This is what was written. Hexenette looked back at her relationship with Nick and saw him as someone who intentionally ruined her life even though that's not what happened.
And that was merely a ploy to get Juliette out of Nick's house and get Adalind in. Even as a hexenbiest, Juliette's character would never have done that.
Sure she did it. What I'm saying is there was no reason behind her character doing what she did. All that did is get Adalind into Nick's home and Juliette out of Nick's home.
Let me put a different spin on this. Why did there have to be multiple scenes regarding the suppression potion?
A. to show Adalind had something of value to offer the scoobies
B. to show Adalind loved her mother, even though she was parting her out to make the potion
C. to show Adalind herself would take the potion, thus proving it was "safe"
D. to lure Juliette into the spice shop.
I don't think one poster for a minute believed Juliette was ever going to swallow the potion. So the real reason behind the scene was to get Juliette to show her power, throw people around, point Nick's gun at Hank, and then walk out, declaring she liked who she was (paraphrasing).
Thus, Juliette is out and Adalind is in.
I get what what you're saying here and I'm going to give you some credit on this issue. You understood what happened here but you're questioning the why of it all. I think you would give two different responses based on what happened vs. why you think it happened.
We've had our debates about GoT here. I could tell you what characters like Littlefinger, Sansa, and Tyrion did and then have a lengthy debate about why I think the writers had them do those things. I'll tell you what they did and then explain why I don't think it made any sense and it was most likely done to push the desired outcome along and to play on the audience's emotions while disregarding all rationality.
Back to Grimm, you're saying that Juliette was written to go batshit crazy in order to get Adalind into Nick's house. You're questioning the motives of the writers and I can't fault you for doing so. I'll even say that isn't far-fetched because Adalind's character was softening while Juliette was becoming more ruthless. This is one area where I can't definitively say you're right or wrong about what their motives were.
Personally, I think they had Juliette go crazy in order to maximize the damage done to Nick at the end of season 4. His longtime girlfriend and the woman he wanted to marry was the best candidate for the job. Her established characterization probably came secondary to that agenda.
