BenRG:
I think that the Condom Hunt has been taken as far as it could be. There might be a strip or two about Marten and Claire discussing what is 'harmless fun' and what is 'sacrilegious defilement of sacred ground' but I suspect that the main focus will be Faye.

You know what? I think that the intervention has already started and it's going to be Pintsize. He's going to give Faye a serious talking to that will make her come to her senses. She'll be so drunk that she blacks out and wakes up tomorrow thinking that she had a dream in which her subconsciousness (using the avatar of Pintsize just to weird her out and make sure she is listening) gave her a metaphorical slap upside the head.

I suspect that she'll go to Dora or maybe Hanners and ask for help. She'll never realise that it really was Pintsize but that is entirely in line with his plans.

FRIDAY STRIP SUGGESTION
Panel 1: (Extreme close up of Faye's sad, ashamed eyes)
Panel 2: (slight zoom-out to full face)
FAYE: "Fuck. I... I don't even know where to start."
OTHER PERSON: (speech bubble from off the side of the panel) "Take your time; there's no rush."
Panel 3: (Faye is sitting in a simple metal-framed deckchair in a room)
FAYE: "My... My name... My name is Faye Whitaker and... and..."
Panel 4: (Wide angle; Faye is sitting in an arc of chairs with serious and sympathetic people sitting around her, applauding; Faye is covering her face with her hands; there are 'AA' posters on the wall behind her).
FAYE: "... and... and I'm an alcoholic."

Is she? Frankly, I'm not sure. If she is, she's a mild one but it is clear that she is a problem drinker. She certainly tries to use alcohol to avoid dealing with her problems. So, AA or not, I can see this arc finishing with Faye signing up to a self-help group because she's finally realised that there is no shame in admitting that you have problems (emotional as well as chemical)  and that you aren't automatically strong enough to deal with them on your own.

[edit]
Fixed two tehs

Gladstone:
She should probably go and visit Dr. Corrine first.  The FDA may have approved a swift kick in the rear as a valid treatment option by now.

(Also, we haven't seen Dr. Corrine in a while...)

Is it cold in here?:
I miss her.

BenRG:
Comic's up!

Aaaannnd... I could be completely wrong and Pintsize could just get his jollies by encouraging Faye to do silly things. Not dangerous things, just silly things (which, I suppose classes a little like keeping her safe, in a way).

It looks like Jeph's going to have the main cast realise that Faye is going off the deep end one-by-one and then a mass intervention either at the end of this week or filling next week. Can you say 'marathon deprogramming session'?

And pacifying my inner shipper aside it seems to be working for him. I don't necessarily like when he breaks mid story for wacky robot hijinks or what have you, but having two stories going at once works well.
