I agree with you @syscrash53 that she became a main character without the character doing anything to merit it, possibly through social media. Come to think about it, there's not been much character development.

In season 5, I don't see her as a regular, not in more than a third of the episodes, but having the major keys plot. Despite the promise of knowing what the keys lead to in season 5, it's not a plotline that the series needs to drive it forward.

From a career point of view, she does need to come back to avoid being typecast after the pigeon-holing in one-dimensionality of the back-end of season 4. I agree the show had Juliette make an extreme sacrifice to allow Nick to get his Grimm back and save their friends. But  they end her story with her remembered as a monster.
