After Yuri evacuated the Medical Dome, Maggie broke out of confinement and alerted Andy and Tarak in the biodome corridor by emitting a scream.


She flew up to the base in [[2058]] and worked there, studying the planet [[Mars]] with a team of humans. She was infected with a virus, known as [[The Flood (The Waters of Mars)|the Flood]], that changed her body form. With the other infected members, she tried to infect the remaining crew and escape to [[Earth]], but failed, due to the actions of The [[Tenth Doctor]]. While infected she appeared to act as the leader of those infected by the virus, and was shown to have a voice powerful enough to crack the ice holding the main body of the Flood. She was blown up when Adelaide, her captain, took "Action Five" and destroyed the Base. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars]]'')
With the other infected members, she tried to infect the remaining crew and escape to [[Earth]], infecting [[Ed Gold]], who blew up the ship before his transformation, killing himself and stranding the Flood on Mars. After Steffi and Roman were infected by the Flood, Maggie and the other infected personnel went to the glacier, and screamed in order to crack the ice. Maggie and the other infected personnel were killed when Adelaide blew up the entire base. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars (TV story)|The Waters of Mars]]'')
