What will Thomas learn from the British Prisoner?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Its why Mab held the Peace Talks in Chicago, Harry at his most powerful and the most powerful distraction.

Except Harry really wasn't a distraction in Peace Talks.

My best guess; and I've said this elsewhere but I'll go into a little more detail, is Mab knew the Fomor were going to make a move, and Fomor treachery would be the order of the day. Mab wanted to draw Ethniu out into the open, and do so at a time and place where the Titan would be vulnerable. When the Fomor asked for a Peace conference it was the perfect opportunity to goad Ethniu into showing herself by having a mortal host the talks. Marcone must have received a favor or three for being the host. What was most important was that Mab had already arranged for her Knight to be armed with a weapon that can incapacitate an immortal, and Harry already had the perfect place to lock her up..
Harry also needs to be able to get past the Titan's special bronze armor, but that's a separate issue. That's where the Sword of Faith comes in, but it might be going too far to claim that Butters or any of the KotC were a part of Mab's calculations.
So Mira's right, Harry isn't the distraction, he's the secret weapon.

Yeah, Harry is probably in a much better position to deal with Ethniu than any of the vastly more powerful beings around.
A fight between Immortals, outside Halloween, isn't going to accomplish much in any lasting way. So while Mab, Odin, and Ferrovax all working together might be able to defeat Ethniu, it wouldn't really stop her long-term (and Ferrovax has already said he won't go all-out due to collateral damage).
But with Demonreach, Harry can imprison Ethniu, and she'll stay gone.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry is the weapon, McAnally is the distraction, family squabbles are after all the deepest distraction possible, Harry already used Thomas in his fight with Eb.
Yeah immortals can reform, so that even if Harry had liberated the holy wood chipper (used the recycle the cross) from Hades Vault and ran Ethnui through that, Ethnui spam would be back to repeat on him.
I think the Athame (which is much more powerful than the swords, multiple angels or archangels inside) can pierce Titanic Bronze as can all the swords. There is no question they can all cut inanimate matter. What won’t work with the Faithsaber is using a mortal as a human shield, which has doubtless been a tactic in the past, and something I suspect Corb would do. Remember Ethnui has an army that has to be got through.
