Even though Roger and Burke are in alliance over protecting David against Laura, they don't agree with Victoria that David should be taken away that night, giving Laura time to make her move to get David away in secret. Laura's reaction to news of Dr. Guthrie's death isn't surprising, and her show of no emotion is done with victorious humor. She claims to be preparing to leave, and for some reason, Roger believes her.
This storyline is at a point like the end of the Matthew Morgan story just four months before that you really can't wait to tune in tomorrow, and thanks to the availability of the video collection, you don't have to. Here, you get to see the tender side of Burke, revealing to Laura his hurt, and for a minute, she seems actually hurt herself as if deep down, she wishes it could be different but is compelled by the greater evil inside her. That is what makes great drama, and in spite of the flaws and slow moments of the story, she is a villain that will never be forgotten.
