Tony and Maya
a.k.a.
Description
A romantic
couple in
Y2, comprised of
Tony Verdeschi and
Maya.
This relationship (arguably) does not seem to exist
early in the season, is definitely started by the 5-6th episode
(fifth in production order, probably 5th or more likely 6th,
timeline-wise), and further develops slowly(?) over time.
However, it is possible canon would allow for a much
more rapid development "behind the scenes" as well.
Details are presented from canon.

Details
- "The Metamorph":
met after this episode
(this meeting was not shown in the series).
- "The Exiles" (403+ DAB): obvious good working relationship,
slightly tactile, but no real separation anxiety.
- OMOH (515 DAB):
Koenig indicates "Tony is in love with Maya" (VERIFY exact wording),
and Maya reacts with a sad look; but it is not clear
to the Editor if it represents true feelings,
an overstatement, a reversed statement,
John setting up a ruse to get Zamara
to bring Maya to Vega as well (and Maya playing along),
or even some combination thereof.
Note that Maya does not actually say anything
in that scene fragment.
- ATG (565 DAB):
Dave Reilly makes a pass at Maya,
but her response seems to be more confusion than anything,
as if (arguably) not grasping what he's trying to say or do.
Tony looks annoyed, but Helena quietly says Maya can handle herself
("she's a quick study").
Tony's annoyance could be of a boyfriend in a relationship that's
not widely known, but he could just be acting as a concerned and
protective friend (that she's not used to Dave's type),
or maybe somewhere in between
(e.g. that Tony is interested in her, hasn't made a move yet,
but is annoyed about the latter try).
- MOA (640 DAB):
Tony concerned about her while she's away on mission.
- JTW (undated, but probably between ~570-890 --
perhaps in latter part):
obvious signs that they're dating now and have
a relationship, probably early in its development.
See Tony and Maya in JTW for more details.
- NANE (1095 DAB):
Magus tries pairing
Tony with Helena and
John with Maya.
- ABC (1288 DAB):
Tony is not present in the episode,
but at the end, Maya tells John that she
"really must go: I promised to have lunch with Tony."
- "Beta Cloud" (1503 DAB):
Very protective of each other.
Thinking they're going to die,
Tony declares his love to her; they kiss.
He later withdraws the words as "wild garbage."
She's miffed.
See Tony and Maya in βC
- SOD (1608):
Seem on friendly (but not necessarily affectionate?) terms
after Tony's waffling (see prior point),
though they hold hands when running.
Tony talking to "the mutineer" in her room,
showing his humor is still intact around her,
though at the moment, she's being serious and says so.
- MOB (1702):
Maya seems quite
tolerant of Shermeen's crush on Tony,
either because he's not reciprocating, or due to the waffling.
She somewhat cryptically describes her relationship with Tony as a
"beautiful friendship."
- "Space Warp" (1807):
as she falls further into mysterious illness,
pleads for Tony to be there
(verify: "Where is Tony? I want Tony.")
- BOW (1912)
- "Dorzak" (~2009 DAB):
Maya repeatedly turns to Tony to plead to meet and later free
Dorzak;
with John absent, Tony is in
temporary command of Alpha,
yet she also seems to be drawing on their relationship too.
He repeatedly grasps her arm or shoulder at various points.
Tony asks "her"
(not knowing he is talking to a metamorphosed Dorzak)
to share a meal in a "French restaurant"
or some "relaxing time" in zero-G,
and calls her "sweetheart" in a Bogart/Casablanca-style accent.
He rushes to re-awaken her from
stasis.
She observes (in surgical mask and gown)
a surgery Tony is going through.
- "Immunity Syndrome" (2310+ DAB):
After Tony is driven mad and disappears while
a team explores the planet,
Maya, back on Alpha, comes to Helena,
expressing deep worry about Tony.
Later, when Maya is on the planet, and Tony has been found,
injured and now on a gurney(?), rushes to his side.
- "The Dorcons" (2409 DAB):
Tony tries to comfort the distressed Maya, punches
Stewart when the latter states
they should just let the
Dorcons have her,
tries protecting her against a Dorcon invasion party,
gets stunned for his efforts and doesn't see her final
surrender and removal from Alpha,
but upon her rescue (by
John) and return,
embraces (or at least holds) her.
