There's no call for snarky comments about Dora. As I thought, this is hitting her hard; she knows her decision precipitated Faye's crisis. At the same time she knows she was right to do what she did, and she's not going to back down. Faye's own behavior and choices were what landed her in hospital, and if anything this vindicates Dora's decision to draw the line. Even so, Faye was a very long-time friend, so this has got to tear up Dora emotionally.
The insurance bit was quite decent of Dora. It's not something she had to do.

I don't debate that, however, the way she is handling it is rather immature and also not fair to Hannelore.
Dark Matter:
I certainly hope Dora doesn't get too much hate for this. Sure, maybe she's not acting in the best possible way at this point, but then again, nobody can act perfectly all the time, especially in a situation like this.
It seems pretty understandable to me that, after having fired Faye for drinking on the job, Dora would not want then to hire Faye back after Faye got so drunk she ended up in the hospital. As far as Dora can tell, none of the issues that led to the firing have been solved.
At the same time as she is thinking this, it is also understandable that Dora would feel guilty about doing so and not want to increase that feeling of guilt by seeing or talking to Faye at this point. It would probably be best if they could talk it out, but the fact that she is not doing the best possible thing she could do does not make Dora a bad person.
Having said that, I do think the existence of at-will firing is a definite problem. This strip shows part of the reason: if it weren't for the fact that Faye and Dora are/were friends, Faye would just be fired period and would be facing a potentially devastating situation with medical costs.

So you think Dora should have marched on in on just-recovering Faye to remind her of the recent trauma? WRT the firing, it's not a secret. I'm sure the whole main cast knows.

i dont think dora is in the wrong here.
sometimes you need to make a firm stand. faye NEEDS help , and she also has a business to run.
she still cares for her, but im thinking this is the kick in the arse she needs to get better.
