    I was rereading Changes today while in Jury Duty (ended up not getting picked) but I realized that when Dresden becomes the Winter Knight, Mab did not mention anything about the third favour.

    Several times Mab has offered to forgive the debt if Harry became the Winter Knight, but he refused. This time he came to her and accepted the Winter Knight Mantle for the ability to rescue his daughter.

    So what happens to his debt to Mab? He still owes her one favour.

    Well, since now he's her.. uh... let us say 'vassal', favors don't matter much. She'll probably save it till either he's no longer the Knight, or she needs some extra leverage.

    Considering that Dresden agreed to the terms of the original "Become the Knight, lose the favors" deal, even if he didn't accept the deal, there's definitely grounds for him to talk his way out of that last favor. Whether or not he will remains to be seen, but he could definitely make the argument that Mab proposed the deal, and he fulfilled it, if later than she would have preferred, and so that last favor is now null and void.

    Without a favour owed, Mab has no direct conduit to Dresden. Maybe the Winter knight deal provides that, I don't know.
    If not, then she'll probably keep that favour resting for as long as possible.

    The answer is a simple If/Then:

    If the owed favor had been nullified by the deal, Then that would be good for Harry.

    Therefore, it has not been.

    Yeah, Jim's cruel like that.
    Thus, fat chance for Harry to get a free pass.
