Yeah, their friendship definitely could have been explored a little bit more. I think the closest we got to an episode based on their relationship was Cruisin', and even then the episode tended to focus on Mordecai and Rigby more than it did Margaret and Eileen. If I had to take a guess, I'd say that the creators were afraid to wander into uncharted territory at the time. They probably weren't quite sure how to handle an episode based on just the female characters, (Or characters other than the park members) and therefore decided to cast Margaret and Eileen's friendship to the side.

Now that Margaret is back on the show, however, I definitely think that her and Eileen's relationship will come into play at some point. Considering how well all of the characters have been developing this season, I think an episode that revolves around Eileen and Margaret's backstory seems very probable and intriguing. Not only would we be able to learn more about Margaret, (Like so many fans desire, including myself) but we could be provided with one of the most well-written episodes of the series. A concept like this has a lot of potential in my eyes, and I'm sure a fair amount of RS fans would be enthralled to see how and why the girls became friends in the first place. Why the creators didn't address this idea earlier in the series is certainly a mystery, but I can only assume that they were doing what they thought was right. Perhaps they thought too much interaction between Margaret and Eileen would take away from Mordecai and Rigby's shenanigans. Whatever the case, at least there's still a chance for their relationship to be looked at. We may be in season six, but it's better to get some insight than none at all. Hopefully the creators know what they're doing by having Margaret return to the show.
