The truth about Harry and Thomas comes out?

Thomas is still guilty, but the charges and punishment are reduced. The Swartalves may also agree to it politically, because Thomas was able to get in there in the first place is because he was having sex with their President's sister. Remember even though Harry was living there in Molly's apartment he still had to jump through all kinds of hoops for security, but Thomas didn't. Admitting that they were lax as far as Thomas was concerned resulting in disaster would be an embarrassment and an admission of a security failure based on preferred treatment because of Thomas's relationship with their President's sister.

Politically because of Mab and Molly. Mab wants to keep good relations with both the svartalves and the white court and I think the svartalves helping him to get his lab back is encouraging.

Yes, I'd agree, but don't underestimate them not revealing to the world that in the case of Thomas the looked the other way when he came to have sex and as a result were blindsided when he attacked.

I didn't actually want to talk about the Swartalves, but everyone else did so I'll jump in. When I wrote the Thomas would "balance the scales" I meant just that. I don't believe that Thomas' problem with the Swartalves will be solved by proving that Nemesis coerced him. I suspect that Thomas will do something overt that squares his debt with the Swartalves.
It might be something dramatic like Errol Flynn playing Robin Hood or Captain Blood. Captain Blood is better. Thomas comes off better as a pirate than a merry man. Thomas saves Mr. Etri's life or the life of a family member or several Swartalves. I'm not saying Thomas will appear as a KotC, though I suppose that could happen too. However it happens, Thomas will do something that literally balances the scales in the Swartalves eyes. If she's around, Mab may be impressed as well; setting up, or at least suggesting, Thomas as the next Winter Knight.

Thomas went to Demonreach for some purpose. I have no idea what for. It could be a way of keeping him alive in case he is needed or it could be a way of freeing him from his demon. Or it could be a way on introducing the unknown prisoner with the faux accent.
vincentric:
I think Thomas will be needed if and when we see Papa Raith pass on. He can be set up as the leader of the White Court, returning after his masterplan with Harry and Lara reaches completion(At least that's how Jim will pass off one of Harry's messes and possibly as soon as Next Book).
