New Drop Chapter Three
Walter the skull:
Maybe Harry didn't have Maggie come out and say hi to Ebeneezer he didn't want Bonea's existance to be common knowledge. Maggie's 10 she could've easily slipped and told Ebeneezer that she was making pancakes with her friend.
I think he definitely thinks somethings up with Harry and Thomas. Think about it, he walks in and Harry is making breakfast for Thomas.
Ebeneezer also says, “Look, Hoss. Your business is your own. I don’t come riding in here all the time trying to run your life. And I shouldn’t have thrown a wrench in whatever you had going with the vampire. But you’re young, and I got experiences with them and perspective on them that you don’t. I don’t want you to figure it out the hard way, that’s all.”
Whatever you've got going on?

@Walter the Skull: Yeah exactly. Which means if he 'knows' who Thomas is, then that's probably one of the biggest reasons that he dislikes Thomas. So maybe the scene will be that Harry thinks he's dropping a bombshell on Eb, when really Eb can just turn around and say I know, which makes it worse that Thomas is trying to sleep with you. Cue Thomas and Harry being grossed out.

What if the betrayal involves Eb setting up Thomas for political purposes of the White Council?
It would fulfill several of these loose ends and cause one hell of a kerfuffle amongst all the parties.

Wow! This makes a great deal of sense to me. It also explains the scene in the trailer when Eb says to Harry, "Boy! Tell me, you ain't dumb enough to try this." and Harry not only responds that he's dumb enough, he pulls up a shield or is drawing up his power. I don't mean that Harry is directly squaring off with Ebenezer, I mean he's going against the plan Eb set into motion.
About Harry not mentioning Nemesis; well, Harry has to be very circumspect about how he brings up this topic with anyone, even Ebenezer. Also, Nemesis isn't the direct threat in this situation. In some deeper discussion about the Black Council it might be worth bringing up, but right now Harry has to worry about who might stick the knife in his back and the person or faction on the Council that is giving them their marching orders. That Nemesis might be or probably is the ultimate string puller is almost irrelevant. Even if Harry knew that; just as an example, Cristos had been turned by Nemesis and was behind the plot against him, Harry can't do anything to Nemesis; at least not yet, he can only move against its agent.
Om the topic of preview chapters; sure, it would be nice if we got five preview chapters, but I remember there was one book where we only got Jim reading three chapters at a book signing that was posted on YouTube and nothing more until the book was released. So even if we only get one more preview chapter that's better than just three.
Disappointment: I really wanted Harry to say to Ebenezer: (click to show/hide)"Sir, about the vampire. He's my half-brother,... and your grandson. I thought you should know, if you didn't already" Harry did have enough time to say that much.

It does look like a sensible theory! Another idea has occurred to me, too ...
It could be that Eb just thinks Harry is overmatched in whatever he's preparing to fight. Maybe Harry is about to rescue Thomas from Svartalven "justice."
Maybe it's moments after the scene teaser'ed earlier, with the cornerhound(s?) -- Eb doesn't think Harry can face them.
Etc.

That might make things worse and he did not consult Thomas either.
