Looking at this from a social commentary perspective is all well and good, but reconciliation in this context makes no sense narratively. Epiphanies do not happen in real time; changing belief structures in people takes years. This is far more time than Nick has to save Monroe. Plus it makes absolutely no sense for Nick to extend mercy to any of them. Negotiating with them is risking monroes life for the chance that everyone goes home safe. And Nick has no reason to care about their lives. Also, reconciliation scenes only work when the audience has a reason to feel sympathetic to the bad guys (the show Flashpoint did this very well) and nobody is going to feel sympathy for the guys who tell Monroe that they will "enjoy watching you die". Indeed, most sources I look at are filled with people eatery anticipating Nick slaughtering the Wesenrein.

Lastly, there have been multiple interviews with cast members and they all say the same thing; Grimm is getting darker in its story telling. That means torture, terror and death with no punches pulled. And given how ambivalent Grimm has been in the past towards death, we are in for a lot more blood. it seems be right, especially the last pragraph, but i dont think Nick has to kill all of them, i think one or two is enough and then they will get back, but i dont like he become as Da'esh that cut a lot peoples head! even if they r in their ignorance,

i am thinking to conversation that Capitan Renard and Nick had, Sean ask he is upset becuse he killed who was not wesen? or for killing a man?

all this lat two season i was asking myself that he is really become a dangrous grimm?

i dont like this, his violence is getting more but for killing hundjagers, he had good resone and he didnt want to kill the women, i dont know

Oh come on! Nick is not just going to kill "one or two". For that to work, the Wesenrein would have to surrender or flee after he only kills one or two of them. While evil, they are not that cowardly. He is going to have to kill most of them. There only being one or two left is far more likly.

I remember that conversation with Sean. As far as I know, that storyline was dropped because it did not make sense. Nick has killed humans before ("Let down your hair" is the first time this happened) and did not feel anything. Nick only felt guilt because he killed a non-criminal.

He was perfectly fine killing all of them, the woman included. He only offered here hospital service in exchange for information.

Nick is not bloodthirsty by any stretch, but my feeling is that we are going to see plenty more bodies before the series ends.
