Max's decision not to meet Helen left fans baffled
Season 5, Episode 11 begins with Max's effort to smooth things over with Wilder after his reaction to seeing his ex Helen on TV. However, Helen then sends a text to Max, asking if the two can meet up. Max spends the episode mulling over whether to see Helen or firmly move on with Wilder. And after a hiking trip that goes disastrously wrong and some welcome advice from Dr. Lauren Bloom (Janet Montgomery), he finally decides to continue pursuing his new relationship with Wilder as they share their first kiss. Unfortunately, some fans on Twitter weren't too pleased with Max's actions. "Seriously," @DreadfulxIves18 began with their post. "This is not the same man who was ready to scream he loves Helen Sharpe from her balcony. This is not the same man who was ready to marry her and start a family with her."
Part of the problem stems from how Max acted on his decision not to meet with Helen. In one of the last scenes of the episode, we see Helen sitting alone in a bar, waiting for him. Yet, Max just stares at her from outside and simply walks away. As some fans noted, it seems like a bizarre move for someone who was heavily in love with her not too long ago. @olicitybuddie posted, "Max Goodwin just stared at Helen from a glass like some weirdo and then run to a person to recreate a scene like he had with Helen. How is this the same man that went with her to London because he couldn't live without her, the same guy? That's not my Max."
