When Juliette inhaled from the hat and slept with Nick, she did nothing that Adalind had not already done – and she was still alive and kicking. They did not know the danger. If they had, Nick would never let her help. That Juliette became a hex was an unexpected side effect. You can also argue that she had a personal interest– safety. When it became known that Nick was not a Grimm, he risked going from hunter to hunted. Living with Nick would also pose a threat to her.
When Kenneth addressed Juliette, she was promised an important role in the royal family (even queen) if she betrayed Nick and tricked his mother into a death trap. We all know what Juliette did. She was even going to kill Nick when Trouble fired the crossbow. In season 5, when Adalind was pressured to stay with Renard to get Diana back, she was intended the role as "first lady of the city". She had both children with her. She could have helped BC catch Nick. She had nothing to gain from being loyal to him at that point. She did something entirely for Nick.
I'm NOT trying to make Adalind a hero, but to emphasize why Juliette does not represent courage and honor. We obviously have different perspectives.
Is that really a fair comparison to state that Juliette didn't do anything that Adalind hadn't done smoking the hat? After all, Nick is the only witness and he's never been the sharpest tool in the shed, so Elizabeth would have to piece together what he could remember along with what she believed Adalind did to change the spell. Aside from that, Juliette wasn't a hexenbiest and was warned about side effects.
I also don't think it's a fair comparison to yet go into the old "what Juliette did after she became a hexenbiest" in an effort to show that she's not heroic. By the way, I never stated she was heroic. I said she showed true courage when she agreed to be the final ingredient.
I don't believe she did it because she was concerned that Nick was keeping her safe. She'd already been in very dangerous situations and near death and that was while Nick was with her. So his presence had nothing to do with her decision, as far as I see.

Juliette could defend himself against the guy - season 4, 10..
Just how was she supposed to do that?
