Is it possible? Are we all "getting along" due to memories of Airstream?:

It's highly possible! That may be why people were so angry with Juliette for torching the trailer. We knew everything would go to hell once that happened. The fandom would get torn apart and have to be rebuilt once again. I'm sure that's why Nick got the new Grimm books. It was a public service to heal the fandom. However, I still want the trailer back. And I want Bud and his wife to make pies again. I suppose asking for Rosalee's past coming back to haunt her not be fodder for Adalind regaining her powers and the return of Elizabeth is too much?
I wasn't really angry with Juliette for torching the trailer. That is consistent with a woman scorned. Scorned women are always messing up their ex's cars because they believe they were betrayed.
The issue that really bugs me is that they even did this to Juliette in the first place. It was a story slopped together just to make a good character bad. I understand not everyone liked Juliette but I felt it was a complete trash of the character for no good reason. I don't mind her being a hexenbiest, just that they had her do things as a hexenbiest that were completely inconsistent with Juliette's character.
It's different than torching any property because the trailer has been referred to as a character in itself by people in this forum. It's undeniable that the contents of the trailer have helped them solve cases and save countless lives so it's safe to assume it would have aided future Grimms. It wasn't just Nick's property but his family legacy filled with value beyond monetary.
I'm with you on writers trashing characters and having them being wildly inconsistent just to force a plot forward. It's the reason I think Game of Thrones is now overrated. It pissed me off what they did last season to several characters just to prop up others and force a plot that had no good reason to exist.
I understand why Juliette did what she did but her descent happened way too quickly. Jules torching the trailer came not long after putting her own issues aside to go and risk her life to save Monroe. She then had a gun pointed at him in the spice shop. It seemed weird to me that she would use lethal force. You can say she didn't really want to kill him but Monroe wasn't shot only because Hank intervened. That was made worse by forcing Nick to fire a shot at his friend with his own hand. This is the same Monroe that rescued her when she didn't even know him and she returned the favor so what changed so quickly?
I've never been comfortable with plot being valued over character in any show that's supposed to be taken somewhat seriously. Juliette is the prime example of that in this show. Renard getting a pass for his misdeeds shouldn't be overlooked either. They seemed to change course with Renard between the first and second seasons and he's not as interesting as he used to be as a result.
