In fairness to Elizabeth...maybe she intended it to be temporary, turning Juliette into hexenbiest. Maybe she only intended it to last long enough for the spell to work on Nick, to make him a Grimm again. [Making Juliette a hexenbiest.] As Grimmaniac said, Elizabeth did seem to be very trustworthy. I agree. And she later told Sean..."I underestimated it's power". She was referring to The Hat. So maybe she didn't know that The Hat would amplify the spell, and make Juliette a hexenbiest, permanently. Elizabeth did say..."There are a lot of unknowns". Her mission was to make Nick a Grimm again, right? So that was her main concern. Since Elizabeth has been a hexenbiest her whole life, maybe she considers it a 'gift' and not a curse. So making Juliette into a hexenbiest too, may not have seemed like such a bad thing to her.
