They then talk with Trina, who tells them about her relationship with Scorpio and the doubts she has been having. Trina has tried to video chat with Scorpio, but he always seems to have an excuse for why he can't. She also noticed that their conversations are always very generic and surface-level, which makes her think that he might not be who he says he is.

Nev and Max start their investigation by doing a reverse image search on Scorpio's profile picture, but they don't find anything. They then reach out to Scorpio and ask him to video chat with them so they can verify his identity. Scorpio agrees to the video chat but cancels at the last minute, claiming that he had to work.

They interview Trina's friends and family, who are all skeptical of Scorpio's intentions and identity.

Nev and Max decide to do some online digging to see if they can find any information about Scorpio. They find a profile on a different social media site that belongs to a man with a different name but uses the same profile picture. They also find that this man has been involved in various legal issues, including theft and fraud. They reach out to him for more information but don't hear back.

Feeling defeated, Nev and Max return to Trina and tell her what they have found. Trina is heartbroken and feels betrayed by Scorpio. However, she is grateful for the closure that Nev and Max were able to provide her, and she learns an important lesson about the dangers of online dating.
