Telling Juliette he was Grimm after the cat scratch was too soon for her. Even though she asked to be told she couldn't accept the answer. After she experienced the Renard obsession on herself, she was ready now to listen to Nick's explanation. Her mind has changed.
Nick has changed his mind also. He thinks he knows what is the right thing to do. And then when that doesn't work so well he changes his tactic to something else. Maybe he's evolving (which by the way does not mean progress, just adaptation to events).
He may be spiralling downward or upward. But he is moving. He's not consistent, or if you prefer he's not stubborn.
Yes, but this was not the point I was making, Lin.
js pointed out specifics where Nick gave Juliette the option to be free, in seasons one, two and three.
I am specifically talking about season 4. What I'm saying here is that Juliette clearly wanted a normal life. Whether Nick is stubborn or not, or is inconsistent had nothing to do with it. This was something she wanted.
For all outward appearances toward Juliette, Nick gives the impression he wants to be normal. But, we have Monroe and Rosalee working on a cure anyway. Why would they do that if Juliette asked them not to? It wouldn't surprise me if Monroe spilled the beans to Nick, and Nick told him and Rosalee to keep searching for a cure. Then we have Nick secretly confiding to Hank that he wants to be a Grimm again.
Juliette clearly wanted a normal life. Nick pretended to go along with her, but really wanted to be a Grimm. He not only kept that truth from her, but Monroe, Rosalee and Hank did as well. Withholding information is just as deceptive as lying.
Was that fair to Juliette? I don't think so.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
