That's a typical soap opera character idea. What isn't so typical is Vicki's response, that it would be better to go to the police. She sticks with that rational idea until Roger tells her of his urgent need to see Devlin's face. That picks up on Roger's frantic behavior in Week One and sets him up for the whole saga of Where Burke Devlin's Pen Is, in which we see that Roger's attitude towards Burke is rooted in some deep and complicated emotions.

Their scenes together work very well, and Roger's haughty indifference to his son gives all the background you need to see why their relationship is so important.
