I think Hanners is great, hopefully she gets a bit of character development in a future arc.
We've seen a lot of Bubbles and Faye recently, I think focusing back on either of them would be a mistake. I'm also not sure how many people would actually care about the parents backstory. The danger of having so many characters is that it's tough to flesh them all out without neglecting the core cast.
Saying that, I think the majority of the QC cast are strong
Somebody:
Here's the thing - before Faye was fired, there was never any indication that Bubbles had a hole in her memory, no? We knew she was PTSD, etc, but this whole arc has in a sense been running in circles.
Especially if Faye & Bubbles get rehired by the new, "legit" owners.

The two characters around whom the whole arc revolved. The two characters who saw significant character development. The two people who genuinely lost their jobs, and have to face the consequences of that. How are they going to pay the rent? What are they going to do with their lives?

You don't think Punchbot & Punchbot of Cyber Punching Arenas will need workers to repair the fighters?

It could take months for Barty to get the League registered an operational again. Furthermore, a legitimate operation will certainly be legally required to ensure that their maintenance staff have formal licenses and qualifications, neither of which I suspect Faye and Bubbles have. No, I think that they are going to have to find at least a placeholder job for a while.
I suddenly visualise Faye and Bubbles doing a Chassis Maintenance and Repair course at the Adult Community Education Centre at Smif College. This could lead to some interesting interactions with Tai and Marten as well as with Claire and her fellow MLS students.

Running in circles? I really don't think so. We've seen a *lot* of character development in those two.
At the beginning of the arc, Bubbles was functionally agoraphobic -- she couldn't even deal with a friendly party. By the end of the arc, we've seen her enjoying tea at Coffee of Doom, confronting CW and walking out of the fighting gym in spite of very real risk, and confronting her past. And Faye? Alcoholic, bitter, abusive Faye? She changed so much that she told Bubbles that she was there if Bubbles couldn't deal with her lost memories.
And that ignores the growth of their friendship. Faye never really had a close friend other than Marten, and Bubbles has never had a close friend, as far as we know.
No, the characters have changed a lot. Even if they go back to repair at the P&P Robot Martial Arts Gym, they're very different.
