>> JUST, LIKE, MY HEART'S

RACING.

I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A HEART

ATTACK.

>> IF YOU'RE READY, LET'S DO IT.

>> ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.

>> ALL RIGHT.

[doorbell rings]

OH, MY GOD.

HI, I'M NEV, AND THIS IS MY

FILMMAKER BUDDY MAX.



LAST YEAR, WE TRAVELED ACROSS

THE COUNTRY FIGURING OUT

THE TRUTH BEHIND ONLINE

ROMANCES.

I'M READY TO COME MEET YOU IF

YOU THINK YOU'RE REALLY READY.

>> I'M DEFINITELY READY.

>> ALONG THE WAY, WE OPENED

DOORS TO SOME BIG SURPRISES.

>> WAIT, GUYS, GUYS, GUYS, GUYS.

>> WE MADE A FEW LOVE

CONNECTIONS...

>> FEELS AMAZING.

>> AND EVEN DID OUR FAIR SHARE



OF MENDING BROKEN HEARTS.

>> I'M SO HAPPY EVERY DAY WHEN I

WAKE UP NOW.

[sniffles]

>> SUDDENLY, THE IDEA OF

CATFISHING--HIDING WHO YOU

REALLY ARE TO HOOK SOMEONE INTO

AN ONLINE RELATIONSHIP...

>> PROBABLY A PAGEANT WINNER,

A MODEL.

>> WAS BEING TALKED ABOUT BY

A LOT OF YOU.

GOT AN EMAIL HERE.

"WHO DID I REALLY FALL IN LOVE

WITH?"

SO MAX AND I ARE HEADED BACK OUT

ON THE ROAD...

MAX, WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO.

TO INVESTIGATE STORIES THAT SEEM

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...

>> I AM IN DEREK'S DRIVEWAY.

>> OR TOO WILD TO MAKE UP.

>> HE WAS CARJACKED, AND HE WAS

RAN OVER BY THE CAR.

>> JESUS, MAN.

WILL HOPE BECOME LOVE...

>> OH, MY GOD.

>> OR IS LOVE IN FOR A GIANT

SHOCK?

>> [cries] I DON'T KNOW.

>> YOU CAN BE SURE THAT MAX AND

I WILL FIND OUT ALL

THE ANSWERS, BECAUSE SOMETIMES,

A LITTLE BIT OF FICTION...

>> WOW, CATFISH CURVE BALL.

>> LEADS TO A WHOLE LOT OF

REALITY.

THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

>> [laughs]

>> ARE WE READY?

>> LET'S DO IT.

>> CATFISH THE MOVIE WAS MY

STORY.

CATFISH: THE TV SHOW IS YOURS.

HELLO, THERE, AND WELCOME BACK

TO CATFISH.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU

AGAIN.

I'M GLAD YOU'VE TUNED IN.

THESE ARE STORIES OF LOVE,

MYSTERY, PASSION, AND DECEIT.

AND THIS WEEK, I HAVE IN MY

POSSESSION AN EMAIL FROM A

YOUNG MAN NAMED NICHOLAS.

>> CUT, CUT.

>> I FELT THAT WAS GOING WELL.

>> I THINK EVERYONE'S HAD ENOUGH

OF THAT LIKE WHATEVER

SOPHISTICATED VOICE THAT YOU

WERE DOING.

>> IT'S CALLED "STORYTELLING,"

MAX.

GOT AN EMAIL, "FINALLY TURNED

18 AND READY TO MEET MY FIRST

LOVE.

HI, NEV AND MAX.

MY NAME IS NICK, AND I'M

CURRENTLY LIVING IN OCALA,

FLORIDA.

MELISSA IS ALSO 18 YEARS OLD,

LIVES FIVE STATES AWAY IN

DES MOINES, IOWA, AND SHE IS THE

BEST PERSON I KNOW."

>> * A LOVE LIKE THIS

* WON'T LAST FOREVER *

>> "I MET MELISSA ABOUT 6 1/2

YEARS AGO."

>> WOW, THEY WERE 12.

>> "I WAS ON A TILA TEQUILA FAN

PAGE WHERE PEOPLE COULD LEAVE

VOICE MAILS, AND SHE LEFT A

MESSAGE FOR TILA THAT I THOUGHT

WAS REALLY FUNNY."

>> [laughs]

THIS IS FUNNY.

>> "AT FIRST, I WAS GONNA PRANK

CALL HER, BUT WHEN I CALLED,

SHE NEVER HUNG UP.

SO WE JUST KEPT TALKING.

BY THE TIME SIX MONTHS HAD PAST,

WE WERE IN LOVE.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MEETING ALL

THE TIME, BUT IT'S NEVER

HAPPENED.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE DISTANCE

THAT HAS KEPT US APART.

I'VE BEEN HONEST WITH HER, AND

I THINK SHE HAS BEEN HONEST WITH

ME, BUT YOUR SHOW SCARES THE

HELL OUT OF ME.

THE PROBLEM NOW IS THAT I LEAVE

FOR TEXAS ON THE SEVENTH OF

AUGUST.

ONCE THERE, I'LL BE STARTING

SCHOOL FOR TEN MONTHS.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED THIS TO

HAPPEN NOW.

I CAN'T SEE MYSELF WITH ANYONE

BUT HER."

>> * ALOVE LIKE THIS *

* WON'T LAST FOREVER *

*OH *

>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET THIS GUY

ON THE HORN.

NICK.

>> HOW'S IT GOIN'?

>> HEY, MAN.

SO TELL US ABOUT THIS GIRL.

>> WELL, SHE'S FUNNY.

SHE GOT A REAL PRETTY FACE AND

STUFF.

AND SHE'S REAL CARING AND STUFF.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER.

>> AND YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU

FELL IN LOVE AT--AT 12 YEARS

OLD?

>> I DID.

A LOT OF PEOPLE TOLD ME, "IT'S

PUPPY LOVE, YOU'LL GET OVER IT."

BUT HERE IT IS SIX YEARS LATER,

AND NOTHING'S CHANGED.

>> MORE AMAZINGLY, YOU

VIDEO-CHATTED WITH HER.

>> YEAH, IT WAS AT NIGHT, SO WE

COULDN'T REALLY SEE EACH OTHER

THAT MUCH.

>> BUT SHE WAS THE GIRL FROM

THE--ALL THE PHOTOS AND STUFF?

>> YEAH, SHE SEEMED TO BE, YEAH.

>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE "SEEMED

TO BE?"

>> I DON'T KNOW, LIKE I ONLY SAW

HER FACE.

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE MOSTLY

CONCERNED THAT SHE COULD BE

PHYSICALLY VERY DIFFERENT THAN

YOU HOPE SHE IS.

>> I MEAN, THERE'S--THERE'S--

THERE'S SOME OTHER, YOU KNOW,

KINDA WORRIES SOMETIMES.

