But the elder Stevens tipped into maddening status during the second season.
Acting out is a teenage rite of passage that adds to the irritation levels, and Danny is far more reactionary in his late twenties than he ever was while on his first summer break from Annapolis. Now he is popping Oxycodone and Dextroamphetamine on Mars like its candy. To understand why he is acting like such a shit in the present, we must travel back to his summer job at the Outpost bar.
