1): \\\"This is a kid\\\'s show so there are not going to be many deaths of main cast characters, doesn\\\'t matter if it\\\'s hinted at them being gay or not.\\\" Characters have already died in this series (I point to Detective Bowman earlier in the series, and Dan Turpin later in this very episode). Deaths are not common, but they \\\'\\\'do\\\'\\\' occur.
2) \\\"Maggie\\\'s sexual origentatin was never hinted at until she was hurt and in the hospital\\\" Yes, that is why I specifically pointed to it as an \\\'\\\'inversion\\\'\\\' as well, since this lead to a reveal of her sexuality (As much as they \\\'\\\'could\\\'\\\' reveal it) when this trope is normally used to get rid of gay characters.
3) \\\"But you could say every gay charactrer that doesn\\\'t die is a subverstion\\\" No, it is specifically said on the Subversion page that just not happening is \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' a subversion, but an \\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'a\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'version. A {{subversion}} is when a trope is set up to happen, using the foundation of the trope to make you think it is coming, and then something \\\'\\\'else\\\'\\\' happens instead. Maggie is attacked. She suffers a grievous wound. Her attackers are \\\'\\\'called\\\'\\\' murderers. The show is implying, rather blatantly, that she has just been killed (Hence, setting up the trope) and then it \\\'\\\'doesn\\\'t happen\\\'\\\' and she survives (Thus \\\'\\\'subverting\\\'\\\' the trope, since it said \\\"Look, it\\\'s happening, only it\\\'s not happening.\\\")
The trope does not just refer to shows where lots of characters die, it does not only pertain to flamboyantly gay characters, it refers to deaths of gay characters and, in this case, a woman who is canonically gay, even if it did not come up in the show, is set up to die and then doesn\\\'t. It is a textbook example of the subversions/inversions.