>> WHAT ARE THE OTHER CONCERNS?

>> WELL, SHE GOT A BOYFRIEND

RIGHT NOW.

YEAH, AND HIS NAME'S OLIN.

NOW, I DON'T REALLY KNOW MUCH

ABOUT HIM, BUT I KNOW SHE LIVES

WITH HIM.

>> IF SHE'S LIVING WITH HIM,

IT--IT COULD BE SERIOUS.

>> WELL, IT IS SERIOUS.

>> SHE TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T.

SHE'S LIVING WITH HIM BECAUSE

SHE HAS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

BUT WE--WE STILL TALK ABOUT LIKE

BEING TOGETHER AND STUFF, SO

THAT'S WHAT KINDA GIVES ME HOPE.

>> THERE'S SOMETHING INCREDIBLY

CHARMING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE

GIRL WHO YOU SORT OF HAD YOUR

FIRST CRUSH ON IS NOW THE GIRL

YOU'RE HOPING TO SPEND THE REST

OF YOUR LIFE WITH.

>> MM-HMM.

I FIGURED IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN

NOW, I DON'T--I DON'T KNOW WHEN

IT'LL HAPPEN, YOU KNOW?

>> WE CAN COME TO FLORIDA.

>> THAT'D--THAT'D BE AMA--THAT'D

BE AWESOME.

>> ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'LL SEE

YOU SOON.

>> ALL RIGHT, MAN, THANK YOU SO

MUCH.

>> ONCE HE GOES TO TEXAS, LIKE

THAT'S THE NEW CHAPTER OF HIS

LIFE.

>> SURE.

>> EITHER HE FINDS OUT THAT SHE

CARES ABOUT HIM, OR HE MOVES ON

WITH HIS LIFE.

>> YOU READY?

>> YES, LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, FLORIDA.

BREAK OUT YOUR TANK TOPS.

>> * WE WERE JUST WAITIN' *

>> I THINK THIS GOES WITH YOUR

HAIR.

THAT REALLY DOES LOOK NICE.

>> IT'S TAKING OFF!

>> STOP TOUCHING MY SEAT.

MAX.

WHEN I WAS 14, THERE WAS THIS

GIRL.

I WAS SO INTO HER.

AND SHE WAS LIKE, "I'M SORRY, I

DON'T REALLY THINK I WANNA GO

OUT WITH YOU."

AND I WAS DEVASTATED.

>> [laughs]

>> I WENT HOME SICK THAT DAY.

>> I THINK WHAT WE'RE GOING TO

FIND OUT THIS WEEK IS WHETHER IT

WILL BE A CRUSH, OR WHETHER

IT'LL TURN INTO LOVE.

>> WOW, LOOK AT HIS LICENSE

PLATE, HIS FRONT VANITY PLATE,

ITALIAN PRIDE.

CHECK THAT OUT, MAX.

>> all: HEY.

>> HOW'S IT GOIN'?

>> BUONGIORNO.

>> [speaking Italian]

>> HEY.

>> THIS IS MY CRIB.

>> COOL.

THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL DAYS,

YOU'VE BEEN TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH

MELISSA...

>> YEAH.

>> AND YOU'VE ALWAYS FELT

STRONGER ABOUT MELISSA THAN--

>> YEAH, MORE THAN ANY GIRL.

SHE WAS THE FIRST GIRL I WAS

EVER IN LOVE WITH.

SHE WAS THE FIRST GIRL I EVER

REALLY OPENED UP TO.

SHE'S THE ONLY GIRL THAT REALLY

KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT ME.

I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

>> YOU GUYS VIDEO-CHATTED A

COUPLE TIMES.

>> MM-HMM.

>> IT HAS ME VERY CURIOUS.

>> MY SISTER WAS HOME, AND SHE

HAD HER LAPTOP, AND WE WERE

LIKE, "YOU KNOW, LET'S JUST TRY

IT."

SO WE DID TWICE.

>> WHY DIDN'T YOU KEEP

VIDEO-CHATTING WITH HER?

>> I DIDN'T HAVE MY OWN

COMPUTER.

I DIDN'T HAVE A PHONE THAT DID

THAT.

I'M NOT REAL BIG INTO

TECHNOLOGY, SO, YOU KNOW,

DISTANCE THING'S ALWAYS BEEN A

BIG PROBLEM.

>> TELL ME LIKE A STORY THAT

SORT OF HELPED YOU GET SO CLOSE

TO HER.

>> IN--IN 2006, MY--MY GRANDPA

PASSED.

HE WAS LIKE ONE OF MY REAL

CLOSEST FRIENDS.

LIKE PART OF ME DIED WITH HIM,

YOU KNOW?

FOR A WHILE, I STOPPED TALKING

TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.

LIKE I CUT OUT CONTACT WITH

EVERYBODY COMPLETELY.

SHE WAS THE FIRST PERSON I

STARTED TALKING TO AGAIN.

IT WAS LIKE JUST ALL A BIG

HEALING PROCESS.

AND EVERY TIME I NEEDED SOMEONE

TO TALK TO OR SOMETHING, SHE WAS

ALWAYS THERE FOR ME.

>> HOW LONG AGO DID SHE MOVE IN

AND MEET THIS OTHER GUY?

>> SHE'S BEEN LIVING WITH HIM

FOR LESS THAN A YEAR.

I DON'T LIKE THE GUY.

I DON'T KNOW HIM, BUT I'M PRETTY

POSITIVE SHE'D PICK ME OVER HIM.

>> HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THAT

A LOT OF WHAT SHE'S BEEN TELLING

YOU COULD BE A LIE?

>> I CONSIDERED IT, YEAH.

>> HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THAT

WAS THE CASE?

>> SIX YEARS, IF SHE'S BEEN

LYING TO ME FOR THAT LONG ABOUT

ANYTHING, IT'S LIKE A BIG DEAL.

>> I'M DYING TO MEET THIS GIRL.

SHE'S VERY CUTE.

>> YEAH.

>> SHE'S GOT A NOSE RING.

>> YEAH.

>> THIS PICTURE, SHE SAYS "I

LOVE CALE," AND SOMEONE NAMED

CALE POSTED IT.

ALL OF THIS IS ACTUALLY PRETTY

SOLID PROOF THAT THERE IS A REAL

GIRL NAMED MELISSA, THAT HAS

REAL FRIENDS, THAT ARE POSTING

PICTURES OF HER, THAT SHE'S

INTERACTING WITH.

>> RIGHT.

>> SHE'S LISTED AS "IN A

RELATIONSHIP WITH OLIN."

>> HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THIS GUY'S

PAGE?

>> NAH, I DON'T WANNA KNOW.

>> WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD KNOW.

>> YEAH, LET'S GO.

>> WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU

SPOKE TO HER?

>> LIKE LAST WEEK.

I'VE BEEN TEXTING HER THOUGH.

WHAT, DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL

HER?

>> SURE.

