We Now Know What/Who Mac Is

Harry doesn’t mention Ethnui’s name, merely a Titan leading an army of Fomor, if Mac is also MacKineally, it could be especially awkward if Ethnui attacks the pub.

Killing a former lover? What is so unusual about that? ::) But honestly, since Mac seemed to be clued in on a whole lot of things, most likely he already knows who the Titan is.
Bad Alias:
Especially if he has a broad "divine intellectus" and thought about it.
Conspiracy Theorist:
He couldn’t be more in it if he tried,
I suspect there are quite a few things about his past, Mac deliberately refrains from thinking about, like Harry does Shagnasty. It does make me wonder how much Harry has deduced about Mac.
We keep getting reminded of Lara’s third favour from Mab, what if for Harry to survive to have the strength to take down Ethnui and survive he needs his True Love? Lara might use that last favour for Mab to heal Murphy, no Faustian pact, but Murphy once again at her physical peak and Harry able to retrieve Thomas. It explains the Motorbike scene and the Rocket Launcher scheme, a healed Murphy.

That could work, but it doesn't account for the tears at Christmas. Yeah, I know Harry has a guilt complex, but this strikes me as mourning. Thomas could either be dead or because he was really guilty of what he is accused of, must remain on Demonreach. That could account for some of it, but where is his true love? I don't buy that Michael and Charity are so narrow minded that Murphy wouldn't be welcome as an over night guest on Christmas Eve give how her and Harry feel about one another. Nor do I buy that Murphy would rather be with her relatives than her true love, or some twisted idea that because of little Maggie she stayed at home. I think it is significant that the scene where Harry leaves her behind at Mac's place to her objections is a replay of what he wanted her to do in Peace Talks, she objected that time as well. I like Harry's comment about her being an adult, because her reaction was a bit childish.. I still think she is going to bail Mac's place, and will be killed.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Obviously Murphy is immediately killed by the giant she just killed with the rocket launcher falling on her. Her last words “totally worth it”.
You don’t think Jim wouldn’t miraculously heal Murphy only to immediately kill her off? That way Jim gets to annoy both the Murphyphiles AND the Murphyphobes in the space of a couple of chapters, AND totally put Harry through the wringer.
