This is actually more what I would expect, something along those lines. Not necessarily exactly that, but simply killing Maggie is too easy, too quick. From revenge, it would probably be more interesting and more manageable to somehow corrupt or taint Maggie. Ideally, from Nicodemus' POV, that creates a situation where Harry must either kill his own child (thus in Nicodemus' twisted thinking equivalent to him and Dierdre) or live with the knowledge of what she has become.
I doubt giving her a Coin would be the preferred option, though. Nicodemus would want something subtler, and harder to deal with, Coins can be and have been given up, after all.

Harry having to kill Maggie would be a cruel twisted thing that Nic would love to arrange.. I think he might take it a step further, have Maggie sacrifice herself willingly for Harry as his daughter had done. If Maggie had to be "put down" because of what she had become, Harry maybe wouldn't forgive himself but as seen in a mercy light learn to live with it.. Sacrifice herself though, perhaps like her mother, I don't think he could.

Id almost see it as the opposite, mostly because of the Respect Their Choices theme harry has been on with his own personal growth. He can respect a persons right to Choose now, but wouldnt forgive himself if they were "Pushed" and never got the chance to fix it (especially after all the supernatural second chances he has gotten). Rather, if she Fell hard because of being Pushed and because of exposure to things and/or enemies in his life, and had to put her down himself would be hard. THe only thing harder would be if one of his /Friends/ had to put her down, like say Sir Butters. Then he'd be grieving more along the lines of Titania, with her Hate in Spite of knowing intellectually that it had to be done.

It would be hard but if it was best for Maggie as well and the world, I think he could live with it, no matter who did it including himself. Look at it as a form of suffering and putting an end to her suffering... On the other hand if somehow she was convinced that her sacrifice was necessary for a goal much like Nic's daughter was, I don't think Harry could handle that.. Because I believe he try to exhaust all other ways to accomplish the goal first.. If he failed, even if it was Maggie's choice I don't think he could live with that.

Oh, I very much think that SHE'd believe it, I just think the impact would be much worse for harry if he did not agree, but she went through with it anyway. More a mirror to McCoy and Maggie, actually
