I always kinda pictured Maggie after [spoiler]being released from Wyndcliffe in 1971 picking up and moving far away,[/spoiler] eventually settling in California where she marries, lives a very successful life with her husband (who's a renowned news photographer, to catch something from real life), raises a family, and now with the kids off to their own lives, decides with her husband to return to Collinsport where she still owns the cottage (it's rented out during her interim away) as a sortuva retirement nest (they've retired early due to their financial success), she and Carolyn resuming their friendship. Of course, then all the action with TNG characters begins.
