Poisonous Friend is no longer a trope


* PoisonousFriend: Unusually for the trope, Betelgeuse ''volunteers'' to be this for Lydia in chapter 12. He offers to basically deal with anyone at her request, so that "your sweet little hands will stay clean" but she still has her revenge as needed. She's not enthused, although she sort of appreciates the offer.

Along with her father and stepmother, Lydia Deetz moved from New York City to a large house in New England. It turned out the house used to belong to the Maitlands, a young married couple who died in an unfortunate accident. The Maitlands' ghosts didn’t want to share their house with new occupants, and decided to summon a bio-exorcist - Betelgeuse. But as his methods turned out to be more harmful than anticipated, the Maitlands chose to deal with the Deetzes by themselves. Moreover, they were growing fond of the teenage Lydia. Then, when a friend of Lydia's stepmother somewhat unintentionally started performing an exorcism on the Maitlands, Lydia summoned the mad ghost to save them. To pay the price of this aid, Lydia agreed to marry Betelgeuse. However, in the nick of time, the ceremony was cancelled; Betelgeuse was chased away, and the Maitlands and Deetzes agreed to coexist in harmony. Everything ended well.
