The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Duopoly one if the worst “books” in the series-SPOILERS
Mr. Death:
What the thing says is that it is Nemesis. Then it gives its name. The Walker clearly equates the two, and says that it possessed Justine after she got close to Lara.
Ergo, Justine was not infected until she became close to Lara, and that doesn't happen until well after Blood Rites.

Not well after, at the end of Blood Rites Justine is in a wheel chair having almost died saving Thomas. She becomes Lara's secretary shortly after.. Problem, Harry calls it Nemeses, an Outsider, and a Walker.. We know that a Walker is an Outsider knight, but are Outsiders really Nemeses?

I don't think so. That would not have been necessary. She would have had Harry married to Lara with Murphy still alive. Wouldn't matter to her. Harry would have had to ask her permission to marry anyway and she would have said no to Murphy (assuming Murphy would even have wanted to marry Harry) and told him to choose Lara.

Yes, it gets confusing or Jim confused in that reveal. When Harry discovered that Cat Sith was infested with Nemeses, it was just Nemeses, no mention of Walkers or Outsiders, the same with Leah and Maeve. So without someone who suspects, Nemeses could hang out for a long time undetected. Nobody in the Winter Court, suspected Cat Sith or Maeve for that matter of being infected until it was too late. Now Justine may have gotten the full viral load as they say,and that took place later.

I don't follow the last question.
The Outsider Walker named "He Who Walks Beside" is commonly known as Nemesis. He's a specific Outsider, who specializes in infiltration. I rather think Demonreach was setup to deny him access to hosts he'd otherwise infected, and therefore free to deny their natures.
On the overall topic: Nemesis-infected Maeve told Justine she'd be seeing things Maeve's way soon. This is either recognition of a latent infection, or identification of where Nemesis "jumped," if that is its mechanism, when Maeve died. At that point, a couple of years prior, Justine was an ideal target, close to Lara, etc. I rather think people are looking too far back for Justine's exposure.
