What clues will we get from Peace Talks?

While I am hoping for epic magic and violence, part of me hopes that Maggie and Harry get to spend some bonding time together.

I think Harry will learn the identity of ONE member of the black council.

I do hope we see NOTHING like the last few episodes of angel, the good guy goes full bore bad guy just to see exactly who is pulling strings, then attacks from within. Great idea, but harry isn't that kind of manipulator. Not to mention the type of crew he has cant be chess pieced into the right place to cause real impact.

That kinda has the ring of Amber, except we finally learn that Chaos isn't so 'BAD.' Still, there seems to be some schemes going on that Merlin as new Leader of Chaos has to learn about.  Author died so we don't know where the series would have gone from there.

The Amber equivalent would be Harry becoming Lord of the Outsiders maybe to find out potentially there is another bad that has corrupted Chaos.  This goes to the question of whether this is a story of Order vs Chaos, or is it a story of Order vs Chaos vs (HORRIBLE), or is it Order + Chaos vs Outsiders

Maybe the Outsiders were once Insiders that HORRIBLE has taken over to use against us in our multiverse.  So, if Harry can take control of these "Outsiders" and use them to turn against HORRIBLE, then he can use Chaos to take out something worse.

It could make sense. Think of Cat Sith. Nemesis just apparently converted him from Fae to Outsider essentially in Cold Days.  If Harry can free these recently turned 'Outsiders' and all of them generally, it would be a great accomplishment.

The real bad guys will never see Harry as a bad guy just a wildcard.

The real bad guys will never see Harry as a bad guy just a wildcard.

Or a Recruit.  Or hell, even potentially their messiah

I'm beginning to think it's more along the lines of them just using Harry to destroy everything.  There is no new order. No universe, no multiverse. Just lovecraftian horrors and the end.

I don't think they want their footmen around.

I dont get me wrong, I dont think his use to them would at all outlive this one little Universe they happen to be attacking at the moment.  But I do think they have high hopes for said usefulness to them.  Something on the order of Opening the Gates, Waking the Sleepers, Killing gods off-Halloween, etc.

[raidem]

Well, I could see them using this multiverse entities against another multiverse down the road.  So the footsoldiers fighting at the OuterGates are simply slaves/captured entities from other multiverses that fail from the assaults by the TRUE OUTSIDERS.

It makes the bad guys even worse, a bigger threat than even we can imagine. 

Think of an Outsider Vadderung, Mab, Mother WInter, Uriel, Lucifer, TWG to be used by the OUTSIDERS against some other multiverse.  I could see that may happen.  It could even may some of the BAD's in our Multiverse, asylum seekers/evacuees from other multiverses seeking shelter in ours since their multiverses were destroyed.

I'm reminded a bit of a book called Anathem
