She was forced to walk the plank after she became a hexenbiest through no fault of her own, and she's moving forward in her life, such as it is.We don't get to choose our concepts. The writers decided what we see. we don't get to change what happens. What we would like to see is not part of the story line The writers are not part of the plot. They make the plot. They are external. If they make a bad judgement in the real world and it carries to the plot. It's still the plot.

Ok, we both agree she had a death wish. I base that death wish on the knowledge and guilt she had on what she did. What do you base it on?

In all my post I have always referred to Adalind as a bigger slut than Juliette ever was. I did distinguish how they used their sluttiness. Adalind used it as a mercenary hired by the Royals and Sean. Juliette used it as a revenge to Nick.
She could have had sex with any guy in the bar she got arrested. For that matter, anyone in Portland. Why go to those two slime balls. Why go to the two guys pulling the strings that flocked her up a lot more than what Nick did. What does it say about the character of the person we are watching? If I had written Juliette needs to have casual sex to feed her female alpha in her those are the last two guys I would have picked. Again, I don't get that option.
I am sure in your mind and in my mind we would have done the betray response to Nick different. But we weren't writing the script. The Juliette we see is what we got.

As for mental illness, who can say what is normal. Some are off the deep end and do need to be institutionalized if they cannot live in society. Some can be rehabbed and put back in society and given a chance.

Adalind's hexenbiest abilities didn't bring harsh judgment down on her but Juliete's did and I can't explain that at all.It is very easy to explain. That's the character we were given. Many here agree the writers screwed up. Case in point. They should have written Nick more in the lines of one of the Supernatural Series hunters.
Juliette is what they gave us. A nice gal turned evil then turned robotic-like then? IDK
Adalind was a bad evil whore that was conquered by motherhood and turned good. I don't like it. You don't like it. But it's what we got.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
