I'ts been almost three years, and I'm STILL not over what G&K ultimately did to Juliette. You have to stand back and study her arcs throughout season 4, 5 & 6 just to see how morally reprehensible it really is.
S4: Juliette turns into Hexenbiest. Juliette becomes extremely powerful. Power turns Juliette into an uberbitch. Juliette commits unforgivable crimes and has to be put down like a sick animal.
S5: Juliette is beaten up inside a cell by a creep who hides his blatant sadism behind a mask of practicality. Said beating results in Juliette becoming "Eve," a "stronger woman" who's in "full control" of her emotions, i.e. they won't run rampant to destroy everyone around her. Basically, it took a man to slap a leash on Juliette for her to become a good guy again. Juliette is absolved of all her crimes by adapting identity of Eve. Everybody is (ultimately) okay with this, including the writers working under G&K's reign of amoral incompetence.
S6: "Julieve" is mostly reduced to sniffing around a tunnel for most of the season until she goes on a detour with Nick, in which she blabs a monologue SUPPOSEDLY meant to resolve any lingering conflict, only to rip open old wounds by refusing to face accountability for her crimes for the umpteenth time.
As far as I'm concerned, the REAL continuity came to a halt at the end of TRIAL BY FIRE. The actual story unfolded elsewhere. We'll just never get to see it. Everything we saw on the television took place in an evil alternate timeline conceived by lazy, indifferent hacks who didn't care about the misery and trauma they were inflicting on characters whom the audience had the misfortune of liking.
