Meisner & Chavez said as much in their exchange: We’re playing with fire. We need fire. Trubel said as much when she told Nick HW wanted to make Juliette into a weapon, she just didn’t know if they succeeded.
Meisner helping Juliette would have been allowing her to work through what she’d done after becoming a Hexenbiest and any residual anger & resentment toward Nick, her friends, and Adalind. Help would have been Juliette choosing to join HW because she would be moving forward in a positive direction. Help is not being emotionally broken down, splintered, then rebuilt into a new persona completely disconnected from her past.
Hate to say this, but this is how an old friend of mine I grew up with was changed. He never got into any fights, like I did, growing up. He was just a nice quiet kid. We almost joined the Marines at the same time, when we turned 17 but needed our parent’s permission, We did not want to wait for the draft. Our parents rejected us joining the Marines during the Vietnam war. When we turned 18 and were waiting to be classified, he joined up. I backed off from joining, I had a car and a steady girlfriend, he did not.
He told me how they brake you down to the point of almost trying to commit suicide, then they build you up to the point where you think you are invincible. When he was done with his training, he told me, He had no hesitation to charge a machinegun nest just by an order from his command. I think that’s how they broke down Juliette. Question is, How did they suppress her rage?
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
