[[Agamya Akhtar]], with whom Maxie had been having trouble getting along, spoke to her and Giles about her fear that the Box A.I. was malevolent and should not be awakened; although she continued her work, Maxie was rattled by these concerns and ended up procrastinating, working slowly and avoiding any real breakthroughs to delay the possible catastrophe. Eventually, Giles forced her to come along on a mission to [[Bildbriain Dairies]] to get her out of H.Q. and help her clear her head. She took Box along, and, after the team found themselves captured by [[the Greth]], Box, now able to communicate through text messages on her screen, convinced Agamya to vouch for her and let Maxie take the risk of fully "freeing" Box, if she thought the possibility of Box saving them was worth the risk. Maxie agreed, bluffing the Greth by playing on her [[Gendar (species)|Gendar]] heritage and getting it to let her connect Box to the [[internet]] — though not before ensuring the rest of the team would not overhear her confessing to her nonhuman parentage, which she was still unwilling to share. After Box indeed saved the day, Maxie and Agamya had a talk, agreeing they were [[Friendship|friends]] from now on.

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 Caves 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. ([[WC]]: {{cs|Doctor X (webcast)}}) | |||
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.
