In season 2, episode 6 of Catfish: The TV Show, hosts Nev and Max help Jen investigate her online relationship with Skylar. Jen and Skylar have been dating online for four years, but they've never met in person. Although Skylar lives in the same city as Jen, they've never managed to align their schedules to meet up. In fact, Jen is starting to suspect that Skylar might not be telling her the truth about who he really is.
Jen tells Nev and Max that she and Skylar talk on the phone every night and share intimate details about their lives. However, Skylar has never sent her a photo of himself and always seems to be busy when she suggests meeting up. Jen is worried that Skylar might be catfishing her, but she's also afraid of losing the connection they've built over the last four years.
Nev and Max start their investigation by looking at Skylar's social media profiles. They find a lot of red flags, including photos that seem to be taken from other people's accounts and inconsistencies in Skylar's age and location. Nev and Max also try to talk to Skylar themselves, but he doesn't respond to their messages.
As the investigation continues, Jen starts to get frustrated and upset. She feels like she's wasted the last four years talking to someone who might not even be who he says he is. Meanwhile, Nev and Max discover some surprising information about Skylar's true identity.
By the end of the episode, Jen is faced with a difficult decision. Should she continue to pursue a relationship with Skylar, even if he doesn't turn out to be who he said he was? Or should she move on and try to find someone who is willing to be honest with her from the beginning? Nev and Max help Jen come to a conclusion about what's best for her and her future happiness.
Overall, season 2, episode 6 of Catfish: The TV Show is a dramatic and emotional exploration of the consequences of online dating and the importance of honesty in any relationship.
