She would eventually enter into a relationship with a sadistic man named Steve, an abusive, alcoholic jock.
Friday the 13th: Abuser and the Abused[]
Maggie gets severely beaten by Steve while at a rest area. Recalling this particular attack on her, she narrates that this is the 23rd time he has attacked her. He smacks her to the ground and starts beating her like a punching bag. She makes a self-promise that this will be the last and final time he ever abuses her.
Maggie wears a black sunglasses to school the following morning to conceal her left eye injury that she received from her boyfriend's assault on the previous night. She approaches her locker and opens it in order to check her reflection. Removing her black sunglasses, Maggie looks at herself in the mirror, drawing the interest of three nearby girls in the hallway. Being surrounded by the trio of girls, they ridicule her left eye injury before leaving, aggravating Maggie to the point that she punches and shatters the mirror in anger.
After school, Maggie states to herself that nobody understands her situation. In an effort to receive the help she needs, Maggie goes to meet with a school counselor, who dismisses her claims of abuse as an attention-seeking behavior. The counselor recommends she see a psychologist, but similarly to the counselor, the psychologist is unable to assist Maggie due to her not wanting to open up to him. The psychologist then advises her to see a priest. Following the psychologist's advice, Maggie meets with a priest who remarks that she is seeking revenge, something he can not help her with, claiming that her anger antagonizes everyone around her. The priest concludes his talk with Maggie by revealing that her stepmother met with him not too long ago, persuading him that Maggie is solely responsible for her issues.
After meeting with the priest, Maggie decides to return home. Reaching her room, Maggie looks at a sign on her door that reads, "God helps those who help themselves." Perusing the text, she initiates a plan for revenge and is inspired to come up with an idea on how to solve her life troubles. Maggie calls Steve over the phone, waking him up and telling him she wants to "hang out." Finishing the phone call with her boyfriend, Maggie goes to conceal a large hunting knife in her backpack, carefully examining it and preparing to carry out her vengeful plan. Consequently, Maggie fatally stabs her stepmother and father to death.
Having arrived at her house in his two-door muscle car, Maggie, wearing her backpack, climbs out from her bedroom window using bedsheet as a rope. Pretending to sneak out of the house to avoid raising suspicion, stating that her father and stepmother are asleep, Maggie proceeds to enter Steve's muscle car and gives him directions to Camp Crystal Lake, unbeknownst to him. As Steve is driving, he points out the blood on her, and Maggie casually responds with a cover-up. As Steve catches sight of the entrance sign, he becomes irritated after realizing that Maggie gave him directions to Camp Crystal Lake, but she immediately charms him.
Arriving at their destination, Maggie exits Steve's muscle car and walks over to the lake, taking off her shirt in order to lure him. Hiding the hunting knife behind her back, Maggie, now wearing a bra, tells Steve to make a move for her, but before he can do so, she stops him with a stab to the left abdomen, mocking him and perforating his torso and back. Maggie then strikes his face, knocking some of his teeth out. Preparing to deliver the final stab, Maggie states that this is her payback. As Steve briefly gets the upper hand during the fight, he spots a huge, frightening machete-wielding figure named Jason Voorhees. Steadily approaching from behind Maggie, the pair terrifyingly glance up to see Jason standing over them. Having her target suddenly and unexpectedly killed by him in cold blood, Maggie stabs Jason in the shoulder out of frustration. Unfazed by the attack, Jason backhands Maggie, causing her to retreat and retrieve her hunting knife. Claiming she was merely defending herself, she lunged toward Jason with a surprise stab to the chest, causing him to drop his machete and fall to the ground. Noticing Jason's weapon free from his grasp, Maggie takes advantage of this opportunity by grabbing hold of the machete and stabbing him with it numerous times.
Believing that she has killed Jason, Maggie staggers to Steve's muscle car and enters the driver's seat. Unaware that Jason is still alive, Maggie is shocked to realize that he has recovered as he grabs and lifts the back of the car. Flipping the car over, Jason foils her escape attempt. An injured Maggie looks out to see fuel leaking from the vehicle. Quickly thinking, Maggie reaches to grab a lighter and ignites the fuel, causing both of them to be thrown away by the car exploding.
Having survived the explosion, Maggie looks up to see Jason staring down at her and swiftly gets up on her feet, wounded. She tries to appeal to Jason by telling him of her painful, sorrowful life, claiming she lost her beloved mother and comparing herself to him. Maggie continues her reasoning by saying that she was the only person to care for her mother and killed people in retaliation to avenge her death. Maggie embraces Jason, presuming that he understands her words. While she has a hold of him in her arms, Jason, towering over her, raises his machete. "But we're the same... please..." she pleaded for mercy before being ultimately decapitated by Jason.
