Thomas as new Lord Raith figurehead for Lara.
Murphy meeting her dad.
I like the one I highlighted, the second one not so much. However, I could see a future scene; not necessarily in Peace Talks, where a supernatural character meeting Murphy for the first time says, "I saw your father in action once. He was dissuading a friend of mine from preying upon another mortal. Your father was very effective. He annoyed me very much." Something to both add some mystery and get Murphy thinking about her dad.
However, my prediction is we will be shown that the White Council has lost its internal unity. It is only pretending to be unified to the outside supernatural world. The division we saw in Changes haven't healed. Cristos has more influence and the Merlin is accommodating him in an attempt to show unity to both real and potential outside threats and protect the Council from the internal threat of dissolution and civil war.
This will set up a long term problem for Harry, and one that goes well past Peace Talks. Harry will have to decide where he stands, and probably on more than one issue. For example, I could see Harry initially decide to support the Merlin in Peace Talks, much to Arthur Langtry's surprise, only to decide to split with the Council at a later time under different circumstances.
