Yup.

Well, that depends on whether it’s Thomas that needs the energy or the demon. If you’re a demon capable of the things that Thomas’s can do, you presumably have the demonic equivalent of a high metabolism, presumably higher than a normal human’s. Removal of the demon (which up until now has been seen as impossible, so no-one knows the consequences) could be all that’s necessary for Thomas’s body to recover on his own.
Another possibility is that this is Harry’s ‘out’ from being the Winter Knight - that Thomas does need an influx of energy, and the Knight’s mantle is how he gets it, same deal as Harry - an immediate need with long term consequences. I don’t actually think this is the case for a bunch of reasons (I don’t see the upside for Mab, Harry needs more power in times to come, not less, and it cheapens the redemption arc) but it’s possible, and it would let Jim have the two brothers standing together against the enemy.

Well if you want a complete mess what about Thomas feeding on other inmates?

He is and he is totally weakened but with the help of the island and its warden something might be arranged.
The propblem of course is that you are what you eat

Yeah, he’s on the “keep the human sane and mostly asleep” protocol.
It occurs to me that the cell might provide its inmate with whatever it needs to keep it alive, which in this case is a whole bunch of energy. This assumes that ‘execution if possible’ isn’t part of the islands purpose, but we’ve seen a previous human inmate surviving reasonably well, so I doubt that.