[dial tone rings]

>> HEY, WHAT'S UP?

YEAH, IT'S PRETTY HOT HERE TOO.

>> [chuckles]

>> [laughs]

IS OLIN HOME?

>> [chuckles]

>> ARE YOU GONNA BE ABLE TO TALK

LATER TONIGHT?

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU A

CALL A LITTLE BIT LATER TONIGHT.

LOVE YOU.

>> THIS IS THE GUY THAT

YOU'RE...

>> COMPETING WITH.

>> YEAH, THAT THE LOVE OF YOUR

LIFE IS CURRENTLY LIVING WITH.

>> MM-HMM.

>> SO WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH ALL

THIS, AND WE'RE GONNA REACH OUT

TO SOME OF HER FRIENDS.

LOOK, I'D LIKE THIS TO WORK OUT.

SHE--YOU GUYS SEEM LEGIT.

>> WE JUST WANNA GIVE YOU THE

INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED TO

MAKE A DECISION.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

>> ALL RIGHT, MAN.

>> TAKE IT EASY.

>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WE FIND.

I'D LIKE TO REALLY SEE THIS WORK

OUT.

I FEEL LIKE NICK CONTACTED US

NOT TO ACTUALLY FIND OUT IF

SHE'S EXACTLY WHO SHE IS, BUT

RATHER TO FIND OUT IF SHE IS

SERIOUS ABOUT HIM.

>> HE NEEDS IT TO HAPPEN NOW,

AND HE NEEDS TO KNOW SO THAT HE

CAN PLAN THE REST OF HIS LIFE,

WITH OR WITHOUT HER.

>> ALL RIGHT.

OOH.

QUICK RECAP.

WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?

>> NICHOLAS AND--

>> both: MELISSA.

>> GO.

>> MET WHEN THEY WERE 12.

SHE LIVES IN IOWA.

HE LIVES HERE IN FLORIDA.

FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS NOW,

SHE'S BEEN LIVING WITH THIS GU--

>> ANOTHER GUY.

>> RIGHT, SO THERE'S A LOT OF

QUESTION MARKS.

>> WHAT DO WE HAVE TO PROVE?

>> WELL, WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS

TALK TO ONE OF HER FRIENDS, WHO

CAN TELL US FOR SURE, "LIKE

YEAH, SHE'S GOT A BOYFRIEND,"

OR, "SHE DOESN'T."

>> HOLD ON.

THAT'S HER WITH EMILY.

SHE SAYS IN THAT PICTURE, "OH,

EMILY, I LOVE YOU."

>> ALL RIGHT, SO SHE'S CLEARLY

FRIENDS WITH EMILY."

>> WELL, WHY DON'T WE REACH OUT

TO EMILY ON FACEBOOK AND SEE

WHAT SHE SAYS?

>> "HEY EMILY, I'M NOT SURE IF

YOU'VE HEARD OF OR SEEN THE TV

SHOW CATFISH, BUT I AM THE

HOST/PRODUCER OF IT AND COULD

USE YOUR HELP."

SO THAT'S GOOD.

>> KEEP ON GOING DOWN HER

FACEBOOK WALL.

WAIT, WAIT, GO BACK.

THAT'S--THAT'S CALE.

OH, IT SAID ON THE HAND,

"I LOVE CALE."

>> ANOTHER CUTE SELFIE OF HER

AND CALE.

>> ISN'T IT WEIRD THAT WE'VE NOW

GONE THROUGH ALL OF THESE

PICTURES OF MELISSA, AND NOT ONE

OF THEM HAS A PICTURE OF HER AND

OLIN?

>> YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT'S WEIRD.

>> NOT ONE PICTURE OF THE GUY

SHE'S LIVED WITH FOR THE LAST--

>> both: SEVEN MONTHS.

>> WAIT, WHY DON'T WE GO TO

CALE'S FACEBOOK PAGE?

WHOA.

>> IT'S NOT A PARTICULARLY

ROMANTIC-LOOKING KISS.

IT'S GOOFY, AND THEY'RE SMILING.

BUT LIKE THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE

AND MORE POINTING TOWARDS THE

POSSIBILITY THAT HER FRIEND IS

ACTUALLY HER GIRLFRIEND.

>> YES.

>> MAYBE MELISSA DOESN'T HAVE

THE HEART TO TELL NICK THAT

SHE'S DATING A GIRL.

>> WHAT'S THIS PICTURE?

SHE LOOKS A LITTLE BIGGER IN

THAT PICTURE.

>> BAM.

>> OH.

>> OH.

WHAT IS THIS?

>> THAT'S A PICTURE OF MELISSA.

>> FROM LAST WEEK.

AND SHE'S MUCH HEAVIER THAN

SHE'S BEEN IN ALL THE OTHER

PHOTOS WE'VE SEEN OF HER THAT

ARE ON HER FACEBOOK PAGE.

BUT IT'S DEFINITELY THE SAME

GIRL.

>> IT'S DEFINITELY THE SAME GI--

>> WHICH IS GOOD.

THIS IS FROM LIKE THE SAME DAY.

LOOK, HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

THAT'S THE FIRST TIME WE'VE SEEN

HER ENTIRE BODY.

SHE'S CERTAINLY MADE A POINT OF

HIDING PHOTOS FROM NICK.

[cell phone rings]

GETTING A PHONE CALL.

>> IT'S FROM DAVENPORT, IOWA.

>> HELLO?

HI, WHO'S THIS?

HEY, EMILY, HOW--HOW YOU DOIN'?

WE WERE JUST CURIOUS IF YOU

COULD TELL US ABOUT YOUR FRIEND

MELISSA.

SO WHO IS SHE LIVING WITH IN

DES MOINES?

HAVE YOU HEARD HER SAY THAT

SHE'S CRAZY ABOUT HIM AND THAT

SHE REALLY LOVES HIM?

DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE

POSSIBLE THAT THEY'RE JUST

ROOMMATES, AND SHE'S NOT

ACTUALLY DATING A GUY NAMED

OLIN?

OKAY.

HAS SHE EVER TOLD YOU ABOUT HER

FRIEND NICK?

>> UH...

>> YES.

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

>> SHE LIKED HIM, AND SHE WAS IN

LOVE WITH HIM?

>> OKAY, WELL, COOL.

THANK YOU.

>> BYE, EMILY.

>> BYE.

>> WE KNOW A FEW THINGS.

THE PICTURES THAT NICK HAS BEEN

SEEING OF MELISSA...

>> CONVENIENTLY.

>> DO NOT REPRESENT WHAT SHE

CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE.

>> IT'S POSSIBLE MELISSA'S IN A

SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH OLIN.

IT'S POSSIBLE THAT SHE'S NOT IN

A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM AT ALL.

SHE COULD BE IN A RELATIONSHIP

WITH A GIRL.

WE REALLY DON'T KNOW EXACTLY

WHAT'S UP WITH MELISSA.

