I think that's what "the last Thing D needs" means. Not the final piece. Rather, what people mean when they say "The last thing X needs is Y", they mean that X does not need Y. I make mention of this because the GP comment says the last thing D needs and you say "Not at all" and then go on to say effectively that the last thing D needs is Scott. So, a lot of confusion in terms of wording, I think.

It's one of those tricky phrases that throws off foreign speakers. Many English learners would assume "the last thing X needs is Y" would mean "eventually X will need Y".
