Knight Ceremony [Cold Case Spoilers]
jonas:
Plus, the Knights are made of the the queens, they can Harm the Ladies too, i'm sure. Just look at how Harry thought of being stronger than Maeve... I think that's the loop hole. The Lady goes physically violent/berserker upon her partner, not magically. If the Knight really can take the Lady, perhaps the Knight can take the lady mantle to mantle? His driving him to take, hers driving her to lash out but being overwhelmed...

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.

Yeah, I do plan to brush up on all the books a few months prior to PT relase date. It is part of my habit.

Oh wait, never mind, she made a deal with the Winter Knight to have him kill the Summer Knight, which would be completely pointless and unnecessary if she was capable of doing it herself.

I think the point was that it's not so much what Aurora actually did as the fact that the three Summer queens weren't automatically off the table due to inability to have done it that has bearing on the matter.
But I wouldn't draw too much of a conclusion about the rules of how the Knight mantle is passed from the events of Summer Knight. Even though Harry didn't understand it until much later, Mab must have surmised she was setting him to hunt someone infected by Nemesis, capable of breaking an unknown set of the usual hard-and-fast rules.

They weren't off the table because Harry doesn't know that the Queen's can't actually kill twlheir own Knight - that isn't information the Far share.
Also, even if the Queens didn't physically kill the Knight they still need to be investigated to determine if they ordered his death or know who did kill him.
Third, Harry was looking for the missing mantle, not just the killer, and one of the summer queens should have had it.
If Aurora could kill the Knight she could have just waited for the the moment the table was about to swap, summoned the Knight to the table, threw him on it and killed him. There wouldn't have been any need to plan ahead and hide the mantle.

I guess mysteries are mysteries because something unexplained happened.