>> RIGHT.

>> SO THE JURY'S STILL OUT ON

WHETHER OR NOT SHE'S SERIOUS

ABOUT BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP

WITH NICK.

>> WELL, I THINK UNLIKE MANY

SITUATIONS WE'VE BEEN IN, THESE

TWO PEOPLE REALLY DO KNOW EACH

OTHER, RIGHT?

AND FOR ALL OF THE YEARS IN

WHICH NICK'S BEEN A-A YOUNG MAN,

HE'S HAD THIS GIRL IN HIS LIFE.

HE DOESN'T KNOW LIFE WITHOUT

MELISSA, AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO.

>> SO LET'S DO THIS.

>> ALL RIGHT, SO YESTERDAY, WE

FOUND A LOT OF INTERESTING

INFORMATION ABOUT MELISSA.

>> YOU SEEM KINDA NERVOUS.

>> OH, YEAH, I JUST--I'M JUST

ANXIOUS, YOU KNOW?

I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS

KNOW, SO...

>> THE FIRST THING THAT WE DID

WAS WE WENT TO MELISSA'S

FACEBOOK PAGE.

AND ONE PERSON THAT SHE'S

OBVIOUSLY CLOSE WITH IS THIS

GIRL EMILY.

WE WANTED TO TALK TO HER.

EMILY CALLED ME.

>> WHAT'D SHE SAY?

>> EMILY WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM FOR

US THAT MELISSA LOVES YOU.

>> THAT'S A BIG RELIEF, THOUGH.

>> WELL, SHE LOVED YOU ACCORDING

TO EMILY.

SHE SAYS THAT THEY HAVEN'T

SPOKEN RECENTLY ABOUT--ABOUT

MELISSA'S FEELINGS TOWARDS YOU

BECAUSE MELISSA'S BEEN IN THIS

RELATIONSHIP WITH OLIN.

>> RIGHT, RIGHT.

>> AND AS FAR SHE KNOWS, MELISSA

LOVES OLIN.

>> WHAT?

MELISSA TOLD HER THAT SHE LOVED

HIM?

>> both: RIGHT.

>> SHE TELLS ME ALL THE TIME HOW

MUCH OF AN ASS HE IS.

[dramatic orchestration]

**

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO

THINK RIGHT NOW.

>> WELL, THERE'S ACTUALLY ONE

MORE POSSIBILITY.

>> WE WENT BACK TO MELISSA'S

PAGE AND A PICTURE OF HER ON HER

HAND THAT SAYS, "I LOVE CALE."

SO WE WENT TO CALE'S PAGE.

>> AND GOING THROUGH CALE'S

PHOTOS, IT SEEMS THAT CALE LIKES

GIRLS.

>> OH, REALLY?

>> YEAH.

>> WHAT THE HELL?

>> IT'S MELISSA AND CALE KIND OF

KISSING.

I MEAN, IT--I CAN'T REALLY TELL.

>> YEAH, BUT I DON'T--I DON'T--

I DON'T--I DON'T REALLY WANNA

LOOK AT IT ANYMORE.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> I-I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK

WITH THE OLIN, AND WITH THE

CALE.

>> I WOULD IMAGINE IT'S A--IT

WOULD BE A BIG SHOCK IF SHE WAS

BISEXUAL.

>> MM-HMM, YEAH, VERY BIG SHOCK.

>> SO THEN, KIND OF THE--THE

LOGICAL THING TO DO WAS TO GO

THROUGH CALE'S PHOTOS.

>> AND ONE THING THAT CAUGHT OUR

EYE IS THIS PICTURE.

>> WOW.

>> THIS IS THE FIRST PICTURE

YOU'VE EVER SEEN OF HER WHOLE

BODY.

>> SHE LOOKS A LOT DIFFERENT

THAN I EXPECTED.

>> HOW SO?

>> WELL, SHE--SHE'S BIGGER.

>> SO--SO YOU WERE UNDER THE

IMPRESSION THAT...

>> YEAH, I-I WAS UNDER THE

IMPRESSION SHE WASN'T LIKE

SWIMSUIT-MODEL SKINNY, BUT

SHE WASN'T LIKE BIG.

SHE'S BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT SHE

WAS.

I MEAN, I DON'T WANNA BE AN

ASS[bleep].

[groans]

GOD.

I MEAN--

[sniffles]

[clears throat]

I MEAN, I HAVE A BUNCH OF THINGS

RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD RIGHT

NOW, BUT...

>> WHY DON'T WE TAKE TWO

SECONDS, RELAX, MAYBE GET A

LITTLE BREATHER, COME BACK?

>> ALL RIGHT.

[clears throat]

OKAY.

THE CALE THING, I DON'T KNOW

WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

AND THIS OLIN GUY, YOU KNOW, I

WANNA GET THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT.

OH, THERE'S SO MUCH RUNNING

THROUGH MY HEAD, I CAN'T EVEN--

I CAN'T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT.

LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING TO ME,

BUT LOOKS DO MATTER.

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF--IF I

COULD, YOU KNOW--I DON'T KNOW IF

I COULD GET OVER THAT.

I MEAN, THOUGH, WHAT WOULD YOU

DO IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS?

>> SOMETIMES, A SPIRITUAL

CONNECTION MAKES SOMEONE THAT

MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE.

>> * EVERY BAD LOVE I LOVE

* EVERY BAD LOVE I HEART

* EVERY BAD LOVE I KNEW IT

* RIGHT FROM THE START

>> YOU JUST DON'T KNOW UNTIL

YOU'RE IN FRONT OF HER.

>> I WANNA GET TO KNOW HER

FACE-TO-FACE 'CAUSE I'VE LOVED

HER FOR SIX YEARS, AND SHE'S

LOVED ME FOR SIX YEARS.

>> * A CURIOUS MIND

* A SYNTHETIC LOVE

* WE'LL MAKE IT OURSELVES *

* IT MIGHT BE ENOUGH

>> ALL RIGHT.

I NEED TO SOUND THIS OUT A

LITTLE 'CAUSE THIS IS AN UNUSUAL

PHONE CALL.

WE'VE GOT TWO PEOPLE WHO HAVE

SAID THEY'RE IN LOVE WITH EACH

OTHER FOR SIX YEARS.

I'M MORE INTERESTED IN JUST SORT

OF KNOWING LIKE IF THIS IS WHAT

SHE WANTS.

DOES SHE SERIOUSLY HAVE FEELINGS

FOR NICK?

>> OR MAYBE SHE'S NOT ATTRACTED

TO GUYS.

>> WE MIGHT JUST OPEN THE

FLOODGATES FOR HER TO START

GIVING HER SIDE OF THE STORY,

WHICH COULD BE VERY DIFFERENT.

>> AND WE COULD BE SURPRISED.

>> ALL RIGHT, MAX.

[dial tone rings]

HI, IS THIS MELISSA?

