They do not know she is working with the royals, they don't know she is luring Kelly and Diana into a trap and they don't know she is putting innocent lives at risk in order to help Kenneth. At present, they know she has engadged in property damage, an assault and death threats against Adalind (which is rather understandable). Furthermore they assume that she merely enjoying her power (Rather than being infatuated with it) and that she still carries some desire to be with her lover deep down (which we know is not true). All these factors, admittedly combined with a certain amount of wishful thinking, gave the scooby gang hope that she could be pursuaded to take the potion. They were wrong, but their line of thinking is not entirly unreasonable. I was a little disappointed that the gang was so naive in dealing with Juliette. In the preview, just before Juliette tosses Rosalee against the wall you can see that she has her hand raised. I thought that maybe she was trying to stab Juliette with a syringe or something, which turned out not to be the case. But anyway, you are absolutely right. It's not at all uncommon for people to miscalculate like that when dealing with someone who has undergone a complete personality change, especially if it's someone you are close to. As you say, the team has no idea what Juliette is up to and they're still thinking - hoping - that she's just going through some temporary "phase" and can still be reasoned with. It's just really hard to believe that one's entire thought process can change so drastically but, it really does happen. I think they will have learned their lesson after this last encounter however!
