You don't get to be "indifferent" towards the man you wronged on such a spectacular level, lady.I don’t think G & K had any intention of bringing the S4 fallout into the last two seasons for the sake of Juliette atoning for her sins or so she and Nick could find closure. G & K never devoted much screen time to consequences and closure. The characters simply moved on to a new storyline. They probably wanted to soften Eve’s hard edges by infusing some of Juliette’s softer personality so she’d fit more comfortably in the group, but I don’t think they ever wanted the other characters or viewers thinking of her as the Juliette they once knew.
You'll notice that Eve mostly kept up her air of indifference until the end of S5, when the stick did something funky to her (G&K never bothered to clarify exactly what). Some aspects of Juliette returned to Eve, but she never stopped calling herself Eve, even though she was practically Juliette for all intents and purposes by the end of the series. G&K never had Eve declare outright that she was Juliette again because doing so would basically be an indirect confession that Eve was an all-around failure as a character.

She had a very big part to play in the biggest mystery on the show and Nick really didn't get actively involved in it until the last handful of episodes. There were times where it seemed like Juliette was driving that story. She gets talked about a lot because she's divisive and got a ton of screen time as the show was winding down. In the final season, I can only remember Tree People and the finale being the only episodes where she wasn't seen all that much.I thought Juliette had a rather large role in the final season, too. At the time I figured they connected her to the coming big bad so there would be a need for her to stay with the group. I also wondered why they didn’t devote as much screen time to Eve in S5 when the world was supposedly in the grips of a global Wesen takeover that HW was combating, because Nick didn’t get actively involved in that until the last few episodes either.
