Again, I don't see AA appearing in the strip.  Jeph didn't need it to get sober, and it's somewhat questionable as an organization due to its philosophy.  By Jeph making it an integral part of the strip, he would be in effect endorsing the whole 12-step process as the way to end addition, which I just don't see him doing. 

Although I may be wrong on the details of it, I still don't see Dora and Faye burying the hatchet any time soon.  Really, Faye needs to confront Dora almost immediately, apologize, and say she doesn't want her job back.  That would get their friendship back on good standing.  But even if Faye might be inclined to say that on the inside, the natural inclination of people is to want to avoid addressing an embarrassing situation where they made a fool out of themselves.  Faye might also be afraid even if she comes back humble Dora will still be in hardass boss mode and not want to talk to her as a friend.  And the longer the two go without talking to each other, the more their friendship is effectively ruined for the semi-long run.

Man, I keep forgetting how different laws can be depending on which state you're in. I must admit, though, that the ones I've heard of were very specialised employees that had access to real company secrets like technology or something, and it was worth continuing to pay them half their salary for  not working and not fast food employees

On Dora & Faye: yeah.. that would be the reasonable thing to do. I don't think it'll happen, though, even though Faye seems to have sobered up not only in the physical sense. Both are proud, impulsive women, and both let anger, shame and pride come in the way of good communication.

It's basically a way to get even more power over low-wage employees, so they bend over for the giant unlubricated cock of American Megabusiness.

I think you meant a "non-compete" agreement.

EDIT: They're actually quite common in radio/TV circles, so competing stations can't hire away talent.

I didn't know that about Jimmy John's. I suspect it's so they don't lose their workers to Quizno's or Subway if one opens up in the area.

And here we have a really good step towards healing and personal growth. It takes a hell of a lot of courage to admit you aren't well when you've been trying so hard to "function" for so long. It takes even more to reach out for help. It's a very frightening and vulnerable place to be in, but there's so much hope for change afterwards.

I do think Faye will come back to COD, I think that Dora wanted to hit home how serious this is by actually firing her, not just sending her to treatment. Firing her gives her real motivation to fix herself.

I have a feeling should could. I would not be surprised if Dora offers her the job back if Faye's showing some attempt to get help...but maybe this was meant to happen to encourage Faye to actually use her talents. Even with the promotion, it seems like she really hasn't done much with her job at CoD. She made the cool dinosaur coffee dispensers, but then we see nothing more of that. Just the same old, same old every day. And while Faye wasn't terrible as an employee or manager, it really didn't seem like she was super happy there or even content.
