... This path can only end one of two ways. Everyone unable to adjust, completely shuts her out, and Juliette becomes a pariah. Or starting with Nick they will have to start taking her seriously. Their fear will need to turn to actual respect. They will have to come to the realization that they mis judged Juliette. Excellent points! Especially the part about how people often don't appreciate restraint as strength. That happens so often in real life. A person will put up with all kinds of nonsense, tolerating other people's insensitivity and just outright rudeness, and then when that person has finally had enough and speaks out, everyone is like, "When did you get so pushy?!" Can see it already with some of the Juliette haters changing their tune from "she's too weak and whiney," to " she's too mean." Not that she isn't being mean but, by golly, she's put up with a lot. I can certanly see why there would be a tendency for her to go overboard with wanting to show everyone else that she is the one to be "put up with" now.

And condescendingly is exactly the way Nick, in particular, has been treating her. It was especially bad in the scenes leading up to when she revealed herself to him, like when she said she was going to rip Adalind's throat out and he said, "Well, that would be easier said that done!" and when she said she had almost killed Adalind and he was so incredulous. I think you're totally right in that as she becomes more and more comfortable with the idea of being a Hexenbiest, she is going to be ever more annoyed when people keep talking about trying to find a way to "fix" her. For instance, I could see her revealing herself to Rosalee, Rosalee saying, "Maybe I can find something in one of my books to help you," and then Juliette blowing a hole in the spice shop or something. As you say, not pretty!
