Then, viewers could have witnessed over the first 6 episodes that while:
Nick grieves over Juliette & his Mother, and Adalind grieves over losing her daughter yet again, and Nick & Adalind deal with the birth of their son & tentatively transition from hated enemies to allies with a common goal, Juliette, who was secreted away to some government compound, is being systematically & forcefully molded into a super weapon by Meisner/HW.
Assuming each episode of season 5 spans 72 hours, this would allow viewers to compare & consider the similarities & differences between the three character evolutions and watch Juliette transition into Eve over a course of 18 days or so. Personally, I would prefer for Nick to become aware of Juliette/Eve later in the season so that Nick, Adalind & Juliette/Eve were more entrenched in their new ‘roles’.
I’d much rather have seen the Eve plotline evolve.
Juliette giving up a little more of her former self/life each day until she gives up completely and lets Eve take over, partly because she can’t continue to fight against Meisner & a supposed Hexenbiest-proof cell and partly because it’s easier to let go of emotions that remind her of so much heartache.
It's depressing how much more effective this scenario sounds than what we actually got. Storytellers are sacrificing too damn much these days in order to "surprise" their audience (and the particular "surprise" in this case was more annoying than shocking).
