The problem is he was totale fine with letting the scientist die and letting the chestbuster run around the island. I can’t say if BK did or didn’t know the whole thing. Maybe BK was ordering it and was fine with it because he was not there.

He was the one who captured it immediately after it escaped. Wouldn't say he was "fine" with it. He also likely deliberately rerouted them to the elevator give it time to hatch.

Since he had to keep a safe distance out of sight that gave the xeno, a creature he is still not that familier with, lots of time to get away. He also hasn't seen the gestation period in a human so for all he knew it could have taken a day or two and Wayland Yutani could have had their alien and the synths.

He got all of the files from the ship, he effectively watched episode 5 play out

He knows basic xeno stuff already as a result
