In the A Million Little Things episode “The Rosary,” when Maggie (Allison Miller) goes in for life-changing surgery, her friends are surprised when her mother Patricia shows up. As actress Miller explained at a press conference, “Maggie and her mom have a very contentious relationship, but it’s from a place of love.” Miller added that the loss of Maggie’s brother affected them differently and tore them apart.
