Some observations on a Winter Day
Conspiracy Theorist:
They could come and go, but unless the doors were unchained they were stuck. Thomas could enter/egress the Never Never through strip clubs, Darby Crane could likely do the same in Pell’s Theatre just like the Fetches, but not be affected by the iron. He would know this was an access point he could use.

Given that Madrigal was meant to die that seems a stretch.

He didn’t know that. Splattercon was being manipulated by a couple of elements within the Winter Court, Mab and Maeves people. Molly got on Mab’s radar opening options for replacement of Marve, and Mab was still after Harry as Winter Knight, Molly as potential leverage.
Maeve was looking to facilitate the Black Council in their attempt to retrieve Lea/scout the backdoor to Demonreach. Darby was a stalking horse, cover for Maeve. The Black Council at this point already had their hooks into in the White Court and used them mercilessly.

My speculation is that Madrigal was a big ugly brass door knocker whose purpose was to get the WC back to Chicago. Harry was meant to kill him. They almost fight in the hotel the first time they meet.
Given the events of Turn Coat it would be a good guess to say that Peabody(Black Council) was the source of the idea to have the first trial in Chicago. Harry had a violent reaction to the killing of the warlock. Now imagine Molly being dragged in with no warning. This is what I suspect the plan was. Harry then dies at the hands of the Senior Council, but maybe gets lucky before that and takes out the Merlin before dying. It's how I would construct the plot.
Uriel has to be involved in the plot. Michael is moved out of Chicago. Why? Because he can't save his daughter since she has done Black Magic. Harry can, if he has the time. The plot is designed to give him the time. This is point out in the narrative by Rashid's actions at the second trial.
Conspiracy Theorist:
But Michael is back in time to save his daughter and with the baby Wardens and Eb in tow, definitely Uriel’s work.
If the Black Council had a rogue Denarian on it then they would have known Molly was Michaels daughter, so the Molly plot was aimed both at Harry and Michael, remove the longest serving Knight from the board together with the pain in ass wizard from Chicago in one go.
We only see Harry’s adventures, it’s is likely Michael had himself previously been a considerable thorn in the Black Council’s side. Could Siriothrax have been Black Council? His death an earlier attempt to corrupt a sword? Ruined by Michael and Charity falling in love? Inviting Ferro to the party in Grave Peril in the anticipation Harry would bring Michael could have been an earlier attempt to take out Michael. They had the Sword at that point. Michael however struck exactly the right note with Ferro destroying that plot.
