We still don't know what the character change will be like. There have been a few clues, however. He told Nick that the choice to regain his powers was Nick's choice. He didn't try to influence him. Sean told Nick he could tell Wu if he wanted but to leave him out of it. He has put his own needs or desires secondary to what would be best for others. I've probably missed examples of his change but I'm sure there will be some more obvious changes in future episodes. It's always interesting to see characters change and grow. He has been the most complex character in the show from the start.

Complex he may be, but every character follows a set of rules that they adhere to regardless of situation. Bud will never go on a killing spree. Wu will quip whenever he can, even when suffering from a breakdown ( see "once we were gods"). Prince Vicktor will never become a good guy. Despite the changes to Sean's character over the years (moving from mysterious antagonist to scheming ally to trusted superior), some constants do and shall continue to remain. He will always be the one plotting, the one seeing patterns, the one with the contacts and the plan. He will always be more calculating, more political and more cool headed than the rest of the cast (on average). So when I say that a relationship with Juliette is off the table, I am basing my claim on the grounds that such a development goes against the parts of his character that will never change, rather than the parts of him that are more fluid.
