Actually, it boils down to Nick deferring to Renard’s and Hank’s argument. His confession would cause legal troubles for those who fought alongside him and destroy his effectiveness as a Grimm. In the end, Nick chose protecting his friends and his status as a Grimm over his original decision that turning himself in was the right course of action. One could debate which argument carried the most weight in Nick’s decision.
He demonstrated similar behavior when he allowed Juliette to participate in the reversal spell. In the end, he chose to resume his position as a Grimm despite the heavy warnings of unknown and possibly dangerous repercussions.