THIS IS NEV AND--

>> MAX.

>> FROM THE SHOW CATFISH.

AND WE ARE IN FLORIDA WITH YOUR

FRIEND NICK.

SO I'M REALLY JUST SO CURIOUS

TO KIND OF GET YOUR SIDE OF THE

STORY.

[somber acoustic guitar]

*

WHAT'S YOUR SORT OF CURRENT

SITUATION?

OKAY, SO YOU'RE--YOU'RE NOT

DATING HIM ANYMORE.

ARE YOU GUYS STILL SLEEPING WITH

EACH OTHER?

SO IT'S SORT OF LIKE AN OPEN

RELATIONSHIP.

>> WHERE DOES NICK KINDA RATE

IN RELATION TO THIS GUY, I

GUESS, AND IN--IN YOUR HEART?

SO IF YOU COULD BE DATING NICK,

WOULD YOU?

AND HAS THAT KIND OF ALWAYS BEEN

THE CASE?

ONE THING THAT HE MENTIONED WAS

THAT HE WAS VERY AWARE OF THE

FACT THAT HE'S NEVER REALLY SEEN

A PICTURE OF YOU HEAD-TO-TOE,

AND IT DIDN'T TAKE VERY LONG TO

FIND SOME PHOTOS OF YOU ON A

FRIEND'S FACEBOOK PAGE, WHERE WE

COULD SEE YOUR WHOLE BODY.

AND WE SHOWED THOSE TO NICK.

HE WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED, BUT

IT DIDN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT

HE REALLY WANTS TO MEET YOU.

>> [sighs]

[cries]

>> I THINK THIS COULD BE AN

AMAZING EXPERIENCE.

NEXT STEPS ARE GONNA BE FIGURING

OUT HOW TO GET ALL OF US UP TO

DES MOINES.

YEAH, I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING

YOU.

ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU, MELISSA.

>> SEE YOU.

>> BYE.

>> both: HEY.

>> BUONGIORNO.

>> THIS IS MY DAD.

>> HEY, DAD.

>> DAD, THIS IS NEV, THIS IS

MAX, AND THIS IS THE CREW.

>> NEV, OKAY, NEV.

>> HEY, DAD.

>> HI, MAX, HOW ARE YOU?

>> NICE TO MEET YOU.

>> SO WE CALLED MELISSA.

WE WERE OBVIOUSLY CURIOUS TO

FIND OUT IF THE BIGGER DETAILS

OF HER LIFE THAT SHE'D RELAYED

TO NICK WERE TRUE.

>> SHE SAID THAT SHE LOVED YOU A

LOT.

>> BUT THAT LED US TO OBVIOUSLY

ASK HER ABOUT HER RELATIONSHIP,

WHICH SHE'S TOLD YOU SHE'S IN.

AND--AND WE'VE HEARD THAT SHE'S

IN.

>> BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT.

>> AND SHE DIDN'T GET INTO IT

VERY MUCH, BUT SHE--

>> SHE EVEN REFERRED TO HIM WHEN

SHE FIRST MENTIONED HIM AS HER

BOYFRIEND/ROOMMATE.

>> BUT IT'S COMPLICATED.

>> MM-HMM.

>> SHE'S HAD A TUMULTUOUS

CHILDHOOD, AND THROUGHOUT ALL

THAT, NICK'S BEEN THERE.

HE'S SORT OF HEARD ALL THE

STORIES.

HE'S HELPED HER OUT AND

SUPPORTED HER THROUGH HER UPS

AND DOWNS, AS SHE HAS WITH HIM

AND THE SORT OF THINGS HE'S

STRUGGLED WITH.

>> LIKE WHEN MY GRANDPA DIED.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> AMAZINGLY VIA EVERYTHING

THAT'S GONE ON IN THEIR LIVES

THE LAST SIX YEARS, THEY'VE

MANAGED TO STAY IN TOUCH.

>> YES, I MEAN, THAT'S--YEAH.

>> AND THAT'S NOT EASY.

>> IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY, YOU--

YOU--YOU WORK TOWARDS IT.

>> WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE

GOING TO DES MOINES, AND WE'RE

MORE THAN LIKELY LEAVING

TOMORROW.

>> TO--TOMORROW?

>> TOMORROW, YEAH.

>> I GUESS I'M LEAVING TOMORROW.

[laughs]

>> JUST BE A GOOD PERSON ABOUT

IT, THAT'S ALL.

I MEAN, HE KNOWS THAT I LOVE

HIM.

I'M VERY PROUD OF MY SON.

[laughter]

>> ARE YOU READY FOR LOVE?

>> EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A

REASON, SO I'M JUST GONNA GO

WITH THE FLOW.

AND WHATEVER HAPPENS HAPPENS.

>> * WHAT YOU WANT

* AND WHAT YOU DO TO ME

>> HAIRCUT TIME.

>> WE'RE GONNA GO GET MY

EYEBROWS TRIMMED.

>> [laughs]

>> * ENTERTAINMENT

* SHOW THEM WHAT YOU DO

>> NOW MELISSA REALLY WON'T BE

ABLE TO RESIST.

>> * WHEN EVERYONE HERE

* KNOWS BETTER

>> IT'S NERVE-RACKING, BUT I'M

READY.

[knocks at door]

[door opens]

>> GOOD MORNIN'.

>> ALL RIGHT, HOW DO YOU FEEL?

>> NERVOUS.

>> NERVOUS.

>> YEAH.

>> I'M SURE SHE'S JUST AS

NERVOUS AND SCARED TO MEET YOU.

>> YEAH.

>> I'M GONNA CALL HER, FIND OUT

WHERE SHE IS, AND THEN WE'RE

GONNA HEAD OVER THERE.

>> OKAY.

[dial tone rings]

>> ALL RIGHT.

MELISSA.

HEY, IT'S NEV, MAX, AND NICK.

WE'RE PRETTY MUCH READY TO COME

MEET YOU.

>> UM, WELL...

>> OKAY.

THAT'S FINE.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TEXT ME THE

ADDRESS, AND WE'LL HEAD OVER

THERE?

>> [sighs]

JUST, LIKE, MY HEART'S RACING

LIKE I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A HEART

ATTACK.

>> IT'S GONNA BE THAT ONE.

>> THIS ONE?

[sighs]

>> ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.

IF YOU'RE READY, LET'S DO IT.

>> YEAH, LET'S DO IT.

IF I'M QUIET, IT'S 'CAUSE I'M

PRAYIN'.

I-I REALLY AM IN THAT PLACE.

>> OKAY.

>> SAY A LITTLE QUICK THING.

[tense music]

**

[doorbell rings]

>> [sighs]

OH, [bleep].

>> HOW ARE YOU?

>> I'M GOOD.

>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> YOU TOO.

>> NEV.

>> MELISSA.

>> IT'S A PLEASURE.

>> OH, MY GOD.

