Removed "Race Lift" from trope list as this was incorrect information. The first book described Doakes as being black. See this (https://readerslibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/Darkly-Dreaming-Dexter.pdf) on page 37 for proof

Vince is the Miami Metro Police lead forensic investigator and works alongside Dexter in the lab and in crime scenes. He often cracks innuendo to the rest of the team, and harbors decidedly unrequited feelings for Debra. He is portrayed as obsessed with sex'the kinkier the better'and is not shy about propositioning every woman he meets.

Does Not Like Shoes has been renamed and redefined to focus on characters that explicitly or implicitly state a preference for going barefoot. Removing misuse
Deleted line(s) 49 (click to see context) :
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Downplayed, in that she really just hates heels. She complains about them and removes them whenever she can after her promotion to lieutenant, and is so annoyed by them at the New Year's party in season 7 that she takes them off and is barefoot when she [[spoiler:shoots [=LaGuerta=]]]. She never seems to have a problem with athletic shoes, though.

* ThePlotReaper: He's the most well-known HeroAntagonist of the series, so his suspicious nature would've inevitably ended up clashing with Dexter. His actor Erik King even notes that they couldn't have spent several seasons with Doakes saying "I'm watching you" without losing the integrity of the character. The issue is the Doakes doesn't fit Dexter's code and the trials would likely take years (by Dexter's own admission). Luckily for Dexter, Lila ends up resolving the issue for him. While there have been cops that have taken up Doakes' role as a suspicious antagonist, they haven't been nearly as effective.

** This also extends to Dexter somewhat, as she can't stand anyone showing him attention over her. She acted like a jealous teenager when Rudy wanted a friendship with him, and even moreso when she believed Lundy sought out his opinion over hers (Lundy actually just couldn't stand Masuka), even though it would be perfectly reasonable since Dexter is a highly regarded forensics expert while she's a rookie cop with less than a year in homicide under her belt. This all relates back to her dad's perceived favouritism toward Dexter when he was secretly teaching him the code.
