xakko:
Can anyone think of a lie that Aurora told? I really can't - I just remember Harry thinking how she'd used typical Sidhe wordplay and her magic healing touch to distract him.
Granted, the Adversary may not have been willing to let it be known it was in action, but I was just wondering if someone /else/ might have been infected, someone who Aurora trusted and who talked her down the path that lead to her actions. Elaine is a possibility, but I can't remember if Talos had an on screen death... and I wonder if he might be less trustworthy.
DragonEyes:
Aurora didn't have to get the same change from Nemesis as Maeve. I can't think of a lie Aurora told, but I also think that Aurora wasn't fully aware of Nemesis. I think it drove her mad. Two theories why:
1) Nemesis grows stronger the more hosts he/she/it has.
B) Nemesis uses the least effort necessary to accomplish goals, possibly because the cost of action is somehow high.

Unlikely. It would spread like a nuclear reaction. Earth would have been gone already. I think there is some limit in the number of hosts a single outsider mind can control. There might be even only one mind behind every infection.

The risk of detection also grows with more influence on the victim. Using as little influence as needed is the key. Harry saw easily that Sith was infected because of his unusual behaviour. The infected Sith was also not as good a fighter as the original.

We know Harry will do his damnedest not to act on those impulses. But as Winter Lady, Molly is now in a position to compel Harry to do the "deed" (at least when he's under the influence of Winter). Given how she feels it will be interesting to see how she grapples with having that option.

Or in other words, "Does Molly value Harry's friendship over being able to have sex with him"?
I just hope that she sees what's wrong in raping her family's friend.
