Chloe grins upon seeing her mother bringing four sets of plates to her table. "Finally, real fucking food."

"Watch your mouth," Joyce reprimands. "Ok, Belgian waffles and bacon for Stephanie...chicken and waffles for Drew...a stack of chocolate chip pancakes for Mikey...and a double bacon cheeseburger with steak cut fries, fresh out of the fryer for my ungrateful daughter."

Chloe narrows her eyes. "Thanks, Joyce," Steph, Drew, and Mikey say in unison.

"Yeah, Thanks, mom," Chloe grumbles. Once her mother disappears, Chloe immediately starts ripping into her burger. "Fuck. This is a real burger, Stephanie and Andrew. This right here. Not the shit you got from the drive thru."

"I didn't come here to be insulted, Price," Steph retorts.

"I'm missing something here," Mikey says, feeling out of the loop.

"I wanted burgers when I was at the hospital so I asked Drew and Steph to get me some," Chloe explains, stirring her milkshake with a fry. "I wasn't ready to digest solid food when Drew got me a burger, so I barfed...but I was able to stomach it when Steph came through."

"Mmmmm, you're lucky we don't have weak stomachs," Drew recoils, remembering the gross gagging sounds when Chloe threw up at the hospital. "Now, can we eat in peace without any mentions of vomit?"

"Pussy," Chloe taunts. Drew throws a piece of chicken at her, making everyone else laugh at the table. "You better cease throwing food at me. I'm the one paying, remember?"

Drew sticks his tongue out, and continues to eat. Chloe chuckles under her breath. She definitely kept her promise to treat her best friends for lunch — or brunch since it's still 11 in the morning — and it gives her nothing but satisfaction to see them smiling and laughing.

She wishes Max can be here though. It will definitely make the experience a lot better. Steph already liked Max, and neither Drew nor Mikey had any ill thoughts about her, so they can easily be friends. Rachel could've been instant friends with Max. She would've done Max's birth chart first, then befriend her though. She once read Drew for filth when she did his birth chart, which made Chloe laugh until she got to hers. She pointed out her slight similarity to Drew, which is why they are so close now, but then there was a bunch of other shit and that made Chloe end the reading abruptly.

Once Chloe pays for her friends' meals, she drives Mikey to school while Steph goes to work and Drew goes back to Oregon State. She waves to Mikey, who thanks her for the ride, and sees him go straight to a table where they're playing tabletop games.

She kinda misses school. Thinking of that conversation with Samantha a few days back, she might just make her engineer dream a reality...but she will never convince Wells to make her come back to Blackwell. First off, she just got shot at a bathroom here. Second, she hates Blackwell and most of the students here. Third, convincing a principal to come back to a school is probably impossible; she's only seen it on television and she's not gonna simulate it in front of her apathetic drunkard of a former principal. Thankfully there is one other school in the entirety of Arcadia Bay and she can go there if she wants...or maybe online school will be better.

She has research to do...a lot of it.

Max can't stop thinking of that kiss.

She thought school would distract her for a few hours until she becomes a starstruck recluse inside her room, but nope. Her teacher Mrs. Matthews calls on her again and she doesn't know shit. When Ms. Grant calls on her, she's hopeless. She might be failing classes, all because she kissed Chloe Price at the hospital.

Fuck.

She even asks Victoria, Kate, and Warren for notes, since they're the only people who take decent notes in class, but Max knows that they're tired of Max not paying attention in class and taking her own notes. She sighs deeply, and puts her books inside her locker.

"Seriously Gayfield, take your own notes," Victoria reprimands, giving her her photography notes. "This is the last time i'm giving you my notes, ok?"

Max nods. "I know. I just...it's not Mrs. Matthews this time."

Victoria raises both her eyebrows. "Which girl has Gayfield starstruck in class?"

"I kissed Chloe a few days ago," Max confesses. "And it was the best kiss I've ever had."

"It's probably the only kiss you ever had," Victoria jabs. Shit...it totally was. Even in the alternate universes, it was Max's first kisses with Chloe...and Warren that one time. Max casts her head down in shame. "Holy shit, Max. You were seriously a mouth virgin before you kissed Price? Damn...it was a joke! I swear!"

"I know, but still," Max frowns.

"Ok ok ok, my bad, Max," Victoria sighs. "Well? Do you like her?"

