#danny WANTS keys but he doesn't have them. steve is danny's top of the doorframe

some combination of @actingcamplibrarian's advent calendar fic (hidden in plain sight) and @redgoldblue's recent due south watch has got me thinking about starsky and hutch's hutch canonically not carrying the key to his own apartment but hiding it on top of the doorframe vs. due south's rayk in mountie on the bounty naming the whole bundle of keys he's carrying, telling fraser that the ones he's holding up are, in order, the keys to his old car, to his apartment, to his old apartment, to his locker, and "don't know. ... don't know", meaning that at any time he has at least six keys on him of which four are either obsolete or entirely a mystery, and that's while they were looking for a seventh key (to ray's handcuffs). i don't have a point here except i guess. the blond part of a buddy cop duo. he'll either carry zero keys (bad) or ALL the keys (also unfortunate).

okay, i'm going to copy my tags into the body of the post, because they've become important context as i've worked this out in a highly scientific way:

#leaves one to wonder where h50's danny rates on this scale #we know he has a key to steve's house at least. so i guess that would put him closer to ray for. you know. having keys on him at all #i know the camaro keys are a big mystery but i would assume that he's not in possession of them very often #there's the one episode where he and steve do therapy and he gives steve a guitar and then steve ceremoniously hands him the keys #to let him drive. so maybe danny is the perfect middle? #danny WANTS keys but he doesn't have them. steve is danny's top of the doorframe #do NOT read that without the last three words i was NOT making a joke this is extremely serious media analysis

so, keeping that in mind, here's the BPOACDKCAC (Blond Part Of A Copaganda Duo Key Carrying Alignment Chart):

and obviously, now the follow-up questions to fuel further research are... who is our missing mystery man blond part of a copaganda duo who is just so Perfect, just so Content, just so Well-Organized and on top of extremely pedestrian home security measures (i won't name names, hutch), that he fills our much-desired carries keys / has enough keys square? does such an exemplary man exist (on television fictionally in a buddy cop show with blond hair)??
