Back on topic - Dora has got a lot to work through at the moment. It's interesting that she refuses to look at Hannelore in strip 2886 when asking her to give a message to Faye in the hospital, and then also looks away from Tai in today's strip while saying "not my fault, they forced my hand". My interpretation would be that deep down, she knows that she is wrong, and doesn't want to even look into the eyes of her friend and girlfriend to see their reaction when she says what she, herself, knows to be wrong.
I think inside she is a big bundle of doubt and fear and the only way she can cope is to build a shell to protect herself from the world. Anyone that she can't cope with or that threatens to damage the shell gets pushed away.
I think I said it a week or so ago, I'm guessing Dora might be the next breakdown.

She thought he was Mark all this time. That's where that hippy got it.

Meanwhile, the thought of Faye's brain in Hanners body cracks me up. And vice versa. Imagine the hijinks. But seriously.

In a sense, it would seem she already is, if mildly. She's retreated from contact with others and is wallowing in guilt, denial, self-doubt, etc. -- anyone's threshold will vary, but it doesn't have to be a Faye-esque life-threatening medical episode to be termed a breakdown.
Of course, we do have Thread #3000 in the relatively near future, so what kind of wham that milestone will entail is debatable. It seems likely to be directly or at least tangentially related to the Faye/Sven/Dora/Tai ball of drama, since the only other main plotline active in recent times has been Claire/Marten, and short of them exhibiting substantial strife (too soon for that much whiplash) or marrying (REALLY too soon), Jeph already expended pretty much any conceivable relationship growth developments for them during the Squeepocalypse (c. #2800 to c. #2900).
It really does seem to me like there is some Law of Conservation of Happiness amongst the QC cast, and the sheer cartoonish rainbows-and-unicorns of Clairten has not only consumed and replaced Faye/Angus but is now inexorably drawing Dora/Tai towards its event horizon as well.

Great, now I have this mental image of Faye-Hanners (Fanners? Haye?) as some kind of melded eldritch entity akin to an Archon. POWER OVERWHELMING
Kugai:
Either this Friday or next, I expect to see Dora finally crash.
