Early life[]

Season 1[]

Season 2[]

Maggie is riding in the car with Gary Mendez back from the cemetery, when they get a call about Delilah Dixon going into labor. They arrive at the hospital and sit with the rest of their friends in the waiting room. Eventually, Delilah gives birth to a baby girl. A couple of days later, while finishing unpacking at Gary's house, Maggie discovers that Gary threw out all her medication, which upsets her a lot. Later, during one of her therapy sessions with Patrick Nelson, the latter tells her that he does not think he is his father's son. Eventually, Maggie goes to the hospital to accompany Delilah and her newborn daughter home, where she tells off Dawn, who kept insisting that Delilah must figure out how to breastfeed her daughter. Maggie eventually confesses to Gary that she was so upset because when he threw out her medication because the last time she did it, she discovered that her cancer came back a day later. ("Coming Home")

Maggie reluctantly informed Gary her mother was coming to visit. Though he was happy about it, she was not. Her mom texted that her cab was outside, and they were surprised at how many suitcases she had brought. She took the opportunity to inform them she was going to be staying longer and had left her husband. Inside the two argued, and her mother insisted that after 32 years of marriage they have simply fallen out of love. On the way to the restaurant, Maggie called her dad who confirmed the same thing.

At the restaurant, they were met by Regina's old friend Elon who joined them for dinner. He informed them he was a psychic, and Delilah decided to make an appointment with him. She and Gary joined her first support and were surprised when he conjured up the spirit of her dead brother, Chad Bloom. This very much upset Maggie and made for a long car ride home. She later went for a jog to clear her head, and Gary told her her mother was sitting alone at a restaurant and insisted they try to work it out. When she arrived she flirted with a guy who offered to buy her a vodka for a dare, and when she's turned around saw him kissing her mother. ("Grand Canyon")

Maggie was very annoyed the next morning, while Gary asked her annoying questions. She confessed she saw her mother at the bar Gary had told her to go to and seen her with Eric and they were in a relationship. She had no proof that she was positive. Angry she went to work but was debatably happy to see Gary visit her. He brought her inexpensive latte and between clients in wanted to talk out his own problems with her. The boat had about a civil conversation while trying to be third-party observers to their own problems. She confronted he was bringing up her mother while avoiding his. This obviously struck a chord with him but it was interrupted by one of her patients before he left, though not upset.

The next day Gary convinced her to go to her old apartment and visit her mom so she did. And was fearless to find her mother on the phone talking to her boyfriend Eric well crying, wishing she could make everyone happy. This infuriated her more and when she asked her mother if she came to see her or Eric, Patricia said both but Maggie knew that was a lie. After storming off she was once again convinced by Gary to invite her mom over for lunch. And was left even more distraught when she brought along Eric. ("Mixed Signals")
