The Spice Shop belongs to Rosalee so she had to know someone other than Nick would be there. Monroe letting Rosalee meet her without him is something Juliette would know wouldn't happen. The only possible surprise she could've had was Hank.
I agree with the first part, "Juliette agreed to go to the Spice Shop after Nick called her". The rest of this is not correct, since I was responding to New Guy's question,
Quote:Rosalee's visit to the jail was an act of friendship. What other friends visited?
My response was purely speculation on how Rosalee would have proven herself to be the friend New Guy believes she is:
If Rosalee was really the one and true friend you seem to believe she is, then she would have at the very least provided Juliette with neutral meeting place that was agreeable to the two of them alone. She would have been honest and provided a background on how the potion came to be. She would have insisted that Nick, Hank, and Monroe attend to their jobs, and not be hanging around, loitering and asking for trouble. She wouldn't have assumed Juliette would be dumb enough just to walk in to wherever and down the contents, merely because the scoobies wanted it that way.
Of course it didn't go down that way because Rosalee stepped back into the shadows and went along with the scoobies. I was just pointing out that Rosalee's actions are not reflective of those of a true friend.

You said she deserved to know what would happen if she refused to take the potion. You are painting a picture that involves a negative outcome for Juliette if she refused to take the potion. Remember that the scoobies didn't attack Juliette until after she shook the shop and threw Rosalee across the room. She certainly wasn't worried about what would happen if she refused to take the potion since she provoked them into attacking.
The minute Juliette walked into the shop, it was a tension filled atmosphere. That isn't solely because of Juliette. The scoobies themselves were threatening. Juliette picked up on the threat.
If they weren't why did Nick feel he had to bring his gun? For that matter, why did Nick feel he had to bring Hank, and why did Hank bring his gun? Monroe didn't even help prepare the potion so why did he need to be present? Wasn't this supposed to be a good will meeting, one that would save Juliette? Why the additional manpower and guns then? I can understand Nick being there, and Rosalee to an extent, but not the rest of them and certainly not armed.
Don't forget, when Juliette said she liked who she was, it was Nick who piped in with something to the effect of, "We don't".
That tells me that if Juliette refused to take the potion and offered no resistance, Nick would have forced her to at gunpoint, probably applauding himself by adding, "it's for your own good".

Actually, what I said was, "did Juliette deserve to know the whole truth behind the spice shop meeting"?
You say the Juliette was told the reason so the truth isn't the issue. Why wouldn't it be? Certainly Juliette has a right to know that Adalind was behind the suppression potion. She also has the right to know why the scoobies feel that Adalind could be trusted. She has the right to question if it's something that could very well be safe for Adalind, yet toxic to Juliette herself. She had the right to know how all of it came to be. She was a Scooby right along with the rest of them. Yet, now, no one trusts her judgment enough to disclose the truth behind the potion?
