* [[TheExtremistWasRight Doakes]] response to Dexter executing a serial killer right in front of him. You could tell that despite Dexter being the Bay Harbor Butcher, Doakes was actually trying to reason with him and talk sense into him - until that. Doakes' HeroicBSOD, while short, is ''painful'' to watch.
