[PT Spoilers] Why Wait?
vultur:
I don't think Lea can be standing in for Mab while Mab handles the Gates in disguise as Lea, though it's a great idea.
She says that "my second" informed her about the Gate. Lea is Mab's second, but if Mab and Lea had swapped identities, I think the Faerie inability to lie would keep Lea from describing Mab that way. She would have had to say something like "our commander on site"...
Now maybe Lea has her own "second" but... Also, Corb seems to have actually angered Mab with references to her mortal life.

Yeah, I think Titania will continue to do nothing useful.
Molly will surely be involved, and I guess her "personal guard" or "retinue" or whatever, though the rest of Winter (except Harry) is occupied at the Gates.

I don't know. I kind of think that Ethniu is using the Outsider attack to distract Winter from her plans, rather than vice versa.
But I guess the larger question is... given that Mab's Purpose is defense of reality against the Outside, how do the Accords benefit that? And why are they needed "now" - it seems like the Accords are a relatively recent innovation?

Yes, but couldn't Rashid be considered more so? I mean we learned in Cold Days that he is more or less the general in charge of the defense of the Gates.

I think you are wrong there, Summer is Winter's back up, if the Outsiders breech the Gates she stands to lose as well.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Winter are the CIA and Summer the FBI, summer is a fraction of the size of Winter as regards it’s military force, Titania can’t add significantly to the defence of Chicago as regards manpower, but may attend if told that there is a significant chance that Harry Dresden may die horribly, it would cheer her up enormously and clearly something she wouldn’t want to miss.
As I have have had said previously that Harry gets Mab and Titania to agree on something for the first time since 1066 through both of them being furious with him. Harry acheives his aims his way, not necessarily the Fae way.

The outsider threat is increasing as the stars are getting right. Nemesis is trying to destabilise this reality behind winters lines. The accords are one way of working against that. It is already working with Ethniu, Mab gets allies against her she would not have without the accords. And whether Ethniu is infected or thinks she can use them the outsiders want the accords dissolved, that is the reason Ethniu does not just attack without first getting them together.

Harry is an accredited leader of the Wild Hunt since Cold Days, he could summon them and lead them into battle, especially riding Sue.

Wait, where are you getting that the Erlking isn't on the Accords? He certainly seemed to be from Changes and Cold Days.
