here is a wild theory. For Adalind to increase her powers she needed her mothers spirit. Adalind knew Juliette would never take the potion. She just used curing Juliette as and excuse to get the group to help retrieve her mothers body and make the potion. As we have seen all potions take a time to work. Adalind will keep her having extra power a secrete.
