Maddie didn't cause everyone to squabble in the kitchen, she only got every one to gather in the kitchen at Natani's request (granted, in a not-very-subtle-but-still-effective manner). If everyone instead gathered because Natani yelled for everyone, the same thing would've happened... Eric would've seen him wearing the vest, Kat would still be angry at Eric for trying to take it back, everyone would still have seen Flora's belly, etc.

Same could be asked about Lynn, who also had no reason to sneak on and hide from everyone. I really want to see what's in that edict Maddie has, which will hopefully explain their behavior.
