[/quote]Why do some think it was brainwashing? Someone point out correctly (sorry can't give credit to them) that it may have been more like basic training of the military I see that as likely. I still wonder what Meisner was talking about when he told than Juliette she was dead but didn't have to stay that way? Could it be that she gained control of the hexenbiest spirit or even the when we see Eve that is the woge. Just another way to look at it.
As for Nick and the Scooby's not interested in what happen to Juliette why would they be? She herself says she is NOT Juliette but Eve so I see that as an answer to the question. She has told Nick it wasn't easy but didn't give any hint that it was beatings or brainwashing that made her Eve. Nick and the Scooby's might have had more interest if Juliette and Nick and company had parted on good terms. IMO

I don't see any reason for it not to be brainwashing. The gang acknowledged Juliette went off the rails last season and there was no hope of the real Juliette ever returning. She was a complete psycho in their eyes. I think the characters and the audience alike would see it as brainwashing because it was a complete turnaround from her acting on her impulses last season.
Nick told the gang to kill Juliette but couldn't bring himself to do it when the opportunity presented itself. He clearly didn't want her to die. He wanted to know what HW did with her body. He then finds out she's alive and going by Eve and is a completely different person from the last time he saw her. Rosalee still mourned the loss of the old Juliette even after she tried to kill Monroe. I think they would both want to know exactly how she became Eve. If anything, it would be hard for them to trust this transformation which gives them all the more reason to want to find out how HW did it. Juliette telling them she's Eve does not answer the question and vague hints don't help either. Nick is a detective after all. How often does he just accept the I've changed defense? He investigates things beyond taking the word of people for a living.
