What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]

I don't think she was starving, but typically when someone is out of juice, they're exhausted and not capable of fighting/playing/continuing. Which strikes me as odd given her presumed power level as White Queen.

That is how white court vampires work. If their reservoir runs empty they can do less and their hunger puts on pressure to feed. Lara is always well fed. She has little experience in running low.

For me; the real question is, Why didn't Lara ask Harry specific questions about his plan to keep Thomas safe and hidden. I mean Harry had to have told Lara something like, "I can put Thomas in a kind of stasis that will both protect him from tracking spells and his own hunger, but everything I need to do it is on an island in Lake Michigan" All Lara would have had to have said was something like, "Why there?" and "How does it work?"
In theory, Harry could have lied to Lara if she had asked one or both of the above two questions, but that's not really Harry's style and Lara would know that. So in this situation, Lara charging Harry with a blade is odd; and maybe even somewhat out of character, but what is even more odd is Lara not doing her due diligence.

It started earlier but slowly Jim is showing us that the all powerful super humans are more vulnerable than Harry thought they were. Mab and her daughter. Lara running low. Ebenezer and control issues. Nicodemus not as smart as we thought.

I don't think he would have mentioned stasis. I believe he told her that the island had magical defenses or something like that. The thing is,Harry and Lara had not idea a Titan would appear to create chaos and endanger the whole city. So why Lara thinks Harry did a whole ruse to have the Raith forces protecting him and leverage her? He conceived all that in a minute, as soon as he saw the Titan? And did something completely out of character for him in all the years they have known each other? Nonsense. It makes more sense that Harry is being sincere, that he has done the best he could to protect their brother and she should help him. Besides, don't forget that Lara used her favor to force Harry. I understand her anger and frustration but I would hope it would get better after Lara had some time to cool off. Unfortunately, the whole conversation in the island foreshadows Lara doing something awful to Harry in the future (which, I don't like).
