The boys clock a new skater in the schoolyard; in class Mr. Clarke introduces Maxine from California, who insists on Max.

Lucas and Dustin debate whether a girl can be Mad Max while watching her through binoculars, until she leaves them a note.

The self-described non-stalkers pitch Max on bullies, a working ghost trap and full-sized candy bars; she calls them presumptuous and they panic over the word.

Max's stepbrother makes her say whose fault Hawkins is, then swerves at the boys in the road for bonus points. The kids finally learn who Mad Max is.

Dustin and Lucas butcher California slang for Max's benefit while Mike complains to Will that nobody asked him about adding her to the party.

The new girl calls out Lucas for hiding things from her, asks whether they kept secrets from El, and storms off saying she is out.

Max's stepbrother interrogates her about the boy she was talking to and orders her to stay away from him, because they are family now.

In the arcade back room Lucas offers Max the whole truth about last year, if she accepts it could get her killed.

Max treats the whole tale as a prank until Lucas, dead serious, tells her the party's first rule and asks her to just trust him.

Steve approves the bus as a fort, Max arrives with Lucas, and the two boys bicker about who told her until Steve yells at them to help.
