Why this must be read: If you're someone who's been in a long term relationship, then suddenly find yourself without a partner, it's a strange feeling. Even stranger is the realization that maybe your tall, dark, and slightly crazy male partner is coming on to you. Danny needs to take a few minutes (and a couple of sheets of Lisa Frank stationery) to figure out what he wants ... and if, in the long run, it's the same thing that Steve wants.


So apparently Steve McGarrett was making a pass at him. Thing is, okay, Danny doesn't really have any perspective on this kind of situation; he married Rachel straight out of high school and then it was eleven long, emotionally draining years before he looked up and suddenly he was in Hawaii, surrounded by beautiful people in negligible amounts of clothing who couldn't be bothered to give him the time of day.

After the first week he called Lydia—a lesbian from high school that had been his wife's friend first but his friend best, a Princeton alum who insisted on talking like every moment of her life was an audition for Jersey Shore—who said, "Oh, babycakes," and "You're trying too hard, Danny," and "Bitch, relax, you have to let your aura of despair and desperation dissipate a little first." So basically Danny hasn't had sex with anyone but his ex-wife since he was 17 years old, and now there is Steve, who is crazy and an adrenaline junkie and absolutely nothing like her, and also a dude.
