There was no "they" at the time Renard took over the mayorship. BC was gone. HW was obliterated from Portland. Nick may have had Renard's computer and his records, but it still comes down to Renard having him in the end. There is no replacement for Renard that's going to tolerate Nick's antics. Without Renard behind the captainship at the police station, Nick's fun days of being a Grimm would end fast. That's why he took the mayorship from Renard and that's why he agreed to be a good boy in the face of Renard's threats.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