"I do," Max confesses. "I don't know if she likes me back though. She did kiss back, but maybe it was for pity or something."

"If she did kiss you for pity, I'mma kick her ass," Victoria mumbles. Max can see the passion in her eyes, and almost smiles on how close they've gotten in the past week. "But, maybe she does like you, Gayfield. You aren't...that bad at least, in my opinion. Some may say…in certain angles… that you're pretty."

Max laughs out loud. "Why was that so hard for you to say?"

"Because unless you've been living under a rock, i'm trying to be nice instead of a bitch, and sometimes I fall back into old habits…sometimes I can't compliment well without canceling it and insulting you."

"Well in that case, some may say in certain angles that you're pretty too," Max retorts. Victoria glares at her. "Now you understand how ridiculous that sounded?"

"No bitch, i'm gorgeous," Victoria states, smirking, and gesturing to her body. "If i'm not turning heads from being the biggest bitch of Blackwell, it's because i'm gorgeous as fuck."

"Ok, Leztoria, I fold," Max says, laughing.

Victoria glares at her again, rolls her eyes, and throws an arm around Max. "Let's go get some lunch, fellow homo."

Max groans a little. "But I'm bi, Vic."

"Shut up, Max."

Chloe is already looking at different online schools when she hears the door open. "You got a guest," David announces.

"Thanks, David. Let 'em in." David steps to the side to let Max enter the room.

"You need anything?"

"No, David," Chloe replies, rolling her eyes. "But you can close the door when you leave, that'd be great."

David laughs. "Close the door when you have one of your lady-friends inside your room? Hah!"

"She's my best friend, so you can trust that you won't hear any suspicious sounds or smell any weed," Chloe retorts, with an innocent smile on her face. David complies, shutting the door behind her. "Jesus H. Christ. He's a nuisance."

"You getting along with David? I'm surprised," Max says.

"Life's short, Caulfield," Chloe shrugs. "I don't like David...never will, actually, but if I can pretend to get along with him so my mom won't get mad, I can do that."

Max smiles a little. She didn't like David either, but this is a pale difference than watching Chloe get smacked in the face and verbally abused by David. "What you doing anyway?"

"Researching online school," Chloe replies. "I'mma try to go back to school and get my diploma, and then go to college and study to be an engineer. I kinda got inspiration from a friend to take chances now that I got my second chance at life."

"You wanna be an engineer?"

"Always have, Maxie. Did you forget about me or something?" Chloe has always been a science student, which is why she got into Blackwell. But she loved engineering and mechanic work, no matter how many science related accolades she received as a kid. She loved drawing and appreciated the arts, but her heart belonged to engineering. She could do a lot if she wanted to, her talents broadening her horizons to be anything she wants, but engineering is calming. She fixed a car using just her dad's tools. There's no telling what she can also do.

Max shrugs. "Kinda."

Chloe smiles, and turns around to face her computer screen. "You ready to head out or you wanna hang in here and talk shit? Your call. David might let me go outside, considering i'm an adult, but he's been learning to trust me more these days. That near death experience kinda made us up."

"Stay in," Max replies. "We can head out much later if you'd like."

"Sounds like a plan, Caulfield." Chloe gets up from the chair and heads to her bed. Chloe still feels a little weird around Max especially after their little kissing session a few days ago, but she's willing to continue a friendship. Most people would avoid each other after a kiss so passionate and short lived, but not Chloe. She still wanted to kiss Max silly though, give her a real and proper makeout session (even though she promised David she wouldn't do any funny business in here). "So...did you have any friends at Seattle?"

"I had two," Max replies. "Their names were Kristen and Fernando. I haven't even contacted them since I moved back here. I don't think they miss me much, considering that they had to force me to socialize most of the time."

Chloe frowns a little. "Shit, man. I didn't think it was that bad."

"No worries. Me moving back here made me make more friends than I ever did at Seattle," Max says.

"Maybe you needed to be around gays," Chloe jokes.

Max rolls her eyes. It was then she realized that the majority of her friends are gay; Victoria and Chloe are lesbians, and Warren confided in Max sometime ago that he's bisexual. Kate is debatable, but she appears straight. There's also her acquaintances, like Steph, who is a lesbian. "God, you're right."

"Exactly!"

"How did you meet your friends? Like Rachel?"

