But am hoping that whenever the talked about big fight between them next ep happens, that that's the end of it. We already had them all try to fix her last season, and the rest of the gang said they are done trying to help her. And we already watched nick trying to get her back in season 2. So I'm hoping they accept and go forward with who she is now.
I just think that's bit of a dead-end for the character. Since the beginning of the show, Nick and Juliette have been repeatedly sold to us as being star-crossed, despite the writers' best efforts to tear them apart. It's like Peter Parker and Mary Kane Watson, in some ways: Marvel did almost everything it could to drive Mary away from Peter, but they were "locked" as a couple from day one.
Here's what I believe happened: The writers took the negative feedback about Juliette's character to heart, and decided to do something about it. Unfortunately, that something was "let's switch Juliette with Adalind." This idea blew up in their faces for a number of reasons, one of them being the decision to voluntarily ignore everything that occurred between Nick and Adalind up to that point. Then Juliette turned into an uberbitch, relationships were wrecked, the show went off the rails, and the rest, as they say, is history.
IMO, that's why the ratings took a big hit. They were trying to channel the style of similarly "dark" shows like GAME OF THRONES (which is evident in David Guintoli's interviews leading up to the season four finale), and it just did not work.
