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.

But what will she do if Titania demands that she kick Harry's butt? Or he, her? Sorry but that is way too predicable. Murphy isn't the only source of conscience for Harry, there is Michael. Going by the last book he made more sense than she did. I think if she survives the next two books she will survive the series, however to quote a wonderful old movie called "Dodsworth," as "the old wife of a young husband.." Or old girlfriend to a wizard just hitting his prime.. Murphy is also out of her depth here, her thought process is too narrow, she still thinks like a cop. She dismisses the scene between Harry and Eb as normal family dynamics, to an extent it is, but with wizards and what happened in Harry's history, it isn't.
Dina:
Well, Mab cannot order Harry to hurt Murphy, so it would be a brilliant move for Titania to have her as her Knight-And Murphy will be willing to kick Harry if needed, she and Sarissa may probably take some measures so Titania cannot force her to really hurt Harry. At least, physically.

Maybe not directly, but agendas differ and that makes all the difference in the world. Fix has never been an enemy of Harry, in fact back in Summer Knight you'd think they might even have become friends, yet at the end of Cold Days he was trying to kill him because Maeve manipulated Lily into thinking Harry was out to get her. Fix wasn't playing either, so if push came to shove Murphy might find herself in the same situation or Harry could. I also think it would totally end any romance between them for the fans who've wanted that.
Dina:
I agree about the romance, and I don't think that is a problem. And about the rest, it could be interesting, like when Eleaine was the rival emmisary.

Difference there though is Elaine was an old love and how she and Harry parted wasn't exactly how lovers usually part. Harry/Murphy appears to be hot and on the way up so it could very well get in the way of things. Actually it might bring back the dynamic we saw between them in the first couple of books.
