WRT Burke. I don't know. He acted rashly or he thought about what his mom had said and took the opening to act on his doubts. Poor Cristina.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

GA: I think Burke honestly thought that in trying to be more what he wanted Christina was diminishing herself. Which, not really his call I'd say, and possibly a rationalization for his own unexamined doubts, but ta least trying not to be self-centered.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Holy crap. All of my Vegas stories from this trip are bathroom related!
We went with a woman who HAD to see all of the top 10 bathrooms in Vegas from the show they did on the Travel Channel. For reals. I think we managed to see one with her before we struck out on our own.
Seriously? She was so freaking yucky.
If she was that nonchalant about her own hygiene, why so picky about the stall?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I confess to taking a picture inside the bathroom at the ... Paris? Hotel in Vegas. It was so pretty!
Nothing I hate more than people who leave their pee all over the bathroom. It serves her right that she took some with her.

-t, I can totally see that. Also, I think Burke was relative sure (mistakenly) that Cristina might not go through with it. (yes certainty and might aren't mixy) It could have been his doubts and his desire to save face. better to leave then be left and all that.
If she was that nonchalant about her own hygiene, why so picky about the stall?
Exactly. I was just stunned and sort of aghast.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The only time I can recall taking a picture inside a bathroom was at The Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo.
There was some restaurant in NYC that we went to last year that had an entirely black bathroom, including black toilet paper. Can't remember where that was, but it was freaky. Someone told me about a club where the stall doors are made of glass that fogs up when the door is closed and clears when it's opened. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd feel there.

Oh completely. But I wanted to say to her, "You're profoundly yucky. And I can't believe you almost peed on my foot even though I was in another stall. Perhaps you don't have the quads to perch above the seat, but, lady, you don't even have the aim."

Our wings are not tired.
The bathroom where I am staying in Dallas has an ordinary bathroom to look at. Then I took a shower. I never want to leave. Never have I had so much water pressure in a shower either in a hotel or home. Heaven.

I don't know, that shower at the place in Atlanta was pretty hardcore.

Also, Burke wasn't going to be Chief, so his whole career path has just been called into question in his mind, putting all the burden of his happiness on his relationship with Christina - if he takes that out of the question, he can just leave and, barring him wanting to be with Christina, that's what he really wanted to do. Couple that with the possibility that she seems to be leaving him at the altar and I can see why he'd feel pushed to leave.
