The sad thing is, there may be no way for Faye to truly come to terms with her father's suicide, especially since he didn't even leave a note. She may just have to find a way to live with it that isn't self-destructive, and learn to open her heart to people in spite of knowing they may someday leave.
Sometimes there is no closure, except maybe in your own heart. Sometimes you have to accept there will be no closure and find a way to move on anyway.
Method of Madness:
Bubbles: Ask Dora for help.
(later)
Faye: Dora's gonna help!
An oversimplification, and Faye phrased things poorly, but there's no indication that anything was done that wasn't reversible.
Hell, Faye could have been saying "she offered, and I ran right over to let you know we had an option!" before being cut off.
jheartney:
Does Bubbles have a phone? Or at least an internal interface that'll allow her to access/send texts? (If not, she needs to get one.) "Lemme run this past Bubbles" is all Faye needs to say, particularly before talking to the landlord. "Bubbles, Dora has offered to co-sign on the lease, which eliminates our credit problem. Is that OK?" Does not need to take much time, respects Bubbles' opinion and agency, gets the job done. Absolutely necessary in a working partnership that partners maintain open communication.
Faye's statement to Marten "Back me up here" is also problematic. She's not asking for an opinion, she's looking for support. Against her own business partner. Loud warning bells.
Bubbles walking out after objecting, rather than staying and resolving the issue, is also a bad sign. Both need to get a handle on this partnership thing.
gprimr1:
Not everyone is comfortable borrowing money or having friends co-sign leases. It can ruin a friendship if something goes south.
Signing leases aren't minor business decisions, they are major ones. Bubbles is right to be mad that Faye isn't bringing up major business decisions.
I think this is going to provide a decent bit of conflict for a while. Faye, who has to control everything, vs Bubbles, who just got out of having everything controlled for her.
I can also see this flipping, right now Faye is wrong for making major decisions w/o getting Bubbles advice, but I could also see later on Bubbles having a fit over things that truly are minor decisions.

Yes, but Bubbles was talking about getting advice from Dora, who is a successful business owner, about what they actually need in terms of paperwork to start their business. There is a world of difference between "What do I need to start a business here in town?" and "I just co-signed a lease with my best friend/former employer and I didn't think to call you before I called the guy who showed us the space."
