Is it cold in here?:
It can be good business to try to salvage someone.
Dora may have seen enough alcoholics in her life to recognize the pattern and conclude that no management tool at her disposal could redeem the situation.
Zalder:
I for one would like to see Faye go home for a few days, we can get some interaction between her and her mom. That will reveal some more backstory I'm sure, maybe explain a bit more (in addition to what we already know about her dad and her abandonment issues) why she is so quick to be self destructive.
Tova:
I'm finding this debate quite interesting.
But!
Given that Dora's very livelihood is at stake - the very thing she has poured her self into and which defines her - I would not be so judgemental even if I disagreed with her decision.
Is it cold in here?:
Ooh, interesting. Her problems are so severe that it's possible there were pre-existing conditions before her dad put a bullet through her life.
TRVA123:
I think Dora's choice to fire Faye was a good choice, both in terms of character and in more objective terms.
Dora is not responsible for Fayes actions. Dora has no control over what Faye does when she is not at work. In fact, Dora has been actively trying to overcome her own control issues and to back off and trust other people in her life.
Dora also might not have any experience dealing with alcoholism. Her reactions won't be the actions proscribed by a "dealing with alcoholism" textbook. What is more important is that her actions are in character.
Faye has a problem. She is hurting, and an alcoholic, and depressed. This does not mean that Faye is not responsible for her actions, nor does it mean that Dora should sacrifice her business and lively hood to support and possibly enable Faye.
Maybe when Dora gets off shift she will organize an intervention. Maybe she will make sure Faye sees her therapist as soon as possible.
