WCDT Strips 3366-3370 (5th-9th December 2016)

I don't think we've seen the last of Bubbles, so this question of whether or not she is as good a friend to Faye as Faye thought will need some fleshing out. Faye eventually made up with Dora, and I think eventually she'll reconcile with Bubbles too. Probably will take some time, though.

May voices my notion that CW has some hold over Bubbles. I don't think this means it's true - May is pretty much of an outsider. It's as likely that Bubbles doesn't want to leave her comfort zone, or that she feels a kinship to all the other AI's at the rink, or that she feels a responsibility to them. Or that CW will (as some other commenters suggested) overplay her hand and so disgust Bubbles that she ends up leaving the place anyway.

Sadly for Officer Basilisk, Faye's no longer in a position to shed much light on that anymore.

BenRG:
'To catch a thief' and all that; it makes sense that May would know (or at least have a clearer understanding than Faye) of what is going on at this point. It also takes May (who isn't really Faye's friend and, therefore, can be brutally plain with her) to realise that Bubbles' back-story likely isn't as simple as she's been assuming.

So, am I the only one expecting that the next strip will be cutting back to Bubbles and her doing something to Corpse Witch (like, repairs with her pain sensors still turned on)? This is the point, in my view, where we get some idea of just what Bubbles did that Corpse Witch thinks classes as a serious felony.

Meanwhile, from Jeph's Twitter feed, it's starting to look like Detective Basilisk may yet turn out to be a more significant character we thought! Jeph's put a lot of work into her own set of background characters, including a very interesting-looking fellow femmebot detective whose chassis is optimised for the vice squad!

while its certainly possible that bubs is being coerced somehow, it seems just as likely to me that she simply has a different viewpoint regarding boss-bot's threats. they are all criminals after all, and may just put them all in serious legal danger by getting followed there. a reminder that 'i am a bad person, and will do bad things to you if you cross me' would seem to be a standard business practice in this case.

and personally, i rather disagree with the notion that if you quit your job over a disagreement with the boss, your coworkers are somehow obligated to quit along with you. like, what would bubs quitting have actually accomplished?

Setting herself free from a domineering amoral manipulator who sees Bubbles as just another asset to exploit for her own personal benefit and positively delights in the thought of her being isolated and alone.

J:
none of which faye is in any way shape or form aware of.
