Who Attacked Arctis Tor, and Why
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:

But sacrificing a thousand goblins to have Harry remove the Outsider-corrupted Scarecrow works for me. (Even with WoJ that unfortunately I was wrong about Mab doing that to get Harry to dump Summer fire in Winter's well and thus enable Summer to hit the Red Court.)
peregrine:
I don't agree that she did kill everyone just as window dressing, but she could have done so with just those we saw at AT no problem. Keep in mind she has a massive force at the Gates, and can have her minions sex up whatever they need to replenish their numbers right quick.

Yeah Mab's job is to make Mab's life easier, not Summers. But do we really think Eldest Fetch was corrupted? I mean it spoke like a Fae who was proud of its station, fed off the fear like other fetches do, Summer powered fire killed it AND I think iirc Harry SAW it with his Sight. Even then he would have noticed a swirling corruption even if he was totally ignorant of what it was back then, something would have been off about the fetch.

I do not think the fallen are that interested in Mab, their main concern is humanity and not the Sidhe. Nemesis had however a clear motive for the attack.
During dead beat Lea was already with Mab but Mab did not know yet about Maeves infection. Lea knew about Maeves infection but apparently Nemesis could keep Lea from telling Mab.
But then Mab started to cure Lea and Nemesis knew what was happening. To protect Maeves cover Lea had to be removed from Mab's custody as soon as possible.
Nemesis gathered everything she could and tried a surprise attack. That attack failed and Maeve tried again with Harry. Harry was supposed to rescue his godmother together with Molly but Lea had gained enough self control to prevent this. A nemesis controlled Lea would have been able to persuade Harry to take her with him.
But Lea stayed where she was and Mab winked.

I might add that Mab probably feigned a weak moment to see who would show up in that Nemesis attack. That is how she learned about the fallen involvement.
I think there is enough proove to show that the circle is just a nemesis thing and the black council is Harry's working name for Nemesis activities.
The rest is puzzling out who is working for Mab and who is working for Nemesis (and maybe who thinks he is working for Mab or someone else but is really working for Nemesis)
Conspiracy Theorist:
Mab was deliberately trying to draw out the attack and to have Harry witness the aftermath.
If you bear this in mind you can fit everything into place. Mab is a mistress of manipulation, she is manipulating both Harry and the Denarians, almost certainly with a view towards identifying the infected Denarians and who is behind them.
She has certainly drawn out Namshiel and probably Lucifer as being Nemesis infected, she also confirmed Maeve's infection.
Mab NEEDS Harry and to have Harry operating from his free will. She cannot command Harry, she can only persuade him, or manipulate him into thinking he has arrived at a particular point through his own decisions. We have yet to see why Mab needs Harry, doubtless it is linked into him being a Starborn.