>> WELL, I WANNA INTRODUCE YOU

TO NICK.

>> HOW ARE YOU?

>> I'M GOOD.

>> * I WANNA LOVE YOU

* I WANNA PASS IT ON

>> [laughs]

>> *I WANNA GIVE AND GIVE *

* TILL IT'S ALL GONE *

* I WANNA LOVE YOU

* WHILE WE HAVE THE TIME

* 'CAUSE THAT'S ALL WE GOT *

* TO LEAVE BEHIND

>> [chuckles]

[sniffles]

>> [sniffles]

ALL RIGHT.

>> [laughs]

LIKE, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO SAY

RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

>> YEAH, I'M THE SAME WAY.

KINDA SPEECHLESS.

>> WELL, WHILE WE'RE STILL KIND

OF IN THE AWKWARD PHASE, WE MAY

AS WELL GET THE AWKWARD

QUESTIONS OUT OF THE WAY.

>> YEAH.

>> AND EVEN THOUGH HE HAS SEEN

PICTURES ON YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE,

I DON'T THINK NICK HAS EVER BEEN

QUITE SURE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.

>> MM-HMM.

>> THEY WERE ALL FRAMED IN A

CERTAIN WAY.

>> IT'S BEST WITH LIKE NATURAL

LIGHTING, SO I USUALLY GO

OUTSIDE, OPEN A WINDOW.

>> WHAT WERE YOU AFRAID OF?

>> UM, THE NORMAL STUFF, I

GUESS, REJECTION.

>> WE SAW THAT YOU ARE VERY GOOD

FRIENDS WITH THIS GIRL CALE, WHO

SEEMS TO BE A LESBIAN.

NICK HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF

CALE BEFORE.

WE EVEN SAW A PICTURE OF YOU AND

CALE KISSING.

>> I KNEW THAT WOULD GET BROUGHT

UP, BUT IT WASN'T A REAL KISS.

IT WAS A STAGE KISS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

>> NO.

>> YOU KNOW, THE THUMBS THING.

IF YOU LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH, YOU'LL

BE ABLE TO TELL BECAUSE OUR

NOSES ARE OFF, AND MY LIPS ARE

LIKE ON HER NOSE.

IT WASN'T REAL.

I PROMISE YOU THAT.

>> SO YOU'RE STRAIGHT.

>> YES, I AM, COMPLETELY

STRAIGHT.

[chuckles]

>> OKAY.

THE OTHER BIG PART OF THIS STORY

IN REGARDS TO NICK IS OLIN.

>> I MOVED IN WITH HIM IN

FEBRUARY, AND HE BROKE UP WITH

ME TWO WEEKS AFTER I MOVED IN.

BUT WE STILL ACT LIKE A COUPLE.

HE GETS REALLY JEALOUS ALL THE

TIME.

LIKE HE'S JEALOUS OF NICK.

BUT HE TALKS TO OTHER GIRLS.

I OBVIOUSLY TALK TO NICK.

[laughs]

>> DOES HE HEAR YOU TELL NICK

YOU LOVE HIM?

>> MM-MM, 'CAUSE I KNOW HE'D

FREAK OUT.

>> WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS

TOWARDS HIM?

>> TOWARDS OLIN?

>> YEAH.

>> I MEAN, I LOVE HIM BECAUSE--I

DON'T KNOW.

HE'S LIKE--HE'S KIND OF LIKE ME

IN A WAY.

LIKE I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD

CALL IT LIKE A

FRIENDS-WITH-BENEFITS TYPE OF

THING BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE

FEELINGS, BUT THEY AREN'T WHAT

THEY USED TO BE BEFORE HE BROKE

UP WITH ME, OBVIOUSLY.

>> IT WAS JUST UPSETTING THAT

LIKE I HAD TO FIND OUT OTHER

WAYS, YOU KNOW?

LIKE IT WOULD'VE MADE ME FEEL A

LOT BETTER IF--IF YOU HAD TOLD

ME.

>> DO YOU THINK THAT IN ANY WAY

YOU'VE BEEN LIKE STRINGING NICK

ALONG THESE LAST COUPLE YEARS?

>> NO, NOT AT ALL.

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.

JUST BECAUSE I HAD A BOYFRIEND,

HAVE A BOYFRIEND, WHATEVER YOU

WANNA CALL IT...

[laughs]

I STILL--I STILL CARE.

>> I MEAN, I-I FEEL THAT EVEN

THOUGH I FOUND THINGS DIFFERENT

ABOUT YOU THAT I DIDN'T KNOW

BEFORE, IT DOESN'T REALLY

MATTER, YOU KNOW?

IT'S ALL OUT NOW, YOU KNOW?

AND I MEAN, I STILL WANNA SEE

WHERE IT GOES.

>> THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME

SEEING EACH OTHER IN SIX YEARS.

WE SHOULD LIKE LET YOU GUYS HANG

OUT A LITTLE BIT WITHOUT BEING

ON TOP OF YOU.

COOL?

>> YEAH.

>> IT WAS GOOD TO MEET YOU,

MELISSA.

>> YEAH, THANK YOU.

BYE.

>> SEE YOU.

>> I STILL HAVE YOUR LETTER.

>> DO YOU? LET ME SEE IT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU STILL HAVE

THAT.

>> IT'S RIGHT THERE.

>> WOW.

OH, MY GOSH.

THAT'S CRAZY.

OH, MY GOSH.

>> YOU'RE GONNA THINK YOU'RE

RIDICULOUS.

"DEAR MELISSA, THERE HASN'T BEEN

A DAY WHERE I HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF

YOU.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT

TOOK ME TO FIND YOU.

GOD, I MISS YOU SO MUCH, BUT NOW

I FOUND YOU.

WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW MUCH

PAIN I FEEL TO KNOW YOU'RE GOING

THROUGH THIS.

LOVE, NICK-NICK."

I CONNECTED TO YOU, AND I DIDN'T

DO THAT WITH ANYBODY ELSE.

AND LIKE FORGET OLIN, AND THE

WHOLE MOVING IN WITH EACH OTHER,

AND WHATNOT.

LIKE JUST IN GENERAL, ARE THERE

STILL FEELINGS THERE?

YEAH?

>> YEAH.

DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY SORT OF

FEELINGS AT ALL?

>> YEAH.

YEAH, I DO.

I MEAN, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN

SITTIN' HERE IF I DIDN'T.

YEAH, THEY NEVER WENT AWAY.

WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO

STILL KEEP IN CONTACT WITH ME OR

TALK TO ME WHEN YOU'VE GOT OLIN

AT THE HOUSE, YOU KNOW?

>> BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT JUST

SOMEBODY THAT'S GONNA DISAPPEAR.

I-IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN JUST GET

RID OF YOU.

>> YOU KNOW, I JUST WISH THINGS

WENT DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW?

>> YEAH.

