DJRubberducky:
I just have one generic observation about Marten's mom's conduct and whether it's gonna UNLEASH THE STORM OF RAGE that everyone's hoping for:
Let's please remember that Marten's mother is a professional dominatrix in addition to being a fetish model.
Moreover, she's been at this for over a decade, perhaps going on two by this point.
While I willingly confess only a passing experience with BDSM in my own life, I've been around folks who are part of that community, and heard them sing praises and fling curses. And from all that, I've pieced together that Ms. Reed would not have lasted this long as a professional if she did not possess some skill in reading people. While "the lifestyle" actually requires a fair amount of up-front communication, that only rarely comes easily to someone who's new to it, and I would guess Ms. Reed has handled her fair share of "newbies".
The reason I say all this is that I remain fairly confident that Marten's mom knows where her boy's buttons and boundaries are. There might be one or two new things that have blossomed since he moved away, but usually the fundamentals stay the same.

Wiregeek:
I can happily wipe my ass with most of Supor Stupor, but that plotline right there made me laugh quite heartily and quite frequently.
I am VERY looking forward to this plot point! I have a sneaking suspicion that MartenMom is intentionally setting up a Marten Rage Bomb that she can catch and cope with, to prevent him from lashing out at any of his peer group...
Looking forward to the boom!

I agree with Delator's post. In some way Marten will find out and regardless of what his mother says or does he will be at least upset with her.
I think what Veronica is doing here is very inappropriate, why has no one else brought this up? Her son just broke up with this girl, and there is no reason for her to add to the pain in this situation. It's not like;
a) she cheated on Marten
b) she stole anything of Marten's
I don't think Marten will get into a "rage", but I do feel he will be assertive for once, insisting it's his break-up and his Mum has crossed the line by going to see his ex.
I think as much as Dora needs counseling, Marten does too.
It will be really interesting to see what happens when Dora gets counseling. I would love it if she has to go and see each of her ex's to confront them about their behaviour, or even if she just gets in touch with her old crowd.
Having a "seven evil ex" thread would be fun, where you find these former macho-goths are now mellowed out. (Possibly). Plus if there would be any reason for Hanners to meet someone with a nose ring and freak out, I am for it.

Um, you know Hanners has a number of piercings, right? Granted, they're all in her ears, but she's stated that piercings themselves aren't freakout material.
The only way she'd flip is if she saw an infected nose piercing. Heck, I get a bit queasy about stuff like that.
