For all those who think Nick would never have forgiven Juliette, I’d like to refer you to the absolute heartbreak on his face as the woman he loved for years–whatever she’d done in the last couple of weeks–died in his arms while choking out his name one last time.
He would have forgiven her. It would have been hard, maybe, it would have taken time. But he would have forgiven her.
Disagree. We know he wasn’t willing to kill her, but I don’t think their relationship was ever going to get back to where it was. He might have been willing to live and let live provided she didn’t do any more damage, but Juliette clearly wasn’t. She went back to the house for closure, however it ended up. I think she was done with him.
The saddest part is, I think Juliette legit went to the house hoping Nick would kill her, and when he didn’t that just set her off again.
I don’t think Juliette was anywhere near actually wanting to come back, and I don’t think for a second they would have gotten back to where they were before. That’s not how relationships work; once a thing like that is broken it’s never quite what it was before, even if you do get to a good, new place eventually.
But that doesn’t mean that if she had wanted to come back, he wouldn’t have forgiven her. I really think he would have.
