If you’re still scrolling for confirmation: Maggie keeps the baby. The pregnancy is a central plot, not a tragedy. The show uses it to explore her fears about becoming a mother in a tiny, nosy town.
Does she have a scary scare? Yes. Does the baby survive? Yes. But brace yourself for season two, because the drama is far from over.
