Dave and his wife were cooking meth when it exploded. Marla and their son, Brian, were injured in the blast and were taken to the ER. Dave was upset because Brian wouldn't stop crying after the explosion. After labs showed that Brian had crystal meth in his system, he had Laura stay with them so he wouldn't be alone with Brian. Callie Torres ordered him to call social services to handle the situation, but he confronted Dave when Dave wondered why Brian wouldn't stop crying, saying he couldn't stop crying because the meth had fried his system. Dave punched Alex and took Brian.
