Summary: What happened was her fault. It won't happen again. #7 in the Haven post-ep collection.
The day after Richards drowns, Vickie quits her job teaching art. Teaching requires demonstrating, and she's not willing to take any chances. In spite of what he went through, Jimmy doesn't understand and she returns his ring in the ensuing argument.
Her eyes full of tears, Vickie cleans out her studio. Every pencil sketch, every watercolor, every oil painting. She scours her house, gathering everything she's ever drawn, gingerly bubble-wrapping framed works and scouring the attic for crayon pictures of houses she made when she was five, giving them all to Eleanor Carr for safekeeping.
She never draws anything again.
