With respect to the poll, I'm thinking of just how much a 'fixer-upper' the new location for Faye and Bubbles' workshop might be. The moment I first saw it, I could hear the late, great Harold Ramis's deadpan delivery:
"I think this building should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it's completely inadequate for our power needs and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone."
themacnut:
Let's not forget this is the second time that Bubbles has called Faye out on this behavior, probably in as many days (or even less - it might be the same day!). I'd be pissed in Bubble's place as well, and I may also, as JimC said, be reconsidering the partnership. The storming out isn't helping, but it's better that punching holes in the walls.
Yeah, they both have much to learn about being business partners. Let's hope their partnership survives the learning curve, eh?
Magniras:
So, Faye is able to get them the space that they both wanted and went to Bubbles to deliver the news and get input on it from her, but Bubbles is annoyed because Faye didn't run the decision by her first?
What?
JimC:
Is the PAC model of interactions in Transactional analysis still a current means of thinking? I was just struck by how often Faye seems to play the "I'm mummy and I know what's good for you" role with Bubbles, going right back a long way. And here it is again. "How come she's getting upset when I'm doing what's clearly the right thing for her"
Its always revealing who you empathise with in fictional situations and Bubbles at the moment with "when talked down to gets spectacularly angry, but walks out rather than start fighting" fits me like a glove I fear.

Great observation.
Remember, Faye is still pretty broken. There's been nothing to hint that she's really come to grips with her father's suicide. Her constant sass is a way of maintaining distance, keeping everyone a little bit at arm's length. Tough to have a partnership of equals that way.
