After thinking about this episode for a few days I had a notion that perhaps the proto-molecule isn't malevolent and that Julie might have infected it through her contact. This might be why Eros was heading to Earth; because Julie was in control of it (but in a dream) and simply wanted to go home. Any thoughts?
Not sure where the series is heading next but I am going with it!
