Hey @Monomeeth - check this out
@Kerrick I've upvoted this answer as I agree with bmike that you should plan on one display per physical port on the Mac. Any third display will have to use HDMI etc and will be hit & miss as you couldn't guarantee it'd work, as some displays don't play nicely with some adaptors. I recently helped a lady with the same MBP but with another Dell screen (it was a 27" though) and we had to try three adapters before finding one it would work with (it didn't work with the official Apple one either). Anyway, in a nutshell you can't do what you want with a single cable, nor with a single dock/hub. — Monomeeth ♦ 14 hours ago

I also know that the Dell P2415Q's daisy-chain...

Currently if I attempt this my monitors become a new desktop, but they are mirrored. Unable to get the 2nd monitor detected by OS X. Previous research on this topic shows t...

What's fascinating is the report that BootCamp and Windows on Apple hardware releases the configuration / restriction and the two daisy chained displays are presented as separately addressable displays.
I had no idea to even test this.
