The fact that we're speculating on what the #### she means in all this is indication enough that Jeph is a better scriptwriter than even we want to let on.

Eh, she's a lot like my dad so far, and I'm still taking it relatively lightheartedly. It involves kind of stepping out of my own head and looking at it from an outside perspective, but once I do it becomes less...mm. Painful to watch, I guess.
Though part of me suspects that this is Veronica's subtle little knife in Faye's gut for rejecting her son after letting him ride Faye's Emotional Roller Coaster (not that that's Faye's fault, in my opinion). Moms can be like that, I've heard, for their little boys. Heck, she was willing to go to prison for taking out Dora (joke or not, if Marten actually said yes? I think she'd have done it). This is downright tame in comparison.

Magnificent. This should be the new name for Faye.

That would be a fantastic T-shirt! A picture of Faye perhaps wearing a cute little indie headband with a flower on it, scowling, with both fists up like Rocky Balboa.

It seems to me thinking back on Veronica's previous appearances in the comic that we have seen examples of her current
types of behaviour, but like most of the QC cast she is complex and there are other sides to her personality there as well.
To me it seems that Jeph is showing us this side of Veronica in such georgeous detail in order to flesh out Marten's back-story
(who is a much more major character).
People have been going on forever in this forum about Marten havin door-mat tendancies, This no longer just looks like a random character flaw but something rooted in issues from his childhood and makes me think that both sides of the Marten-Dora train wreck have issues from their pasts that need sorting out.
If you look back at Faye's history her character development would have just appeared like a random personality change if we had not been told something about her history. Similarly it would seem wrong for Dora to magically get over her issues without more of her back-story being shown.
Yes its very difficult to feel sypathetic towards V at the moment but I do wonder if the narrative reason for her visit (as opposed to the characters reason) is to set things up for some Marten character development.
