I think Juliette is feeling...scorned. She kept saying "It's not the same", she was referring to the way that Nick looked at her. And she was right. It is a testament to David Giuntoli's acting abilities that he really was 'looking at her differently'. So the writers and the director were obviously directing him to 'look at her differently'. There is an old saying..."Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". Nick could have avoided this if he had taken her into his arms and said something like: "Oh honey. Of course this is scary for you, but I still love you. You're still you. You're still the Juliette that I love." But no. He didn't do that. The writers aren't letting him do that. It would have been 'in character' for Nick to do that. But for some reason the writers are making this as painful as possible. Painful for the characters. Painful for us to watch.
