Julia Golden

Julia Golden is the hidden villainess from "Your Face or Mine?," episode 3.10 of Eureka.

She was played by Leela Savasta.

Julia Golden is a researcher for Global Dynamics who had a secret crush on Douglas Fargo. Julia also harbored insecurities and (perceived) jealousy of Jo Lupo, who she thinks is "perfect." Desperate to get Fargo's attention, Julia resorted to villainous methods to do just that; first by stealing devices related to DNA manipulation. She then used those devices to alter her form and change her DNA to make herself look like Jo (who Fargo admires). As Jo, Julia sang karaoke and even made out with Fargo, prompting those who know Jo to believe that she was behaving oddly.

Julia's ruse was discovered by Jo and Henry, and later in the episode, Jo attempted to arrest Julia, who looked like Jo once again and was attempting to reverse the process--as the DNA strands became unstable. At that moment, Jo began to double over, due to the fact that Julia gave her sedatives after her re-certification process. Later on, Jo is behind a cell in Julia's form, while the evil Julia continued her ruse. She is later encountered by Fargo at the gun range, but it is at that moment that Julia confesses everything, while feeling remorse for her actions. With hers and Jo's lives in danger, Julia successfully reverses the process, bringing the women back to normal.

Regarding Julia's fate, Allison permitted her to stay in town pending a hearing regarding her actions. However, Julia did end up in a relationship with Fargo, which continued in her second appearance later in "What Goes Around, Comes Around." In a new timeline during Seasons Four and Five, however, Fargo and Julia never met, with Julia being revealed as working for Google, becoming a gazillionaire, and is married to an astronaut.
