What does she know, is it Lara calling in the favors owed by the Winter Court? Does she know that Lara might be behind what happened to Thomas in the first place?

Maybe she knows (and doesn't like) whatever the first favour was.
Small detail: We know that Morgan has used his sight in Macs Bar before, sweeping all around, and saw Mac, even if briefly...
“Morgan didn’t let his gaze linger too long near Mac or myself, and then he nodded to himself, and called out, 'Clear.'"
Presumably you'd have to stare at Mac to hurt yourself...
Mira:
Okay, in the chapter Harry said that the Outsiders recognized Mac. I found it in Cold Days, Sharkface called Mac "Watcher." Looking it up, it gets complicated angels and fallen angels, but I found this on Wikipedia and it makes sense that this is who Mac really is.
--- Quote ---Shamsiel, once a guardian of Eden as stated in the Zohar, served as one of the two chief aides to the archangel Uriel (the other aide being Hasdiel) when Uriel bore his standard into battle, and is the head of 365 legions of angels and also crowns prayers, accompanying them to the 5th heaven. In Jubilees, he is referred to as one of the Watchers. He is a fallen angel who teaches the signs of the sun.

What caught my eye is the connection to Uriel. Also if Mac is a fallen angel, it would explain that would explain a lot about him.

Or Morgan knew better than to look at either Harry or Mac, he gazed near not at either one of them.
Arjan:
Of course Molly does not like Lara. The white court vampires and the woman who can not have sex at all. :D

Perhaps word of the glamour got to Molls

Intellectus (of more than just Demonreach or about the written word) is something we have only seen in the Mothers and Archangels. It does explain why Mac doesn’t need to speak, he already knows.
Exactly how much research has Harry done on the objects, when and how? He suddenly has all this knowledge, when ignorance has been his most enduring feature. So the Placard is a super threshold, which puts Macanally’s on par with the Carpenters supernaturally, which is powered by multiple Angels. Does this mean the bar can now withstand the eye of Balor? Is it just the bar, if Mac owns the entire building is that covered as well? That means they still have to defend against purely physical force, which is where Murphy comes in I suppose.
It’s original purpose on the crucifiction would have been to protect Christ on the cross from supernatural intervention, but from who? Christ owned the Cross?
Is that as Harry has the Placard this is how he gets the Castle?it can only be used by someone who owns the building it is part of, so to create the perfect supernatural bomb shelter Harry has to own it. Harry becomes Marcone’s Landlord? Will Harry make Marcon shoevel the paths in Winter, even though as Winter Knight he doesn’t need them shovelled?

Would have been wiser for Harry to use it on Demonreach- he can call on the island's defenses personally.
As to owning the Cross- it was a Jewish cross raised on Jewish land; as King yeah, it'd be his property.
Could have been an Outer Gates attack, if Butcher wants to fudge his 2000 year cycle.
As to the objects: Demonreach seems to have diagnostic capabilities, possibly related to its ability to take on and hold prisoners. Could be that the "armory" is another stasis crystal, just one they sit in passively, allowing Demonreach to "read" them as they enter.
EDIT: I figured Molly is still in mad-love with Harry, and so she's jealous of Lara- either from the illusion, or Harry giving her the elevator eyes.
Murphy is in great danger. She's between Lara and vengeance, and Molly and what she wants- if any mortal is allowed a pass with the Winter Lady's mantle, it's her "husband".
