Jim has hinted that the government has at least a clue of what's going on. We've seen evidence of this in Dog Men. Maybe the feds are pushing the investigation, so they can make Murphy an offer she can't refuse. Come work for us and this investigation goes away. Maybe Uncle Sam can hook Murphy up with a clinical trial of stem cell treatments for her injuries. This idea would be cool because it keeps Murphy a vanilla mortal, brings her back to something like law enforcement, and it could add more tension to Harry's relationship to her and to his relationship with the council. It might even fit the funeral line, what if her new job is so secret that they fake death.

Don't really see it myself. From what we know those guys think that all things from the magic side are equally in need of culling, and iirc we have a woj that they influenced things to shaft Murphy just for being friends with Harry. They probably consider her to have 'gone native' at this point.

Like I said, they have none, they are still vanilla humans, but Murphy already rejected being a Holy Knight. What is suggested for her, Summer Knight, supernatural powers with the mantle or an Einherjar, a dead warrior. If being a Holy Knight didn't fit her, then Summer Knight or Einherjar wouldn't, and would doom her being with Harry.

No, Harry mentions the idea -- "getting Faustian" -- and Murphy shuts that down "firmly."

Murphy also has admitted to being lost. She is by nature a protector. That is the seeming role of the Summer Knight. Now, let be honest, it's not nice, but sometimes the police aren't either. Also, Murphy kind of exists as Harry's conscience. I am pretty sure Jim won't kill off two major supporting characters and he is playing up Murphys weakness. Jim is often foreshadowing. And remember the Sidhe can't lie. From Murphy's point of view, this is an opportunity to be there for Harry when needed, keep him from going to far off the deep end.
Now of course there will be a catch as well. And Harry and Murphy will suffer for it. But I fully admit I can be wrong. But this would be well within character. And a way Jim can keep Murphy in the story without being ineffective. Also from Summers point of view, Murphy is a master martial artist in a defense based martial art. She is tailor made for the job.
