Max spends the entirety of Season 3 of "In The Dark" attempting to deny his feelings for Murphy. The last episode shows him paying a visit to Murphy while she's behind bars, with Felix accompanying him. Max confesses his toxic attraction to her and declares that he's looking for stability in his life. So, it sounds like his relationship with Felix's sister, Leslie (Marianne Rendon), might be Max's — and, by extension, actor Casey Deidrick's — way off the show. If so, he will join Jess in successfully escaping Murphy's mess and leaving her behind to take the fall for everything bad that's happened with them. Even if Murphy is responsible for causing most of it.
It looks like Felix and Murphy might be the only ones together for the long haul, which is unexpected considering their once-contentious relationship. But, if Felix stays in Murphy's life while she battles both Nia's prison cronies and an arduous trial, she might just always have a tie to Max through his relationship with Leslie. The CW has already greenlit Season 4 of "In The Dark," but has not yet announced a release date. Therefore, although the Season 3 finale is concerning, it might not be the end of Murphy's complicated story with Max in her life.
