an episode called "Foreign Exchange Campers" came out in Season 3. Where three exchange students from various countries come to visit, though their real goal was to take revenge on Campbell.

Nikki then was shown spying on Max through binoculars, on the verge of tears from a "handshake" made by Max and the Russian Foreign kid, Vera, who had Max at Knifepoint, unbeknownst to Nikki. Max was smiling out of fear, but Nikki had taken it as genuine happiness. Before the scene changed, Nikki said, "At least he’s found someone that makes him smile." with her eyes full of tears.

Another episode that shows Makki is "Nikki's Last Day on Earth", where after drinking Neil's potion, Nikki's convinced she's going to die. Max refuses to believe this is real and plays it off like usual. But when this goes on for a few hours, Max gets furious, he starts yelling about how she isn‘t going to die, and Nikki then snapped at Max, calling him selfish and how he didn't care she was going to die, this occurred while she was a mood swing and she quickly said “Wow. Sorry about that..” afterwards.. During Prestons play, Max was feeling waves of guilt from the way he treated Nikki, then apologizing to her as soon as the play ended. This was the first time he was genuinely apologizing for his actions to another camper. This episode can be considered one of the most makki-fueled episodes, next to "Eggs Benefits".

In "The Lake Lilac Summer Social", Max and Nikki spend the whole night away from the party trying to cause trouble. Near the middle of the episode, they're seen to be on the roof with the fireworks David was looking for, getting them ready to set off just for them to watch. After catching word of Gwen, a Camp Counselor, trying to play match maker with a love quadrangle involving three campers not from Camp Camp, and their friend Neil, They ditch their night together of watching fireworks on the roof in favor of rigging the ballots for Dance King and Queen, making Gwen dance with the grossest person there, in an act of revenge for getting in their friend's business.

The episode "The Candy Kingpin", shows Nikki with a "Sour Powder Candy" addiction. When Max offers Nikki some of them to spread their business, she gladly accepts.

When the candy disappeared, along with Dolph, Max is portrayed to only be a little concerned. But when Neil points to Nikki, rocking back and forth on the floor, twitching and talking to herself, Max raises his voice and gets completely terrified of the situation.

"Camp Corp" is the season 3 finale where David and Gwen sold the camp to CampCorp, an organization run by the Campwells. The campers were sent to different camps to suit the camp they signed up for. Before they did, Max attempted to hide his emotions by saying he didn't care and they were temporary friends at best, considering they'd be separated once summer ended. Max tried talking to her, but Nikki just gave him a cold "Bye Max." and gave him one last look before entering the bus. Throughout the episode, Max, with the help of David and Cameron Campbell, gets the camp back together, with Gwen, Neil, and Nikki being the last ones they get. After a conversation between Cameron Campbell and the Campwells, reveals that Cameron had only helped to further scam both the Campwells and Camp Camp, After this, Max says “Um, I’m sorry. I didn’t go through all this trouble for Camp Campbell. I did it for you guys. ‘Cause you’re my friends. And I just didn’t want to admit it. Because once the time for us to actually say goodbye., I’d have something to loose. But you know.. Trying to go through life all on your own seems pretty fucking stupid now."
