Maximillian is a cocky criminology student at the local college encountered by Henry when he has to fill in for an ex-partner one day. Max mentions that the class is supposed to be online, and when Henry says that's a terrible way to learn police work he immediately gets on Henry's bad side by replying "Then why do I have all A's?" Henry decides to test him like he would a young Shawn and tells him to close his eyes. Max initially replies that they "don't do quizzes," and once he scornfully complies he's not able to answer Henry's questions about the number of hats/rows in the room and what color shirt he's wearing. His examination is cut short when Henry receives a text from Shawn and takes his students on a "field trip" to take down Ian Collins. As Henry shoots out a tire on Ian's SUV and makes the arrest, Max gains an instant respect for him and remarks "Best class ever!" before applauding him along with his fellow students.
Trivia[]
- Henry asking Max "How many hats are in the room?" is a direct call-back to the opening scene of the pilot, where Henry asks Shawn the exact same question.
