11"Maxine Goes to Palm Beach" Tate Taylor Abe SylviaMarch 20, 2024 (2024-03-20)
In 1969, social-climbing Maxine is determined to join the ranks of high society in Palm Beach, Florida. Sneaking into the Palm Royale country club, she attempts to befriend socialites Mary, Raquel, and rivals Dinah and Evelyn, whom she has admired from "The Shiny Sheet", but she is escorted out by the bartender Robert, a Korean War veteran. Maxine crosses paths with women's liberationist Linda, and stages a fender-bender to ingratiate herself to Dinah. Rejecting Maxine for her dated wardrobe — pilfered from her comatose aunt-in-law, wealthy Norma Dellacorte — Dinah confides that she is pregnant with the child of her lover Eddie, the club's tennis pro. Maxine arranges an abortion for her with Linda's help, but Dinah refuses to sponsor Maxine's membership to the Palm Royale, accusing her of lying about her connection to the Dellacortes. In retaliation, Maxine spreads rumors and is confronted by Dinah, who realizes Maxine's husband Douglas really is Norma's nephew and heir-apparent to her fortune. Maxine blackmails Dinah into sponsoring her, while Evelyn denounces Maxine for tricking Douglas into marrying her.
22"Maxine Saves a Cat"Tate Taylor Sheri Holman March 20, 2024 (2024-03-20)
Pawning Norma's jewelry to fund her new lifestyle, Maxine needs two more sponsors to become a full Palm Royale member, and donates $10,000 to Mary's charity auction in exchange for sponsorship. Dinah is furious when Maxine catches the eye of both Eddie and her husband Perry, Nixon's ambassador to Luxembourg. Despite Evelyn's hostility, Maxine befriends Ann, the new society columnist, and learns that Linda is Evelyn's estranged stepdaughter, born Penelope Rollins. Accompanying Linda to a feminist collective meeting led by fellow activist Virginia, Maxine suggests that she, like their movement, is disrupting society from the inside. Stealing a statuette of Bastet for the auction from Norma's disused mansion, Maxine discovers Robert living there. She inadvertently reignites Dinah's affair with Eddie, and Ann identifies the statuette as a rare artifact, resulting in Maxine bidding $75,000 to keep it from Evelyn. Maxine reveals to Linda that Douglas married her when she was pregnant, but lost the baby, leading Norma and others to believe she lied to trap him. Linda kindly signs on as Maxine's third sponsor, while Robert visits Norma, who shows signs of reawakening.
33"Maxine's Like a Dellacorte"Abe Sylvia Sharr White March 20, 2024 (2024-03-20)
Though Maxine is evicted from her motel for nonpayment, her auction escapades land her on the coveted front page of the Shiny Sheet. When a jealous Dinah forces her to host a cocktail party, Maxine moves herself into Norma's mansion, but Robert — revealed to be Norma's longtime companion and caretaker — refuses to leave. In a surprise interview with Ann, Maxine agrees to organize Norma's annual "Beach Ball", Palm Beach's most exclusive event, for its 50th year. She enlists Linda's talent for elaborate table-setting, and Linda explains that the town's "charity" events only benefit the wealthy hosts. While Linda enjoys a drink with Robert, Maxine struggles with cocktail orders and condescension from Mary, Raquel, Evelyn, and Dinah as they interrogate her plans for the highly anticipated Beach Ball. Alone with Maxine, Evelyn reveals that Norma refused to leave any of her estate to Douglas, and Maxine admits that she has no money, but coerces Evelyn into joining forces. Maxine and Douglas consummate their new home, unaware Linda has taken Norma's Rolodex of influential guests, essential to the Beach Ball's success.
44"Maxine Rolls the Dice"Abe Sylvia Becky Mode March 27, 2024 (2024-03-27)
Maxine conceals her financial troubles from Douglas, including mounting debts from bad checks, but he quits his career as a pilot. Robert petitions for legal conservatorship of Norma's estate, and Linda admits that she stole the Rolodex to conceal a damaging secret, introducing Robert to her ailing father Skeet, a millionaire-turned-hippie residing at Norma's care facility. At Raquel's gala, Maxine realizes her mobster husband Pinky gave her one of Norma's pawned necklaces, and Mary confronts Maxine about her bounced check. Robert takes back the stolen necklace, but Maxine frames him as the thief and is named Norma's conservator instead. Moving Norma back to her mansion, Maxine tells Douglas he was disinherited, but they now control his aunt's money while she is alive. Having confided to Linda that he is gay, Robert comes to stay at Virginia's feminist bookstore, and Linda removes a card from the Rolodex accusing her of attempted murder. Searching Norma's safety deposit boxes for the missing Rolodex, Maxine finds a shocking wedding invitation and a gun from Norma's collection. She rushes home to find Norma awake, but unable to communicate.
55"Maxine Shakes the Tree" Stephanie Laing Emma RathboneApril 3, 2024 (2024-04-03)
Faced with the invitation, Douglas admits that he and Linda were engaged twenty years earlier, until she shot her father on their wedding day. Maxine attempts to confront Linda, but Virginia turns her away. Newspaper archives reveal the circumstances of the shooting were unclear, but Evelyn believes she was Linda's true target, warning Maxine that the gun must stay hidden. Linda and Virginia inform their collective that the Rolodex is actually Norma's catalogue of blackmail. They agree to test its influence by targeting Perry, who convinces Douglas to invest in his real estate scheme. Dinah drunkenly urges Maxine to pursue an affair with Robert, who declines her advances, while Ann discovers discrepancies in Maxine's personal history. After confronting Douglas, Linda tells Maxine the truth: she meant to shoot Douglas, who was cheating on her with Maxine, but wounded Skeet by mistake, and Norma covered up the incident. Linda burns the Rolodex in front of Norma, and Maxine tosses the gun in the ocean, hoping to put the past behind her.
66"Maxine Takes a Step"Stephanie LaingCeleste HugheyApril 10, 2024 (2024-04-10)
On a tour of NASA, Maxine informs Evelyn that the Rolodex and gun are gone, much to Evelyn's fury. In need of a glamorous guest to encourage attendance at the Beach Ball, Maxine hopes to invite the Prince of Luxembourg, Douglas and Perry's new business partner. She lets slip to Dinah that Perry is sleeping with her manicurist Mitzi, and confronts Robert, who admits that he is gay. Even without the gun, which Norma used as leverage against Linda to force Skeet to marry Evelyn, he has no intention of divorcing her. As Palm Beach celebrates the Apollo 12 launch, the Prince and Princess decline Maxine's invitation, and Evelyn warns that Norma's blackmail kept the rich and powerful in line. Virginia and her comrades expose Perry as a fraud, and Maxine admits to Ann that she used aliases from the Shiny Sheet to escape her past as a poor orphan. Robert presents Maxine with Norma's already prepared Beach Ball invitations, containing veiled threats to attend, and Maxine mails them out. Robert and the Prince begin an affair, and Skeet dies peacefully during an LSD trip with Linda.
77"Maxine Bags a Prince"Abe SylviaLogan Faust & Sheri HolmanApril 17, 2024 (2024-04-17)
As Palm Beach high society gathers for Skeet's funeral, Norma plots to shoot Maxine. Perry is arrested, jeopardizing Douglas, whose investment in Perry and the Prince's scheme has drained Norma's accounts. Dinah turns against Maxine, angling to find herself a new husband. At Linda's behest, her fellow activists steal valuables from the Rollins mansion to fund their mission. Desperate not to be photographed, the Princess seizes Ann's camera, and Maxine and Norma walk in on Robert in bed with the Prince. Mary demands payment from Maxine, and they are forced to help a pregnant activist deliver her baby in the bathtub. Maxine admits to Douglas that she lost their baby just before they were married, while Robert confiscates Norma's guns. Skeet changed his will to name Linda his sole heir, and Douglas is taken by Police Sergeant Tom Sanka for questioning. Now Robert's friend, Maxine recognizes the "Prince" on a wanted poster as con man Reginald Baggins. Realizing he and the "Princess" are frauds, she gives Reginald up to Tom in exchange for Douglas's release.

