His plane, aparently, since the beging was to have Nick on his side. So everything (aparently good and aparently bad) was done in this way. Think about it: killing aunt Marie was a way to let Nick alone (at least relative to grimms). If aunt Marie was alive, certanlly she was discovery Renards royality and that would be a problem do Renard's plan against the families.
I'm going to have to disagree with this. Renard and Adalind's attack on Aunt Marie was dumb. It was really dumb. The attack still makes no sense. If the goal of the attack was to get the key, what does killing Aunt Marie do to advance that goal? And regarding your comment about discovering Renard's Royalty, it's unlikely that any grimm would be able to recognize that Renard was a royal. I doubt you can just google their genealogy, let alone for a bastard Royal. Also, can't Renard just take the week off while she's sick? It's unlikely Aunt Marie or Renard would ever have reason to encounter each other (I can't remember if they even met in the pilot).
And if as you say, if the goal of killing Aunt Marie was to get "Nick alone (at least relative to grimms)," what's the point of the attack anyway? She has terminal friggin brain cancer. Just wait a few months (or days as it turned out), and let nature take its course. Nick was raised by Aunt Marie. Without reading Nick's mind, it's unlikely Aunt Marie would tell Nick anything especially dangerous that she hadn't told him already.
Anyways, the attack on Marie was dumb. I understand why the writers did it (they needed to show how Nick's boss, Captain Renard, had bad motives towards Nick), but still, I wish they had thought a bit longer about how to accomplish that.
