Question about the future

I don't really know if this question belongs here, but I'll ask it anyway and If I'm wrong I'm sorry.

In the end of SR Thursday mentions Friday's wife. She says she is currently some one year old girl. Isn't Spike's daughter one year old? I was just wondering if mabey it's her?

Could be. She's the only 1 year old we know of, so could be!

Hmmmm... Now why didn't I think of that.....

How else would Thursday know that Fri's wife is a one year old somewhere...I mean, she could realistically be any age under three or four and still look the same age she is when Thurs/Gran sees her....

Just wondering...

Greetings, Sci Fi!! Don't believe I've seen you around these parts before...

Best Regards,

I think you're right; it is Spike's daughter. I don't have any proof, but I had a hunch when I read that line, too.
Antonio, I think sci fi's been around for a little while, we just haven't given her a proper greeting yet. So hi, sci fi!

she might take after Spike or Cindy and that's why Thursday recognised her.

Yes.... Uh, no.... Actually......I don't know.... Um, hang on.... What was the question again?

I don't think it is too far fetched to assume that Granny Next knows how old her daughter-in-law is.... or at least when her date of birth was before chrono interference played silly buggers with everyone's timelines.
