I was rereading Bombshells tonight and a few things struck me. 1] Nobody really wants a treaty with the Fomor, but they won't come out and say it. 2] There was a bomb in Bombshells too, and if Lara did send Thomas in to set if off, she'd deny it totally, as Justine told Molly in Bombshells.. Ergo not a shock that Lara would act clueless when Harry asked her about having anything to do with sending Thomas into the Embassy to assassinate Atri. It also wouldn't be a shock if Atri was in on his own assassination attempt to screw up the peace talks, only this time there was a glitch and someone died. 3] Lea sent Molly in to rescue Thomas supposedly, but what she really wanted was for Molly to clean up the mess.. Which she did, she found the bomb that was planted before anyone got hurt. When she confronted Lea who had tricked her. Lea told her a treaty with the Fomor wasn't in the best interest of the Winter Court either, but Mab couldn't come out and say it.. Not unlike Peace Talks where suddenly before the crap hits the fan Mab shows up in the Monstermobile with Lara ordering him to pay the favors owed the White Court by the Winter Court.. Also in Bombshells
supposedly it was Thomas who was sent in to make the attempt and was caught, thus needed rescue.
