And what I'm saying is that Claire may decide that the best course of action is to actually be that shoulder to cry on for Faye, specifically to reduce the risk that she runs to Marten and does something.

The problem is that Claire doesn't really have much of a relationship with Faye except as a friend of a friend, so she'll have no basis for approaching her. If Faye goes to anyone, it will be Dora, Marten or possibly Hannelore.

Hmmm. Possibly. It would indicate a level of deviousness I'm not sure we've seen evidence of in Claire, but again, the stakes are different with her being Marten's girlfriend and not his intern. So possibly her previous attitude toward Faye will change as well. I wonder, though, if Faye would fall for that? It would certainly make for an interesting dynamic.

It's true that Claire and Faye are hardly BFFs, but if she's dating Marten, Claire will spend quite a bit of time at the apartment and in that way, see Faye quite  a bit more often than anyone else save Hanners and Dora.

Bologna:
I don't know why, but if they break up, I don't see an alcohol-inspired crash-and-burn for Faye.  Maybe one pouty drunken night of it, some general sadness, and a trip to see her therapist (which would be interesting - haven't seen her in a while!). 

I feel like Faye's gotten better about controlling her anger.  Angus is probably the more angry one in this situation.  I know it's his dream job and everything, but he's not being very empathetic.  LTRs require more conversation than 'I'm moving, but you can totally come crash on my friend's couch!' and I can understand Faye's alarm at how little Angus seems to care about that.

Can't say I'm too sad about them potentially breaking up, though.  I know they've been a central couple for a good portion of this comic, but Angus  didn't ever seem like good long-term material for Faye.  Yeah, they got along, and they shared the same sense of humor, but, I don't know, it never really 'clicked' for me. 

BenRG:
I'd like for Faye, a few strips after the final break-up, to go into a bar and be doing the whole "soulful barritone sax" moment staring into her glass with a meditative expression when a completely new character comes up and asks her name. "It's 'Go away, before I cave in your face. I'm not interested'," she responds.

The guy backs up, pauses, mutters "No, fuck it," and strides forward again. "The thing is... you're too hot to look so sad."

Faye can't help but smirk. "That is a sucky pick-up line."

"Yeah it is... but it's true." Faye looks quite shocked and the last panel is the two sitting at the bar laughing about something. We might never see the guy again and we might never know how the night ended. All we need to know is that Faye isn't quite ready to roll over and play dead just yet.
