While she liked the poetry part, putting the kibosh on the sex part was rubbing her the wrong way. When Coleman asked them for advice about how to make Jake’s more inviting to the trendy set, Spinelli and Maxie battled over suggestions. Coleman ended up opting for karaoke, a choice which delighted Spinelli but terrified Maxie. She’s afraid that his lack of vocal prowess will lead to public humiliation and ruin their chances of being together.
