It'll either be that, or she'll head back home to her Mothers for a while in order to start sorting her shit out.

--- End quote ---

I've thought about this a lot over the last couple of days. I can't help but wonder if heading back to her mom's would be the best move under the circumstances. Realistically, how much of a support system does she have there? At that point, she's walking into her mother's residual baggage, her sister's unresolved issues with her mother, and a host of other stuff, and all of it without her friends. I'm all for family, don't get me wrong, but her chosen family -- the one in Massachusetts -- may have a better handle on the situation than the biological one (as long as they're helping and not enabling). I get the feeling she probably has a deeper trust in Marten -- one that he's earned, incidentally -- than in her mom or her sister, and there are others in her circle (Hanners being a prime example) who might not only be better equipped to put her in her place when she needs it, but to whom she'll listen.

I was honestly expecting more dramatic hospital developments. #jephtroll

Neko_Ali:
How much, and how good of a support system would she have where she's at? Where she will be reminded of her problems. Where she doesn't have a job or a way to support herself? It's not like a trip home would be permanent or a cure, but presumably her mother would at least be able to give her a place to stay for a while and a change of scenery. It won't fix her problems, but it will give her a chance to assess what she's doing and the road she was heading down without the added pressures of putting her friends on the spot or trying to find work to cover her half of the rent. Of course her taking a break wouldn't solve that problem for Marten, but his mom could probably pick up Faye's half of the rent for a while. Perhaps in exchange for some welding or sculpture work for her new apartment in the area. Which wouldn't be a bad thing for Faye whether or not she decides to visit Savannah for a bit.

Is it cold in here?:
Savannah might even be bad for her. Aunt Betty and all the people staring on the street? Worldviews incompatible with hers, as she mentioned in 625?

A Duck:
Judging by Jeph's twitter, we might get filler. Sad, but perfectly understandable.

I assume next comic (tomorrow or whenever) will be Faye's reaction, followed by Claire and Dora on the following comics. I really wonder how much "Friend Dora" remains after Boss Dora turned into Ex-Boss Dora.
