My money's on this one. I think Dale is genuinely not bothered by Faye. His manner isn't at all that of someone who's abused and intimidated; it all seems to roll right off him.
Dale's had a lot of low-status jobs and has probably been pushed around in worse ways than this. He doesn't take any of his jobs too seriously, he's probably pretty confident in his ability to perform well on the job, and he already knows the CoD crew well enough to have at least a bit of a sense of being among friends there. He's not stressed about the new job or Faye's attitude. Befuddled, but not stressed.

We have to keep in mind that he's withstood her sass often enough to learn the secret menu. Not even Marten learned the menu, and he was there all the dang time.
Nepiophage:
The hammered banana smoothie that can be described is not the true hammered banana smoothie.

I'd say more mischief than evil.

Hrrrm. If somebody is mellow, it usually means they have a long fuse. The long fuses are attached to the bigger explosives.
It would amuse me terribly if Dale did a prank back to Faye. Faye is NOT mellow and would likely melt down. However, like almost every episode of House, one of the tropes appears to be "Nobody calls the bully on their BS"
As a side note, it always mystifies me that the biggest jerks tend to have the thinnest skins.
Sidhekin:
Faye has been called out before. Several times. Just not since the promotion.
... I can't help but wonder if Jeph is setting up Faye for a fall here. Her scheming has the look and feel of the kind of hubris that, in countless stories, goes before a fall.
Of course, there are many kinds of fall ...
Will her antics backfire? Will they get out of hand, and Dora put her foot down? Will Dale prove even more resourceful than we've seen so far, and turn the tables? Or will Dale wind up in hospital?
