Who will die in Peace Talks but return in Mirror Mirror? Theories
DonBugen:
To be honest, the only character who I really think there’s a chance, thematically, of coming back with Dresden is Molly. She’s been the only character who we’ve repeatedly seen tied to multiple potential futures; the reader has already been trained to think of her as having a number of different potential futures, and it seems fairly clear to me that she’ll feature prominently in Mirror Mirror, judging from Dresden’s dream sequence in Skin Games.
But for Molly 2 to come over, it wouldn’t be because the first Molly died in Peace Talks. No; Winter Lady Molly’s death would be a slow, metaphoric one; a death of the old self as she slowly but surely succumbs to have her personality and soul overwritten by the power of Winter, until she’s nothing but a cruel, sadistic shell of her former self. Alternate Molly then serves as a counterpoint: this is what I could have been, Harry, if you had only chosen differently.

Susan as full on Rampire would be interesting. But as Queen? I don't see that happening. One of the very youngest of Rampires getting that position? Hard to imagine.

I said "The Red Court could make a return with her as it's Queen." I meant that in Harry's realm if Susan returned with him she could restart the Red Court. She would be the oldest since she'd be the first of the new Red Court. With everyone's focus being on the Fomor she'd be able to turn a lot of people into Red Court vamps without being noticed.

It would probably cause Harry a lot of pain to see that, so in that sense it makes sense.
Bonus point if MirrorMolly convinces WinterMolly to ultimately return to the light (but, given all she's done, only in a heroic sacrifice) - we've heard consistently how the Knights of the Cross try to save souls, and Harry tries to let demi-villains like Asscher walk away - but only Sanja in the backstory seems to have truely done it. So we need an on-stage soul-save :)

I'd hate to see Molly die in PT, only to be brought back in MM. Mostly because it would disrupt the Winter Court again.
Personally, I see Eb dying in PT. It'll be interesting to see who the Blackstaff (the actual staff) picks as it's next wielder.
