Okayyy... help me out here, since I cannot find a direct comparison or similar: You can steal a set-up? *blinks in shock*. Did she lift other elements - like descriptions or similar? Or simply the "love scene in a pool of water" element? Because if it is only the latter, then it would shock me dearly, because everyone suddenly would have to give sources for every idea possibly taken from another work of fiction, and with an area as wide as "love scene in a pool of water", that would suddenly lead to the crediting of things like "car chase on a highway" or "old scientist gives hero some electronical weapons and tools".
Don't get me wrong; plagiarism is unacceptable. But did she really lift just the idea? Or more?
