During Flight 828[]

Several months after the disappearance of Flight 828 and soon after the death of his wife, Nina, Danny starts going to a group with people who have lost spouses. One day a woman named Grace Stone comes and talks about losing her husband and son and says that she wishes someone would tell her that she looked like hell, which he then obliges. About two years after the disappearance he comes over to her house as a date where she makes meatloaf, believing that he and Olive Stone, (her daughter) love it. Danny and Olive bond over the fact that neither of them actually like the meal. Danny discovers that it was actually her missing brother Cal's favorite and tries to comfort her. She is intransigent over the fact that he is alive and storms out of the room. Danny's relationship with Grace only grows with time and eventually she decides to throw out everything belonging to Cal and her husband Ben. Olive and Danny decide to keep them in storage without Grace's knowledge. Some time later Danny and Olive start to train so that she can climb Acadia, though he doesn't know it is mostly so she can spend time with him. ("Unclaimed Baggage", "S.N.A.F.U.")

After Flight 828[]

Danny tries to keep in contact with Grace but Grace brushes him off. When Olive gets caught shoplifting at a makeup store and she was told to call her dad, she called Danny instead of Ben. Ben shows up to pick Olive up and sees Danny with her. They have an awkward exchange and Danny leaves. Danny informs Grace about the shoplifting though Olive had made Ben promise not to tell her mum. Danny shows up at the house one day to talk to Grace about Olive and shows how much he cares about the family as they had been living as one till the day Ben came back.
