Murphy in Peace Talks (WoJ spoilers)
dspringer1:
Murphy may take a different role -- that of advisor and chief of staff for Dresden. He already has a track record of going to Murphy for advice and Murphy already has a track record of organizing the Paranet.
I can totally see Murphy being lost (career wise) in Peace Talks and leaving Peace Talks with new direction -- as the warleader of Harry's forces. She will be the one that coordinates the paranet, works closely with Billy, leverages the wee folk, and coordinates with SI, manages alliances with other powers. After all, she has already been doing this while Harry has been dead. Harry is still going to be there at the decision points, but the groundwork behind these decisions can now be delegated to Murphy.
We have already started to see trends of Harry working the political game, managing allies, coordinating with larger organizations. Many believe that Harry will be on the senior council and/or the Merlin at some point in the series. He cannot assume those roles as a lone wolf. Murphy successful as "chief of staff" can (over time) give him the credibility to assume those roles - because Harry would have shown he can manage larger organizations effectively.
And the fact that Murphy is still vanilla mortal in this role has many valuable effects -- some of which were already mentioned on this thread.

I think I can see Murphy being coopted by the Librarians...

Dspringer1,
I've been thinking about Harry's future, and he wont make the Senior Council during the series. After, who knows, but not during. He's just too young. Sure, they could change the way they pick the SC, but I doubt that's going to happen.
Now, that's not to say he won't be A leader of the council by the time the BAT rolls around. I think he'll have the Blackstaff by then, and that'll be his major role in the council.
RobReece - I could totally see that, except that I doubt that Jim wants Murphy to disappear. I think that would have to happen for her to join the Librarians.

My personal WAG? Once everything is set and done, the BAT is survived etc. There is no White Council anymore. There is the Paranet and its highest position is the Dresden.

It could have been a joke, but if Murphy really dies in Peace Talk, I would postulate that the most likely reason is to raise her as a Valkyrie. It seems to soon to end her and Harry's fledgling relationship, but, IMO, there are just too many things which would fall into place to not make this at least a very likely proposition:
- It solves the aging issue for her relationship with Harry
- It gives her a new purpose in life, after losing her old one, when she left Chicago police
- There has been foreshadowing for it, her training with the Einherjar and getting close with Odin's organization
- It is a source of future conflict, when her working for Odin comes into conflict with something Harry is doing
Maybe this is a bit too obvious, though. A lot of people thought that Karrin would be the next wielder for one of the swords and Jim trolled us in that regard. What do you guys think?

Murphy's dead. She dies tragically. More than that, all I really wanna theorize on this one at this point, Is when am I going to get to read this great story I see coming lol.
