New Drop Chapter Three
Uriel_spook:
That end of chapter cliff hanger brings 3 candidates to mind for me if what is referenced ultimately happens (unclear how to do spoiler tag when typing on phone so attempting to be vague):
Molly // Thomas // Eb himself.
I feel that Eb would be the most impactful from a story perspective. It also makes me reflect on a scene in the wonderfully done trailer that was released.
I’ll look forward to next week’s release. Does anyone know if it is extending beyond 4 pre-release chapters? For some reason that # is what I recall being done in the past but we would still have 3 weeks to go from next Tuesday so I wasn’t sure. Thanks.

I'm with knightedbishop on the svartalves. But I dunno where that's gonna go. Hopefully we'll get to see more of them just to balance things out.
@Uriel_spook: I'm not too sure, but I'm fairly sure that we're just getting snippets of a chapter or two. I can't imagine that these are the full chapters. So I bet we'll get at least one more of them.
knightedbishop:
I’m confident these are the full chapters, not snippets. I think last time we got a total of five chapters before the book release.

After reading this I was left the very strong feeling that it was going to be Eb who betrayed him. After all, how else could Eb be so sure and so sad about it? Harry had seen through the distraction this was, which Eb was hoping would have Harry running off to the council while Eb set something up that Harry wasn't supposed to see. Since Harry saw through that/refused to do that, it means Harry is going to have to deal with Eb's betrayal.
What I don't understand is why 1. Harry doesn't tell Eb about their relationship with Thomas. and 2. Why Harry doesn't tell Eb about the probably Black council - nemesis connection.
Eb deserves to know he has another grandson (or in his opinion maybe grand-thing) running around, and as we know from the trailer, this might have been important information for him to have had, since Thomas is going to need a lot of help in this book.
As for the nemesis, we know people are wary about naming it and "attracting its attention" or "letting it know you know about it" but Harry literally had a conversation with Nemesis directly when it over-wrote Cat Sith. He tried to talk Cat Sith into fighting it and failed and then talked with Nemesis. Nemesis knows Harry knows about it, so what's the point of not telling others about it now. It is important to know that the black council probably consists of people infected by it or convinced to people infected by it into what they are doing, and that they probably have a wide range of nemesis infected allies. As a matter of fact, a discussion of that nature with the Merlin, if he is in the know about the nemesis/outsider threat, may be what brings him around to support/protect Harry.
Walter the skull:
I just reread Christmas Eve which takes place after Peace Talks and Battle Ground. Harry seems to be on good terms with Molly, Mab, and Kringle, so i think its safe to assume that they aren't in on whatever the plot against Harry is. In the story he refers to himself as a wizard of the White Council, so the plot isn't successful.
Let's look at some people that it might be.
I think Carlos is being shown as a likely candidate since he ask Dresden to help with security, which means he won't able to be at the upcoming council meeting. I don't think its him. He's Harry's peer, so he can't really order Harry to be involved in the security operation. He couldn't stop Harry from going to the council meeting.
Luccio is someone Harry trust who could definitely screw him, if she wanted to. I don't see that happening. She was the unwilling black council pawn in book 11, so I doubt she would be an unwilling pawn again. As for her joining the black council of her own free will, after what they did to her, I don't see that happening.
I don't know why Ebeneezer would betray Harry. If he wanted Harry out of the way all would need to do is...nothing. He could just let the Merlin and Ancient Mia get rid of him.
I wonder if we'll see Elaine, she could easily screw Harry, and she's shady as hell.
Lara would throw Harry under the bus if she thought it would benefit her. I don't think he's stupid enough to let his guard down around her.
Murphy would be a gut punch, and she wouldn't do it willingly. Note that she isn't mentioned at all in Christmas Eve.
Thomas has a kid on the way, if the Black Council threatens Justine, he may feel he has no choice but to help them. Note that he isn't mentioned at all in Christmas Eve.
It could be Native American Joe. He definitely doesn't want a civil war within the council and was willing to let Morgan die to avoid that. He fights the Black Council at the island,and he does come to Harry's aid at the council meeting at the end of Turn Coat. He could go either way.
Fix might turn on Harry he may blame him for Lily's death. Maybe he went after Nemesis and ended up getting turned.
It could be a minor character like, Yoshimo, Wild Bill, Chandler, or Martha Liberty. We know very little about them.
