Another line of thinking is expressed when Eb and Listens to Wind are talking to Martha Liberty before the meeting too. They imply that Dresden is going to be blamed because he was taught by Dumourne, and Dumourne was taught by Simon. But they dont know about Elaine being an apprentice too, so they never bring up that option. So if Simon really was killed, it could have been Elaine who let the reds in. If however, Simon turns out to be Cowl, then Elaine could be Kumori returning to her master's master to complete her training. Her placement within the Summer Court could also be part of Cowls plans, slowly infecting each group from the inside. She appears to defect from Aurora to help Harry, then again she is part of the group of dying women in WN, but Cowl is working against the White Court so it makes sense for her to be on the inside there too "helping" Harry until the Skavis targeted her. She is too banged up to help Cowl at the White Court coup, but gets immediately put on the inside of the Paranet when it is created. So if she is working for Cowl/Simon, she is going to be in that same position in the future when she will be forced to choose sides.
