I think what's helping JK's redemption process is how Dan is reacting to him. Though there is clearly emotional damage still it's not. It's like Dan is a reflection of how people around him treats him and he doesn't hold grudges and continues to show love he just gets confused on what's appropriate and he's trying not to upset anyone, but still be there for them. He's forgiving even if it means his demise. He's only awkward around JK because he's used to JK acting a certain way so it just seems Dan is a little scarred. Dan is tough and to me he represents something deep in life. The purest of love. To love someone at their bad, their good and their ugly... Cause JK is one of those "hardest to love" individuals...
