You should probably get this out there, but Juliette is still a Hexenbeist. The one time we saw someone having that removed was with Adalind, and that witch ghost thing burst out of her. When Adalind lost her Hexenbeist side the second time that didn’t happen because it was suppressed not removed, so she was still technically a Hexenbeist.

Actually, we have no way of knowing that for sure, for two reasons:

  1. Juliette/Eve was not a regular hexenbiest. The way she got her powers was completely unprecedented, so there’s no way to say for certain that the same rules apply for if she lost them.
  2. The magic stick is brand new to us, and if I had to guess I’d say its use on hexenbiests is also completely unprecedented. So there’s no reason to think that a hexenbiest’s powers being “purged” by it would look the same.

Finally, we do have this tidbit in an interview with David Giuntoli that suggests she is indeed not a hexenbiest anymore:

“Yeah, that stick is to hexenbiests what penicillin is to human beings. It just kind of cures all. The stick looks like it cured Juliette of her mortal wounds, or would-have-been mortal wounds, and in the meantime also kind of cured her of her hexenbiest side effects, I suppose. And we see that with Juliette, and I think that if that moment had happened at any other moment, it would have been a much longer moment, but we were in the process of being ambushed so Nick didn’t have a lot of time to process that. But it’s in the back of Nick’s mind. “

You could still be right. Maybe Juliette is still a hexenbiest, and all it did was break through Eve’s mental block and what Hadrian’s Wall did to her. But if so, all of that woge-ing, convulsing, and de-woge-ing seems a little bit of an odd way to show it.

Either way, it’ll certainly be interesting to see how the team deals with it!
