Well you are prescient! The scene this season, w/ a, er, gregarious McG as Grace met Danno's doctor, could have morphed into a similar scene. Tho you did an excellent job dealing with, as usual what Show didn't, the repercussions of killing a friend. Just an amazing character study, with one kick ass evening thrown in to boot!

I loved this. Really well done! Danny at his best. This was smart, well-written and generally wonderful!

Thank you!

Danny is a very wise, very smart and very centered person...Steve truly is lucky to have him for a friend. This was a great cap to the episode.

Thank you for going beyond the episode.

Mental health is a reality.

Being faced with the inevitable, the shooting of a friend, takes it's toll even for the "Invincible" Navy SEAL.

Thank you for adding the song lyrics...very appropriate.

great story, love their friendship

Danny is so endearing when he's defending his opinion and talking Steve down from a serious depression. I love them, and this story.

Great glimpse into that episode! I would love to see you continue because you have their relationship pegged. Thanks for sharing!

I like that you have them hashing that out. I wish they'd done more with it in the show, but oh well. So long as they don't get a stupid idea like cutting out the Danny and Steve moments to make room for more "plot," we're good. ;)

Love the way you write the characters, by the way. Especially Danny. I'd bet he can be tricky to write. Plus, those guys are just so darn witty... :D

And this was hysterical: "Insecure housewives are jealous, Steven. Partners are extremely territorial. It's completely different." Funny comparison/contrast!

I just love them! Great job on this and thanks for taking us to the hairy dolphin for round one! I could totally see hurt steve looking out at the beach *sigh* anyway...great job on this and can't wait for more more more and I totally agree with you about the video and agree She would be great at it!

Thanks so much for this look into the guys' first trip to the Hairy Dolphin - I was so hoping you'd write this! Great idea to use the events of Po'ipu as the driving force of this story!

nice one, ridley. :D

poor danny trying to keep the night from being an epic disaster and steve is just *not* helping.

and lol at mo hitting on steve... :D

"I'm top scorer."

"I'm sure you are, Five-O," Mo licked her lips.

one of many very funny parts. thanks for making me laugh. :D

Love this! Very well written, and I love the song. Great job.

Awesome story, as always.

I'm happy that all the alcohol and money that Danny spend was worth it because he got his friend back.

Thank you for filling the blanks that we know are there. Steve almost act like it was nothing but that was an enormous betrayal that Nick did to him.

Loved it! Just what I needed in this summer hiatus! I'm always interested in what happens off screen and your tags flesh out the story. And well, I'm impressed that he was able to bring someone down with his pinky finger after all that booze. Steve might be the superhero but what Danny does is no easy feat either, haha. Always looking out for him, with eyes like a hawk. Well, I guess all I can say is I'm really happy you joined the Hawaii-Five-O fandom because you're one of the best ff writers out there!

I really enjoyed this episode tag. I loved Danny's pov very spot on. I was so glad when Danny finally got Steve to talk.

Thanks so much for sharing! :)
