What I mean is, does anyone remember the episode of Buffy where Faith in Buffy's body slept with Buffy's then boyfriend Riley?

Afterwards Buffy felt betrayed that her boyfriend hadn't been able to see through the deception. And to be fair he did notice her acting a bit different, but seemingly just assumed she was just being in the mood to be more forward for a change.

I think that is quite realistic. Because if your boyfriend/girlfriend is acting differently, you're probably more inclined to write it off as a bizarre mood swing, rather than them being someone else, and probably likely to go along with it just hoping that they'll be more back to their usual self in the morning or whatever.

I do think though, that the longer Ock is in Pete's body, the less likely this should be to occur, given as some have pointed out above his old speech patterns are likely to show up quite often, and after a while MJ would click on to knowing that something was very wrong. But in the above example or the next issue or two, I'm sorry to say that if Ock decides to go through with it, it's likely that MJ would. Because if she's just wanting to believe that she and Pete could get back together, then she'll see what she wants to see, and so she would probably be more inclined to overlook it in the short term, but much less so the longer this goes on..

Urgh! I hate this whole topic. As the whole storyline disgusts me. (Which is annoying because up until this I was really enjoying Slott's Spidey..) But no. I can see how the worst could happen here. But that doesn't mean I want a writer creating the circumstances where it can..
