Yeah, that's basically what I think too (maybe my last comment didn't show that enough?). Vala was the catalyst for sure, and her actions in that scene are just the right (or would it be wrong?) thing for him b/c he is such an emotional wreck that it sets him off like that. And Daniel can be one insufferable asshole when he's in a mood!
But the beauty of it is he SEES that he did go too far (though it was what VALA needed to let her guard down), yet Vala is still receptive to him afterwards. It's like her way of showing him she understands (kinda like their scene in Daniel's quarters in Ties that Bind).
That shows just how much of a GREAT scene it is in terms of their relationship b/c there are SO many ways to interpret it - the way it went down was so perfect. And it's justifying to know it was ultimately Michael and Claudia's choice because honesty, I can't imagine it going down the way it was originally intended.
It did have to happen - for their relationship to grow and mature, it had to happen!
