Is it cold in here?:
Her medical history includes a possible suicide attempt and hospitalization for it. It might not have been a good story to have her hauled off, but it would have been a plausible one.

BenRG:
I think that we get an insight here about what it is like for a woman to live with Pintsize. Booby-trapped underwear drawers? Laundry day must be like a warzone!

At least Faye is cooperating with Marten on drying out. If anything, she looks a bit embarrassed that things came to this! Of course, organisations like AA wouldn't even exist if it was as easy as that, so this is a first step on a long path.

Finally: it might be me, but Faye seems to be struggling slightly to remember the disarm sequence. I wonder how many times she has been caught by her own booby-trap?

Fix'd typos

Omega Entity:
It doesn't look to me that she's forgotten. If there was hesitation (...) or a verbal stumble (uh or hm), then I might believe it. Otherwise, it looks more like... not resignation, exactly, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's just tiredness.

I've got a feeling she's not out of the clear yet. I can see her having one more setback before she finally gets real help. But, of course, that's just me. Who knows?

As I have said before, I do not think this is sufficient. Faye needs a change of scenery as well, or else it will be too tempting to visit the nearest booze shop whenever she gets the urge (unless Marten and Hanners also confiscate her money and credit cards). A vacation with her friends, far away from bars and city life, might do her good.

I do not think she struggles to remember, but she might be a bit embarrassed letting Marten access her underwear drawer. As for the booby-trap, it obviously is not lethal (or Pintsize would be dead by now), but I would guess it involves copious use of duct tape. With Faye's proven engineering skills, I guess it is very advanced.

Mmm... Yes. On a first admission for drinking way too much, I'd say it was unlikely too, even in much less litigious Australia. For one thing, there are limited places for psych observation/treatment, and cases have to be triaged against ones where there is immediate risk of the patient harming themselves or others.
