The first one seems like more like a moment of emotional breakdown and the second is more about her trying to fix her mistake. If we're looking for 3 moments that suggest Maya could have some as-yet untapped or unrealised strength of character, I'd say these could be better examples:The emotional outburst when she told MC that the father wants another daughter.
During her gender studies, she insisted on speaking to MC. (She went to MC passionately and sexy)
And when she hit Quinn in the face.
- After her Dad visited, she steeled herself with greater determination to join the HOTs in order to get out from under his thumb. It shows just how much she wants to get away from him that, at least at this point, she was willing to do whatever it took to be free of him. With him visiting again and should he still be there for a confrontation, it may just set Maya off given what happened at the end of Ep 6.
- Her decision about how to treat the throuple relationship in Ep 5. It felt like a very mature decision to essentially say they shouldn't get too ahead of themselves and it even seems to surprise Josy that she says this. It shows that Maya can find the strength to make important decisions even if it might be difficult and it's something that she can and should do more often.
- Slapping Quinn. Definitely the biggest moment of strength for Maya to puch back against Quinn in this way and to so boldly do that in front of everyone else. I doubt even Riona has ever raised a hand to Quinn and in fact we've seen Quinn do that to Riona, so it almost felt a bit like karmic payback. It certainly signified she was done with Quinn's bullshit and maybe it's a sign of things to come with her Dad since.