"I met Rachel at a mill concert," Chloe replies, remembering every detail of her encounter with Rachel at the mill. It was magical. "She saved me from a group of punks who were harassing me after I bumped into one accidentally...fuck, I miss her so much."

"Did she have a funeral?" Max inquires, a little confused that Chloe hasn't been invited or informed of a funeral service for Rachel's remains. Chloe should at least say one last goodbye before she was buried.

"Yeah, but her parents weren't huge fans of me," Chloe shrugs. "After I told Rachel the truth of her origins, which is a hella long story, they resented me for it. Telling her the truth severed her relationship with her parents, but I felt that it was the best decision to do because Rachel has been continuously lied to by an elitist asshole and his passive wife. My mom thankfully went for me and said it was beautiful."

"That fucking sucks."

"It is what it is, Maximum," Chloe shrugs. "Now, my best friend Steph...she gave me a copy of Blade Runner Director's Cut for free when we first talked and Mikey, the huge ass nerd, let me play one of his badass tabletop games, akin to the ones we used to play as kids. Steph is a lesbian like me, so we instantly clicked, especially after she helped me through a coming out process, and Mikey is hella fun to be around, even without Steph. He's always playing games when I see him but other than that, he's nice."

"I instantly liked Steph when I met her," Max admits. "She just seems so cool...and she loves you a lot."

"Yeah, I love her too," Chloe laughs.

"What about that other guy, Drew? He seemed really sad and concerned for you when we first met."

"Drew," Chloe smiles. "I kinda was at odds with him because he bullied Nathan Prescott for reasons I look back now and realize they are hella valid, but after an issue with our ex-drug dealers, we got closer. I realize he's one of the sweetest, most gentle humans you will ever know, but he's also a fucking meathead. Anyways, that's all of my friends aside from you."

"How do you have more friends than me?"

"I think we have an even amount of friends. You got me, Victoria for some crazy ass reason, Kate, and Waldo. I have you, Drew, Steph, and Mikey."

"Stop calling him Waldo," Max giggles.

"Waldo sounds a hecka lot better than Warren, so it's Waldo," Chloe laughs back. "He should go as Waldo as Halloween."

Max shakes her head. They continue to talk until it reaches almost sundown, so Chloe decides they should leave the house for a while and later on she'll drop Max off at the campus. Max wants to go back to the junkyard but she can totally understand if Chloe never wants to go back there because of Rachel's shallow grave sighting. Then again, the place holds a lot of memories and value to Chloe no matter what happened to Rachel, or Chloe in the other timeline. She still hated that they both fell for Nathan's stupid trap that day, causing her to be drugged and Chloe to get shot.

But now, they don't have to worry about that. Chloe takes Max to the harbor, where they just hang out and watch the sun down. The harbor isn't as popular as when they were kids. Very often, both Chloe and Max would hang out here if they weren't at their treehouse or at the diner or anywhere else. It's changed ever since the Prescott Foundation came and ruined it, but occasionally a person comes every now and then to just...chill. Add that there isn't much to do in Arcadia Bay except to fish, sightsee, and run drugs. Max wonders what happened to Frank in this timeline. In the other one, he either dies along with Pompidou, gets injured, or becomes an ally, but what happened now? Did he run away during the mess that was the Prescotts' doing? He was heavily, yet unknowingly, part of Jefferson's little game, so maybe he did get the chance to get out of here. He might just blame himself for Rachel's death since...it was his drugs that got in her system.

It also occurs to her that Chloe still doesn't know about Rachel's relationships with Frank and Mr. Jefferson. For the sake of their friendship and Chloe's mental health, she decides to keep it that way too. Why should she ruin Chloe's idea of who Rachel was? Plus, was Rachel really into those guys who used and manipulated some high school girl? It disgusts Max to think that both men had romantic and sexual relationships with a girl who was barely legal at the time of her death.

They manage to walk all the way to the beach, skipping a few rocks and enjoying the night breeze. It's like old times. Max remembers from the other timeline when she was here before the storm reached Arcadia Bay, and surely before her nightmare that made her realize that Chloe is way more than a friend, and that she has a lot more potential if she just applied herself more, like if the Everyday Heroes contest wasn't cancelled, she could've took a picture of doctors around Chloe during her coma, or when Chloe's friends were around her and it was just a quiet, yet bonding moment for all five of them.

"Hey Max?"

"Yeah?" Max turns around to look at Chloe.

