Elizabeth was more powerful than Adalind, equal to Adalind + sex. She took on Adalind's appearance to make the potion to restore Nick's powers. Juliette didn't need to take on Adalind's appearance to make the potion work better or have sex with Nick. Ergo the potion had nothing to do with Juliette's being a hexenbiest. Elizabeth had to know what a restore powers potion would do to Juliette. Ehh... no. Remember Adalind bewitching Hank? It was neccessary to have sex for the spell/potion to take fully effect.

And for bewitching Nick the sex was just as important. Otherwise she could have baked him a cookie or anything... Ok taking Juliettes shape might not have been neccessary for the spell per se, but it was the only way Nick voluntarily would have had sex with her.

And since the spell had to be the exact opposite, of course it was due to change Juliettes appearance into Adalinds. It was a mirror-curse, remember?

The only thing that was probably not intended in the original spell, was for Juliette to become a hexenbiest permanently. But given the circumstances Adalind regained hers (or to be more precisely - gained a new one as this was originally Frau Pech's hexenbiest), it's only logical the Contaminatio Ritualis would have a similar effect on Juliette. Slowly but steadily. And I suspect Adalind to have come to the same conclusion when talking to Renard. She had a little time to think about it, before she told him...

Adalind's statement to Renard in the car could have been investigated further. Renard said nothing when Adalind told Nick she didn't know it was going to do that to Juliette. Just another reason not to trust Renard. Or Adalind for that matter. We all know, that royals can't be trusted. And I'm pretty sure Renard never regained Nick's full trust after his 'comig-out' anyway, since he didn't show him the trailer. Everyone else was there, but Nick never invited the Captain over... And Adalind... I never expected anythig else from her than 'bending the facts' in her favor ^^°
