Having Joe ask Danny to ask Steve to stop looking for Doris is both utterly disgusting (more people trying to manipulate Steve for their own ends) and utterly hilarious (from an outsiders perspective Steve does whatever Danny says)
And we have definitely seen Steve and Danny completely change their initial course of action when the other asks (Iβm thinking of the βIβm gonna go home and restβ scene from I think season 7 and then just a few episodes ago Danny told Steve it was insane to negotiate with terrorists to get Cath back and Steve said βbut Danny this is reminding me of the time the terrorists killed my dad π₯Ίβ AND THEN DANNY ROLLED WITH IT IMMEDIATELY ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND ALL) but having an outsider who is hardly ever in Hawaii to actually witness this behavior say βoh Iβll ask Danny to ask Steve the notoriously stubborn to change his mind that will totally workβ is actually insane. Weβre supposed to believe these two arenβt together? Weβre supposed to believe they arenβt madly in love?
And I love that Danny said βum βοΈ noβ
This is why Steve trusts him more than anyone else. Danny puts Steveβs best interest first every time. Danny also does not want Steve hung up on the Doris thing but what he isnβt gonna do is let someone else try and control Steve through him.
