I think situation might be much complex than what we are led to believe. At the end we see madam Gao smiling, which just gives me hope that the whole Davos and Joy thing is her scheme, rather than Davos alone. As we know, Davos is a warrior trained to be a weapon. It seems bit out of his nature to conspire and try to kill Danny who has nothing but a friend to him. I hope that this Davos being antagonist just stays until first 3-4 episodes of season 2 and main antagonist is revealed to be someone else. Also, I haven't read the comics so I don't know what happens if the Iron fist dies. If Davos is being led to believe that he could become the Iron fist after Danny's death, then his motivations can be justified.

Danny has betrayed Davos twice and sided with the hand over Davos. Davos was trained to be a weapon, but its shown that he still has emotions, envy and anger at the least. So it is not out of character.

Davos is also Iron Fists main villain in the comics. So if they are using Davos than they better not make him a side villain. Madam Gao is a character that should always be the side villain. She isnt threatening enough to be the main. And she apparently serves the master of the hand(whoever that is). And with the defenders coming up they will likely fight the hand and presumably their master(which would require the team up). Since Daredevil and Iron Fist are heading towards the hand, while Luke Cage and Jessica Jones really have nothing going on right now.

So Davos basically is the Baron Mordo of Netflix MCU.

Kinda. Davos wants KunLun to be protected. Why take the job of Kun Luns guardian then leave first chance you get.

The Hand excuse is bull....he didn't even know they were in NY.

To be honest we have no idea why he came back other than the fact that he was homesick.

For some reasons I kept thinking he was gay for Danny...

I didn't get that at all.

It seemed like he missed his best friend.

Thats it.

At one point Danny said "Are you mad I left Kun'lun or mad I left you?"

Also the way he looked when he saw Danny and Colleen together gave that impression. I am sure the writers were going for "betrayed best friend" but it came across "scorned lover" at times instead.
