I think too much time has gone into developing Bubbles as a character for Jeph just to write her out of the story like this. I hope this rocky spot comes out as a way to better relate to Bubbles, either for us, or for Faye and others to strengthen their bonds.

That's how I've always seen it.

I think that maybe there is something to the speculation that CW 'Knows Things' about Bubbles that she'd rather not have others know - especially Faye. Whether this has to do with her days in the Military and the PTSD/Survivors Guilt she seems to carry around. or more to do with her recent history with CW and Fight Club, is something I hope Jeph is going to explore.

There's also the possibility that May "knows things", or has heard things, beyond what she's letting on. Maybe things that Faye wouldn't want to hear about her friend. Or maybe about Corpse Witch.
May spent time in "Robot Jail", after all, and it would be very surprising if she hadn't heard... you know, things.
Is it cold in here?:
It would be very surprising if the rumor mill in Robot Jail was any more trustworthy than it is in human jails.

Is she? Corpse Witch is certainly manipulative, but she doesn't appear to go out of her way to be cruel. Bubbles is an asset to her organization so she's been undermining her growing confidence that the outside world isn't so bad. That's not good, but she doesn't appear to be getting any joy out of it. She docked Faye's pay for using her business to do repairs. Again this isn't good, but she could also be the kind of criminal who wants a piece of whatever action you got that is related to her business. And threatening May is protecting her interest since a convicted felon is the kind of target for police looking to leverage information so she has to threaten her with something worse than jail. Seriously it's nothing personal, just business. And while she is certainly bad if I had a choice I'd take Corpse Witch's company over Beatrice Ellicott-Chatham any day.
Hopefully, Faye will keep what May said in mind and not take this as an act of betrayal. If she seeks answers she might find out that Bubbles is being extorted or she stays in Corpse Witch's employment because it's her safe place.

This. I was sort of hoping that for a change, the Faye apologia would take breather but no such luck. Faye was happy to pocket the cash all this time of so-called "Corpse Witch" (really?) and May's ridiculous ass (full disclosure, I cannot STAND her) comes in and possibly opens the door up for the head Bot to be investigated, and instead of telling May to pipe down, Faye socks her boss? Uhm ...
Faye is a goon and she needs to get a grip and a clue. Nothing that she did there was righteous in any way.
I'm not sure about Bubbles. I think it's more that she sees Faye for what she is - an angry, self-entitled loose canon. Faye knows what the deal was with that job. It's strictly underground and there has been no breath that the head Bot was doing anything to put fighting droids in harm's way any more than they were doing themselves by boxing. The Head Bot got the cop off their case and May goes bitching about it and instead of Faye telling May to shut the fuck up, go home, and enjoy her new face, she lashes out. Bubbles may just have figured that Faye can't be too bright. I doubt the Head Bot might not know anything except that Bubbles was horribly scarred by her combat experience. She may be the Droid version of Brun's overprotective friend, but I don't see anyone cheering for her to get decked.
I'm sure Bubbles will be seen again. I'm sure that as usual, the Faye apologists will find ways for this to be everyone else's fault but hers.
