I agree with Tink. There is a pecking order in animals and Gracie Leigh has become the top dog. Best to let it be.

I know you're both right, but what should I do with Max? He comes to me and whines If I ignore him, he starts barking and pawing me to get my attention.
Should I go get his treat back from her, ignore him, get him a new treat, or just pack my bags and sneak out? It's not her I don't know how to handle, it's him. He definitely wants me to do something.

But Max doesn't want any of the 4 treats, bones, toys, etc. that I offer him. He wants the one Gracie has!
I'm trying to watch TV and he's whining and barking for the soggy wet cookie in her mouth when he has 2 fresh new ones in front of him! Should I just ignore them and make the TV louder?

Yes he is Diana. I've been ignoring his crying as far as intervening. I just pet him and try to sound sympathetic. (and then make the TV louder).
Don't worry Aunt Janet, he's getting new treats when she takes his. He only wants what Gracie has, no matter what I offer him. She may learn to share better or he may learn that he's just not getting what he wants - she's the alpha. He does have an alpha personality, but not around her! She's the dominant one, which is how life should be. The female should always be the boss of all things! Little Miss gets her stitches out tomorrow. Then I get to think of a name to register her with the AKC.
