Quote: Eve never expressed that she used to be Juliette but changed her name when deciding to start fresh with a new life.in 5x07 the transcript says.
Eve: My name isn't Juliette.
Nick: What am I supposed to call you?
Eve: They call me Eve.
Nick: Why Eve?
Eve: Because I'm starting over.
Quote:Eve absolutely expressed she was not Juliette when telling Nick he was talking about Juliette and telling him she regretted he didn’t get to bury Juliette.in 5x08 the transcript says
Nick: Do you feel remorse for anything you've done?
Eve: You mean what she did.
Nick: What you did.
Eve: You still think you're talking to Juliette.
Nick: I don't know who I'm talking to.
Eve: Yes, you do. You just won't accept it.
Nick: Maybe I can't.
Eve: If we're gonna work together, you have to stop living in your past.
The last line is the key. It states seeing her as Juliette is living in the past.
The last line make the fist line a metaphor. Especially when combined with how she identified herself in 5x07
Like she says she remembers everything. She is not denying she did it. But those things where done before her makeover.
So many want to see this as denial. But if you read all of her statements. She has no regret for what she did. She has regret for how it made Nick feel. Even the books she says I may have went a little overboard. But then goes on to tell why she did it.
I am sure people will try and find a different interpretation. But she said what she said and I take the writers at face value. Which is not the same as having to take the statements literally. If they meant for her change from Juliette to Eve to be a literal statement they would not make the point that she remembers everything. Even her statement that it is dangerous to go there when Trubel asked about what Juliette would do. Shows she is aware of her past.
