At the end of episode eight, Miguel Prado goes to Ellen Wolfe’s house. He knocks on the door, she answers, and he steps in. The viewer isn’t sure whether he forces his way in or whether this is usual. We wonder: is he there to kill her, or just to fuck her?
My money is on kill her. Here is why:
Prado’s wife Silvia tells Rita in an earlier episode that Miguel has been distant and staying away late since his brother was killed. If Prado were having an affair with Wolfe, it would likely have been going on for some time; not just since his brother was murdered. In fact, that would seem like a very unlikely time to start an affair.
We also know Prado wants her dead; in an earlier episode he asks Dexter to kill her. Moreover, we now know that Prado enjoys killing. Everything is set up perfectly for him to go and off Ms. Wolfe.
Spoiler TV has two clips from the next episode. These clips lead me to conclude that it is likely that Wolfe has gone missing and that it is likely that Prado killed Wolfe. Of course, we can’t be sure from these clips, and I’d actually be pretty disappointed with the Dexter production team if these clips weren’t misleading.
I have reservations about this, though: it is unlikely that Dexter would continue to work with Prado if he were to know that Prado killed Wolfe, and we know that Dexter does continue to work with Prado. If Prado did kill Wolfe, there is only one way for this season to end: Dexter must kill Prado. I am not so sure that this is the way the writers want this season to end; it is simply too cliche (I don’t know how to type an accent into wordpress and I’m lazy. Deal with it.)
I’d say that there is a 75% chance that Prado kills Wolfe, and a 25% chance that he is fucking her. The latter would be far better for the plot of the show, but the former just seems much more likely. If only someone would put episode nine online before it airs next week….
