Zebediah:
I just read today's xkcd and found it oddly relevant to what Bubbles must be thinking right now.

I think that Jeph is going to have two strips with Faye and Corpse Witch making their cases (with a huge side-order of threats and innuendo on CW's part - She may also try to frighten Faye off with a few revelations about Bubbles' less-salubrious past). Then, after Bubbles (or possibly May, just to shake things up) summing up on Thursday, we'll have Bubbles making her own points about what she wants (as opposed to what Faye and Corpse Witch want) on Friday. The decision will be next Monday.

While that would be slightly therapeutic and help us understand characters' thought processes, I think it might be too easy and would answer some questions too quickly.
My guess is that Bubbles helps CW up... or I think it's possible that Faye storms out, with May trailing behind saying "That was awesome!" or something even less tactful, not giving the situation the needed gravitas... something along those lines. Hah.
Bubbles will become another plot thread we follow. Something is bound to happen if she stays behind.
BenRG:
@ Zebediah,
I think that Bubbles never realised that she would be happy again before she met Faye and her friends. So, I think that the equation in her head is 'security' vs 'happiness'. That said, I don't think that the calculation is as simple as some might imagine.

Facial expressions are very subjective because I totally did not read Bubbles' face as "You are nothing to me". That's a very defiant standpoint... To me she is avoiding Faye's stare because she's giving up. Basically sayng "I'm sorry, I can't follow you. I'm stuck here".

Yep, I also saw ashamed avoidance of eye contact in that panel.
