Will the Big Moment Come in Peace Talks?

But that is nothing special, that is just Harry being Harry. Peace talks will show that Harry is still a member with all the rights and obligations that brings.

Sidhe thinking. Since when can you get rid of an obligation or debt just by taking up another one? Medieval thinking. If you have fiefs in two kingdoms you have to serve two kings and figuring out how to do so is your problem.
The idea that you can have only one nationality, master, etc. is relatively modern and even now far from universally accepted. My wife has two passports, no problem at all.
Mab takes these obligations very seriously. Lea mentoring Molly and helping her protecting Chicago as the ragged lady showed that as well.
There may be conflicts but Mab will not on purpose prevent Harry from his obligations. Worst case that would mean Mab would have to fulfill them in some way.
Everything points to the council having a similar way of thinking. Harry is not the first wizard making deals outside the council and they just claim all wizards regardless of their other obligations.
Besides, they are paying his salary.

That all makes sense and seems logical, but I just don’t see the white council arresting and executing Molly, for example, if they meet up in Peace Talks. I’d think they’d be equally stand-offish regarding arresting and executing Dresden for something he does as winter knight while conducting business for Mab. I think, for the moment, he and Molly are a bit out of their grasp. Moreso for Molly. They just need to watch out if the day comes and they are no longer part of the winter court because, then, I think, the white council would come to make them pay the bill.
Mira:
The Council isn't going to touch Molly as long as she is the Winter Lady... No way are they about to piss off Mab and start a war with the Winter Court.
Arjan:
Molly is not human anymore, according to the councils definition of human. That will place her outside the councils jurisdiction.