Evelyn is drawn to the whale, and Dinah has found a wealthy 90-year-old boyfriend, Axel, who once loved Norma. Planning to open an inclusive new club with Pinky, Douglas demands an "investment" from Linda to keep him from helping Evelyn blackmail her. A chance encounter with Tom at a gay bar leads Robert to realize Maxine had the Prince arrested. While he confronts her, Norma drugs Maxine's grasshopper cocktail, which Ann drinks instead. Crashing Dinah's party aboard Axel's yacht with Norma, Maxine imitates whale song and draws the beached whale back to the ocean, as the lonely Evelyn shares a kiss with the jilted Eddie.

Having given Douglas the blackmail information by mistake, Maxine enlists Ann and Virginia's help, but Douglas gives Perry the documents to look over. Spotting Mary, Maxine chases her into the tunnels connecting to the Palm Royale, and emerges at the Dellacorte mansion, grappling with Douglas's decision to marry Mitzi. Perry gives the damaging documents to the Secret Service, who instruct him to kill Linda. Instead, Dinah and the collective break Linda out, swapping her with Axel's corpse, and Maxine and Linda flee into the tunnels.

Federal agents descend on the Rollins mansion in search of Linda, leaving Mary a free woman, and Douglas asks Maxine to return her engagement ring, which she accidentally swallows. Allowing Evelyn to blame Norma for Linda's escape, Maxine recruits Dinah and Ann to help Evelyn withdraw her assets before they can be seized.

Hiding from Pinky in the wake of their failed partnership, Douglas is kidnapped.
