Why wouldn't she have mentioned the Equinox and then he could have scheduled around it? Seems like that might be why he's so mad. Obviously she was excited about the Equinox, why wouldn't she have mentioned it sooner?
I think part of the anger/frustration could also be attributed to the fact that Bree is so "sheltered" and so involved with a religion that Daniel doesn't understand and that she might not either. Not to mention that what he does know he thinks is creepy..........
I think he knows a little about her religion, he said before that he'd been to the camp with her, and this last time they asked him to "come back". So I'm betting that the "robes" remark was literal.
So some of you guys are talking about there being "peer pressure" from Daniel to shy away from her [Bree's] religious beliefs. Well, what if she has indeed known about both events (the dinner and the equinox) for a while and as it came down to it, was forced or had some sort of "peer pressure" from her parents or someone else in her religion (or perhaps someone else participating in the ceremony?). Maybe it's not truly her fault or Daniel's fault.
I'm still not sure how much pressure her parents are relaying onto her. Do they really know so much about the ceremony? Yeah, her dad is doing the bibliomancy. And obviously they know some about the ultra secret ceremony because it's "a great honor".
Basically, I don't think Daniel is a drama queen nor do I think it's totally Bree's fault for cancelling and crushing Daniel's heart. At least this time.
I would think that maybe her parents "forced" her to go too, except that she seemed sooooo excited about going. She was definately excited about the holiday, it didn't seem like she was being forced to go by anyone (although I'm betting that her parents would make her go even if she didn't want to).
I don't necesarily think the disagreement between Bree and Daniel is anyones "fault" myself, but I do think it is because Bree hasn't been very socially involved with people before (because of homeschool and moving from country to country) and maybe she just honestly doesn't understand the "rules" of friendship and dating (i.e. standing people up when you knew to begin with that you wouldn't show etc.)
Maybe that was the reason for the emphasis on the YOU in the video. He might have understood more if her parents had forced her, but she was excited and she made the choice. Thus, "I didnt think YOU could do this to me."
Or the fact that she is his best friend. Or somebody else had done it to him before, but he couldnt believe that she would do that. I dunno. This is going in circles.

He's acting like the more dependent party in the relationship. Bree's lonely but strong. Daniel has ties (maybe) but acts weaker.

Agreed.
Daniel is just "uncomfortable, Daniel is always uncomfortable". Plus, he probably realizes what a score it is to have someone as smart/funny/quirky/cool/pretty as Bree interested in you. It's probably freaking him out. He's over-thinking.
In sum, he's a boy. He'll get over it. But will it be too late?
I would have bet any amount of money that Daniel would have replied to Bree's last video tonight...guess my butt would've been broke as hell cuz clearly I was wrong. This sucks, I hate the days when we don't get anything.
