That tells me that it is what the script called for and both the strong and the weak actors were directed to convey it, so they did.
In a story, as in life, there is always the spoken word and then body language. Usually body language is a more accurate guide in communication.
The character Renard could say what he will, but the body language deliberately conveyed by the actor playing his character said something different and consistently throughout the series.
If I were to interpret this in terms of scripting, I would say Renard utter those words to lie to himself as to his real motivations. I don't think at that point he wanted to hurt Nick but he had desires for Juliette, the desires a man has when he wants a woman beyond in just the physical sense: body, mind and soul. So far in the series Renard and Monroe have been the most complex characters.
I'll agree Sean and Juliette had a real chemistry on screen. That being said, however, I saw the chemistry between them as amorous, nothing more. For Renard, that would make sense. He was a prince, he took the potion, kissed the girl, and the pheromones flew. But that was it. If he was really that interested, his next logical step would be to pursue the woman, not for her body, but for her mind and her soul.
I'm not letting Juliette off the hook here either. As an intelligent woman, if she was interested in Renard, she would also look toward pursuing the next logical steps. That would be dumping Nick, booting him out, and making it plain to Renard that she's interested in something more than a fling around the living room. It never happened for either of them and that leads me to believe that they were victims of the spell. That is strange to me because I can understand Renard falling victim. I don't get Juliette.
Unless....Adalind and Catherine had some kind of plan in mind for both Juliette and Renard.
But I digress. Even a few years later when Juliette shows up at Renard's door, the only thing the two of them have in common is a roll in the hay.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
