In a scene that straddled the line between comedy and tragedy, a stoned dog ate Dan’s donor heart. My initial reaction was laughter, but the più I think about it, the più I realize it was the perfect sposta in this storyline.
Ever since he was released from prison, Dan Scott has been on a road to redemption. He’s tried to atone for his past mistakes, but it hasn’t been easy, nor should it. If he had simply gotten a new heart, it would’ve cheated fans. The new cuore could be used as a metaphor for the changed man Dan has become.
But One albero collina wasn’t interested in an easy fix. Instead, the mostra left him with the rotten, blackened cuore he’s had all along and forced him to change. Through all the lies and deceit Dan has used over the years, that chance to prove himself came when Jamie asked him who killed Keith.
The old Dan would’ve lied o sugar-coated the truth to make himself look better. The new Dan simply told Jamie the truth, even though his grandson is the only person on the mostra who doesn’t completely hate him. It was a difficult decision, but one that allowed him to turn the corner and proved that even though his physical cuore is dying, his emotional cuore is capable of healing.
That newfound strength allowed him to confront his two sons on the pallacanestro, basket court and deliver an amazingly heartfelt speech about how terrible he was, how sorry he is, and how great Lucas and Nathan are. It proved that Dan does have a new heart, even if it’s strictly metaphorical.
Perhaps I’m Leggere too much into it, but I also like to think there are added levels of nuance in the way his donor cuore was destroyed. After the dog ate his heart, Dan went to the spiaggia and yelled at God for all of the challenges he’s been put through. Is it just a coincidence that dog spelled backwards is God?
On a deeper level, One albero collina was saying that God took away Dan’s donor heart, that God was forcing Dan to accept responsibility for who he is. Dan Scott didn’t get a quick fix. A few years in prison o a new cuore weren’t enough to make him a better man. God was testing Dan, forcing him to look at himself, to see who he really is, what’s inside his heart, and own up to that truth.
In the end, there is hope for his future. Jamie’s Sims albero collina featured Dan getting a new cuore while Keith sat successivo to him. In this virtual world, Keith is still alive and he and Dan still Amore each other. Sims albero collina is a symbol of the perfect ending, of Heaven. After all of the horrible things Dan Scott has done, now there is finally hope that he too can have a happy ending.
