Sebastien, not Sebastian, he's French after all
And if the Captain seemed a little short with Nick, its probably because he's got bigger things on his mind....he just assassinated his half-brother, and was forced to set in motion major political machinations that he probably did not want to start this early. He knows(?) that Adalind is carrying his baby, which could be the key to reclaiming control of the Family.
And then Nick, his main weapon and asset in Portland, is going all emo about accidentally killing a guy and talked about turning himself in, which would seriously compromise Renard's position. After, no less, he's killed dozens of Wesen before. As a Wesen himself, who just killed his half-brother for the cause of Wesen 'civil rights' (for lack of a better analogy), thats gotta be pretty frustrating.
As for the episode itself...a little predictable. Monroe 'acting like he's acting' is too much of a telegraph. And I dont know why they had to go with such a set piece, you'd think just getting him alone in a room and doing a little "good Grimm, bad Blutbad" with a couple of them would have much the same effect. Give me that confession, or I walk away, close the door, and let them turn you into a BLT.
Incidentally, would that confession even stand up in court? It seems awfully forced, with no corroborating evidence they showed, and he still seemed too defiant. I wish they had established his compliance a little better - maybe something like he wanted to confess and go to jail, because Nick really scared him good and he was convinced that'd be the only place he was safe from the Blutbaden - just as the police cant prove that a Bauerschwein was out to murder Blutbaden, he also cant go to the police and explain how a pack of murderous Blutbaden are out to get him for being a Bauerschwein.
