The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]
Mr. Death:
She was nearly drained, too -- when people are hungry, they don't necessarily think as rationally as they would otherwise.
Lara is near a breaking point -- Thomas nearly dead, the whole city about to be plunged into Chaos, and a mortal world aware of vampires is one that will kill her.
She's not acting like she normally would, which is the point -- this is an extraordinary circumstance even by her standards, and everyone has a breaking point.
Bad Alias:
Harry, who is almost always very straight with everyone he deals with, saved Thomas in a manner that gave him serious leverage over Lara. Sure he's outplayed her before, but it's always worked out to benefit her a great deal. This time it didn't. This time it was pretty one-sided in Harry's favor. And that was when he was working for her paying back very valuable favors. I'm pretty sure that would have been enough to have her off balance. With everything else mentioned by others, she was bound to let her emotions get the better of her.

However when you come down to it, how many choices did Harry have? He and Lara are just lucky that he is the Warden of Demonreach. I guess if this was an earlier book with nothing else but the Accords and the life of Thomas at stake, Harry would have spent the three hundred and fifty pages teasing out who was behind the crime in the first place and maybe get Thomas off that way...

Doesn't matter. Lara still feels like she got played.
RulesLawyer:
What if it was a good way for Laura to learn what he can do while on the island now? There's probably not many that know. Could just be old fashioned rage regarding family. That's been in Turn Coat with her sisters. And the Puck comic book.
Probably a little column A, little column B.
