Kya is a high school student who has been talking to Alyx for a few months. They met on Facebook and Alyx is a musician, who Kya thinks might be the love of her life. The only catch is that they have never met in person, and whenever Kya suggests meeting up, Alyx always seems to have an excuse.
Kya's friend reaches out to Nev and Max, saying that she thinks something is not right with Alyx. The guys immediately start their investigation, and they soon find out that Alyx's Facebook profile is fake. They discover that the pictures Alyx has been using are actually of another musician, named Alex, who is completely unaware that someone is using his pictures.
The biggest shock of the investigation comes when Nev and Max get in touch with the person behind the Alyx profile. Her name is Cierra, and she is actually Kya's ex-girlfriend. Kya had cheated on Cierra, and after their break-up, Cierra created the Alyx profile to get back at Kya. She even went so far as to create a whole persona and record songs in order to keep up the charade.
When they confront Cierra, she is apologetic but doesn't quite seem to grasp how her actions have affected Kya. Kya is understandably angry and hurt, but she is grateful to have Nev and Max's support. The guys help Kya to understand that the situation wasn't her fault and encourage her to move on from the unhealthy relationship she had with Cierra.
The episode includes a lot of drama, as Kya grapples with the reality of the situation. It also sheds light on the darker aspects of online dating and the dangers of creating fake profiles to deceive people. The episode serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of being careful and aware when interacting with people online.
Overall, the episode is emotional, intense, and eye-opening. It shows the power of social media to connect people, but also highlights its potential to be used in harmful ways. It is a must-watch for anyone interested in online dating or who wants to learn more about the potential pitfalls of social media.
