Bad Superman:
At this point I want Faye (and Sam) to face some consequences. Not losing the shop of course, but definitely more than just a weak slap on the fingers. Perhaps a serious talk from her business partner, who expresses her disappointment about how Faye acted today and the danger she put a minor and their fledging business in, would suffice…
Of course this could cause a small rift between them, as has been foreshadowed by Doras flashback…
Tyr:
The only way I see Faye avoiding any wrath? SHE bans Sam from the shop, and maybe adds some time to the end for even thinking of hiding this from her father. Sam's dad trusted Faye with his kid, and yeah, Faye maybe shouldn't have walked away... but as others have mentioned, She supervised with the blowtorch, she supervised with the knifecraft, and made a calculated decision to Allow Sam to keep working while she took care of a biological function. It was NOT unreasonable to assume that Sam would know better than apply a rotary tool that can shave metal to her soft, organic hide in any form. The only missteps here was not asking Bubbles to watch, and waiting for Bubbles to turn around or enter the room.

While I'd like to think attitudes are progressive enough for Bubbles to be an officer all things considered she might've been at most a sergeant.

If her answer was something along the lines of "Don't stick your finger in a power tool's moving parts." then I'd let her go back to the shop. Otherwise, I'd forbid it on the grounds of her being too likely to Darwin herself into an early grave.

I can see Jim both be maf or just go with "well, it's your own fault, deal with it".

The fact remains that Faye ended up giving Sam barely even the bare minimum of protection. At the very least, Sam should have been wearing work gloves.

Question is, whether that would have mattered. It was a deliberate choice of Sam to try grinding down her finger nail with a dremel, not a negligent accident. Maybe she wouldn't have had the idea while unable to see her nail, maybe she would.
The way I see it, Bubbles is dressing the wound quite professionally, which means Jim would suspect the injury to come from UR anyway. Also, I think Faye would crack sooner or later ajd tell him the truth.
OldGoat:
Jim's business involves industrial mixers that can break an arm - a boobooed fingernail isn't going to look all that impressive to him.
Dremels don't do things suddenly. I, personally, kept my eye on the tool - specifically the bit that was doing the work. I wasn't paying attention to the knurled chuck that held the bit as it abraded away a square quarter inch of the hide off my knuckle. Ow.
