No torturous end for Juliette in my book of wishes, hope you guys don't get yours. Whether or not Nick will be able to forgive Juliette isn't important to me, only that she asks.
She has much to atone for, but Kelly's ignoble murder is an affront to Nick and to the spirit and letter of the show that bear's the characters' name. In my humble and minority view, of course.
If Nick or any of the other characters respond to Juliette's plea with "That's okay, it wasn't really you," I'll put my fist through the TV screen.
Too many television writers in the past have dismissed monstrous actions and betrayals committed by regulars on the show with dialogue like the one above. It's the cheapest, laziest, most cliched way to force a story along without having to address psychological trauma and other niggling little details that complete hacks can't be bothered to take into consideration.
If the writers give attention to Juliette's regret for her sins and have her ask for Nick's forgiveness, I don't think they would include any such wave of the hand on Nick's part. They would show his inner struggle to give his forgiveness, but I doubt either way, forgive or not forgive, he and J can be a couple in the future. It would merely release both characters of a life-long heavy burden.
