do you have any idea how many theories on this board could be described this way?
including some of mine...

Bad stupid theory tying unrelated phenomenon together in a silly conspiracy that makes no practical sense.

Two Winter Lady's killed. Mab "doing what she thought best" for Leah according to Jim which sounds a little ominous to me... What may appear moronic might be the exact opposite if you knew the long game. If Jim is writing it right it's much more like chess than checkers. Those who were openly infected may have been so purposely while covert agents don't appear infected at all.

Taking what happened to Cat Sith into account, it does seem like Nemesis can take as much or possibly as little control as it needs to over someone. This is kind of like Peabody and his mind control ink, leaving the White Council wondering just how much of their actions were their own or were subtly being influenced by Peabody.

Q,
I've been thinking about this and I'm having a hard time buying the effects of black magic being a form of Nemfection.
I get it that using black magic can drive someone ... off center (like the Korean kid in PG), but that could be something similar to going crazy from a syphilis infection.
We know Nemesis is an outsider with an intelligence and a purpose. We know that Nemesis can vary the amount of control it exerts over one it has infected. We don't know if it takes a volunteer to be an Aurora or Maeve type of infection, or if it's really more like a Cat-Sith infection, and is only masked.
We saw the Leansidhe fighting it, but we don't know how much influence it had before she realized her error and asked for help.
I'm thinking Nemesis is an infection and has a scale of control from Aurora (barely whispering in her hear), through Maeve (probably talking like Lash did), to total full on possession like Cat-sith.
I just don't see it as a general virus like Syphilis.
