Familiar: Share Spell Question

Okay, I get it that if the spell ends on the wizard, it ends on the familiar.

And I get that it's one or the other no duplication. But they are no considered one and the same. So, if I use M's lubrication Me and my familar are one and the same for this spell. So If I cast a spell in the past 24 hours the spell is recalled and stored in "YOUR MIND" and if me and my familiar are now the same target, that means I can recall my cast spell, then store it in my familar's mind.

Now, the "The recalled spell is stored in your mind as through prepared in the normal fashion." is the sticking point here. Do I have a 5th level spell stored in my Familar's mind? Furthmore, I suspect it would take up MY spell slot, but I think IT would be the one who could cast it.

Yes, Imbue with spell ability does the exact same thing, but that has a duration, this is an instant, so it lasts forever.

What's wrong with this?

With the "Share Spells" ability you get two choices. 

1.  When you cast the spell on yourself, your familiar can gain the effect of the spell as well.  Here casting the spell produces 2 effects, one for the caster with the caster as the target and the familiar as the target of the other effect.  In this case, you would be able to recall one spell you cast in the last 24 hours, and your familiar would be able to recall one spell it had cast in the last 24 hours. 

2.  When you cast your spell on your familiar, your familiar would be able to recall one spell it had cast in the last 24 hours.  Here casting the spell produces 1 effect that targets the familiar, and the familiar is able to recall one spell it had cast in the last 24 hours.

In either case, the familiar must have cast a spell from it's own mind in order to recall it since the target of each effect is mutually exclusive.

So, how much experience do I get for the peasant?
