I agree, no one special, if Dora gives Marten anything more than an "Oh, okay, that makes sense, I'm sorry." reaction, he needs to call her on her bullshit.
He and (especially) Faye did absolutely nothing wrong, and if Dora can't deal with Marten's relationship, which predates her and Marten, with Faye, who is supposedly her best friend, then Marten should seriously consider whether he should DTMFA.
And if Dora really is that insecure, maybe she needs some time with Dr. Corrine.
Border Reiver:
While everyone's going off on how unrealistic it is for Dora to be a little suspicious at the situation think for half a second:
a. She is somewhat insecure about here relationship, no real reason but then everbody's got some sort of hangup, her's is this;
b. She wakes up in the middle of the night and finds her boyfriend and the girl he had the hots for in a hug (which we can see is platonic, but Dora doesn't have the benefit of our angle) and neither is wearing pants;
c. She knows that he "Still has feelings" for;
d. How rational are you within 5 minutes of waking up?
I'm figuring 2-3 strips of hilarilious misunderstanding, followed by making up.
raoullefere:
Actually, I think Dora's kidding.

I believe trash can, is the most widely used Americanism in this situation, but ash can is acceptable as a regional/temporal variation.

I believe the word "ashcan" is a remnant from the time when folks heated their houses exclusively with stoves and fireplaces, and would thus need a fireproof container to dispose of potentially hot ashes. A cylindrical steel receptacle with a tight fitting lid would serve that purpose nicely. When not needed for ash duty, it could hold all manner of other contents, for instance, household refuse.
And before this thread becomes the Wikipedia article for waste receptacle, I'll just say that I wouldn't recommend using a modern plastic garbage container for fireplace duty.
