Why didn’t Harry just tell Eb Thomas is also his Grandson?

When i said he knew who his mother was, I do not mean he only knew which woman in the Court was his mother. I mean he knew she was Margaret Le Fay, AKA Margaret McCoy, daughter of Ebenezar.

I think it is safe to assume that the White Court consider monogamy to be a tropical hardwood. We know Whamps are largely infertile and so spread it around, so during the period Raith was with Margaret he likely had hundreds if not thousands of sexual partners any of whom could have been Thomas mother. It may have been been a 1000 to 1 chance or greater that Thomas Mother was Margaret.

From the sound of it, she must have been favored, if not a wife, to get to invite her father to dinner with Raith. That's not a hookup. So if she is a person of status, affiliated with Raith, SHE is not likely to be sleeping around. So they know who is the baby daddy. Raith did, Lara did... Margaret is taken, and the court will know it. If the White king's Consort is pregnant - I'd imagine the WC knows, or they have REALLY bad intel.

I'm fairly sure that Thomas knew that Eb was his grandfather as of Changes. Harry explains the Bloodline curse to him in detail and I think it comes up. Would have to check the book to be certain though.

Mira,
--- Quote ---But then again in Changes, the bloodline curse, Thomas had to know, he isn't stupid.

The bloodline curse affecting Thomas is explained by its activating via Maggie, to Harry, to Thomas. It barely occured to
Harry that Eb was among the targets until after everything had blown over. We simply don’t know if Harry said something to Thomas (Harry was avoiding Thomas please recall) or if Thomas figured it out for himself.

Just re read Changes a couple of weeks ago. Harry never mentions Eb in the discussion of the Bloodline curse.
