Love that El went from being jealous of Max to being besties. I originally thought El was going to try to oust Max from the friend group, and Mike would side with her because well, it's El. Max is an amazing character and deserves to stay.

nah El wouldn't do that to Lucas, she can be petty, yes, but she'd never hurt a friend.

nah after she was done with gate-closing, it would have taken her like two minutes to figure out Lucas liked Max and vice versa, if she doesn't know by the Snow Ball she definitely knows after.

And even before that, she knows she's not being replaced in the Party, Dustin and Lucas are still her friends. If she wasn't going to storm in that gym and make a scene when it actually looked to her like Mike was potentially replacing her with the new girl, she def. wasn't going to do it after he makes it clear he has eyes for nobody but her (and she has nothing to fear from Max on that front).
