Though that does torpedo my theory that Nemesis can't possess mortal humans.

that might be the plot hole... Leah took Susan's memory so as to aquire her love for Harry thinking love would protect her. I assume since it was foreign, and love for Harry the changer/starborn that it opened her for Nemesis through the knife when she thought it would protect her... Now we have a couple that we KNOW had true love for each other and one of them is Nfected... That's fishy..
Dina:
I suspect Fidelacchius will be instrumental to remove Nemesis, at least from the baby.
The problem I see is: Is the baby useful for Nemesis now? Perhaps as a host, and protection to herself while she is carrying. So perhaps (hopefully) they are safe now. But what after the baby is born? Will he or she be useful for Nemesis or will it try to kill him/her? Because that will happen before the year until the wedding and all that.
Also, having Nemesis perhaps compete with the Hunger parasite? Thus helping Justine to conceive?
Lastly, we have seen in a short story that a Lamia is susceptible to Thomas power while inhabiting a human body, so...will Justine/Nemesis being susceptible to a full attack by Lara?
Agree about the corner hounds.
The_Sibelis:
Oof, you just gave me an idea... What if Nemesis isn't Nfecting Justine directly, but getting inside her defenses by possessing the babe..? Their life energies are pretty much melded from the sounds of PTs dialogue..

Maybe not, if the true love protection is strictly a White Court thing, it wouldn't matter if the host is infested with Nemeses or not. Since the host is only protected from being fed upon by another White Court vampire.

see the whole Lea thinking she could take on that which stalked us all by being in love idea touched on above. It's been implied she thought she could use love for Harry to gainsay Nemesis. Indeed, the kiss on Thomas's neck was supposed to be the litmus test for that, which she had passed.
