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 (I’m thinking of the “I’m gonna go home and rest” 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 “but Danny this is reminding me of the time the terrorists killed my dad 🥺” 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 “oh I’ll ask Danny to ask Steve the notoriously stubborn to change his mind that will totally work” is actually insane. We’re supposed to believe these two aren’t together? We’re supposed to believe they aren’t madly in love?
And I love that Danny said “um ☝️ no”
This is why Steve trusts him more than anyone else. Danny puts Steve’s best interest first every time. Danny also does not want Steve hung up on the Doris thing but what he isn’t gonna do is let someone else try and control Steve through him.
