True, but it sounds like she's been telling Stan that she's trying to work things out, or at the very least, not telling him that she's sure enough things are over to be starting up her relationship with Danny again.
I get that Danny wanted to fix things for Rachel, especially once she told him that she was pregnant. However, he already knew that someone was trying to frame Steve -- I'm pretty sure that they found out Steve's prints were all over Leah's house before Danny went to Sand Island -- and that Steve was planning to break into the governor's residence that night. The feces may not have hit the air circulation unit yet, but it should have been painfully obvious that a "SPLAT" was in the near future.
I understand that Danny was blind-sided by a bunch of stuff this episode, and he was trying to do right by all of his family. However, because he couldn't take the time to think, he ended up making things a lot worse for everyone. I dunno, maybe he was trying too hard not to put his job before his family again? (Sorry, I'm thinking out some of this as I type because I really like most of the characters and want to put their actions in a better light, but mostly I want to just shake some sense into all of them right now. Darn it, I don't want to spend the season break being grumpy with these guys!)
Every episode feels rushed to me.
For me, it wasn't so much the pace of this episode specifically as the setting up Subplot A in one episode and ignoring it, setting up Subplot B a couple of episodes later and ignoring it, setting up Subplot C a little later yet and ignoring it, and so on. Then, in the season finale, they pile on every loose end from the entire fricking season.
I just let the ridiculous cases and plot holes wash over me while I wait for the next Steve/Danny scene.
Good point -- we're not exactly watching it for the plot. ;> Sorry if I'm over-analyzing. Like I said, I like the characters, and I do like the show. The last two episodes were just really frustrating for me because they would have been epic bromance material if it hadn't been for the Rachel/Danny stuff. That hug at the end of ep.23 could have completely eclipsed the heart-hands scene as fic-fodder if people weren't trying to reconcile it with Rachel and Danny getting back together. Sigh.
In other people's news, I don't know if you've seen zarah5's No Place Left to Run (http://zarah5.livejournal.com/72984.html) yet, but it's one of the better follow-ups I've read so far. She does a pretty good take on both Rachel's and Danny's thoughts.