"I'm glad you came back to Arcadia Bay."

Max instantly feels butterflies in her stomach. "Me too."

Finding an online school is tough, but Chloe manages to find one to fit her schedule. It sucks that she had to send her hella abysmal transcript from Blackhell but hey, if she's trying to go back to school, she has to be honest about shitting throughout her entire short lived high school career. She said it in the past, but she can sure as hell get the same grades as Rachel if she applied herself and just...not fight everyone. But, she doesn't give a shit about Blackhell as a whole.

Now that she's not at that school, she can surely push herself to get some good grades...maybe skip a grade or two and graduate online high school by 20. No, that's unrealistic. She's turning 20 soon. 21 is more realistic.

It's been weeks since she's been released from the hospital, two weeks to be exact. There's still a small twinge in her diaphragm, so she can't really bend down too much in hopes that she doesn't pull something, even though the doctors assure her that it's fine. She notices how bad her roots are showing and heads to the bathroom with her hair dye, hoping to touch them up. It's also growing at a weirdly fast rate.

When she finishes, she cleans the bathroom and wraps a towel on her hair. She misses Rachel being able to touch it up and blow dry it in the way she liked so much, but now she's dead and Chloe has to rely on herself to do it. It isn't that hard due to the six months of radio silence, but Rachel was always the stylish one between them. Chloe only provided the music and drugs.

She was also the one that knew what the fuck to do. The first time Chloe tried to retouch her hair on her own, she almost burned herself and got blue hair dye on one of her sheets. It still has a faint stain.

She combs and blow dries her hair, then out on some clean clothes. There's nothing for her to do. God, now that the mystery of Rachel is solved, there's nothing else to do. School has already been dealt with, and she doesn't always work either. She probably can't work at the shop anymore because of her injury. Fuck. It was nice having a job at the mechanic shop, but hey — she might get a better job one day and she can't wait for that.

It occurs to Max that in two days, Halloween is here. She hasn't really done much for Halloween because her friends never invited her to any costume parties and her school's costume party always sucked ass. Nonetheless, she expects Blackwell to go all out despite the Vortex Club being disbanded. When the club shut down, Dana still made sure that they had a costume party, with help from Juliet, Hayden, and Taylor. Max wasn't gonna go at first, but hell — Halloween comes once a fucking year.

She could always upgrade her childhood pirate costume. She still has her eye patch so now she needs other outfit pieces and embellishments.

So she finds herself inside the car, riding to the nearby mall with Victoria. The funny thing is, Arcadia Bay doesn't have a mall. Max has never ridden in a car with anyone other than Chloe so when she enters Victoria's Porsche she feels...weird. Victoria's playlist is weirder, but it's Victoria. She listens to a lot of top 40 while Max would rather listen to indie rock. Chloe liked classic and punk rock, but she unironically has a Beyonce album in her shuffle playlist, which shocked Max.

"What? You cannot deny the true power of Queen Bey," Chloe had defended. "Plus, everyone has at least one mainstream artist they can stomach, Maxine."

"What are you gonna be for Halloween?" Max inquires.

"A huge lesbian flag," Victoria replies, sarcastically, with a smirk. "Honestly? I'm not even sure. That's why we're going to the mall, am I right?"

Victoria should totally go as one of those characters from her comics, Max says to herself. She still remembers finding a glowing wig in Victoria's room from when she went to scan Victoria's room for clues and while it surprised her, it made Victoria a lot more dynamic in her opinion. "I'm going as a pirate."

"Embracing your inner Jack Sparrow or something?"

Max shrugs. "Something like that."

When they get to the mall, the first place they head is a Halloween shop that appears at the vacant lot almost every year from September to November. Max finds a complete costume, but she hated the fake jewelry that came with it so right after she pays for her costume she heads to a novelty jewelry store while Victoria checks out a cosplay store. After getting her embellishments, she waits for Victoria to finish.

When she steps out, Max tries to peer into Victoria's bag. "Don't be nosey, Gayfield."

"Hey! You know my costume, so why can't I know yours?"

"Because, I say so. Now, let's get something to eat before we go back to Blackwell."

The party is really fun, despite not having any drugs or alcohol swimming around. It's held somewhere other than the pool area, which has a lot of advantages because now everyone can dance and socialize instead of getting high. Nonetheless, Max has the time of her life. When she meets up with Victoria, she was surprised that she didn't go as a Final Fantasy character. Although, Victoria gets so mad that no one knew who she went as.

