I also enjoyed Daniel's scenes with Jen...well, Daniel's side of it anyway. It made me more convinced than ever that Jen needs a few sessions with Marlena, to say the least. There are things I still like about Jen, though they are getting fewer and farther between--but these tantrums and overdramatic behavior have got to go. And why would she want to date someone who she doesn't want to tell ANYTHING to and who she thinks needs her protection constantly anyway???
I love that Nicole refuses to give up on repairing her friendship with Daniel now that she's un-turned her back on it. I wish though that the writers hadn't made it look like Daniel forgave her for everything including all the lies and saying she wished she had killed him on Smith Island, only to make it that he's angry about it all. Why do they keep changing people's opinions at the last second just to make Nicole more isolated? It's contrived and annoying.
It would have been much better if Daniel had said something like, "You said you didn't want to be friends, so we're not. You cannot just switch our friendship on and off like that. Now leave me alone." In my mind it would make more sense for him to be upset over the way she treated him during her angry phase than over the whole shredded evidence mess--after all, if he was done with her when she lied about him to Eric, why did he continue to try to save her from herself instead of cutting off their friendship then and going straight to Eric?
I also think it's interesting that Marlena supposedly "knew" Nicole was up to no good because she can "read people" but she 100% believes Theresa's story that Brady attacked John, whereas Nicole immediately made a face upon hearing Theresa is involved and also correctly intuited what was going on with Daniel.
