Not necessarily.  I think we're making a mistake in assuming Faye actually wants to know why her dad killed himself.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure her conscious mind is desperate for some resolution, but I think in the back of her mind Faye knows full well why her dad did what he did, and refuses to let her find out.  That could also put her car accident into new light.  Now, what that exact reason was remains to be seen, and while the theories presented here are all perfectly reasonable I'm not holding my breath on Jeph ever addressing it.  Sometimes too much detail can spoil an otherwise perfect story, and I expect this could be one such example.

Explain?

Also, are some people here suggesting that her father molested her? Haha I'm seriously not following all these nuances.

Here, here.  Or is it "Hear, hear"?

Where, where? 


There, there!

It's "hear, hear", short for "hear him!, hear him!" - first recorded in that form in the British Parliament I believe.

I was just pondering the idea that her car accident could have been triggered by her conscious mind briefly remembering something that explained her dad's suicide, and she couldn't cope with it.  Of course now I look back at when she told Marten about the accident and how she suddenly remembered how her dad taught her to drive, so I'm no longer as supportive of that theory as I initially was.  It's still plausible, but somehow I doubt that her dad killed himself because he taught her the "10 and 2" rule.
