By the end of S02, minion was no longer a viable option and Renard switched to trying to win Nick's support as an ally. By the time that collapsed at the end of S05, Nick had as much or more dirt on Renard as Renard had on Nick, if not with local authorities then with the Feds (HW) and they spent most of S06 just staying out of each others' way. As I said previously, the real question is not why Renard didn't act against Nick or vice versa, but why HW didn't rendition Renard off to Gitmo or some other foreign interrogation center.
I can see season why Renard put up with Nick in season one. Nick was a novice grimm. Renard must have figured he could easily be molded into a tool for Renard's use, whether it be on the job or personal. But Nick changed from formula detective to full fledged grimm in season two, he was of no use to Renard. Nick didn't have the makings of an ally, at least one that Renard could use. His behavior on the street was graphic, not subtle or invisible, which were Renard's trademarks. Renard should have rid himself of Nick in season two.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
