Yeah, that backfired on them big time. A lot of viewers (myself included) were also still angry about Juliette's actions from the previous season, and at the very least, a sincere apology to Nick would have been appreciated. But nope: "I'm not Juliette, I'm Eve!" Even in "Where The Wild Things Were," Juliette is trying to project her crimes on a different persona. G & K were either too proud or too stubborn to admit the Eve concept was a flop, so they stuck with it to the bitter end. That's why Nick diligently went along with Juliette's bullshit. The characters can only do what the writers tell them to do.
Someone in the writing room really should have worked up the courage to tell G & K why the idea simply didn't work. Then again, maybe they were too jittery about losing their jobs.
