But even if he did, his terminally ill aunt showing up unexpectedly and saying "we need to talk" would be a red flag that something more urgent has just come up.
Actually, S1, E1 Pilot, the scene Nick and Hank are in the police station and had just figured out whom the missing person and victim of the attack, about only 6 minutes into the episode, Nick drops the ring, in its case, on the desk. Hank grabs it and chucks it at nick with the line:
Hank; Big night. Don’t blow it Romeo. {Hanks breaks out in a laugh}
I think that’s suffice to say, he was planning on proposing that same evening.

The point shows like Grimm, GoT, and the ones in the Arrowverse are trying to make are not hard to see. A discussion about writers' intent is interesting but we're talking about something more important here as it relates to quality.
Writers' intent doesn't improve the story on the screen. I'm not going to think any story is better because of what the writers' wanted to portray. I know the writers' intent on a show like GoT because they talk about certain plot points after every single episode. If anything, it makes me think less of the show because of the sloppiness, continuity issues, and out-of-character moments that constantly happen. They often let their intent get in the way of a well-written story. In some instances, it can lead to a lot of controversy.
HR, thats my point about all this "writers intent" I am not claiming it doesn't exist or pertain to the story. I just think it is a lot more simplistic then some try to claim it as it has hidden meaning effecting the story line
