Also, I don't think Danny was giving 'orders' to Clara at the end, he was just starting his relationship boundaries. It's sadly rare in TV/movies to see people being openly communicative about their emotional boundaries, which is a super-healthy thing in relationships in reality. So I was so glad to see it here for once, especially after how much Clara has already betrayed Danny in their relationship. He's trying to not be a doormat with her going forward and I totally respect that. π€·ββοΈ

Plus, honestly, and I guess it's open for debate, but I don't think Danny 'started' the animosity, the Doctor did: with his inability to grasp the simple fact that Danny is a Math(s) teacher and not a PE teacher upon their first meeting (which I believe is a soldier joke, but comes off as a bit classist and racist, but whatev). Danny is just someone who pushes back against being talked down to, which I personally like. It's like with Donna when she said things like: 'Listen, I don't know what sort of kids you've been flying round with in outer space, but you're not telling me to shut up' in 'Fires of Pompeii'. Sometimes the Doctor needs to reminded that he's being a bit of a jerk and that's all Danny is doing in my opinion. Now obviously, as the audience, we know Danny's also got it a bit wrong to some degree -- we know that there's more nuance to the Doctor, but that's information that Danny doesn't know yet. So basically Danny can only work with what he knows and assume the Doctor's character by how he treats him and, frankly, from moment one, the Doctor treats him like trash. So, yeah, in short, I don't blame him for getting upset with the Doctor and having it out with him. The Doctor kinda deserved it! π€·ββοΈ
