I agree with your assessment. But if it's true then they have cut themselves in the foot. After Tribunal there was no storyline anymore that made sense. However, about this later. They ruined the show.

For me, the turning point was the episode Bad Luck. That is when Juliette started acting like someone else, not herself...and Nick too, began to not act like the Nick that they had shown him to be for 3 1/2 years. I liked it when Juliette became powerful, able to defend herself and kill bad guys like the Blutbad at the Tribunal and the Manticore hit-man. And when Adalind came to her house to take her...I liked seeing Juliette fight back and kick her butt. I was looking forward to seeing Juliette & Nick become a powerful couple, fighting bad guys together. If the writers wanted to write the Juliette character off the show, they could have just had her get hit by a truck, or something. They didn't have to make her turn into a bad guy. It's like they wanted us to hate her. TV Shows often do this...make a character turn bad in order to prepare the audience for the character's death. It happens so much, it has become a cliché. They have changed the character of Nick, too...so David Giuntoli should be careful. The old Nick would never have just walked out of the house when Juliette woged for him. He would have stayed there and talked about it. It didn't make sense. The writers have sent a message that 'No one is safe". They could easily kill off Nick and replace him with another Grimm. There is no shortage of hot young actors.
