Okay, that comment from Lenkov made me feel so much better, thank you for letting me know about that. I feel mean saying it, but it's very true--if things are all happy and settled between Danny and Rachel, we lose a lot of what makes the character interesting to watch. I LOVE Danny as a single father, I love to watch him struggle with the situation. Although I agree that if we get a whole lot of angsty family issues with them, it would really drag the show down. But in the end, the show is a procedural so hopefully it will only be touched on now and again. Yes, I'm shallow, I'm in it for the carguments and the banter. And the pretty. So much pretty.
While a lot of Danny's actions in this ep felt OOC to me, I do think a lot of it was due to lazy writing and bending the character to fit plot contrivances. And in my frustration, I tend to overlook the fact that in the end, Danny didn't leave. Because Steve needed him. I need to focus on that.
