The funny thing is, if they just changed the last 5 minutes to Danny realising he’s being an idiot and about to lose someone he really likes because he’s embarrassed by his pals teasing him, and said “Alright listen here arseholes, this is the girl I met on holiday and this is who she was when we had that great time together… I like her as she is and if you’ve got a problem wif that you can DO ONE”, apologised to her and said he doesn’t want her to change, and they go off and sit together and have a nice sandwich…

…then the whole thing would be fine and actually a good message about not caving to peer pressure.