>> * SILENCE HANGS

* LIKELY SO DEFEATED

>> IT'S NOT LIKE I'D RATHER HAVE

HIM.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT IS.

>> HM.

>> * BUT DON'T GIVE UP *

* IT'S NOT ENOUGH *

* BUT I CAN

* LOVE YOU BETTER

>> 'CAUSE HONESTLY, IF IT WASN'T

FOR LIKE OLIN, I'D BE ALL FOR

IT.

BUT I'M KIND OF TORN BETWEEN THE

TWO.

[tense music]

**

>> HOW'S IT GOIN'?

>> NICKY.

>> YO.

>> SO...

>> SO WHAT...

>> WHAT DID WE MISS?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

>> YOU DON'T SEEM LIKE A MAN WHO

JUST MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE.

>> JUST THE CONVERSATION WE HAD,

IT WAS JUST KINDA LIKE A

TURNOFF.

LIKE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I

ASKED WAS, "FORGET ABOUT ALL

THE CIRCUMSTANCES, ME GOING TO

SCHOOL, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE: ME

OR OLIN?"

AND SHE COULDN'T DECIDE.

>> OH.

>> YEAH, SHE SAID SHE'S TORN

BETWEEN THE TWO.

THE CONNECTION WAS STILL THERE,

YOU KNOW?

LIKE IT WAS STILL THE GIRL THAT

I KNEW.

>> WOULD YOU WANT US TO SPEND

MORE TIME WITH HER?

>> THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING

THERE.

I STILL WANT HER TO BE IN MY

LIFE, YOU KNOW, IF NOTHING ELSE.

>> SO GET SOME REST.

>> I WILL.

>> AND WE'LL START TOMORROW

FRESH.

IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA WITHOUT

NICK AROUND TO TALK TO MELISSA.

I'D BE REALLY CURIOUS TO KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HER AND

THIS GUY OLIN.

AND MAYBE WE COULD HELP HER A

LITTLE BIT IN KIND OF BECOMING

MORE COMFORTABLE WITH HERSELF.

I THINK WE SHOULD SPEND A LITTLE

TIME SORT OF GETTING TO KNOW

MELISSA.

[dial tone rings]

MELISSA.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO ME AND MAX

COMING OVER THERE WITHOUT NICK

TO TALK, MAYBE MEET OLIN, AND

SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH YOU

GUYS?

>> OKAY, SEE YOU IN A LITTLE

BIT.

>> WOW, SO WE'RE GONNA MEET

OLIN.

>> HEY, HI.

>> [chuckles]

>> HOW ARE YOU?

>> GOOD.

>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> YOU TOO.

>> HUGS.

OLIN.

GOOD TO MEET YOU.

CAN WE--CAN WE COME IN AND HANG

OUT?

>> FEEL FREE TO SIT WHEREVER.

>> SO YOU LIVE HERE WITH YOUR

MOM?

>> YEAH, IT'S JUST ME AND HER

NOW, AND THEN MELISSA WHEN SHE

MOVED IN.

>> AND HOW DID YOU GUYS MEET?

>> I ADDED HER ON FACEBOOK.

I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH COURAGE TO

MESSAGE HER.

I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, I'LL MESSAGE

HER, SHE'S JUST NOT GONNA

REPLY."

BUT I FINALLY GOT THE COURAGE,

AND I MESSAGED HER.

AND I WAS JUST KIND OF LIKE,

"HEY, WANNA BE MY GIRLFRIEND?"

AND SHE SAID, "YEAH."

>> YOU SAID THAT YOU BROKE UP

PRETTY SOON AFTER YOU STARTED

DATING.

>> TWO WEEKS AFTER I MOVED IN.

>> I KINDA FREAKED OUT A LITTLE

BIT 'CAUSE THAT WAS THE FIRST

TIME A GIRL'S EVER ACTUALLY

LIVED WITH ME.

FOR SOME REASON, I GET SCARED OF

THE COMMITMENT ASPECT.

>> BUT HE IS REALLY INSECURE

WHEN IT COMES TO STUFF LIKE

THAT.

HE'S ALWAYS SAYING NOBODY WANTS

HIM, "I'M GONNA GO DO ALL THIS

OTHER STUFF WITH OTHER PEOPLE."

IT--IT GETS TO ME SOMETIMES

BECAUSE LIKE IF THAT WAS THE

CASE, THEN I PROBABLY WOULDN'T

BE HERE.

>> I WANNA BE WITH HER, BUT I

DON'T WANT THAT RELATIONSHIP

LABEL.

I AM TECHNICALLY SINGLE.

BUT EVEN THOUGH I'M SINGLE, I'M

STILL GONNA CHOOSE HER OVER

ANYBODY ELSE.

I'M REAL WEIRD.

>> YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT THAT

INTO IT WITH HER.

>> WELL, NO, I AM.

I'M LIVING WITH HER.

I'M HERE WITH HER EVERY DAY,

EVERY NIGHT.

>> I MEAN, WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

LIKE I CARE ABOUT OLIN BECAUSE

HE'S DONE SO MUCH FOR ME.

LIKE HE'S GAVE ME A PLACE TO

STAY.

>> SO YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE

ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO.

>> [sighs]

THIS IS JUST WHERE I'M AT AND

WHERE I NEED TO BE BECAUSE WHEN

I MOVED IN, LITERALLY, ALL I HAD

WAS TWO PAIRS OF SWEATPANTS, TWO

SHIRTS, NO MONEY, AND THAT WAS

IT.

AND I'M STILL TRYING TO GET BACK

UP ON MY FEET, GET A JOB, GET

SOME INCOME.

I MEAN, I LOVE HIM.

WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN TOGETHER.

LIKE IT'D BE WEIRD WAKING UP

AND HIM NOT BEING THERE.

I'M CONTENT WITH THE WAY IT IS

RIGHT NOW.

>> YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S ANOTHER

GUY IN MELISSA'S LIFE.

>> I'VE HEARD THAT HE WAS HER

FRIEND FOR A LONG TIME.

>> WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF

THE FACT THAT WHEN SHE'S SAYING

GOOD-BYE TO NICK, SHE SAYS "I

LOVE YOU," AND HE SAYS "I LOVE

YOU" BACK?

>> THAT'S HER THING.

>> I MEAN, IF SHE WANTED TO DATE

HIM, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT

THAT?

>> SHE WANTS TO GO SOMEWHERE

ELSE, BE HAPPY WITH SOMEONE

ELSE, FINE.

SHE CAN.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M NOT

THINKING ABOUT WHAT WILL MAKE ME

HAPPY.

I WANNA BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE

BOTH OF US.

I'M LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK

DELIVERIN' PIZZAS, AND IT'S

HARD.

AND WITH HER BY MY SIDE, IT'S

THAT MUCH EASIER BECAUSE SHE'S

THERE WITH ME.

