MANY THINGS

First, Max has a self-preservation streak. I respect that, he is 12, I get why he doesn’t want to throw himself in harms way, especially when he just got throw into this less than a week ago

Second Johnny’s FIRST instinct is that , while he was scared, he is trying to shield his friends. Mad Respect right there

Third, Dimitri is reaching there as well. I assume he is trying to catch the ball to that Jeff is “out” and he is out of the game.

Fourth, the lighting. I thought that this might be the moment that Johnny awakens his spectral powers, but there is light around Dimitri too. So either this means that they are BOTH secret/unknown Spectrals, or those two were Puppet-Jeff’s TRUE targets, and Max realized he made a mistake.
