Proven Guilty WAG: Rashid's behind it!

A few explanations for this:
1) Mab was so distracted by the Maeve thing that she forgot precisely what was said about Molly.
2) Mab thought that long-term exposure to Harry Dresden would make her less logical/rational and more emotional--summer traits.
3) Rashid implied that Molly would be a Lady, and Mab put it together with the Nemesis thing and assumed that she would be the Winter Lady--an assumption that fell apart when she was forced to confront the fact that Maeve was Infected.

Accepting that Rashid was responsible for splattercon means accepting that Rashid was willing to sacrifice a number of innocent mortals to push his agenda. That is if I'm understanding you correctly. I'm uncertain about that.

That's after several years of Mab manipulating Molly and her situation. For the sake of argument, let's say the theory's true. Rashid says he has seen a future in which Molly is the Winter Lady or whatever. As we've seen in Death Masks, prophecies can be changed. Mab should know this. This brings Molly to Mab's attention as a good candidate for Ladyship. Mab wants Sarissa to be the Winter Lady if something should happen to Maeve. She pushes things in that direction while also setting up Molly as a second backup for Winter Lady and as primary Winter "candidate" for Summer Lady.

He did plan on killing Harry if he didn't choose to stop Aurora after Harry successfully completed the trial the Senior Council set for him. Dude can be pretty cold. He kinda even encouraged him to make the "wrong" choice.

We know that he's willing to sacrifice innocents because he told Harry not to fight for Morgan in Turn Coat.
morriswalters:
When Rashid threatens Harry in Summer Knight it is because of the consequences of Harry taking the easy way out. Thus showing himself not competent to be a true member of the White Council. And in Turn Coat Harry risks a civil war within the Council. And apparently Rashid thought Harry might be part of the conspiracy to cause it.
--- Quote ---I frowned at him, and then my lips parted as I realized what was going on. “And you think I’m with them.”
He paused before speaking—but then, he damn near always did. “Perhaps there is reason. Add to your list of upset balances such things as open warfare erupting between the Red Court and the White Council. A Seelie crown being passed from one young Queen to the next by bloody revolt, and not the will of Titania. Wardens consorting with White Court vampires on a regular basis. College students being taught magic sufficient to allow them to become werewolves. The Little Folk, Wyld fae, banding together and organizing. The most powerful artifacts of the Church vanishing from the world—and, as some signs indicate, being kept by a wizard who does not so much as pay lip service to the faith, much less believe.”
