‘A Million Little Things’ Season 4 Episode 18 preview: Maggie and Gary
Gary is taking the baby news worse than Maggie is in the A Million Little Things Season 4 Episode 18 preview.
“I am going to have your baby,” Maggie insists to Gary. “Take this sad sack Charlie Brown BS somewhere else.”
Gary’s only response is, “Wow.” Although not mentioned in the preview, the ABC synopsis for “Slipping” gives more insight into the guest star who returns.
“Maggie and Gary go to great lengths to entertain an unexpected visitor,” the ABC press release reads.
From the press photos, it’s apparent that the visitor is Maggie’s mom, Patricia Bloom. Melora Hardin returns to the A Million Little Things cast to reprise her role. Viewers haven’t seen Maggie’s mother since season 2. However, Patricia did have a phone call with her daughter in season 3 about Maggie’s breakup with Gary. In the upcoming episode, Gary and Patricia sit down to talk and drink together. Although Maggie and her mother often argue, Gary’s famous for lightening the mood.

Luckily, viewers found out in A Million Little Things Season 4 Episode 17, “60 Minutes,” that Anna Benoit (Erin Karpluk) did not kill Peter Benoit (Andrew Leeds). However, that doesn’t mean that Eddie (David Giuntoli) should stay with her. Eddie tries to help Anna begin her recovery by giving her the first chip he received after he was sober for 24 hours in the promo trailer. However, she’s not very receptive.
“I’m not sure AA is the right path for me,” Anna explains in the A Million Little Things Season 4 Episode 18 preview.
In episode 17, Anna told Eddie that she had a drinking problem. But when Eddie tries to support her in recovery, she’s not interested. Although viewers want to see Eddie happy, this relationship isn’t going well so far.
