Yes.

Thrillho:
Thanks for finding that old comic, now I don't feel like my irritation at Sven is only 50% justified.
By the way, the pace this comic went at used to be borderline glacial, and in real time terms this comic covers a month or so sometimes in a year at a time, but lately Jeph has ratcheted up the pace something fierce. There has been an explosion of occurrences, and I like it.

Okay, a little bit more from my last prediction (and this time a happy/melancholy one). At the end of their discussion (Thursday's strip), Angus pulls out a promise ring and tells Faye that he knows the months ahead are going to be tough but that he wants them to be together. Faye is flabbergasted and, after Angus slips on the promise ring, the two kiss in the middle of CoD. Dora is looking past them with a shocked expression. Last panel is Sven watching the Angus/Faye PDA looking like someone's cut out his heart with an apple corer.
Friday's strip is Sven fleeing. In panel 2, he passes Steve and Cossette making out on a bench. In panel 3, he passes Dale and Marigold walking down the street, hand-in-hand. The last panel is him on his couch, either covering his face with his hands or playing his guitar with a fierce expression of concentration on his face.
Next week would be back to Marten and Claire. I've already put up my ideas for the first two strips (Claire coming out in a pretty dress and going to CoD with Marten). In this version, there would be no library party as it's the weekend. Instead, after spending some time walking around town together, they go to The Secret Bakery for lunch where, much to Martin's shock, Veronica is behind the counter. The rest of the week will basically be Jim and Veronica teasing Marten and Claire.
[edit]
To me, any crisis for Faye isn't going to happen until after Angus has left for the big city. A couple of weeks of only seeing him two days in seven at best and watching those in relationships being all lovey-dovey all the time puts pressure on her. Then Sven releases a new record which is very overtly all about his feelings for her and how utterly destroyed he was seeing her accept Angus's ring. Everyone agrees that it is the best piece Sven has ever composed and it is about her. He even uses the pet name for her that he only ever used when they were having sex in a dedication on the liner notes.
It puts her under a lot of pressure; it's a big temptation.
[edit 2]
It could also be the final straw for Dora. If Faye confides in her (including the pet name thing) I could see her going ballistic over what she perceives as emotional blackmail. She goes storming over to her brother's house, attacks him and tells him never to attempt to contact her or Faye, come into Coffee of Doom or come anywhere near them for any reason whatsoever ever again.
Akima:
I wonder if Faye is recalling the words of (I think) John Lennon: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans," and realising that it happens while you're carefully not making other plans too. She's been drifting as much as Marten has.

"Mad scientist laugh"? I'm starting to think that Hannelore gets that part of her subconscious from her father rather than her mother!
