Don't get over it quickly. I want to read about the horror in a hundred posts or so.

Jim likes to complicate Harry's life. There is a really effective way to do this. Make Murphy the Summer Knight. In some ways she has been marked for it. The first is her inherit distrust of Harry (Winter) when he took up the Mantle by not giving him the Sword. The big one is she was the one to kill Maeve, the Winter Lady. Those two things to me seem like a big reason the Summer Knight's Mantle would gravitate towards her if Fix dies. She'd also be a very effective Summer Knight. Combine her martial arts background with the power of the Summer Knight, and her gun skills and she'd be really effective. Also Titania may like the idea of using her as it would really mess with Dresden's mind, and give Summer a psychological edge on him. Not to mention the Romeo/Juliet angle.

That's one of the few Murphy power-ups I could get behind. It would provide a little side-portion of irony after all the foreshadowing for her becoming a Knight of the Cross, too—she becomes a Knight after all, just a different kind.
Mr. Death:
Yeah, somehow I really don't think Murphy's going to take up the mantle whose literal and only known job is "fight the guy who I'm in love with."
Especially considering she's not looking to get in bed with any supernatural deals, apparently.
I mean, "Jim wants Harry to suffer" does not override basic character traits and motivations.
Titania stated outright she doesn't give half a goddamn about Harry -- or anything -- anymore. So she's not going to go to extra effort to make his life hell.
Murphy has refused power-ups before from arguably much more benevolent sources, so she clearly doesn't want supernatural power. She knows enough about the Faeries to know you don't get anything out of a deal with them except bent over. And she's not going to take a position that makes her by default the mortal enemy of the man she loves.

Oh, I agree that it'll never happen, but I wouldn't mind it if it did.
