As a recent episode titled "Change of Plans" revealed, Maggie might end up attending one of the most prestigious institutions in the world after all.
She first heard back from the university in an earlier episode titled "Goodnight," when she learned that she got into the second round. This cast new doubt on her relationship with Gary, who interpreted it as another telltale sign of Maggie's disloyalty. Consumed by a potent mix of anger and disappointment, he swiftly proceeded to break up with her.
To make matters even worse, Maggie eventually had to learn that the committee ended up choosing another candidate — and that the whole fight was in vain.
With little else left on her plate, she started hanging out with Eric, a motorcycle-loving, adventure-hungry man who finally adds a touch of sparkle to her life. The only setback? Maggie firmly — and falsely — believed that he was the hospital patient who received her deceased brother's heart. Too daunting a prospect, she danced back from the budding romance and devoted herself to her professional and personal growth instead.
In what can only be described as her last ray of hope, Maggie eventually learned that the candidate selected for her position has dropped out at the very last minute, leading the university to invite her to take on the fellowship instead. The opportunity could put an end to her consistent back-and-forth between still-grumpy ex, Gary, and the friend who should be off the limits, Eric. But does Maggie end up taking it?
