Season 2
In high school, Maggie is very popular amongst her peers and becomes protective of Shawn when he starts high school as well. When her mother abandons her and Shawn and Chet leaves as well to go find her, Maggie basically becomes the legal guardian of Shawn. With the help from the Matthews' and getting a job as a waitress, she barely makes enough money for both her and Shawn to have at least breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She scolds Shawn for getting into trouble with the cops and it is revealed that Chet will not be returning for awhile. Knowing that she can't keep taking care of Shawn alone and that the Matthews family can't take care of Shawn, Jonathon Turner offers to take them under his wing and they both accept.
