And that's the nitty gritty of  what I am talking about.. Where is the plan, what is the plan?

The plan is to win, to stop the Outsiders from breaching the Outer Gates and destroying our reality. To that end, Mab is forming whatever alliances she can, making webs of contingency plans, recruiting and training any potentially useful agents she finds and maintaining a diligent watch for any Outsider activity, whether direct or through agents.

Given the scope of what Mab has going and overriding need for security, she has to keep her plans secret until action time. And the world can still throw her curveballs like Ethniu. Jim can't possibly do anything but to spell out all of Mab's plans in detail without doubling the page count with boring exposition. And she's not the narrator, so we be treated to chapter after chapter of Mab explaining things which is totally out of her character.

As far as Harry being WK, He got the job in Changes and took his side quest in GS. The four books since have been Harry doing WK jobs.

Mab doesn't think Molly is ready to be Queen, but is happy with her as the Lady.

Harry used the Placard and the Knife to good effect in BG. Maybe he'll use the Shroud next, perhaps to cure Thomas?

Since Changes, Thomas has fought his trauma from the Nagloshii, dealt with the grief of Harry's death by himself, become a potential father, been blackmailed by his possessed true love/child's mother into attempting to assassinate the leader of an Accorded Nation and imprisoned in supernatural Alcatraz. His life has been almost as eventful as Harry's.

We've got 8 or 9 books left, if we didn't have dangling plotlines to resolve, we be getting all new issues without the built-up investment to hold our interest. There's plenty of time.

That seems more like something the Archive would do; I think the magic-knowledge there (everything ever written down about magic) is probably the most comprehensive in the world; though it's very possible that an Immortal being (like Thorned Namshiel) may know a bunch of stuff that never got written down.

But Harry is too ignorant of magic:  he's got more than a century of serious study before the senior wizards will take his knowledge-level seriously... and he doesn't have time to learn, before the BAT.

I wasn't thinking of it as a teaching role but more of police function or even a position similar to Mab's but covering magic. Harry would get a limited Intellectus to warn him of major magical threats and events and have the newly formed Wardens as enforcers and the Paranet as the administrative and education arms of his new council/court.

Harry trades a favor to Lea for straightforward testimony at trial after many shenanigans from both sides. Justin is exposed and flees or is executed. Ramirez takes Elaine as his apprentice under the Doom of Damocles.

You don't get to be the best without some practical experience. You can train to a very high level, but you still want some actual on the job training.  Listen is in the field just like Harry, because they need to be used to these types of situations or they won't be ready at the ultimate moment.

Poor Harry, he never has been into casual sex, and steady ladies have been few and far between, so few outlets..  After Susan left him I think he went about five years protected until Luccio came along, that was short lived.. Come to think of it the time period that he actually had sex with Murphy was only a few months at most before she died.

More a couple of days actually. Their first hookup and only was in PT and she was dead in BG. They were going to get together after Changes, but Harry caught a case of dead.

Whether Thomas faces further punishment upon being cured and released from Demonreach is dependent on how clued in the Swartalves are about Nemesis.

If they're in the know, he may be let off by paying weregild. If not, then it will take significantly more to appease them. At the extreme and short of death, they may insist on Thomas's child being raised by them (Assuming said child can be saved and is free of Nemesis taint.)

If i had to guess, I'd say that she can travel on ley lines.

50%! It' all downhill from there hopefully.
