I gave up my hopes for a reunion between J and N long ago. Where we differ in our response to the character is you see her as an independent and capable person who should be able to go on as circumstances have defined her. She is that. But I always run into the wall of what she did out of pain and anger, then I feel she should be accountable, not by Nick, but by the dictates of her own decent character. Juliette is a sorrowful example of bad things happening to good people, imo. Just can't see Grimm ending with her still alive.
There's something I have noticed about Grimm right off. Elements like atonement and regret have no place in the series. In my opinion, a storyarc with Juliette atoning now for something that happened a year ago doesn't mesh with the whole progressing forward and fighting BC. It doesn't mesh with how Adalind is going to care for her kids or how Nick is going to deal with life without them. It really doesn't even mesh with whatever this change in Juliette that the creative team has revealed.
I would prefer Grimm not go into the past, but continue with the future. I'd like to see all the characters live to the end.
Seems like most good tales involve prologue and consequences, but yours is the more hopeful interpretation of the show's intent.