Except for Mikey North, who kept calling her Marisa Kirisame all night. "Jesus H. Christ. Is Mikey North the only other person who plays Touhou in this blasted school?" Victoria complains.

"Yes," Mikey replies. "Trust me, I've asked."

What surprises Max is that Kate turned out, but she went as an angel (which a lot of people weren't surprised by but she came, which is a surprise especially after what happened at the last party she attended). "Nice costume," Max compliments, which brings a smile on Kate's face, that lasts almost the entire night.

Chloe shows up two hours late with a similar outfit to Max's. "Dude!"

"I thought you said you were gonna wear the captain's blazer," Max points out.

"Yeah, and then it ripped," Chloe grimaces. "But hey, I'm still Cap'n Chloe." She looks to the left, looking at Victoria. "Marisa Kiribitch!"

"Bite me, Kari Price!" Victoria shouts back.

"Will you two ever get along?" The glares she received from both girls indicate that it will never happen. "Ok, ok, forget I ever asked!"

When the party ends, Max goes with Chloe and they just hang out at the train tracks, eating leftover candy from the party. Max remembers the time she had to save Chloe many times over here and it makes her kind of scared to stay there, but Chloe's walking around with a grin on her face, with a bottle of "rum" in her hand (it isn't rum, it's iced tea) and belting out You Are A Pirate.

"I didn't know you still liked that song," Max grins.

"It's an anthem, Caulfield," Chloe says back. "Plus, why the fuck not, you know?"

Max shakes her head. Chloe pulls her aside and they walk further down the tracks, their arms around their shoulders, until they hear an oncoming train. Max instantly freezes, prompting Chloe to pull her aside, away from the train tracks, until the train passes. "Max, you ok? You froze for a moment there."

"Yeah." Max shakes the memories from Chloe's blood curdling screams before she gets hit by the train over and over and over again. She really hoped she could forget about shit like that, but unfortunately she can't. No matter what.

"Let's get you to your dorm."

Chloe gets accepted into online school. It doesn't surprise her, but she knows that she will not take this opportunity for granted. Should she tell mom and David? They would be hella proud of her of course. In a million years, she never thought of telling David anything, but he's a part of the family unless her mother sees something that she saw for a very long time: he's not that great. Oh well, here goes.

"I'm going back to school," she says during breakfast.

Joyce snaps her head to the side, looking at Chloe like she grew two heads. "Did you just say you were going back to school?"

"Yes, mom. It isn't April Fools yet. I am actually going back to school. I just got accepted to an online school so I can get my diploma and go to college before I turn 30—" Before Chloe finishes, Joyce gets up and hugs her daughter. "—and become an engineer. Mom, come on, it's not that big."

"Yes it is," she says, with happy tears in her eyes. "My baby's getting her life back on track and that's all I ever wanted. David's going to be so proud to hear that."

Chloe lets her mother have that. Why not? "I start tomorrow."

She barely even tells her mother she quit her job recently, but it's not like she cares much. Joyce has told Chloe many times that she hated that job, so she figures that she might as well just quit now that she's not really at her best, after getting shot. She watches her mom leave the house, presumably to go to work, and now she's alone.

What happened on Halloween night has been on her mind for a little while. It isn't the first time Chloe noticed Max having a lost or forlorn look on her face, but when Chloe asks what's up, Max says something different and probably unrelated. It happened at the hospital and at the harbor. Chloe knows her best friend. She knows if something is troubling Max. So, maybe she has to ask Max about it, hoping that she will say something instead of dodging it.

She just has to play her cards right. Chloe can easily convince anyone to tell her the truth. It has worked many times in the past, and it surely can work this time.

She meets up with Max later in the day, after her classes. They decide to stay at Chloe's home, because now it's just too cold. Weirdly, right after Halloween, it instantly gets chilly to the point where Chloe has to wear a little more than a leather jacket. She hates the cold. It's the reason why she wanted to go to California with Rachel. "What's up?" Max questions.

Chloe cuts right to the chase. "What's going on with you Max? Ever since I woke up from my coma, you've been really deep in thought. Like...for example, on Halloween, you froze instead of moving out the way when the train was coming."

"Nothing," Max answers.

