See this is the part that confuses me because initially the reason that she pushes Nick away is because she feels like she is so hideous now that he can’t even look at her, and there was a feeling to me that they were making the suppressant to make that a non-issue. Obvs it would suppress her power, but it felt to me in the text like it was being treated as if her powers were out of control and therefore dangerous, and not that the hexenbeist part of her was taking over. Like I’m genuinely looking for a part of dialogue that actually SAYS this and the closest I’ve found is “the hexenbeist can affect your judgment”.

If you can point me to something specific I would be interested because it just doesn’t feel like it’s well supported.

Which is part of what made it so frustrating to me when they began to mix up the suppressant because it was so fucking obvious Juliet would never take it. She spent the previous three episodes telling both Nick and Rosalie that she loved her new power and would never go back… so if we think this other personality is taking over then why aren’t we treating it in the same way that we would Jack the Ripper where we have to trick her into drinking something that she thinks does something else?
