“Maggie’s Shocking Breakup in Chicago Med Season 10—What Really Happened?”

In season 10, episode 10 of Chicago Med, head charge nurse and original character Maggie Lockwood abruptly breaks up with Dr. Loren Johnson without any clear explanation. The two characters have been in a romantic relationship since season 9, one season after Johnson’s debut in the series. The pair have already been through a lot together, but it seems their romance has reached an unfortunate end in Chicago Med.

Maggie has been a part of the One Chicago show ever since its premiere in 2015. She is one of the best characters in Chicago Med due to her caring and supportive demeanor towards her colleagues and patients. While the lead nurse does her best to deal with the stress that comes with her job, Maggie hasn’t had lasting relationships because it’s challenging for her to find happiness with someone and is uncertain about what she wants in a romantic partner.

Nearly Losing Goodwin Has Emotionally Affected Maggie

Maggie Feels Torn After Goodwin’s Near-Death Experience

While it’s unclear why Maggie broke up with Dr. Johnson, one of the primary factors could be nearly losing Goodwin during the winter premiere of Chicago Med. Maggie and Goodwin are colleagues and good friends who have supported each other over the years, from Maggie’s health battles with cancer to their conversations regarding relationships. When Goodwin nearly lost her life after being stabbed by her stalker, Maggie was one of many staff members who feared that the medical director may not survive, particularly due to her diabetes.

Goodwin is fortunately saved by Dr. Dean Archer. However, Maggie’s worrisome demeanor has been evident ever since she confronted Sharon’s stalker, antagonizing the attacker as she is walked out of the hospital in handcuffs. Maggie’s low energy is also depicted throughout episode 10 and is noticed by doctors John Frost and Hannah Asher. They always appreciate Maggie’s charisma and energy, along with her taste for snacks and small talk, but notice that something is bothering her. When Frost asks Maggie what’s wrong, she says she’s splitting with Johnson, providing the reason for her behavior but no explanation for the break-up.

Maggie And Johnson Are An Intriguing Pair That Needs Further Exploration

Although their relationship has been briefly explored thus far, Maggie and Johnson seemed like a good pairing because they appeared happy together and are also good colleagues in the ED. Their first appearance together in Chicago Med season 9, episode 10, perfectly established their chemistry and likability towards each other when an emergency helicopter mission goes wrong as they transport a heart to a St. Louis hospital. Johnson nearly dies from injuries sustained during their chopper crash, but Maggie aids him, and they share intimate moments together.
