In "Galvanize", while searching the school for a mass murderer, Ethan and Aiden stumbled upon Danny making out with his ex-boyfriend. While Aiden laughed and thought the situation was funny, Ethan said "oh really" and was clearly very heartbroken. Danny himself looked a little bit sheepish, and the handsome guy he was making out with turned away in awkward emberassment.

I can't help feel sorry for Ethan. Despite the fact that he took an antagonistic role in the first part of Season Three (mainy because of orders from Deucalion and the rest of the Alpha Pack), it was obvious that his original mission of subduing Danny to get information on Scott did not go as planned, for he developed such a close bond with the human that he wanted to become a better person.

It's obvious that during their time as the self-proclaimed "bitches" of the Alpha Pack, neither Ethan or Aiden were allowed the oppurtunity to have romantic interests, for they were always on the move and believed that love would stand in the way of Deucalion's plans. Everything changed for Ethan upon meeting Danny, however, who he first caught the immediate attention of in the library of Beacon Hills High. Their meeting grew deeper when Aiden beat Ethan to frame Scott and get him into trouble, from which it was Danny who immediately came to Ethan's aid.

While a majority of their relationship was off-screen, their brief moments together were sweet and sentimental, showing how deepy Ethan really cared for Danny:

1.) When they were on a school field trip and bunked together in the same hotel room. While showing compassion for Danny (and possibly about to make love to him), Ethan noticed scars from a surgery which he took the time to learn about, peering into Danny's eyes as he spoke and lovingly smiling at him. Ethan asked Danny that if there was a way to get rid of his scars, would he accept it? Danny said that he wouldn't, as he considered them a reminder that he survived. Ethan responded "I really hope you do", strongly implying that he wanted to turn Danny into a werewolf so that they could remain together. Whether or not he planned to give Danny the bite in heat of the moment is unknown, as their time together was interrupted by hallucinations caused by the Darach.

In this same episode, Danny once again rushed to Ethan's aid after a fight with Isaac, concerned for Ethan's health and well-being.

2.) At Danny's band concert in the school, Ethan was the one who prepped Danny and got him prepared, kindly offering him mints as well as tying his tie for him. He became glossy-eyed when telling Danny that should anything go wrong, Danny should look for him immediately, showing that Ethan wanted no harm to come to Danny and that he sought to protect him.

3.) Ethan rushed Danny to the hospital when he was poisoned by mistletoe, shouting for help the moment he got there and supporting Danny's weight with his own. He was obviously extremely devastated at what was happening, and even immediately conveyed Deucalion's intentions to Scott afterward, implying that he refused to be an ally of the Demon Wolf if it meant Danny would get hurt.
