As far as "blame" goes, I always figured that Juliette started to lose her mind the moment she realized that the hexenbiest couldn't be undone. And here in Oregon we do a particularly lousy job of dealing with people suffering from mental illness.
It would be that simple if she did not follow up the torching with the phone call to Nick and then showing up at her old abode to send the email. Unless you think it was all conceived on the fly? But then there is that whole conversation she had with Ken, before she went out to burn it down. Do you recall this conversation?
Scene: Juliette meets with Kenneth in his hotel room.
[Kenneth offers Juliette a glass of wine]
Juliette: He actually told me to leave her alone. After what she's done to us...
Kenneth: Well, now that he's going to be a father, his protective urges have shifted.
Juliette: What's in it for me?
Kenneth: A whole new life with a family that values what you are and what you can do. This isn't about one city or one country. This is about everything. And not to mention, the family's very generous. You can have anything you want. So will you be a pawn, or will you be a queen? It's up to you.
Juliette: What do you want me to do?
Kenneth: Nick must have some way of communicating with his mother, yes?
Juliette: Yeah.
Kenneth: Wouldn't it be wonderful if Nick was in mortal danger and needed Mummy's help? I do hope she's the heroic type.
The next time we see Juliette is in the trailer staring the fire. Now I know I am just a simple minded transplanted New Yorker living in the backwoods of PA but even me, a bonafide Juliette hater ca n see, she was smart enough to come up with a simple plan. I will ask the question again. Why burn the trailer down now? What did the burning trailer offer to get Kelly back to Portland, except to get nick out of the house?
Here is the problem with some of her supporters. They refuse to admit, she was being played. I admit, she wasn't stupid, at the same time, she wasn't the sharpest pencil in the box.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
