What can be done about a boss that blames a worker for everything?

My fiancee works for an escape room and she is good at her job.

We are not in a position where needing to look for a new job is going to be okay for us. There is no HR, the boss is the only guy in a position above her. If he fires her, she may be able to collect unemployment but it's just an all around annoying shitty situation. Is there anything we can do to retaliate? She is already an amazing employee and aside from continuing to do her job correctly, I don't know what advice to give her.
