It's really strange to me how the scoobies dealt with Juliette-the-hexenbiest. In other words, they didn't really seem to recognize that there was something more at work within her than the friend they knew and loved. For example, in their minds, it was Juliette who torched the trailer. Within the reality of the story, it was actually Juliette-the-hexenbiest who torched the trailer. Two different beings.
I mean, they got that Sean wasn't Sean, but Sean-the-ripper. They got that Nick wasn't Nick, but Nick-the-zombie. And in both cases, they recognized there was a problem and their friends were not their friends, but something else entirely.
Even Nick seemed to still have tunnel vision at the restaurant in last week's episode when he accused Juliette of setting him up. I don't know what that was about, he was never set up by Juliette. But, a little later, there was something in Nick's reaction to Eve that really intrigued me.
Now granted, it shouldn't be too difficult to realize something happened to Juliette, particularly with Bitsie's very wooden performance. But for Nick, who generally focused on everything else but Juliette, I found this astonishing and I have to admit, kind of cool.
He actually showed interest and asked her what "they" did to her. The fact that Nick actually clued in on it amazed me.
I'm paraphrasing here, but later in the episode he said something like 'he didn't know who Eve was'.

The characters have changed so drastically we don't know where the writers will go. IMO, this is why the ratings have dropped.
I too am bothered by his reaction. It seems to me that would just be more proof positive that Juliette was indeed Juliette-the-hexenbiest and her actions were attributable to the hexenbiest and not the human. In another vein, it should be an eye opener to Nick that this peaceful cohabitation or whatever they're doing isn't going to last.
I am actually hoping that Nick begins to wonder exactly what HW is all about and does not join up with them. I don't want him to get back with Juliette. That to me is over and done with. However, I wouldn't mind a story where there's some mystery as to what's happened to her and when he finds out the horrific truth, he goes on a mission to save her. Wishful thinking but I would have a lot of fun watching that story arc.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
