What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]
Dina:
Not odd per se. I though Mab was planning something. And perhaps Lara herself had plans for the Talks that she changed due to what happened with Thomas.

Oh the timing is very odd, as in suspicious that she and Mab indeed had planned something. Thomas got dragged into it, perhaps to protect Justine. Pulling Harry into it to execute whatever "favor" owed to Lara was insurance that Thomas would survive, so she agreed to it. As far as I know there are no rules about White Court Vamps lying, so she doesn't have to come clean to Harry about what really is going on. What she hadn't planned on was perhaps how badly injured Thomas would be or that Harry would tuck him away in a cell on Demonreach. This would account for her reaction, she realized in that moment that both she and Thomas were being used as pawns in Mab's four dimensional chess game..
Dina:
Yes, I agree with you
potestas:
Bad writing.

Yeah, I know, "people are irrational about family" is one of the themes of the book. But Lara's White Court. She's been surviving in a really deadly society for a long time. She really ought to be more controlled than that.
Even without Demonreach, there wasn't much chance of that working out for her.
She was there in WN. She's seen what happens when a White Court vampire goes up against a combat-capable wizard; it ain't good for the vampire. Sure, she had Valkyrie backup, but Harry could have fried or frozen her just as quickly as he told the island to grab her - before Freydis could have done anything.

More bad writing

Anyone find it odd that just before Harry returns to the embassy compound, Lara pops up in the back of his car with Mab wanting to cash in on the three favors owed the White Court?
