... How strong is the hexenbiest pull look at Juliette, drove her to be someone else.

Or it simply magnified traits that were already there... Juliette always had a jealous streak and a temper. She got pissed off and hung up on Nick in 'Plumed Serpent' when that Daemonfeurer girl answered Nick's phone. She was pissed off at Nick when Adalind tricked him into having sex with her. Even though Juliette wouldn't marry Nick...she still didn't want anyone else to have Nick either. Juliette already had a dark side to her, long before she ever became a hexenbiest.

We have seen other hexenbiests who were not rage-filled and irrational...Elizabeth and Henrietta. So it is not accurate to declare that all hexenbiests are like Juliette.

I'm no big fan of Adalind...but if you will recall, Adalind was a hexenbiest when she decided to make, and take, the suppression potion. So as surprising as that is, she is capable of making rational decisions, even when she is a full hexenbiest.

Syscrash53 also wrote: You also have another theme running her. Nick grew up no parents, Trubel no parents, Sean with out his parents, Adalind without her mom, Dad who knows. Monroe and Rosalee problems with their parents. Juliette seems to be the only one that grew up maintaining a relationship with both her parents.

Nick had parents till he was 12...then was with his Aunt after that. Sean was raised by his mother. Adalind was raised by her mother. Monroe grew up with both parents, and had a pretty good childhood from what he has said. Rosalee grew up with both parents...her problems began when she left home and went on drugs. Trubel had no parents and had a terrible childhood. But your generalization of a theme of overall absentee parenting is just not accurate.

Syscrash53 also wrote: ADalind ,Nick and the kids sittng around a dinner table. Does that realy fit with the theme of any of the other characters past. The characters make this point about wanting a life different then they had. But does anyone really think the writers would make it possible.

It might happen...we don't know yet what the writers will do. Bud and his wife are raising a family. We've seen other examples of Wesen families...such as the Indole Genteele in the Christmas episode, and the fathers with their sons at the Iron Hans Camp. So we don't know what will happen going forward.
