Danny's been trying to think up some way to try and mend the bridge between him and Steve. It's not that it's destroyed or damaged, but going home and seeing his father being taken from him like that (and seeing Danny taken as well) has got to leave a kind of mark in the brain. Steve's acting like he's fine, but when Danny himself has been having trouble sleeping and can't seem to manage to find a state of peace, he knows that drastic measures are necessary.

Drastic, in this case, involves a pigskin.

Danny's got the ball in his hands and is tossing it up and down, thinking of the last time he played -- which he thinks was Thanksgiving at home with Matt and his three sisters, when they all ganged up on him (even Matt) and somehow Danny was meant to win just him and their father. Sure, they didn't manage to pull out a victory, but they'd put up a good fight.

He'd left a note at the hut for Steve to come down to the volleyball net by the beach and Danny's wearing very little. His t-shirt is tucked into the back pocket of his board shorts and shows off a tan, which matches the brightness of his hair. It's all further evidence that he's been on some kind of island for far, far too long.
