--- Quote from: ybtlamw on 02 Feb 2015, 20:42 ---It's obvious Faye knows she screwed up, but now she's acting like a bitch toward Hanners, and that's not OK. Hanners cares too much about her friends, and for Faye to be talking to her like that makes me irrationally angry. (I'd said in another post that I'd never be friends with Faye in real life, and this is a prime example of why. I hate her personality.) Any anger Faye's got should be self-directed for putting herself in such a position, unhealthy as that may be, but it's clear to me that she's angry with Dora, even if she's not saying it, which isn't fair anyway, since Dora did what any rational, sane boss would've done. Maybe she didn't know how bad Faye's drinking actually was, and never expected Faye to drink herself into the hospital.
That's why I think we're in store for another setback from Faye. I've got a feeling all of her friends doing their best to help her out is going to freak her out and she's going to end up having one more episode before she really, truly realizes what she's doing.

Yeah, this kind of thing is why I felt it was really lousy for Dora to even task her to talk to Faye about the insurance to begin with. Faye has always been a temperamental type of person. I'm sure coming off drinking doesn't make her any more pleasant—though it was a surprise how compliant she was with everyone who was helping her at the hospital.
The one good thing out of it is it sounds like she's done with CoD. Time for character growth!

Nope, that is not the way that works, at all. Believe me, I've been the accompanying party at the ER before, usually they just get a talking to followed by a referral before they're discharged.

Affirmative. I can confirm as the accompanying party that blowing a .41 on arrival the second time in a month you drink yourself into a hospital is not enough to get you committed. Going home and immediately taking all of the pills they gave you for the withdrawal symptoms at once and washing them down with a fifth of vodka is, though.

I'd imagine the reason she was so compliant's because she wanted to get the hell out of the hospital. She probably didn't say anything about wanting to get out to Marten and Hanners because they'd have taken it the wrong way. (If she would've said something, I'm sure Jeph would've dedicated a strip to it, so she clearly kept that to herself, if that's the case.) And now, with the way she's acting toward Hanners, who did nothing wrong at all and who's now taking the brunt of her anger (as tertiary as it may be at this point), it just seems to me like she's going to have another setback before all's said and done.
I mean, I could be wrong, and I'm probably definitely wrong, but that's just how I see it playing out. I can also still see her going to Sven to get back at Dora for firing her, or some other sort of huge, ridiculous falling-out scenario between Faye and Dora.
Wildroses:
It's an interesting feeling, realising you are sad because someone broke up with a coffee shop.

All that and she may also have another fifth or two hidden around the apartment that she didn't tell Marten about. I could be wrong about that as well, but I wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't - Faye's compliance is really suspicious to me.
