It is odd to some non smokers but I have come across smokers who if they have no cigarettes even for just overnight they cannot sleep, get all irritated,jumpy and get worked up as to the smallest things.
Next day they are fine with a ciggie.

It sounds like Dan needs a cigarette. He does overdo the drama at times but I can also see how he is and why he is so at present.
It has been a stressful week in there for most of them.
He could learn how to deal with any stress from Dexter to be honest, Dexter has had what should have been endless stress in there but has just rode it through.

Together,he and Dan could be really formidable as housemates, in my opinion anyway.
