He only wanted old Juliette back, not the crazy, unhinged, vengeful, murderous Hexenette. In the scene where she reveals herself to him, her dialogue makes it seem she had been envious of him and now she had powers and felt she was now just as special as she thinks Nick felt about himself being a grimm. She is the one that doesn't want to go back to normal and boring because all this power was getting to her head.
I agree. When she shows up at the spice shop, and the gang offers her the suppressing potion. One can easily see how content she is not just up to par but more powerful than any of them. That scene tells me that she was jealous of Nick and the rest of the Wesen gang members prior to her becoming a Hex. And was glad to show off her new found powers.
I know some posters claimed that she was defending herself first, in response to Rosalee attacking her. That’s another lying fact that never happened. Rosalee NEVER attacked her, she went to catch the potion before it hit the ground. Juliette was proud to prove her powers by being violent first, by throwing Rosalee across the room and then back hand slapping Monroe as he voged into a Blutbad.
That’s when, Hank, then Nick, pulled out their guns. They were reacting to her violence. It wasn’t over some delusional, made up concept in someone’ screwed up mind that they or Nick was jealous of her and trying to force her to drink a potion, that now, was all over the spice shop's floor.. They pulled out their guns in response for her attacking them. You just have to ask WTF? Were they watching?
I've debated this with other posters before but I think the first act of aggression was Juliette shaking the Spice Shop. Her actions were escalating and she had just burned down the trailer in the prior episode. I don't see how anyone could not feel threatened in that situation. Yet, they still didn't attack her until she threw Rosalee across the room which everyone knows will provoke a response from Monroe.
I don't blame the gang for trying to give Juliette the potion nor do I blame her for not taking it. I had a problem with what she did afterwards when she attacked them.
I shouldn't even have to mention that jealousy played no part in it. The gang decided to make the potion first out of pity and guilt because they felt sorry for her and felt responsible for what happened to her and then fear came into the picture. Juliette was becoming more and more unhinged. She had recently been arrested, threatened a pregnant woman in the middle of the police station for everyone to see or hear, and burned down the trailer. Jealousy doesn't come to mind when they're more afraid of her and what she might do next.
Besides, they all worked with Eve and were never shown to have any jealousy.
