That code was not to kill one another, which includes an unborn hexenbiest baby.Any dependable parameters with the characters and various Wesen species would have been a nice addition. But the show didn’t actually portray Juliette as an evil Hexenbiest instinctively drawn to destroying any ‘good’ in her path. It played her as a crazy and obsessed woman scorned, who happened to have the necessary power to wreak over the top destruction.
Elizabeth, I believe, was the one who mentioned that hexenbiests were persecuted. Being persecuted by others, one would think they would fight to keep their species intact. That doesn't mean they can't be evil and fight amongst themselves. It just means they can't go as far as to murder one another.
I was thinking about this after my last response and basically, G&K simply turned Hexenbiest Juliette into an Adalind personality. She was suddenly unable to rationalize the futility and long-range fallout of exacting revenge. And while the angry Hexenbiest wouldn’t have cared that Kenneth would kill anyone in his way, Juliette would know Kenneth was only interested in his personal ambitions. Her need for revenge only mattered because it benefited him. But Juliette blindly followed Kenneth like Adalind blindly followed Renard, and this unexplained blind obedience led both women to their downfall.
I think G&K took the quickest route to unveiling their new La Femme Nikita character, and Juliette was tossed aside as collateral damage.
