Not much to add to this - it's really a very good summary of the situation, I think. I especially like your read of the 2 of Pents ("harmonious change" )
I'd also be inclined to read a few more things in this spread, branching further than just EDs, as I think that this step in the OOTK lends itself to a full reading rather than a straight analysis of the EDs and single cards. I see a link between the 2 of Pents and the Lovers in their inherent duality, so I'd read that as a fundamental change in Todd's relationships with people, particularly with regards to the way he thinks about himself in relation to other people.
The Tower and Lovers beside one another definitely bespeak a shakeup; I think that it denotes that his current direction of friendship and romantic liason will change for good as he begins to indulge a more creative and less mainstream way of thinking and behaving. This change is supported by the weakened 3 of Wands "Lord of Virtue", a very male card, here shown as being dampened by Todd's venture into the watery world of his own inspiration.
That card in particular would make me wonder if Todd had repressed homosexual tendencies which might be emerging. But I'd likely not say anything unless/until it was reinforced by the next steps.
