Zoey's Extraordinary Silence

Ava approaches Max one night while he is working late. Max is surprised that Ava knows his name, but Ava declares that she knows all the star players at SPRQ Point. She tells Max to meet her the next day at 11 AM sharp on the sixth floor of SPRQ Point. Max reminds Ava that the next day is Saturday, but Ava says she will make coming in on his day off worth his while. The next day, when Max arrives on the sixth floor, Ava startles him and welcomes him. Ava tells Max that everyone was impressed by his participation in the Chirp presentation and that she wants him on her team, complimenting his creativity. She formally offers him the chance to manage his own team on the sixth floor, giving him 72 hours to respond. At the end of the episode, Ava shakes hands with Max, implying that he accepted her offer.

Zoey's Extraordinary Outburst

Ava looks impressed when Max makes his first speech to the sixth-floor team. When Leif goes up to the sixth floor to get the Chirp code back from Max, Ava approaches and asks how the Chirp is going. While Leif delves into the details, Ava sends a text message. After Leif asks Max for the files, Ava tells Max not to give them to him, announcing that she texted Danny Michael Davis and convinced him to let the sixth floor work on the Chirp as well, starting a bake-off between the floors. Later, when the entire fourth-floor team comes to the sixth floor and Joan tells Max to come with them, Ava is adamant that he stay. When Max asks what's going on, Joan says that Ava never applied for a transfer, but Ava insists that Max wanted to work with them because they value him. Joan says Ava only recruited Max because of his Chirp files, but Ava just says she has an eye for talent. Joan and Ava start singing "The Boy Is Mine," and the fourth and sixth-floor teams have a showdown. After the song, Max decides to stay on the sixth floor, and Ava gloats as Joan leads her coders out.

Zoey's Extraordinary Mother

When Joan asks to meet her on the fifth floor, Ava declares that it's a dramatic choice for neutral ground and that it would be a great place to kill someone. Joan bemoans she and Ava think alike and tells her that someone from her team has been leaking information down to the fourth floor. Ava asks if it is Max, and Joan tells her that it was Leif. Ava says that Leif needs to be fired immediately, but Joan says she can handle the situation. Ava asks Joan why she is telling her instead of just using the sixth floor's work against them, and Joan says she likes to fight fair. Ava asks what they should do about it, and Joan says that as the top two ranking women at SPRQ Point, they should band together for once. Later, Joan and Ava address both the fourth and sixth-floor teams together. They announce that rather than fighting, they are going to work together. Joan and Ava start singing “Get Together” as coders from different teams embrace. Later that night, Ava asks to see Max in her office. Ava tells Max that Leif has been sending their code to the fourth floor, which is why they had to end the bake-off. Ava tells Max that she can't let someone with the kind of judgment to allow Leif onto his team to lead her team and fires him.

Zoey's Extraordinary Reckoning

While discussing racism at SPRQ Point with Mo and Tatiana, Simon mentions that there are only two people of color in managerial positions at SPRQ Point worldwide. After saying this, he corrects himself and says there is only one because Ava quit after Joan was promoted over her.

## Physical Appearance and Style

Ava often dresses in dark colors, complementing the dark, gloomy nature of her workplace on the sixth floor of SPRQ Point.

## Personality

Ava is an aloof, formidable woman. She speaks very formally and refuses to use nicknames; she calls Max "Maxwell" instead (however, she calls Joan "Joanie" in "Zoey's Extraordinary Mother.) After Ava finds out that Leif leaked code to the fourth floor during the bake-off, she fires Max almost immediately.
