Battle Ground Casualties [Peace Talks Spoilers]
Conspiracy Theorist:
Yes, but who is Harry going to bring back with him in Mirror, Mirror?
I wonder I’d we are going to see Harry make a choice between a vampire version of Susan or a version of Murphy who doesn’t love him?
Of course Jim will take the fork which causes Harry the most anguish. Which casualty in his life might he bring back? They would have to alive post Grave Peril, so not his mother, father, Carmichael or Kim Delaney. Will it be an old character like Kirby (poor Butters), or one or more of the freshly dead?

If he follows the laws of time travel, or at least any I've seen or read, he won't bring anyone back. Because if he does, it will alter the now and the future. "The moving finger has written.." Time is a river, you cannot put your finger in the same place twice.
KurtinStGeorge:
Harry wouldn't bring back a Red Court vampire. Yes, in this case it's Susan, but she really wouldn't be Susan any longer. Plus, Harry would know what lay beneath the "new" Susan's exterior looks.
This idea does make me wonder, what if Susan from escaped Bianca on her own and then joined the Order of St. Giles? So she wouldn't have fully turned and would be fighting the alt-Red Court and totally hate alt-Harry. I'm thinking that if this alt-Susan came to regular Harry's world she would always be a threat to be turned and restart the Red Court, but even if crossing over to Harry's world somehow cured her, that would mean giving up the fight against the Red Court in the Mirror Mirror world. Making the decision to stay and fight the alt-Red Court would also tear Harry up. It would be like losing Susan a second time.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry could always bring her over and put her next to Thomas creating a vampire recovery wing. He knows however now there is a cure, the Mothers unravelling, he could swap it for something of equal value, such as the Black Staff. Alternatively the Grail might cure her (once he has got it back from Nicky) it is a purifier, and should be able to cleanse the taint, although I suspect only a virgin could use it. If only Harry knew a powerful virgin wizard.
Harry now has more options, than he used to have.
Mira:
First of all I don't think he can just bring someone from the other time line back with him. It screws up both timelines. If he starts messing with Susan, little Maggie may never have happened. There are all kinds of unintended consequences, that is why one of the Seven Laws is against it.
