TheCallMeFez:
A couple comics in a row telling Faye to go home. Maybe its time for Faye to take a trip down South?
Is it cold in here?:
Jeph said himself that if he met a Faye in real life he probably wouldn't get along with her.
Addressing the speculation about how bad it could get, Faye IS committing suicide right now. She's doing it on the installment plan instead of all at once.
KOK:
Next we will see Marten return very happy from his date. Either after watching the movie, or if the date goes extremely well, the next morning. He will find Faye in a bad state. Total emotional breakdown, perhaps even acute alcohol poisoning.

Thing is, would Faye even care at this stage?

... I guess, but anyone who is holding Dora to that standard, but not Marten.... is kinda holding a double standard.

My problem wasn't just that Dora didn't tell her to get help, but either way that's an unfair comparison.
Dora has known Faye for longer, for one. She also spends far more time with Faye than Marten does, and unlike Marten, Dora has been directly told by Faye that she wants to drink herself into oblivion. As far as we've seen, Marten has only observed Faye drinking earlier in the day than usual. Dora has far more information about the situation that Marten does. And, after catching Faye drinking on the job, (Which should come as no surprise after Faye said she wanted to be drunk on the job the day before, came in reeking of booze, happy, and had no hangover,) Dora didn't seem concerned or sympathetic in the slightest, just angry.
So yes, I hold Dora to a different standard then Marten, because Marten is far more ignorant of the situation and hasn't reacted with pure anger to his best friend hitting rock bottom.

Why should Dora be sympathetic? There are plenty of alcholics that manage to still show up for work sober, or at least realize they could be a danger to their co-workers and customers in their state and do the smart thing in call in sick. What Faye did was betray Dora's trust here which is a major requirement of friendship. If you can't trust your friends...how can they even be your friends?