SHE MAY NOT FEEL LIKE SHE'S THE

PRETTIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD, BUT

SHE'S--SHE'S JUST BEAUTIFUL.

I LOVE HER, AND I WOULDN'T WANNA

BE WITH ANYBODY ELSE.

>> YOU HAVE A MORE HONEST

RELATIONSHIP THAN I THINK MOST

PEOPLE DO.

>> IT'S DEFINITELY REFRESHING.

WHEN HE LOOKS AT YOU, HE REALLY

LOOKS AT YOU...

>> [laughs]

>> VERY LOVINGLY.

>> DO YOU WANNA GO AND TALK TO

NICK ONE MORE TIME BEFORE HE

LEAVES?

>> YEAH, I DO.

>> IS THAT COOL?

>> YEAH.

SHE CAN GO SPEND TIME WITH

WHOEVER.

>> ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

LET'S GO HANG OUT FOR A LITTLE

BIT.

>> LATER.

>> YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD DAY.

>> ARE YOU NERVOUS NOW TO SEE

HIM?

>> YEAH.

IT COULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE,

BUT LIKE I DON'T FEEL LIKE

LEAVING OLIN RIGHT NOW.

>> THERE'S A LOT TO TALK ABOUT

WITH NICK.

>> AND NOW, MORE

CATFISH: THE TV SHOW.

STICK AROUND.

THERE HE IS.

>> HELLO.

>> TAKE A LITTLE TIME.

I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT THE

AFTERNOON.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

HANG OUT.

>> SOUNDS GOOD.

>> OKAY.

>> [sighs]

ALL RIGHT, SO DO YOU JUST WANNA

SIT DOWN?

>> YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY GONE A WAY

DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN I HAVE.

>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

LIKE I DROPPED OUT OF HIGH

SCHOOL.

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR MY

EDUCATION.

I DIDN'T GET MY GED AND STUFF.

>> MM-HMM.

>> AND YOU'RE GOING TO COLLEGE,

AND I'M--I'M NOT.

SO LIKE YOU'RE GOING AND MAKING

YOUR LIFE BETTER, AND I'M DOING

NOTHING.

>> THEN GO GET YOUR GED.

WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A LONG

TIME, AND YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO

ME.

YOU'RE IN A PLACE RIGHT NOW

WHERE YOU'RE NOT REALLY READY TO

MOVE ON YET.

>> JUST BECAUSE I HAVE OLIN IN

THE PICTURE DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T

WANT YOU IN MY PICTURE.

>> YOU GOTTA DO WHAT MAKES YOU

HAPPY.

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU IN MY

LIFE.

I'D RATHER HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE

AS LIKE--EVEN JUST LIKE A BEST

FRIEND THAN NOT HAVE YOU AT ALL.

MAYBE THAT'S JUST WHERE IT

SHOULD BE RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW?

DON'T YOU AGREE?

ARE YOU GONNA MISS ME?

>> WELL, YEAH.

I MISSED YOU LAST NIGHT.

>> [laughs]

YEAH, I MISSED YOU TOO.

>> * OH, IT'S NOT ABOUT ME *

* IT'S NOT ABOUT *

* THE OPEN DOOR

* IT'S NOT ABOUT ME *

>> WAIT TILL YOU'RE OUT OF

SCHOOL...

>> YEAH.

>> AND SEE WHERE I'M AT.

>> AND THEN UNTIL THEN, WE CAN

STILL KEEP IN CONTACT ALL THE

TIME.

I STILL WANNA KEEP IN TOUCH WITH

YOU, YOU KNOW?

>> YEAH.

>> * IF I THOUGHT

* THAT YOU ARE LEAVIN' *

>> OKAY.

HOW WAS THAT?

>> IT STINKS SAYING GOOD-BYE,

BUT WHO KNOWS?

MAYBE IT'S NOT OVER YET.

TIME WILL ONLY TELL.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL SEE YOU.

>> OKAY.

>> [chuckles]

IT WAS GOOD SEEING YOU.

>> YEAH, YOU TOO.

[laughs]

>> IT'S THE END OF THE FIRST

CHAPTER AND THE BEGINNING OF

THE NEXT ONE.

>> * ONE, TWO, THREE

* FOR YOU

[computer beeps]

>> HELLO.

>> HEY, NICK.

>> HEY.

>> HEY.

WHAT'S UP, BIG BOY?

>> NICK, ARE YOU AT HOME?

>> NO, I'M IN MY NEW APARTMENT.

>> WOW.

>> ME AND MELISSA STILL TALK ALL

THE TIME, SO--

>> REALLY?

>> YEAH, WE STILL LIKE--LIKE

SNAPCHAT, OR TEXT, AND STUFF.

>> IS IT ROMANTIC, OR IS IT JUST

KIND OF PLATONIC AT THIS POINT?

>> WE'RE JUST FRIENDS RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE LIKE BEST OF

FRIENDS.

>> HOW ARE THE GIRLS AT MECHANIC

SCHOOL?

>> THERE'S--THERE'S NO GIRLS,

MAN, NONE.

>> OH, MY GOD.

>> HEY, MELISSA, HOW ARE YOU?

>> I HAD AN INTERVIEW YESTERDAY,

SO I'M HOPING THAT'S GONNA PAN

OUT GOOD.

>> HAVE YOU TALKED TO NICK?

>> WE DO TALK MORE THAN WE DID

BEFORE.

THAT'S A PLUS.

[laughs]

>> ARE YOU HAPPY YOU KINDA CAME

ON THE SHOW AND--AND DID THIS?

>> YEAH, I DON'T LIKE TRY TO

HIDE ANYTHING ANYMORE REALLY.

LIKE WITH THE PICTURES AND STUFF

LIKE THAT, I DON'T DO THAT.

>> ARE YOU HAPPY THE WAY--WHERE

YOU ARE?

ARE YOU GONNA STAY WITH OLIN,

YOU THINK?

>> AS I GET OLDER AND STUFF, IT

PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE THE BEST

PLACE TO STAY.

BUT FOR NOW, YEAH.

>> AND DO YOU FEEL BETTER KIND

OF HAVING MET NICK?

>> YEAH, EVER SINCE THE SHOW,

IT'S KINDA HAVE BEEN A LOT

BETTER.

WE'RE ACTUALLY LIKE CLOSER.

>> GOOD TALKING TO YOU.

>> WE'LL TALK TO YOU SOON.

>> OKAY.

>> all: BYE.

>> SO TELL US ABOUT KRISTEN.

>> SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, SHE'S OPEN.

SHE'S PERFECT.

[laughs]

>> WAIT A SECOND.

>> WAIT. OH, MY GOD.

>> THIS WOMAN'S MARRIED.

>> [bleep].

>> WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, AND WHY

HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS TO ME?

I'M JUST SCARED TO GET OUT OF

THIS CAR RIGHT NOW.

I'M AFRAID THAT I DON'T KNOW

NOTHIN'.
