I'm not sure if Jim is so happy about her going to the woman who gave her knives, a sword and a blowtorch to play with. On the other hand, of all the people who could give her knives, swords or blowtorches, why not Faye, at least she shows her proper handling of those. Well, maybe except the sword. Trying to play Fruit Ninja IRL and getting the sword stuck in the ceiling is something I would not consider proper sword handling.

Faye was a babysitter, and Dora is a storeowner who very likely does not want to be the place where the tweens come to hang out and not buy product. Liability and being the responsible adult is a wench. My wife used to run a pet store and absolutely hated when parents used the place as a babysitter - "Just wait here and watch the pretty birds/fish dear, Mommy/Daddy will be right back after I get the groceries done."
FunkyTuba:
I think it's an extension of the boss:employee::parent:child/sibling dynamic:
Dora, having gone on a date with Jim, attached herself to a potential stepmom role--at the boss=parent tier--which Sam then reinforced by denoting Dora as Jim's friend (not hers).
Faye then is set up to have a fellow employee == sisterly relationship with Sam
--- Quote from: pwhodges on 04 Jun 2013, 23:54 ---As for Sam, that usage, though wrong, is also well established in many circles, sometimes in specific idiomatic phrases like "the boy done good".

In fact, she's probably echoing a previous instance of hearing it from Faye.

You done splendid.
