"Yes, it's true! A new girl comes to town and tries to steal Max's heart.
The character (currently named "Tess"), will appear in episodes 16 through
21 and possibly recur next season (if there is a next season). At the
moment, it's a big secret as to who she may be, but the writers added her
because the Max/Liz thing is getting flat and they wanted to liven things
up a bit. Don't worry, Liz will still be around...stay tuned for further
updates as they become available."
