Now, will Jeph actually allow there to be consequences of some sort (because, no matter how adult, people make dumb decisions when they're mad) or will he succumb to his desire for none of his characters to be hurt and just make this go away?

I can appreciate why some wouldn't want this. Heck, I was one of the early adopters of the Fayebles ship when it was considered an over-interpretation of their interactions. However, having something break and them having to risk hurting more by having to repair it again together would make for interesting writing and might teach us a lot more about how Faye and Bubbles have changed over the 3-4 in-universe months since they moved in together.

oddtail:
I really like today's comic, because it's such a good way to portray how many arguments can work.

Faye is legitimately surprised Bubbles is upset with her, and seems to think she did nothing wrong. Even when Bubbles says what her specific problem with her behaviour is. Since she thinks something is no big deal, she thinks that's how Bubbles should feel, as well, and any suggestion to the contrary feels like an attack and unfair.

Aye, I do know what things like GOMER and CTD are, and I’m pretty sure that it’s the earshot of patients that has something to do with this.  But also, I’m wondering if Bubbles is thinking that Faye is seeing all of this as “just parts”, and taking it too lightly, when to Bubs, all of it is like those wobbly bits inside organic life forms.

Potato Farmer:

--- Quote from: Torlek on 25 May 2022, 22:41 ---Bubbles has probably had a long-simmering resentment of Faye's cavalier and, frankly, irresponsible attitude about safety (see, pretty much every time Sam has been in the shop) and integrity of work (if she had just slapped the repair on there, it had failed later and Melon were a more litigious AI, she could sue them into the ground). Faye's attitude has never been cut out to be a managing business partner. She's an employee at best.

--- End quote ---
My first thought about this was that, if memory serves me, Faye has a habit of letting Bubbles take care of all the more complicated work.

If Bubbles has the same impression then, combined with Faye's apparent lack of concern when she messes up, she might feel like Faye is relying too much on her picking up the slack.

It's good to trust your partners and colleagues since that improves cooperation, but Faye might have let it affect her work ethic and Bubbles is getting tired of it.
