FAVORITE OTP: DANNY AND LEXI AND THEIR MANY EXCITING ADVENTURES
If there’s one thing I know, it’s that I love a good TV love story. Sadly, most follow typical patterns and rarely break out from those molds. In the short-lived CBS/Paramount show Blood and Treasure, nothing is reinvented, but for a modern show, the romance is interesting. This is what inspires today’s writeup which is celebrating the romance of Blood and Treasure’s Danny and Lexi, because yes these two share some solid moments, even in the two short years we knew them.

FAVORITE OTP: DANNY AND LEXI AND THEIR MANY EXCITING ADVENTURES. Looking back on the #Romance of #BloodandTreasure's Danny and Lexi. #TVCouple #TVRomance Share on XThe show was a summer filler that followed a former FBI agent turned lawyer (played by Matt Barr), who is drawn back into the world of antiquities and intrigue when he’s tasked with tracking down a stolen relic that turns out to be in the hands of a terrorist, a case he was once heavily involved in. Of course, before Danny McNamara can complete this job, he must find Lexi Vaziri (Sofia Pernas), a master thief who was once a part of Danny’s case, as well as being half of his heart. The pair didn’t part well, and Lexi is still up to her usual hijinks where Danny has been the only one to catch her.
Driving this show is more of an adventure (it’s kind of what I’d imagine Romancing the Stone would be like or the feature The Lost City is like) over anything else, but there is still romance and best of all, I think most of it is grown-up rather than dramatic. There are certainly still drama moments, but overall, it’s a good romance, especially in a modern show. Today we want to put a spotlight on a few of their best moments.
THE ROMANCE of BLOOD and TREASURE’S DANNY and LEXI
COMFORT
THE EPISODE: Season One, Episode 8
In the aftermath of Lexi learning a life-changing secret about her mother, Danny finds her contemplating this secret and its effect. He’s there to comfort her with words and offer her a necklace that could help her learn the whole truth. When she wonders out loud about the wisdom of digging deeper and its likelihood of making things messy, Danny confirms that her choice to pursue this will undoubtedly make things messy. But whatever happens, they’ll face it together. They seal this moment with a sweet kiss.
…and this comes after ups and downs in their reunion and eventual rekindled romance in season one.
LET DOWN
THE EPISODE: Season Two, Episode 3
Because of his past, Danny has a hang-up over the fact that he may be let down or someone he loves will leave. This is a recurring theme through the stories, particularly in season two, and so through the episodes, it also becomes a bit of a sticking point between the couple. It’s why, even as they’re about to face danger (and possible death!) in pursuit of a clue, Danny tries to convince Lexi to stay behind because of his love for her. She stubbornly refuses, telling him that she’s not going to leave or let him down. She’s here and she wants to remain by his side. romance of blood and treasures danny and lexi
I LOVE YOU
THE EPISODE: Season Two, Episode 4
During one of their (multiple!) near death experiences, Danny and Lex finally say those important words. They admit how much they love each other. They do it in an unconventional way (because how else would they?). There’s a kiss, they tell each other they love each other, joining hands and faced a squad of creepy assassins.

THE EPISODE: Season Two, Episode 9
“Home for me is you. But it is loyalty.” – Lexi
An entire theme of season two (and the final year) is loyalty between Danny and Lexi. They know they love each other, but the arrival of people from their respective past causes them both to ask each other, who would you pick? Which would you choose – your friend… or me? It sometimes feels like there’s one clear obvious choice, but these two are at least asking the questions and while it takes them a while, they get there starting with a conversation they share while a beautiful sun sets in the distance. Lexi tells him that there’s been only two important people in her life, “two people that she would kill for.” Reeling from the loss of one of these people, she gets vulnerable and tells Danny, she needs to know that he’ll have her “back” as they do this thing called life. She talks about what she doesn’t care about like the “stupid” picket fence, but that “Home for me is you. But it is loyalty.” He kisses her hand and tells her he will always have her back, and no matter what comes they’ll handle it…
SACRIFICE
THE EPISODE: Season Two, Episode 13
Everything comes to a head in a life-and-death (yes, another one) situation that will test everything these two have promised to each other. Together, they face the foe they’ve chased all of season two, and the second person Lexi would die for. It all comes down to him… or her. During the confrontation, Danny suffers fatal wounds and left to keep them alive by herself, Lexi does what she needs to do. Crying she stumbles to Danny’s side. Cradling him in her lap she begs him to stay with her. Regretfully Danny tells her he wishes he’d asked her that most important question. Lexi tells him she’d have said yes. They make promises and vows, and Lexi tells him in some cultures they’re now married. All seems lost, Danny losses the battle he’s fighting, and Lexi is left holding him…
…then the scene flashes to a time jump and we see a healthy and smiling Danny with his love, Lexi. The pair flirt, look happy, and get a clue that would ideally send them on a new adventure where they will continue to be each other’s best ally.
