I'm impressed with Faye here; I don't know what she could have done better in her state of mind. She could have apologised, but it wouldn't have been honest, I think. She just did what she had to do, and it's good that she got her gear immediately - her welding really could help her channel some more unhealthy feelings into something way more productive.

As for the Dora/Faye situation being the same as the Tai/Dora situation: Faye reacted better (well, that's a sentence I just had to type...) by shutting the conversation down politely. 'No hard feelings? Rather not have this conversation right now?' Imagine if Dora had said something similar to Tai! She wouldn't have hurt Tai's feelings with that one.

As to Dora finding new/different friends: Yeah, she should. She has Jim, who's in a very similar situation and more than ten years older, but that would require her to reach out to somebody, and she does have a hard time making close friends. Her brother's self-employed too, but with him she'd rather not talk, even though it might help them both. Hanners with her history of overcoming obstacles and making friends would be a good candidate, because while Hanners may lack some social skills Dora possesses, she's actively working on becoming better. She has a deep understanding of how relationships work because they don't come easy to her, and doesn't have a problem of putting her foot down if she's unfairly treated.

Unless that link gives you a seizure first!

Dark Matter:
I'm curious whether the rest of the week will continue to be as focused on Dora's side of things as it has been so far, or if it's going to transition with this strip to focusing on Faye and potentially her going to the support group. I could really see it going either way at this point.

Dark Matter:
I just realized how incoherent that sentence was. I really need to go to bed.

Again, "Boss Dora" and "Friend Dora" are incompatible, but inseparable, entities. As boss, she did the right thing, but as friend this really hurts. Faye probably realizes this, and does not really blame Dora, but the friendship is over. One might argue that the friendship probably got damaged way back when Dora seduced Marten, although they remained (mostly) on friendly terms while at work.

Faye's statement, "take one last look at the place", indicates she has no intentions of coming back as a customer. It would hurt too much. Unless Dora breaks down tomorrow, sobbing and begging forgiveness from Faye, I guess this is the last time we see them together.

Tai is now Dora's only significant link to the rest of the cast. The employees at CoD are not really her friends, she is just "Boss Dora" to them. One might wonder if Dora will try to get a new group of friends (Veronica, Jim, Hannermom, possibly even Jimbo?) that are older and have more successful careers, each in their own way. Tai, by comparison, is more childish and unambitious, and would feel uncomfortable around this new group (possible with the exception of Jimbo, whom she adores), leading to a breakup with Dora sometime in the future.
