They seem to do that whenever someone Danny's close to from his past is threatened or something. The same thing happened in the ep last season when Danny's ex-partner in HPD, Meka, was shot to death & his body burned beyond recognition in the pig imu (pig roasting pit) at a luau.
In that ep, Danny drove a guy they needed information from & who wouldn't talk (played by Bronson Pinchot, who was Cousin Balki in the old TV show Perfect Strangers) around the parking levels of what appeared to be a circular parking structure at a very high rate of speed, while tied to the hood of the Camaro. And Steve was in the passenger seat the whole time, calmly telling Danny he couldn't do that & the next time Steve did something like that he should get a free pass from Danny for it--'cause Danny never lets him get away with stuff like that, 'cause it's against normal police procedure (though I think the point is that it may be against police procedure but it's possibly NOT against SEAL procedure, which is why Steve always does it/did it in the 1st
It's one thing when Danny gets a little too involved when a case involves people he cares about, but he's been escalating, to the point that a couple of episodes ago Chin said Danny had been hanging around with Steve too long. I'm starting to wonder if he won't be a cop by the time the season ends.
Don't get me wrong, last night's episode was excellent in demonstrating how good an actor Scott Caan is. But this steady degrading of Danny's character from a mostly-by-the-book cop to almost-a-vigilante is a little depressing.
