We can speculate until the cows come home about why Dan hasn't shown up for over a week. We can speculate about why Scrap Yard hasn't released a production knife in over 4 months. We can speculate about the meaning of Dan's gibberish. But the pure fact is, we don't know ANYTHING and we won't know ANYTHING until someone who does know decides to tell us.

As much as we might like Dan to communicate with us, we have to remember that this is his house and he makes the rules. We aren't entitled to ANYTHING in Dan's house, not even the courtesy of a communication from him.

All we can do is wait and see what happens.
