Maggie Hopley was a young woman encountered by Torchwood's Owen Harper one night. He had seen her acting suspiciously on the edge of a rooftop. As he suspected, she was planning on throwing herself off the building. It transpired that her husband had been killed in a car accident on their wedding day. Owen, who had recently been brought back from the dead, told her of a mission he had just undertaken with Torchwood, which involved a wealthy recluse named Parker who was determined to cling to life using alien technology. The artefact he was using didn't really prolong life - it was just his own willpower which was doing this. The object - known as the Pulse - was simply a device sent by an alien race as a message to humanity that they were not alone in the universe.
Seeing a new reason to stay alive, Maggie decided not to end her own life.
