She was about to poison herself (she was big with the poison, wasn't she?) when Ben and his kids happened along and needed her as a substitute mom. "Getting to England is like trying to get to the Moon." Poor Maggie. She walked *from Seattle to Buffalo* and up and down the east coast, trying her damnedest to find a way to her kids in England, and I'm a mom, I totally get it. The Maggie flashbacks certainly did their job, because they added dimension and poignancy to her character before she was fatally injured. (We don't know why, but I think they were hinting that it was to keep her family safe.) Rachel left her children to give herself up to the Militia, and Miles. After the Blackout, Maggie practically moved heaven and earth to return to her children, and couldn't. Definitely a mother love theme going on in this one.
