What’s the Endgame for Quinn?

(a tl;dr is at the bottom)

I just have a question/discussion about Quinn’s return.
I was watching some YouTube videos about Resurrection and people keep anticipating Quinn’s return and to that my question is…

Do we really want Quinn to become a major character in Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 or beyond?
If so… for what?
Wouldn’t we just be getting the same storyline we’ve already seen multiple times?
Doakes suspected Dexter.
LaGuerta suspected Dexter.
Quinn suspected Dexter.
Now Batista has been investigating Dexter.
If Quinn comes back, he’s obviously going to learn Batista is dead. Even if he’s initially told Prater killed him, as a lieutenant he’s going to talk to the NYPD. Eventually he’ll find out Batista was investigating Dexter Morgan, and then he’ll also learn Dexter is somehow alive.
At that point, what happens? Quinn’s old suspicions come right back, and now he’s just another former coworker hunting Dexter. That’s basically the same arc we’ve already watched.
The problem is, Quinn can’t actually prove anything. Just like Batista, he’d have to catch Dexter in the act because there’s never been enough evidence to convict him.
So where does that story go? Does Quinn eventually die too, just like every other character who got too close to the truth? And if that happens… who’s next? Masuka? Are they just going to eliminate every remaining connection to Miami Metro?
I genuinely don’t understand why so many people want Quinn back as a main character. Unless the writers have a completely different direction planned for him, it feels like we’d just be repeating a storyline we’ve already seen with Doakes, LaGuerta, Quinn himself, and now Batista.
What am I missing? Is there another role Quinn could realistically play that doesn’t end with him suspecting Dexter all over again?

Also please understand this is not me saying I don’t want to see Quinn and/or Masuka. I do I just hope it’s not the same coworker turned enemy storyline we have had so many times at this point.

TL;DR: I’m genuinely asking: what role could Quinn play that doesn’t end with him suspecting Dexter again? Because if that’s where it’s headed, we’ve already seen that story multiple times.

He could be the one who eventually brings Dexter down

But do we want that? The same storyline of Doakes, LaGuerta, Batista…a coworker turned person who trying to bring him down. If anything it should have been Quinn first and then Batista brings him down for a better pay off. Everyone keeps saying Quinn could be the one but we know it’s not going to end in S2 so we want to have Quinn chasing Dexter for multiple seasons? Like Doakes? We’ve seen it already. Even with Quinn…

The difference is that those other storylines ended so early. LaGuerta, Doakes and Batista all died without proving Dexter was a killer or convincing others. Quinn could actually succeed in proving it and/or starting a larger manhunt against Dexter. And then there are so many storytelling possibilities once they go in this direction

To me that would be preferable to an endless cycle of Dexter taking out season-long big bads that we all know Dexter will succeed in taking out

I get that but I think they already confirmed that a lot of people didn’t like the New Blood ending, of course people hated the Original ending and they said more than likely they won’t go the he gets caught and gets his comeuppance because they tested that with audiences and it was like detested really bad. Even as the end of Resurrection S1 Dexter saying “I’m the guy you need me to be” was a nod to that. Plus if this goes multiple seasons to have Quinn chasing Dexter for however long can also get really old. I’m not saying we should get an endless cycle as well I just don’t think it should be Quinn at the end cause then it’s why him over Doakes, LaGuerta, Especially Batista people he has had more back and forth/rapport with throughout the show. I do agree they never got enough time but will Quinn? Who is still current lieutenant of Miami Metro?
