We've yet to see what's in store for us in future episodes, but I'm concerned that Eve is a device for the writers to dodge Juliette's responsibility for her crimes in season four, especially Kelly's murder.
I just personally feel this whole "Eve" thing was the exact wrong direction to take Juliette after everything she's done. Maybe the writers felt they needed a different - although not necessarily original - angle to bring the character back. No one wanted to see another season of Juliette acting like a vile harpy (unless they wanted their audience to be continually depressed and pissed off). But apparently they also thought a redemption arc was too obvious.
So, what do they do? Turn to another, successful television show for "inspiration." In this case, ALIAS, with some of the Bionic Woman sprinkled in for good measure.
IMO, this only further alienates fans and audiences from Juliette's character, most of whom are divided down the middle: One party feels she should be redeemed for her actions, and another feels she should have been left to rot. By attempting a more "clever" approach, they've only succeeded at irritating everyone.
