Was complicated by it being wesen related and under circumstances could he reveal that fact. Nick telling the husband that the wife was not crazy was coming close to the line. As a Grimm he should have killed el cuegle that first time he found him with the child. The cop compelled him to arrest the guy. I stead of having Nick make a moral decision they let the guy have an accident. Something the show has used many times. Instead of Nick doing the Grimm thing they create another out.From the beginning the show has presented Nick as wanting to be different from his ancestors. The fact that the Grimm recorded his/her encounter with El Cruegle in pure Grimm fashion - it must be an evil monster - compared to Nick believing his explanation for what he does, establishes that Nick tries to not be like his ancestors. Had Kelly encountered El Cruegle, she would have killed him even if she believed his plight. Kelly was an old school Grimm - the only good Wesen is a dead Wesen.
Nick did not have to disclose Grimm/Wesen details. The mother was adamant she saw a monster, and was not crazy. All Nick had to do was tell her she did see a monster and then warn her of the premonition. She would have been relieved just to know someone believed her. It may not have changed the future. It also may have changed the future.
The visions would have compelled the Wesen to continue going after the baby. Nick’s option was to allow it to happen or kill him. I do agree Nick should have chosen to intervene on the baby’s behalf and purposely killed the Wesen. His accidental death was a cop out.

So we know he would be captain . We just did not know how.Keeping Renard precinct captain for the ease of storytelling is another lazy cop out. There are ways to work around Nick vs. Renard and establish an uneasy alliance - the most obvious, Diana, and Adalind’s supposed refusal to give up her daughter again.
