Heh well there's the aforementioned error. Lets try to post this again...
My other guess is that Faye isn't going to see that she has a problem at first, then she may break down Because she's going to re-live her father's suicide.
I feel so bad for her and the QC gang right now. This is some serious "adulting" stuff here.
ASB84:
I wasn't sure if the arc would end up going this way, but without wanting to sound ghoulish, I'm glad that it did. I think it's showing way more respect to the characters and the subject matter not to play it for laughs or downplay the severity of the situation. Having Faye simply wake up with the mother of all hangovers just wouldn't be as powerful or captivating storytelling. This was very well executed.
I know I'm late to the party on the whole "Close to Home" debate, but I'll just add...who's to say that it doesn't have a double or triple meaning, encompassing all of the suggestions thus far? And even if Jeph intends it to be one thing, it certainly lends itself to other interpretations.'
As for the future, count me in as someone who believes this is going to be a scary moment, not a tragic one.
Wildroses:
My parents and I have been emailing each other about this storyline. Over the weekend we were emailing each other phrases like: "The ripple effects in the cast should be interesting" and "I see Faye spreading angst and hard decisions among the social circle" and then on Monday this comic gets posted. I'm torn between feeling proud at how well we appear to have called it and vowing never to email my parents about QC storylines ever again.
I was more upset when Faye got furious at Dora not because she was fired but because Dora told her she needed help. I'd been hoping getting fired would have Faye realise she needed help, but the fact she was angry indicated it wasn't enough. So when this posted I was: "Woo hoo! This is great! NOW maybe Faye will realise she needs help!" Needless to say, this would not have been my reaction if someone outside of fiction land got themselves a visit to hospital with alcohol poisoning.

There are very few times that a fictional work has had me in tears. This is one, and I am just... stunned. I hope this resolves in a positive way, but we (and Faye) are entirely at Jeph's mercy.
(click to show/hide) The last time was when I was watching Avatar while drunk. It is hard to watch when your emotional defences are down.
