With
Michelle gone, Danny grew closer to Marina Cooper, who was watching Robbie.
Over the next few weeks, their friendship turned into a mutual attraction. Then
the night that Danny kissed Marina under the mistletoe, he got a strange call
from Michelle who kept calling him "dad", mentioned Sebastian Hulce,
and then hung up. Although he tried to dismiss it as Michelle calling the wrong
number, something about the call kept gnawing him. Wanting some answers, since
he knew how much Robbie missed his mother, Danny went to Blake and asked why
Michelle would be mentioning Sebastian. (who was Blake's brother) Blake then
told him the entire truth about Michelle's trip--Michelle had gone on an excursion
to Santo Domingo with Sebastian and Blake's mother, Holly. Concerned for Michelle,
Danny went to Santo Domingo, with Marina volunteering to come along. At the
hotel in Santo Domingo, Danny found Tony and decked him for taking advantage
of Michelle when she was only trying to find out who she really was. But Tony
explained the situation--that Sebastian had kidnapped Holly and Michelle and
was holding them hostage in exchange for them finding Ed who could develop a
cure to save his life.
