Did anyone else consider the symmetry in Harry sacrificing Susan and Nico sacrificing Deirdre. Of course it is not the same, but it is not so different either. If Nico and Deirdre believe they are saving the world from something and the only way to do it is by getting the artifacts.
Harry/Susan displayed the normal case of the parent sacrificing for the child. Nico/Deidre was a perversion where the child sacrificed for the parent.
Yeah, he was afraid she'd eat him.. I agree they weren't sixteen, but do not underestimate the power of the vamp venom... Fear of being killed trumps responsible birth control I think, so rope over condom.. No excuses though I agree, but age had nothing to do with it, lots of "adults" turn up pregnant. I doubt that either one of them even thought of the possibility that she might get pregnant, it wasn't their first sexual encounter after all.. So either they were very lucky before she was half turned and went away, or at least one of them was being responsible..
Susan was probably on birth control and Harry never stopped to think about the fact that she might not be any more.
For that matter, she could have been on birth control. According to WebMD, perfect use of birth control is only 99.7% effective, so 3 in 1,000 people will still get pregnant. Typical use failure rate increases to 9% because of factors like skipping a day, vomiting before it is fully absorbed, not taking it at the same time every day, and taking some other medication that interferes with it. Maybe being a half-vamp is one of those factors that interferes.

People can think whatever they like, it doesn't make them right.
TWG is the Enemy. If we assume Lucifer and Nic have vaguely aligned goals (as shown by Lucifer aiding Nic in his attempt to grab the Archive) then Lucifer is, per Jim, doing something like playing a game of chess against TWG. You gotta play the game to win it. Nemesis wants to metaphorically toss the board and scatter the pieces. And thus, while Nic/Lucifer may oppose Nemesis, the enemy is TWG.
When does Harry reveal to Nicodemus that there is a traitor within the ranks of Denarians? I believe it is after the attempt on Ivy, right?
There you have it. Deidre is doomed to hell, but dying in hades condemns her to hell with Hades rather than hell with Lucifer. Why does she need to avoid Lucifer? Because Lucifer is infected by the Enemy.
