"She’s dope," Maks says of Erin. "She’s awesome. That was the thing, how amazing this season is, things I didn’t think were going to work, work so well. I didn’t think Erin and I would work together with her being in the Sky Box. I was kind of curious to see what it would be like. And the way it is is incredible. She’s so funny, she’s amazing and so supportive. She’s been brilliant for the show. I think it was the best thing. Her presence makes me feel like I’ve done something here that stayed."
