Maybe because Basil was in the sky and landing on a roof and not entering a door or window it isn't technically a threshold? 

There is a problem with that though, and it's an inconsistency in the series.  Remember back in Blood Rites when Eb said he tried to kill Lord Raith and couldn't?  This was Blackstaff talking right?  Margaret was able to block Raith's feeding with her death curse, but she couldn't kill him with it.  Harry sensed the cold emptiness inside Lord Raith, he wanted very badly to kill him, but didn't try it because of what Eb had told him.. Fast forward to 12 Months and Eb tells Harry in effect that he chose not to kill Lord Raith? The point I am making is if the general knowlege was that Lord Raith couldn't be killed, that wouldn't satisfy Etri.  Plus, even at this point, though most know better, Lara is still the power behind the throne not the head of the White Court, and if Lord Raith was handed over, that would blow the court up politically and destabilize things more.

He did try, but his options were limited, his political power is limited, or was.   He did come up with a solution, getting that boon from Mab.

I doubt that, she had negotiated it with Etri ahead of time.  Because if it was last minute as you say, there was no gararantee that Etri would have accepted those terms.  She didn't set the price, Etri did.

I am not sure of what you are trying to say here.  1] Would the child even have been born? Did the Outsider want it to be born?  Remember the mid-wife in this case was actually Mother Summer, was that necessary?  If it was a normal birth, there were several people on sight that could have assisted.  The fact that Justine was still possessed by the Outsider meant that it took someone like Mother Summer to assist and keep the child safe during the birthing process.2] Yes, if there was no negotiated  settlement, Thomas surely would have been killed. 3] Why would Harry and Lara fight over the baby?  They are still on track to marry if Mab gets her way, and she usually does, they would just be foster parents.. 

The continuity here definitely bothered me, but I can see how it can be argued that she was playing Harry.

The main problem I had was that the soul gaze itself was a bit anticlimactic. The description of it was cool, but it seemed like in this Soul Gaze they both shared the same vision? Or maybe I misread it. And then it seemed like she didn't really have that much of a reaction (unless I totally missed it).

I was expecting a payoff from him saying bad A his previous reactions had been.

  I don't think of a favorite either;
Grave Peril
Dead Beat
Small Favor
Summer Knight
Turn Coat

Interesting, while RobReece did list Battle Ground, so far everyone have listed books pre-Changes, though some did include Changes.  Small sample to be sure, but I wonder if that says anything about either the writing, the setting for, or the stories post-Changes?

My knowledge of the New Testament is limited, but I also remember that Nicodemus was the man who helped to take down Jesus from the Cross, I also think it was his tomb that they placed the body of Jesus in, but I could be wrong about that part. 

As for the  Pharisee who I believe was also rich who asked Jesus how to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?  Was answered I think with the famous "eye of a needle" quote.  Now it is possible that that was Nic, who got very upset about that and somewhere along the line became buds with Judas.  Nic's noose has never been explained, we all know about the most famous noose in history, the one that hung Judas.  So we keep on coming back to this point in history, also Judas was paid with thirty pieces of silver, there are thirty Denarians each trapped in presumedly one of those coins.

Since she is dead, why would she need a health plan?
