What's with all the fretting? The writers are pretty much giving us everything we've asked for with this ep:
1. Danny development/Danny in a tough, emotional situation
2. Good material for Carmine to work with
3. A moving story
4. No Lindsay in the Danny storyline to muck it up with her self-absorbtion
5. Danny crying (he does it so well! And it's so funny when
midnight makes fun of him for it.
)
What more could we ask for?
This episode sounds fantastic.
And no, I don't think they're going for romance between Danny and the mother. This is about a heatbreaking time for Danny, not about who he's getting it on with. And thank goodness--it's nice to see a story that focuses on Danny, period, because what makes him such a fascinating, complex character has nothing to do with romance.
