The reconciliation might happen this week but it occurs to me that it isn't automatically something that has to be shown on-panel unless it involves one or both protagonists having a major epiphany. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we go back to The Secret Bakery to catch up with what's happening with their incipient romantic triangle. Or we might even address Sam's YouTube ambitions and Marigold's role in them! Only after that will we go back to Faye and Bubbles having their little talk next day, in-universe.

Maybe the trend will continue and we'll see Marigold with shorter hair.

ändert sich's Wetter - oder's bleibt wie es ist."
("When the cockerel crows on the hour, weather changes - or remains as before" - German "Farmer's weather lore")

Or if you live in Kansas, just wait a few hours for the weather to change.

An American colleague from the 'Heartlands', who was in Germany on a visiting fellowship, told me about it - I'd been telling him about German weather's unpredictability, particularly in April, and he goes "Sorry to burst your bubble, mate - a while ago, me & some friends went out for a spring barbecue in shorts, there were 5 cm snow when we left. That is unpredictable ... "
(I guess it's because oceans act as so-called "heat baths" - they dampen temperature changes. So the farther you're away from one ...)

Wild temperature swings are pretty common in the central U.S. When I lived in Oklahoma, we had a day in February once where it was 70 degrees F (21 C), and by the next morning it was -5 F (-20 C). That morning it was snowing ridiculously hard, and I stopped in the dormitory building to warm up on the walk to the university. On TV the weather guy was reporting from the university and mentioned where he was, and it dawned on me I had walked right past him and not seen him because of the snow. :psyduck:

The most extreme temperature difference in a 24 hour period was on January 15, 1972 in Loma, Montana.
Temps went from -54 F (-47.8 C) to 49 F (9.4 C).

Actually while that last comic was a filler, I picked up something else from it. That comic strip is quickly meant to show the type of relationship Marten and Claire have. Recall that when Dora was with Marten, she freaked out and got mad at him because he got the haircut without "her permission" so when Marten mentioned that "she can do what she wants, its her hair" I think he was vaguely hinting at what happened with Dora.
Back to the point I was trying to make, I think that overall the comic strip was meant to show that Marten and Claire seem to be doing great so far in their relationship and how they communicate with each other. (or it could just be random shenanigans going on)
