On [[23 November]] [[2020]], a [[curse]]d [[DVD]], which Giles had bought through [[eBay]] under the misapprehension that it was a copy of the rare ''[[Doctor X]]'' episode ''[[Doctor X and the Caverns of Andostar]]'', fried all of P.R.O.B.E. HQ's electronics. It took Maxie two days to repair them completely. In the interim, working from an Internet café, Giles and the others believed they had traced the location of [[Magister1971|the DVD's seller]], and travelled there while leaving Maxie to her work. In their absence, HQ was raided by the seller, who had deliberately sent the team on a wild goose chase; he locked Maxie in her own office and turned the place inside-out until he found his prize, a [[Nolvox]] [[control node]]. Maxie was released when the others returned from Bedfordshire on [[25 November]], but was unable to give them any details on her attacker.

On [[9 January]] [[2021]], when [[Liz Haggard]] unofficially asked for [[Giles]]'s help in using [[P.R.O.B.E.]]'s resources to track down her kidnapped granddaughter [[Elizabeth Holub]], Maxie used her technical know-how to bypass the normal paperwork and procedures for P.R.O.B.E. to access the [[Ministry of Defence]]'s surveillance feeds. However, she stayed behind when Giles and Liz subsequently drove to Elizabeth's location, [[Sherwood Forest]]. ([[HOMEVID]]: {{cs|Sherwood Sorceress (home video)}}) | |||
On [[3 March]] [[2021]], Giles had Maxie look over the footage anonymously sent to them as proof that [[Lauren Anderson]] was innocent of the slaughter of her colleagues and patients years prior. She found no evidence of the videos being doctored, and she and Giles met up with the source, Lor, who turned out to be none other than Lauren Anderson, who'd been living on the run since being framed. Maxie helped Lor and Giles defeat the love wraith [[Stacey Facade]], who had been feeding off of Lauren, once and for all. ([[HOMEVID]]: {{cs|Lauren Anderson (home video)}}) Soon after, in the days leading up to [[10 March]], Maxie helped Giles dispose of a murderous interdimensional "[[Living Fiction]]" entity inhabiting a film reel, with the two of them trying various method before landing on the idea of simply exposing the film reel to direct sunlight — a weakness both of vintage film reels and of the classic movie [[vampire]]s that the entity was emulating.

Maxie kept a [[time detector]] in her office. With it, she was able to detect [[Faction Paradox]] activity in [[London]] on [[28 March]]. However, after P.R.O.B.E. came close to cracking the Faction's scheme, the Faction went back in time and stole the time detector from Maxie, preventing her from ever having found out about their presence. Due to her species' sensitivity to time anomalies, however, she got a [[headache]] from the temporal manipulation to which she had fallen victim.

By [[4 April]], the whole team was aware of Maxie's nature as a non-human. That day, she was abruptly taken ill; it would later be discovered that this was due to an allergic reaction to pollen of some of the plants recovered by P.R.O.B.E. from [[Ogden Farm]]. Fearing the worst, and having no other way of curing her which he was sure would work on her Gendar biology, Giles took the drastic step of injecting Maxie with a dose of [[Cyberon (drug)|Cyberon]]. Although this did stop the fit and fever, the drug proved far more potent on a Gendar than a human with this single injection being enough for the Cyberon intelligence to completely take over Maxie's body. | By [[4 April]], the whole team was aware of Maxie's nature as a non-human.
