She killed a couple of bad guys. But they were trying to kill her, so it was self defense.

But I think that killing someone falls under the heading of 'hurting someone'. She tried to kill Adalind by dropping that stone gargoyle on her. It was only because that Verrat guy pushed her out of the way that she failed. She tossed that guy in the bar across the room...and did the same thing to Rosalee at the Spice Shop.

But I guess you're saying that she didn't 'actually hurt' them? She torched the Trailer. But now you're saying that was no big deal because they managed to salvage a few things?

It's true that "most of the stuff is still there"...but it is burned beyond being usable.

It would appear that no matter what Juliette does, you will find a way to dismiss it. I was providing perspective. Compared to Adalind. Who actually killed a guy, Juliette only threw one across the bar. Adalind poisoned innocent people Hank and Wu Juliette has only tried to kill Adalind. Juliette threw Rosalee into a wall but Adalind put Juliette in a coma. This is not to dismiss what Juliette has done. But to picture Juliette worse then Adalind seems hypercritical.

Ok Adalind is pregnant, trying to be nice and helpful, has even given up her powers. But Hank is still helping the women that left him for dead. Something I would find a little hard to get over. Then their is Wu after Adalind poisen cookies he is willing to let her stay at his house.

If the show can redeam Adalind with her past. There is nothing Juliette has done that would prevent her from being redeamed. Even giving Kenneth the information on Kelly does not come close to Adalinds past.

I do find it interesting that Adalind was remembering when she was happy as a lawyer. Before being recruited by Sean to get the key from Aunt Mari and then Nick. See is sounding like she wishes she had never meet Nick. Why compare them? There really is no comparison. Juliette would have to back up three years and start over, to equal Adalind's long list of scheming and hurting people. So there is no reason to use false statements to try to make Juliette look better. I don't like these role-reversals that shows do...and we are getting not one, but two at a time. Adalind is irredeemable IMO, and if they continue on the path that they have put Juliette on, she will quickly become irredeemable as well. They've changed the other characters too. Renard is literally struggling with his inner demon (supposedly)...and it's like the rest of Team Grimm have taken stupid pills. Giving Juliette the remainder of that potion, when it was all they had left? That was disappointingly dumb. It's not the sort of thinking that we've come to expect from the team that took on the Zombie hoard. I hope the writers snap out of it soon, and salvage this great show, or it will soon start hemorrhaging viewers and the ratings will suffer. If that happens, it won't matter that the show is renewed for a 5th season, NBC will do a short season and cancel it.
