Speculation: What did Mab remove from Harry's memory this time?

(1/7) > >>

RulesLawyer:
I'm proposing that the slip up of Dresden mentioning in Peace Talks that he's only been in the BFS while dead is not a mistake, it's a clue.

In Skin Game, Molly and Dresden go to the BFS. Dresden specifically mentions how he unnerves the guard with his ghost knowledge of the facility. It's half of a chapter at the end of the book. Not likely to be forgotten by Jim. No way the betas missed it either. That means Dresden doesn't remember the Skin Game visit.

So, what happened at the Skin Game visit. Dresden and Molly confronted Marcone and Mab, who was in her judgement aspect. Why? If Marcone and Mab were in cahoots why be in judgment form? After Harry and Molly mollify (pun intended) Marcone through the wereguild, Mab does the following: "But, she [Mab] regarded me with a look of displeasure that promised me a reckoning later. Molly got the same glare."

What was the reckoning? Why doesn't Harry remember that confrontation? I'm speculating that Mab altered his memory, again. She did it before in Small Favor with his memory of fire, which was a very deep set of memories. She must have done it fast too during their meeting in the street.

This seems to fit with the book Peace Talks. The whole book feels just a bit...off. Can't put my finger on why. It's like we are missing a scene or two. My vote is that Mab and Marcone are up to something. The whole Peace Talks are their idea/host. Dresden was likely either involved with their plan or would do something against Mab's interest if his memories weren't taken. If I had to speculate further, the whole services to Lara and rescue of Thomas was likely completed expected or planned by Mab and known by Marcone. And Mab likely was very aware of the last Titan. They likely have a history and this whole mess was part of her plan to likely clear out earth conflicts to focus on the upcoming outsider problem. It's like she (and Odin) are checking off a list.

It might explain a few things too, like the conjuritis (and not-supposed-to-happen) ache through the winter mantle. I would wager they are related to some stuff that was wiped. Could also explain why after buying off Marcone someone is still putting police pressure on Harry and Karin. And, I hate to say it, but after reading "Love Hurts" in Side Jobs, doesn't Karin and Harry's new love relationship seem just a bit..odd. Believable, but odd.

Something's up. What do you all think?

Bump because of delayed approval.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Mab removed every single memory from Harry regarding his habitual hat wearing, and did the same from every other entity.

Perhaps she removed from Harry the knowledge regarding Conjouritis AFTER infecting him.

Quite possible.

I agree here.

Yeah - given Thomas being moved to Marcone's building so Harry and Lara could rescue him, a very good bet.

Well, I don't think this can be the result of mind manipulation, because Lara's reaction to Harry demonstrates that it's actually True Love.

But otherwise I agree.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Little Chicago. Harry knows his lab is there but doesn’t think about Little Chicago or wonder what happened to it (or his comic book collection either, but I am presuming that is less essential). There is also the reference to the old copper summoning circle, not his fancy Swartalves circle which was concurrent with LC and which would have been a memory linked to LC. Why mention that and not LC? His previous visit in SG missing, did he see something which might have been relevant to LC? So that memory had to go? Along with the memory of that visit.
