The series also featured some pretty progressive characters and plotlines for the time period, featuring a lesbian main character, Original Cindy (Valarie Rae Miller) and the first television episode ever featuring a trans actor (Jessica Crockett) playing a trans character.
They can't touch, which turns into all kinds of sexual tension and angst. Their romantic entanglement becomes more complicated in season 2, after Max has been recaptured by Manticore and they inject her with a virus specifically designed to kill Logan, who has revealed them to the world. The two begin developing romantic feelings for each other, which turns into a "will they, won't they" for the ages. He ends up being injured and confined to a wheelchair after the mission goes wrong, and Max decides to join him out of guilt. Logan is an underground journalist who uses his platform to fight corruption, and he tries to recruit Max to help him, but she declines. In that time she's managed to make something of a life for herself: working as a bike courier, making friends with her co-workers, and eventually meeting rogue reporter Logan Cale (Michael Weatherly).
Max has been on the run from Manticore, the company that engineered her, since she was nine years old (the pulse happened shortly after she escaped).
