I know it would probably the spell but hearing Monroe talking about how much he admires Eve for everything she has been through and everything that she’s lost and managing to survive it. Such a beautiful moment and I wonder if Monroe really feels that way towards Juliette/Eve. That he really does admire her but the spell just brought that out and made him tell her.

I think it’s very possible he does feel that way! Just not in a romantic context. I mean, we know Juliette/Eve said things that she really felt or had thought at moments in the past while under that spell. And Wu didn’t just spontaneously learn poetry because of the spell…he had to have that in him prior to the spell.

So I don’t think it’s inconceivable that Monroe does admire Eve for surviving everything she’s been through and managing to come out stronger every time. It’s just not something he would have felt comfortable voicing to her otherwise, and certainly not in the context of a romantic declaration; pretty sure that part would never have occurred to him.
