And I started a thread asking people how they would get rid of her. Tee Hee
Sorry, but she is my absolute least favorite character on the show.
As I've said elsewhere in this forum, I just don't see how Juliette is going to be able to get past Nick sleeping with Adalind. And I think the final nail is going to be a dramatic scene where Nick is presented the possibility of getting his Grimm powers back, and Juliette will basically say, "It's either being a Grimm, or being with me. One or the other." I don't want Juliette to be killed off, but I will be surprised if she is one of the main characters after this season. At best, I see her as a recurring character, just like Bud or Kelly.
That kind of ultimatum isn't really Juliette's M.O., though. I could believe she might decide a Grimm's life isn't for her, but not thrusting an either/or situation on Nick. I think she would respect his choice to get his powers back, and if she left, the choice would be hers.
Wherever they end up, I don't see the Nick/Adalind thing being the deciding factor, though. That wasn't infidelity. I would personally define it as rape, though I suspect the show probably won't. I think it will be played as deception, and nothing more loaded than that.
Honestly, though, I think Juliette's venting about everything Nick's Grimmness has thrown at them has probably served the only purpose it was ever intended for: amping up the melodrama of the loss of his powers. They had several foreshadow-y moments like that in the finale; another was the blathering on with Theresa about whether Nick would choose to be a Grimm, if it were a choice. This show moved away from character-motivated arcs to plot-driven twists and turns in season 2, and moments like these never seem to resonate for very long. They're included to get us to the next plot twist, and then they're let go. I would be very surprised if there's any kind of storyline that focuses on JUliette's frustrations here. I don't even know how much time I believe they'll spend on Nick wrestling with whether or not he wants to be a Grimm again. External conflicts get a lot more attention than internal ones on this show.
