Episode evidence explicitly supports Danny sneaking painkillers out of the office supply for a friend.
Danny gets caught sneaking out the office supply of painkillers for his troublemaker childhood friend Stevie, who has instant chemistry with Mindy.

Mindy says "yes," but immediately begins to plot ways to ruin Heather's rental application.
