Why, Thomas, Why? (Peace Talks Spoilers)
dresden11:
I think this being, in anyway, a Fomor plot is shaky. The Fomor have literally 0 reasons to care about infighting with the Accords Nations. They are kicking off their war, and they don't care about what the other side is doing. Thus there are no reasons for the Fomor to be behind Justine's or Thomas' actions.
Eb using some black magic on the other hand to force Thomas is an interesting theory. This would cause Harry to lose any trust he has in Eb. Plus it would suit Eb's plans. He hates the White Court. Them being destroyed or very hurt in a war would very much please him. Though you have to ask the question of why are the feds watching Justine? They shouldn't even have her on their radar. So maybe its something else to do with the government. That whole plotline makes no sense because no one really benefits from it. And I don't see it being resolved very well in Battlegrounds because that book will take place during 1 day if not just the night. Thomas will still be locked up for most if not all the book. All the signs are pointing to Justine causing the assassination, but yet again we are left with no reasons or even any clues about a possible reason why this would happen. I just hope we get payoff otherwise it will be a stupid plotline that went nowhere and has no relevance.

It might be Oblivion War stuff... Etri might have some dangerous knowledge that the Venatori want gone. I wonder whether the Archive could order an attack on an Accorded nation for that purpose?

Maybe Etri does know everything about Titanic Bronze, however I suspect the Athame and the Swords can get through it anyhow. We haven’t seen anything about the oblivion war except a short story, but it was in that story that Thomas showed his limited magical talent, again referenced in Peace Talks for only the second time.
noblehunter:
When the Thomas short story was written, Butcher didn't think the Oblivion War would even impinge enough on Harry to make into the main series. It was still the case when Butcher revealed that the war was orchestrated by the Archive.
He might have changed his mind, but for the moment, I think that's grounds to dismiss the Oblivion War as an explanation for Thomas' actions.
Grifter:
For one thing, I'm not convinced Thomas was trying to say "Justine". They might just be Harry's wrong assumption. Maybe he was trying to say "Jade Court". I think there was a suggestion at one point that we might see an operative of theirs in Peace Talks. Or maybe it was "Justin DuMorne" back from the dead and causing trouble.
I know it's probably a stretch for either, but still. A betrayal from Justine seems less likely to me.
In other news, I would have loved a scene with nearly dead and feral Thomas trying to feed on Murphy during the escape. That might have added another layer to the conflict.
