So, suddenly I'm wondering why Madeline didn't have a scheme for her own future *seperate* from Paul's

I'm not sure why you would assume she didn't.

TPTB left her motivations and ambitions in this regard pretty vague, really. While her loyalty to Operations was well-established, and I think her first preference was probably to continue working with him if at all possible, I didn't see her behavior as totally excluding any other option, either.

I know that there were hints that she was at least thinking of this as a possibility - the ep where George pulled Nikita out so as to recruit her to go back and kill Paul - Madeline approached Michael to see if he was making his move, to me anyway, looking like she intended *not* to die in some sort of post-Paul housecleaning.

That was all pretty ambiguous. She did hint that, yes, but then immediately afterwards took swift action to try to save Operations -- so was she really just fishing for information to see if Michael would reveal his plans? Or was she genuinely signaling a willingness to cooperate with a new regime if it came to that? I lean toward the former in this particular case, but I think one can defensibly argue the latter.
