Do you think everyone was ready to go or do you think they left because of the tension between Burke and Vicki?
Interesting question. I doubt anyone missed Vicki's cold reception of Burke - and Maggie had barely even spent any time at the Blue Whale at all. But then, how many times on soaps do characters eat two bites of their food or take two sips of their drinks and then they're ready to leave? (It's like why did they even order the stuff in the first place?!) So who knows? But one thing we can be sure of is that their departure was certainly needed to facilitate the private conversation between Vicki and Burke.
