The frog girl is a good debate on the what ifs but the girl wanted the change no one forced her to drink the potion. The real debate would this make her happy she said it did. Could the whole point of episode have been there is someone out there for everyone. The guy she was with at the end thought she was beautiful so the episode had a happy ever after ending. Like any fairy tale.
The only problem with the happy ending scenario is that it is not a happy ending for at least two people, who ended up dead. What I am saying is that the episode was contrived from the minute it aired until its conclusion. It was designed to supposedly show "another side to Nick". In reality, it didn't show that at all. Accident or not, the frog girl killed two men. Anyone else accidentally killing two men would have to face the judge and a jury. Nick took it upon himself to see to it that the frog girl was not going down that path. Who's he to make that decision?
I am in agreement with JS for this one. The Grimm Brothers wrote Fairy Tales. They included a lot of violence:

The above article provides examples of Grimm's tales with themes that include "Premarital sex, Graphic violence, Child abuse, Anti-Semitism, Incest, and Wicked mothers." IMO, the frog girl's deadly touch is consistent with the writings of the Brothers Grimm. The two guys that wouldn't heed her warnings met a "grimm" end (hideous death).
