Maeve was at Splattercon!!! disguised as a vampire.
Elegast:
Thanks to Griffyn612, we even know the reason for each attack.
The first attack was targeting Pell. Aim: free the theater,where there is a Way to Artis Tor.
The second attack was to make Harry react, and make sure he would send the phages to Molly.
The third attack was targeting the vampire/girl to make sure there would be no witness.
--- Quote ---The third victim had been one of the little vampire girls I’d seen the previous evening. I could only tell because her head had landed facing me. The rest of her was hopelessly intermixed with the other two bodies.

--- Quote ---Time resumed its course. The energy that powered the spell fled out of me in another rush, and left me lying on my side, struggling to draw in enough breath. I could feel the spell sizzling down the lines of power for the summoner, and a heartbeat later there was a sense of impact as the spell went home. As it happened, the entities my web touched went abruptly still, the web ceasing its trembling—and then they all surged forward into sudden motion, vanishing from the web, and presumably streaking after the lure.
All but one.

That's why Harry's spell failed. Mab knew Harry was planning a redirection spell. The last phage was specifically send to kill the vampire/girl and could not be diverted.
The fourth attack was targeting Glau, killing the last witness, saving Harry if necessary, and taunting him.

But Maeve's behaviour in Proven Guilty actually supports this. Maeve was acting in Summer Knight and Harry fell for it.
And Fix should know:
--- Quote ---Fix sipped at his lemonade and said, “For the love of God, Maeve. Would you
give the Evil Kinkstress act a rest? It gets tired pretty fast.”
--- End quote ---
She is performing an act. She is hiding her true intelligence. The only question is how much she is hiding.

--- End quote ---
No. She was sobbing during attack n°2. SHe was killed during n°3.
Ms Duck:
me confused. Maeve is a sidhe, a master of glamour. she could have looked like a potted plant if she had wanted too; furthermore, why kill the witness? please explain.

I'm not truly supporting this theory yet, but if I was, here's how I would propose it.
Maeve did it
When Harry first arrives at SplatterCon!!!, he sees two young sexy women dressed up as vamps. His first reaction was to blast them. It was initially assumed to be an overreaction, but may have been his subconscious picking up on Maeve's spell.
- One of the two vamps is Maeve in a glamour.
- The other is a mortal who doesn't even know who Maeve is, or that she's even there.
- Even Molly watches them and frowns; Harry assumes because of his reaction.
Two Minus One
After seeing the two together at the beginning, Harry never sees the two together again.
- One is in the hallway during the Reaper attack, running in fear.
- One is killed during the Alien attack.
Where was the other one in each instance? If they were friends, they wouldn't abandon each other twice.
- During the Reaper attack, Maevamp might have been the one still in the room, casting the murk. When Harry hit the Reaper, she ran out, and then the murk released.
- During the Alien attack, someone had knocked out the emergency lights. He didn't spot anyone suspicious, but there were people running around. And with no murk to keep going, she might have been further away.
The vamp's death wouldn't have to be planned, or eliminating witnesses. It could just be that she was in the wrong place twice, because Maeve was around her both times the phages came through.
Why?
Why would Maeve do all of this? I don't know, it still doesn't make enough sense to me to reason out. We can say Mab told her to do it, but we don't know what Mab's intentions were.