Chloe frowns. "Bullshit, Max. There's something bothering you and I wanna know what it is. We're friends, remember?" She pauses. "I would ask you if it was because of the kiss, but you've been like that even before that."

Max opens and closes her mouth. Should the truth come out now, about her former rewind powers and picture hopping? About everything that has happened before the storm that ruined Arcadia Bay in an alternate timeline? About saving William in one timeline? About solving the mystery of Rachel, about Nathan, and Jefferson, and how Kate tied into this? About Kate attempting suicide?

What about her relationship with Chloe? Does she need to know about how she fell for Chloe in the other timeline and is seemingly falling for her once again in this one? And, oh god, Rachel's extramarital relationships with Frank and Mr. Jefferson. Shit.

"Chloe, I don't know how to say this, but if I do say it, you have to promise me you won't freak out when I tell you."

"Dog, Maxine, it's like you're gonna tell me something extraterrestrial like you having time manipulating powers or something. Just tell me."

"Ok, but it's a long story." Max inhales, preparing herself with what she wants to say first. "I used to have time manipulating powers."

"I was kidding that time," Chloe states.

"Yeah but now i'm not. I used to be able to rewind time, and time-hop between pictures...and one time I froze time to save my friend Kate from killing herself."

"Kate tried to kill herself?"

Max nods. "But that's irrelevant right now. It started on Monday, October 7th, when you went to the girls' bathroom to discuss something with Nathan." Max explains everything that was supposed to happen if Max were to set off the fire alarm. She held nothing back. She even told Chloe about Rachel's extramarital relationships, and about their friendship turning into something more. She tells Chloe about what happened when Max saved William, and the outcome. It's an emotional conversation, which reduces both girls to tears, especially after Chloe heard about Rachel having relationships with two older men while they had their something.

"Fuck," Chloe mutters.

"I told you it was a lot."

"But shit," Chloe tries to wrap her head around everything. "Rachel was using me, one of your friends tried to kill herself, and we had something more?"

"Yeah."

"And you tried to save my dad, but you had to watch me die slowly but surely."

"Yeah," Max says.

Chloe puts her hands on her face. This was too much. She thought Rachel was loyal, but instead — no. Rachel was manipulated by two older, gross ass men. That was it. Rachel may have had relationships with them, but she was barely fucking legal before her death. Plus, Frank is almost in his thirties for fuck's sake. And Jefferson. That is crossing a line. He's a teacher, and Rachel was his student. That's abuse of power. Chloe isn't a stupid girl. She knew what was up.

She really wished the Save Dad timeline would've been better. Max, in the Vortex Club? Chloe is still trying to get used to Max's unexpected friendship with Victoria in this timeline. And Chloe almost dying because of her disability? It's madness. Rachel was still missing in that timeline, so maybe Jefferson was still doing his shitty photo dungeon thing, probably keeping her hostage instead of killing her.

Chloe slowly concludes to believe that the universe wanted her dead, especially after hearing Max tell her of her many times with death — the train tracks, the gun play at the junkyard, getting shot by Jefferson, almost getting harmed by Frank...it was inevitable that in someway, Chloe had to die. There was supposed to be a storm that ruined Arcadia Bay and Max had to choose between her best friend or Arcadia Bay. Max had chose to save Arcadia Bay, but there had to be a way to save Chloe because Max didn't want her best friend to die.

That's where the new Hospital Timeline — the current timeline —came into fruition.

And there was the other thing — Chloe and Max. It didn't surprise Chloe at all to hear that she had something with Max at this other timeline. After that kiss in the hospital, she has thought of Max in a different way that is beyond friendship and hopes that Max noticed it too. Maybe they can assess that later, but now, she needed some air.

"Chloe? You ok?"

Chloe glances up and stares at Max. "I don't know. I just had to hear from you that Rachel was cheating on me and that I was supposed to be dead if you didn't intervene. It's just...it's too much. I need some air."

"Oh." Max looks disappointed, which breaks Chloe's heart a little. She didn't want that to happen. "Uh, should I leave?"

"I'll drop you off at campus."

The ride is silent. It reminds Max of the time they found out about Rachel's cheating in the other timeline, which caused Chloe to have an emotional breakdown over Rachel's lying, and it was just a terrible time for both girls. That's when Max discovered her picture hopping ability. When she gets back to campus, Max watches her drive off, and she goes back to her dorm, holding back tears.
