Juliette insisting she is now Eve is as stupid as Adalind saying to Nick after giving birth, I’m Cindy now and don’t have any connection to your past with Adalind.
G & K’s little trick simply allowed them to avoid dealing with the Nick/Juliette fallout in S5. G & K didn’t want Juliette choosing HW or a life without Nick so they turned her into Eve until they were ready to address the Nick/Juliette redemption story. It was a cheap trick and insulting & disrespectful to the character & viewers.
I don't think I'll ever forgive them for Eve's "stop living in the past" line from A Reptile Dysfunction. I know G&K didn't write that episode, but the entire concept of Eve was theirs. Just imagine a Holocaust survivor being given the same speech by a former S.S. officer inside a retirement home.
At the very least, they could've had Meisner conduct some kind of brain surgery on Juliette's frontal lobe in order to make her more compliant to HW's directives. THAT would have convinced me "Eve" was justified in believing she was a different person, even if Nick & Co. refused to buy it.
