Nick: You're here because of me. None of this would have ever happened to you if you hadn't met me.
Eve: So you think I wanna change that?
Nick: Yes, I do.
Eve: Well, I don't. A lot of bad things happened to me when all of this started.
I didn't understand it. I was scared and angry, and I did a lot of terrible things.
You excluded the next line: "Things I can never forgive Juliette for." She's projecting again. A few lines later, she says "You really believe we're all better off? I have a strength and a purpose that I never had before. I know you're here because you loved me once, and you feel responsible for the bad things that have happened, but you can't change any of it. And I can't change any of it. And if you could, would you really want to go back to the way things were, just to be happy? Happy doesn't interest me anymore, Nick. It just gets in the way."
What really gets under my skin about Eve's sanctimonious speech is that it conveniently glosses over the strangers in the neighboring houses who were also murdered the night Juliette betrayed Kelly. Do you really think their relatives would be so accommodating if Eve said the same words to them? So she isn't interested in being happy anymore. Great. She's certainly prevented any of those people from ever being happy again.
If the damage had been done to Nick alone, Eve might have a point. But it wasn't, so she doesn't. She was never held completely accountable for her actions. In Grimm's world, changing your name and attitude are apparently all that's needed to get away with being an accomplice to murder. Please don't try to justify it.
I am not trying to justify it.
Sean has ordered the death many people (ex. campaign worker) in the show and we only hear him say he is sorry about the way he treated Diana and Adalind after she wanted to keep Diana and he sent BC away and he is on "team Grimm" again. Do you see Sean as similar to Juliette/Eve?
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
