Justine plot hole [BG spoilers]
SerScot:
Justine trying to con her way onto Demonreach with an outsider in possession of her is a huge plot hole. She’s already been on Demonreach. She was there while the Outsiders assaulted the Island in Cold Days.
If she was already possessed by an outsider (HWHBeside said he’s held her since she started getting close to Lara that goes back to White Night) why didn’t she use her position to sucker punch everyone and release the horrors in the Well? Why wait?
Griffyn612:
Well first, Maeve's comment on Demonreach suggests Justine was of interest to her and Beside, but not that she was already infected.
Second, even if she was, maybe she was laying in wait for Maeve to take down the defenses so she could get in. But then Mab showed up and things went downhill.

If her presence on Demonreach... at all... is a problem as the scene in BG implies then why didn’t she pull the trigger when everyone was locked in combat and Alfred was, if not “neutralized” extremely busy?
HWWBeside said he’s been in possession of Justine since she got close to Lara that’s White Night she fed serious information to Thomas and Harry in Turn Coat. That also puts a very different spin on the scene with Thomas in Ghost Story. She needed Thomas dependent.

Jim has so many threads dangling he's losing track.

That's why I'm saying she wasn't infected at that time. The text suggests otherwise. It makes more sense that she was infected on her mission to Corb's domain pre-Even Hand. Maybe they infected her and faked the escape, or maybe she was infected without her knowing in the process of a successful mission.
