Is anyone else a little confused at Faye's apparent lack of reaction? I was expecting at least a little guilt or something in panel 2 but there's nothing, it's just like "yeah...and?". Likewise in panel 4, shock or dismay? Maybe the booze is blunting her emotional response and she'll hit a wall back home (metaphorically, and quite possibly literally).

Has she, or anyone, even mentioned Sven in the last 100 comics? #2784 was the last mention of that drama I could find.

The reactions somewhat feel a bit 'deer caught in headlights'.
The Sven thing it would make sense for nobody to have mentioned given Dora basically told nobody and to those she did, made it very clear what her stance was.

I don't think we've seen how pissed Dora could get over this. Faye crossed one of her stated employment rules, and then tried to lie about it to her face - shortly after Dora entrusted her with extra responsibility at the shop. I think we may see Dora reach entirely new levels of "pissed" over this, and I also think both Faye's job AND their friendship is now in grave danger.
I also do not think we will see Faye be healed quickly either - she's entirely too stubborn to give up her "coping mechanism" so easily. I suspect we are seeing the beginning of Faye's long ugly slide down into the gutter, either metaphorically or literally.

My previous post above was made before I saw the latest comic (obviously), but I still think most of it applies - especially the part about this being the beginning of Faye's slide into the gutter. The next push will come from Marten realizing he can't have a perpetual drunk for a roommate, especially one who is no longer providing her half of the rent.

No. Even drunk, she knows damn well she hasn't a leg to stand on.
And "Dora the Friend" might take a more sympathetic line with Faye, but only after she's finished work and she isn't busy being Dora the boss.
I didn't think she'd do this, but I can understand why she did. Anything less would signal to Faye that it didn't really matter, with the result that nothing would change, and things have clearly reached the point where they do have to change.
Welu:
Oh.
Zebediah:
Faye broke up with Angus because she was afraid of change. Now she has to deal with a serious change, and not the good kind. Funny how that works sometimes. :-(
