Knight Ceremony [Cold Case Spoilers]

forumghost:
I think it was to send a message, which is why she put it on Free-view for everyone if Faerie. Secondarily, it was a show of power to Harry, to force him to accept the fact that he is now her Bitch. And lastly it was just because Mab is old-school like that and prefers to do the whole Pomp and Ceremony version of bestowing the Mantle instead of the easy way.

wardenferry419:
Yeah, Mab really is the kill multiple birds with one stone kinda person.

Rasins:
I'm of the opinion that the Sex was not part of the actual transference of the WK mantle.

I think the sex was part of the healing of Harry's back AND a show for all of Fairy Mab's power.

People really need to brush up on Summer Knight...half this stuff is already dealt with in that book since we're introduced to all these new characters. Of course the Queen(s) can kill their own Knight, that was why Harry was investigating them in the first place. And he consulted on the matter with Bob. And the mantle 'snaps back' to the nearest Queen no matter who or what ends up killing the Knight. That's why Aurora was able to hide it the way she did.

And unless someone wants to argue that Aurora and Lily did the deed as a means of transferring the mantle to her before Aurora turned her to stone...I think it's a fair bet that either sex is NOT a requirement, just a fun bonus, or that only a Queen (not the Lady) can use that method.

small thing
i disagree.
 The books show us that there have been a few hundred years of bad recruits and Mab is far too intelligent for that to be something she didn't want.

My thoughts are that the stuff about her own knight being a threat to her is true. Knights focused on drugs or rape wouldn't be any threat to her, and until now she didn't need a powerful knight or a loyal winter lady.

 Mab Knows that Ragnarök is coming and over the last decade or so it seems quite clear to me that shes been preparing for the war to end all wars.
side theory now it seems to me that mab has delt with both winter ladys, her handmaiden and winter knight  and destroyed the red court id say Titania needs to be delt with next. shes obviously too unstable and depressed to lead the summer fay into war, she would be a massive liability.

also with Harry's mysterious and powerful lineage and his starborness. There are all kinds of interesting plot lines Jim could come up with for Mab wanting a child with Dresden.   Also we didn't see Mab for at least 9 months after she knighted harry and when we did she was visibly weakened and fay have showed a  strong desire to have a child with Dresden before.  Id say he most likely has a changeling child out there with Mab
