Gladstone:
Well, this is interesting. In the past couple of weeks (in-comic), Dora decided to cut Sven out of her life, and fired Faye, and then almost pushed her girlfriend away over the first two issues. But Tai came back and they made up, so seeing Faye return to the shop may have given her a glimmer of hope. Fix two relationships in one day! Or not. Faye shot her down, hard. That can't be good for her morale. I doubt she's going to consider trying to patch things up with Sven, now--and her little argument with Tai might just have been the first of many.
Thing is, Jeph doesn't actually need to turn Dora into QC's newest punching bag, because she's pretty good at beating herself up already.

No, Faye became manager because Dora couldn't handle her workload, same reason she hired Dale.

Maybe tywren is a multiverse traveler. tywren did you bring any new Nirvana albums across the gap?
--- End quote ---
tywren is a time traveler from the very distant future, after the universe's Poincaré recurrence time. They bring Nirvana albums, but they're a very close approximation of the ones you've already heard.
Perfectly Reasonable:
The last Special is meant to be "Kaleidoscope", in case you were curious.
Wonder why Jeph didn't make WWW.QUESTIONABLECONTENT.HORSE a clickable link?
Because horses make everything better!

The situations aren't analogous, though, because it would require Faye to get her head out of her butt and acknowledge that in the case of what she did specifically to Dora, which was break her trust, she fucked up. She has acknowledged everything else - her issues with drinking, her need for therapy, her need for a support group - but she has not yet acknowledged that she betrayed Dora and she hasn't done this because Faye is in her feelings about this and feels Dora was wrong to fire her. Maybe she understands it on some level, but she is still pissed about it. Dora realized immediately that she was out of line on Tai. Faye probably feels that she is being virtuous and adult by not calling Dora names or shittalking her.
I, for one, will be fine if this friendship is over for good and Dora finds a group of friends that appreciate her. I hope that is the epiphany she has, similar to the one she had when she inevitably realized Marten wasn't in love with her and never was going to be so the relationship had to end. Maybe Dora will start making the sort of changes in her social life that will bring her to a class of people who recognize her great attributes and will not act like shitlords to her.

Fuck, Tai is DATING her. If a person I was dating told she thought everyone in her social circle was against her, I'd think she had a persecution complex, too! Her friends ain't shitlords for giving their honest opinions, dude!
--- End quote ---
I don't see how you get Faye not thinking she deserved to be fired in this strip. 'No hard feelings' implies that she knows she deserved the firing, but isn't going to hold it against Dora. If she didn't think she deserved it, she wouldn't be skulking in and all but declaring that she won't darken the shop's doorstep again.
Your bias against Faye is seriously coloring your interpretation of the strip, methinks.

She literallybhas stuff on the property, what the fuck, did we SEE her taking the war ladel to Marten and her apartment? Reclaiming your own propery doems not equal secession from Coffee of Doom//friendship of Dora territory, though it will undoubtedly through a huge fucking wrench in the Dora/Faye friendship arena, possibly crippling it for life.
CaptainFish:
Aww, poor Dora. I wonder if that's all we'll see of them, with maybe just a strip of Faye's one last look. Faye's being pretty mature about this, except that I think she should apologize before breaking contact again for who knows how long.
