All changes, however, when he meets Lola, his mother?s companion, whose characteristics are that she is Spanish, fiery in temperament, and a lesbian. They will eventually wind up in bed, but the situation is complicated when Lola announces she is pregnant and that she intends to have the baby, thus positioning Hlylnur in the Oedipian situation as future father of a child from his mother.
