Not trying to belittle anyone's points, but Dora's hardly just crashing with Marten rent-free. He invited her to move in and if he was just going to use the apartment as something that he could hold over her "Hey, it's MY apartment", then I think that would make him the jerk.

And yes, she's being terrible right now, but sometimes you are terrible and everyone has been the asshole in a fight at some point. She's overreacting, but her overreaction is not without roots at all. It was her boyfriend (in his underwear) holding her best friend (in her underwear) in the middle of the night and chances are ever since Faye decided that she was date-ready again there was a nagging fear that Marten would go back to his "first choice". Yes, that is a dumb and insecure feeling, but we've all had them. Everyone has felt not good enough at some point. She should absolutely seek out therapy and eventually apologize, but she should not be repeatedly insulted or be kicked out of what is now her own apartment too.

SPOILER: The whole week will be the most disturbing relationship drama until friday comes with a EXTREME CLIFFHANGER robot hijinks strip.

I don't get all the Dora-hate.  She just gave Marten implied permission to spend the night with Faye, and even gave Faye the day off so they don't have to stop banging.  What's bitchy about that?

Yes, Faye has been a bitch in the past, but as you said, she's realised this and got over it. Or at least, is working on it. She's also not always been a bitch, some of it has been genuine issues (eg, leading Marten on).

Dora, on the other hand, has regularly come down far too hard on Marten for no real reason. Remember the Cosette thing? Or what about when she freaked out at Faye and Marten when Faye got with Sven. Dora has, completely and utterly, proven that she is incapable about seeing anything Marten (and often Faye) does that she disagrees with as anything other than a personal attack. Which it quite clearly, in this situation and the other, isn't.

Edit: Also, clearly not many people have shared accommodation with people they are neither related to or in a relationship with. Being in your underwear/sleepwear together is hardly unusual.

Good, Marten needs to add a tiny bit of jerk to his personality.  There is laid back, and then there is meaningless.
