It seems to take the view that the true, total 100% human as a somewhat boring creature, blissfully or stubbornly stupid, and will never really "get it" as far as wesen are concerned. And for that reason, these boring, blissfully stupid/stubborn creatures called humans are not allowed to have any other story than to continue being blissfully or stubbornly stupid.
It feels good to finally agree on something. The show has a weirdly elitist attitude towards humans ("weird," in that the show itself is written by humans), evident whenever a human turns into a blob of mumbling jell-o just from seeing a wesen woge.
That's another reason why I'd love to see a subplot featuring Juliette's Dad entering the picture, and taking his transformed daughter under his care. He could be shown as a warm, kind-hearted, God-fearing man...in other words, the polar opposite of a Hexenbiest, leading to some interesting scenes between the two characters. In turn, Juliette could struggle between her innately nasty nature, and the love she still feels for her father. Juliette's Dad could be the one human on the show who adapts to the reality of the Wesen astonishingly well for the sake of his daughter, so much so he almost makes Hank and Wu jealous.
