Juliette killed as a hexenbiest by 410 and went to Sean for help learning about being a hexenbiest too. Juliette left Nick by 414 so Juliette had 7 episodes before the final where she did not even live with Nick. There was time to have Juliette struggle with her conscious for more than a few minutes.

A rising tide of power and unwieldy emotion overwhelmed her. What percolates in those born a Hexenbeist, boils over in any who are made that way. Her Jealously, anger and frustration are amplified to the melting point. And the more she feels it, the more the Beist side nurtures it. Until she is nothing but a raw nerve. Too much for anyone to manage. Hadrian's Wall broke her down and built walls to contain what amounted to a overheating nuclear core. Some of that structure remains, even after it's fractured by her near death and encounter with the stick. And in the time since those walls were first constructed, the half-life of that fallout inside of her, has decreased. The two halves, wall and fire, can coexist now. Tempered by time and an understanding of what's inside of her, that she lacked when the wound was new. For Adalind, the situation is different. When she was pregnant with Diana, and the force returned, that power was divided. When Juliette became Adalind and reversed Nick's curse, Adalind's power was fractured yet again. Diana, Eve and Adalind are bonded by the same spirit. This is why they share a telepathic tether. When Adalind took the suppressant, she thought she was escaping a domineering presence in her life. She's terrified of it's return. But when the effects wear off, the power comes back, but her nature is unchanged. Unbeknownst to her, that voice in her ear was already silenced. By inadvertently giving away pieces of the Beist within, she was nullifying it's influence on her. Adalind gets to be her own woman, because that voice ended up in Juliette. Now, as Eve, she's tamed it in her own way.
If having a strong hexenbiest spirit makes you a bad mother that could affect your genes. A full hexenbiests for generations could have more ability to control the hexenbiest or it could be somewhat suppressed in the mother during pregnancy and raising a small child.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
