I think we'll stick with the Faye story arc for a bit. Here's why: Last week, Jeph tweeted, "[This story is] coming from a personal place, yes, but I finally have the distance necessary to write about it." There is something emotionally cathartic about writing about things that have happened in the past and this might be Jeph's way to achieve peace (for lack of a better word, sorry) with what happened to him a couple years ago.
(If this has been brought up in previous WCDTs, sorry; with the flurry of new posts, it's been difficult to track what has been opined!)

I still think that should be Claire and Tai, who despite conflicting personalities decide to share a apartment for no reason which leads to a spin off web sitcomic.

I think it was more of a case that May was skimming the money from various accounts; where it could be anything from a couple of cent that people won't miss to tacking on larger amounts to budgets. You'd be amazed how often people don't really check what the "Miscellaneous" actually constitutes on a budget.

A lot depends on where May was working. If she was employed by the Department of Defense, one of the intelligence agencies, or a military contractor there would be a lot of potential for her to play games with finances. On the other hand if she was working for any of those employers you'd think her time in jail would have been a lot longer, and her release conditions a lot harsher.
Of course there's the off chance May isn't telling the truth, and her crime was something more mundane. Or her supposed backstory is totally made up and she's there for some other purpose. Perhaps she actually is there to be a bodyguard to Hannelore.

This is why I'm not feeling the "timeskip" idea yet. There's still more to deal with in Faye's state of mind. More to work out. We just don't see all of it yet.
