Thanks. I actually built the topic without reviewing the scene, and was afraid I'd do something like that. I'll have to rework that part... it certainly weakens some of the arguments.

Boohyah, I remember thinking that way back when reading this, but certainly needed the reminder since I had forgotten all together that she was there when writing this up heh.
Edit: I'd even go so far as to say that that is more significant than any one of the proposed Doylist reasons for Mac being there, maybe all of them combined.

Meh, I don't think it outweighs putting the spotlight on the mystery surrounding Mac. Shooting Thomas could have served the exact same purpose.

Thomas was already beat up pretty badly....though I think shooting him, if Mac wasn't there, coupled with what happened to Molly, would have raised the temperature of the situation much higher. Things would have worked out differently.
BTW - has it been resolved as to weather or not Mac owes Mab fro removing the bullet?

Not for certain but I tend to favor peregrine's notion that Maeve shooting him enabled Mab to 'right the wrong' so to speak and undo the damage that a lesser being of her Court did. The favor if any, essentially, was owed BY Mab and she fulfilled it by removing the bullet.
