The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Chapter 5 Drop
edf:
For some reason I had this rather odd thought while reading through this when they were discussing Murphy's healing. Neither wizard magic nor medicine hold the answer, but there are other ways Murphy could be made viable again. The most obvious would be doing what Dresden did when he broke his bad. She could take up either Knight mantle. Mab wouldn't easily relinquish her claim on Dresden, but we haven't really seen much out of the Summer Knight lately. The current Summer Lady may even believe she owns Dresden a favor worthy of allowing him to recommend Murphy as Fix's replacement if something where to happen to him in the next book or two.

Taking up the Summer Knight's mantle would put her at odds with Harry. Not only that, but her main objection to being a Holy Knight was being an occasional sock puppet for the Almighty. That would be total freedom compared to the Summer Knight's mantle... That's assuming that it is as hard to control as the Winter mantle is.
Marcone has his fingers in lots of pies, including the police.
Dina:
I may be totally wrong, but I don't see Marcone blackmailing Harry, specially not in a way that threatens Murphy. I think Marcone know that is very dangerous for his own sake.
I've felt so sorry for Murphy...the Dresdenverse needs healing potions right now.

The Rudolph part is weird. I'm surprised nothing happened to him after being a pawn for the Reds in Changes... but then, I'm not sure why I'm surprised. I never thought about how that would play out.
I think the Fomor have gotten to him. Why not? First the reds, then the Fomor. But there is a Black Council person behind both of the contacts. That person passed his info to the Reds, and now that the Reds are gone, passed it on to the Fomor.
Count me as one that believes the "Wrote Murphy's Funeral" line. There will be a funeral. She'll probably die, but maybe she'll go into hiding or take up a mantle. Both would explain why she wasn't at Christmas Eve.

I also don't think that Marcone would use the cops to go after Harry. That's simply not his style, he's a hands-on man.
I also feel bad for Murphy, but I somehow don't see this state lasting for long. It would be profoundly difficult for her to adapt to a role where she is kept on the sideline from the action.
I also don't see Jim killing her off, because that also would be deeply disrespectful to the character ("Outlived her utility? Off she goes, for a bigger guilt trip for Harry!") and this isn't the style of writing Jim uses. Although I still suspect that employment with Vadderung may be in her future, to pay off the set-up in Ghost Story.
At least she and Harry are getting some action. It's pretty much time after sixteen books!
