In the Dragoncon Q&A Jim told us we are going to learn more of Thomas motivation for the attack on the Swarteleves. He wasn’t in a position to so going into stasis, ergo he is going to be brought out and healed (my way have Molly on standby, he has tried twice to feed on her, third times the charm, but now she is immortal he can feed, and feed and feed, intense life force without killing her and paying off the rest of Lara’s markers with Mab or building up a big favour in return. Again foreshadowing, Thomas was always going to feed on Molly, and she was always going to let him.
Thomas can then track down Justine whilst she is unaware he is active, and Harry’s needs to rid her of nemesis. Aside from an unravelling, Harry has both the Shroud AND soulfire both known for resurrection. If nemesis makes good it’s threat to kill Justine and the baby he has potentially the means to reverse that, which may clear Justine of Nemesis and the Baby of its infant demon, giving an avenue for curing Thomas.
This way Harry would still retain a huge favour from Mother Winter, and break another Law of Magic (Gotta get em all), a favour from Mother Winter is absolutely nothing to be sneezed at, perhaps release of Harry or Molly from Winter servitude? You just know Jim is going to force that choice of Harry at some point, and you know he is going to choose Molly.
Mira:
Finding out what Thomas's motivation was, doesn't necessarily follow that he will be healed.

Jim is setting Harry up for an upswing in the second part of the next book, just so he can take it all away from him in Mirror Mirror. To do that would require Thomas to be healed, Nemesis dealt with and Harry to build his economic and political power base in Chicago.
I hesitate to be more specific, I don’t want to give Jim ideas on torturing Harry. He already has plenty.

The idea is to heal him, not have him beaten and clawed the rest of the way to death.

Thomas is story meat kept in a freezer till needed by the exigency of the story. Butters learns magic and gets the Blackstaff. And maybe Granny Winter.
