In a way, Juliette did need to become Eve because she was spiraling out of control. In my opinion, that's probably what needs to happen to every Hexenbiest so that they won't be controlled by the Hexebiest inside them. If the show runners had more time, I think they would've addressed Juliette's circumstances more. And then maybe we'll be able to get the Nick and Juliette closure we were deprive of. But then again, not everything has a happy ending too. There's a possibility that both think their relationship is beyong being saved already, hence why we never really got it in the first place. There was a an issue I saw from day one with the "Eve" character, and I think it had to do with the creative team wanting her particular character to suffer a bit, as you will. Maybe in retribution for Nick's trailer or betraying Kelly, who knows? However, I digress.

Sean was under the influence of Jack the Ripper's ghost. Nick got hit with some poisonous spit and murdered a man, unaware of what he was doing. The two characters got off pretty much scot free from their murderous ways because "they just didn't know what they were doing when they did it".

But that was not to be for Eve/Juliette, so they came up with this cockamamy idea of having the "Juliette" personality housed within the same brain as the "Eve" personality. That way "Eve" could conveniently turn to "Julitette's" memories when there was an issue that necessitated it. As it is with Grimm, more often than not, "Eve" had to turn to "Juliette" for guidance. The thing I find ironic about all of this is that, for all of the fans who wanted Juliette dead, she really continued to be a major player in the series. Adalind had Nick's baby, but the Eve/Juliette character continued to carry those mysterious questions with her. "Will she become Juliette once again?" and "Will Nick go back with her if she does?" They even had Adalind wondering about Juliette coming back into the picture and what would happen to her if Juliette did.

I have always thought that, if there had been a 7th season, direction would have drastically changed and Nick would have sought out Juliette/Eve, in an effort to try and cure her, or to help her. If you notice, Nick has never, ever tried to help her since she became Eve. One of the major, major storylines that was never addressed was her indoctrination into HW. In order to experience even a partial brainwash, she would have had to have endured ceaseless hours of torture and then neglect. Yet the "Juliette" side not only persevered, but remained quite strong throughout the last two seasons.
