Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have no problem seeing TK trash rooms or beat up players within the framework of a woman or game-related beef, but civilians? That's a big jump. He was a hothead but I didn't think he'd take it that far.

But why would Nico come get the team therapist in the middle of the night because TK was shot? Out of all the various team management staff, why the therapist?

We don't know she was the first or only one he got. TK might be conscious, etc, and could to with someone to talk to.

I just can't see a pre-therapy TK being able to walk away from someone taunting him that badly or that persistently, but I could be wrong.

I think the fact that he didn't argue or posture or threaten was sense of his progress, not the fact that he didn't hit him.

Compassionately intolerant

I was really impressed with how he dealt with the heckler, dammit. And now look what happened.

My reaction precisely.

I don't think Dani could handle Nico, though I'd love to live vicariously through whomever he ends up with...except for that ghastly Owner!Wife. ick. I'd give him credit for better sense.

Trust my rage

I think early in the season, TK hit a civilian heckler with a cell phone in a club. So I thought the last scene was a callback to that one.

I think the show is setting up Dani and Nico as friends. Although I think they have chemistry together, in part because he seems to inherently trust her, which is so unusual for him.

This is the thing I find most attractive about him. The others want what she offers, but they doubt her...and/or make 'head shrinking' jokes. Nico seems to have complete and solid faith in her. He also, unquestioningly, has her back. Another wildly attractive feature.

I've been trying to remember, and I believe he has a history of doing that, more than once. The team's handlers just pay off whoever he hits to make it go away (he made comments to her about it early in the show.) So he has made a lot of progess, but no, he has not always regarded civilians as off-limits.
