Well no, thats why routes exsist. The reason people push dave towards dean is for their own benefit really.
Examples: tysons confused and planning to leave but wants someone to look out for dave or orlando not being able to be there for dave and wants him to be with someone before he goes.
Other than that the only thing the story pushes is if you're not on deans route you get pushed to clear the air and clearly tell him where you stand.
