What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]
Dina:
I totally agree with TCF (also, hi! I haven't seen in a while, I don't even know if you visited your birthday thread)
Morris, Harry did not tell Lara that he would feed Thomas, only that he will keep him safe. I don't think he gave her any detail, and there simply were not much time to talk. She trusted him because she believed Harry cared for their brother, and then she saw Thomas hurt and...disappearing. She felt that she did a terrible mistake and failed Thomas.

The Skin Walker used this to torture Thomas. The process was to torture Thomas to the point of death and then feed him. Thomas was starving and it was killing him. There were no people on the island, so where was he going to get food? I don't think there were any cans of instant vampire food in the cabin. Either Lara is a idiot or Jim thinks we are.

In chapter one we have Thomas, agitated, Justine is pregnant,> Eb showing up at Harry's place to warn Harry that the White Council is out to get him, but no details> sees Thomas and spews all kinds of vitriol against him and he and Harry get into a heated "talk" about him but no one is honest, not Eb on why he hates vamps so and not Harry that Thomas is his brother and Eb's grandson> Harry goes off to have sex with Murphy and the next thing we know Thomas has tried to assassinate
someone and killed someone else and either the Stavaelves are super fighters or Thomas wasn't "topped" off but they manage to beat him up to the point of death... Jump some more and jump some more, they spring Thomas and head to the island... Why one has to ask didn't Lara insist that they stop at the local McDonalds on the way so Thomas could grab a quick snack from one of the employees?
Dina:
I am sure Lara intended to do something like that, but an EMP in Chicago complicated things :)

I could over look the starvation issue, the big elephant in the room is what were his motivations?
Who was behind it? What were their motivations?

I have no way of knowing for certain but I suspect this is the subplot that was created when they decided to split the book. I doubt that Lara was suppose to be involved at all. I can see Harry dragging a half dead Thomas to the island to save his life, but Lara coming along for the ride feels contrived. ?shrug?
