City Primeval/Season 7[]
Dan is mentioned in passing in "City Primeval." When Raylan Givens finds himself in Detroit, Michigan, enlisted to hunt someone who car-bombed a judge named Alvin Guy, he protests. He tells Lou Whitman, the U.S. Marshal in charge there, that Dan won't okay it. Lou, however, replies that Dan's words were "Take him. I don't need him."
In "The Question," Raylan attends a retirement party for Dan in Florida. After the party, Dan talks with Raylan, saying that he's never seen anything like it, that Raylan stepped in a pile of shit in Detroit, yet once again scraped it off his boot and got his man. He tells him that his pay bump is well deserved and to take it from him that it'll go a long way towards his pension. "Listen, I'm sorry to do this..." starts Raylan, but Dan cuts him off, telling him that he knows what he's going to say. He says that they've had their ups and downs. He says that they've come a long way and if he had something to do with Raylan becoming a better law enforcement officer or man, then he's happy about it. He says that he never thought Raylan would be ready for the big chair, but that there's something different about him and that if he's asking if he'd be willing to recommend he finish his career as a chief, he'd be happy to. Raylan replies that this wasn't what he was going to say at all. "Dan... I quit," he tells him, laying down his badge.
