Emperor Norton:
Honestly, the only real issue I've had with Dora about this was not texting/calling Marten to give him a heads up that something was wrong. She didn't need to go into details, just that Marten probably needed to check in on her.
Marten probably could have left work early for an emergency (I mean, his boss is Tai).
That being said, no one is perfect, and not calling Marten wasn't WRONG, it just probably would have been a slightly better path than was taken. Or maybe it wouldn't have been, idk.
Basically, this is a train wreck of stuff that happened, and I think everyone, for the most part, has done the best they could in the situation, and anything I could come up with is just nitpicking. The level of anger and judgment in this thread is just nonsensical to me.
TheEvilDog:
I've been thinking about Dora calling Marten and really no scenario works out well for anyone. What can Dora say that doesn't complete wreck someone's day?
"Hey Marten, we need to talk about Faye."
"Marten, I caught Faye drinking at work."
"Marten, I'm sorry but I had to fire Faye today because I caught her drinking."
And any other variation is not going to work out well for anyone at all.

I think this week is best look at as - it is what it is.
Lets get going on next weeks thread instead - I want to see Claire comforting Marten who will still be feeling bad for Faye.
Emperor Norton:
I'm trying to get what you are getting at here? I mean, yeah, its not the most pleasant of conversations, but if I knew someone I was friends with was going into a potentially dangerous situation, and they had a roommate who was their best friend and I was friends with as well, I sure as hell would give them a call/text to give them a heads up on the situation and so they could perhaps intervene before it gets too bad.
And I'm not sure how learning about it a few hours earlier and potentially defusing a bad situation is ruining anyone's day more than what happened.
And its loads better than her checking on her herself. I'm still confused why anyone would think Dora should have visited Faye the same day she fired her.
And like I said, its nitpicky. Her not doing it doesn't make her a terrible person, its just what I would have done, and I think it could have helped. Though in the long run, maybe her being hospitalized is the moment she needs to realize how bad things have gotten.
TheEvilDog:
My view of it was more if Dora text or rang Marten, that could have lead to several more problems. While it all "worked out" in the end, if Dora told Marten that Faye was fired after being caught drinking, one could imagine Marten going home to talk to Faye, only for her to feel like he's attacking her and go out somewhere else, who knows what might have happened Faye.
Or if Dora told Marten they needed to talk, if he had gone to CoD straight after work, who knows how long it might have taken him to get home, rather than him going home right after work and finding Faye passed out in her own vomit.
It's all supposition at this stage and trying to figure who was wrong for what after the event is basically trying to close the barn door after the horse has bolted.
