Catfish: The TV Show (2012–…): Season 7, Episode 17 - Derek & Annabelle - full transcript
A mystery email leads Nev and Laura to help Derek track down his online love Annabelle. After digging, they uncover a sexy Snapchat scandal, betrayal, and a conclusion that hits closer to home than Derek could have ever dreamed.
- I have hope that this
is gonna turn out good.
I'm a big believer, everything
happens for a reason.
- Zero chance that he's
talking to that girl.
- You guys, like,
look at my hands.
Like, you guys are
so calm right now.
- What's this car?
- Looks like they
are coming over here.
- This has to be
a joke right now.
What the [bleep]?
[dramatic musical sting]
- Is that focused on me?
- Mm-hmm.
- All right, everybody.
Welcome back to "Catfish."
This week I'm joined
by the lovely--
- It's not rolling.
- It's not rolling?
- No.
I was like, "Why--What
are you doing?"
- I thought you started it.
- I stopped it 'cause I knew
you were doing something else.
- This week I'm joined
by the lovely Laura.
- Okay.
- Who is going to be
my co-host camera woman.
- [laughs]
I'm here.
- And she's gonna help me this
week with whatever mystery
needs to be solved.
Let's see what we got here.
We got an email from
the casting department,
which is a little unusual.
- "Hey guys, we forwarded
you an email
"from an anonymous source.
"This isn't the way things
normally come to us,
but it seems like
an interesting case."
An anonymous person wrote in.
- Anonymous whistle blower.
- Here's the email.
"Dear Nev."
- And Laura.
- And Laura.
"I can't tell you who I am, but
I'm gonna ask for your help.
"I'm stuck between a rock
and a hard place.
And the only way out was
to send you this email."
- Okay.
- Okay.
- "I'm writing to tell you
about this guy I know
"named Derek.
Derek was born and raised
in the Vancouver, Washington
area and is nice
to pretty much everyone."
- ♪ Never, never, never
- "That's usually something
I like about him.
But right now it's a problem."
- ♪ Never, never,
never loved me ♪
- "Derek recently got out
of a long-term,
serious relationship."
- ♪ That you never,
never, never ♪
- "He's pretty torn
up about it.
"Five months ago his
friends took him out
to cheer him up."
"That night he ended up
chatting with a girl
"named Annabelle on Snapchat.
He went from heartbroken
to head over heels
in a matter of days
and hasn't looked back since."
- ♪ The way I talk
- I like that a lot.
Heartbroken to head over heels.
- That is good.
- "Derek won't stop
talking about this girl.
"But she's refusing
to meet him
even though she lives nearby."
- ♪ And my heart wins
over my mind ♪
- "He says they've got
a strong connection,
"but I think he's ignoring
a lot of issues because
his heart is broken
and she's hot."
- ♪ Never, never,
never loved me ♪
- "If you guys don't help him,
I think he's gonna fall
"in love with Annabelle
and waste months or years
"of his time building
a relationship with someone
"who I think
doesn't even exist.
"Derek has no idea
I'm doing this,
"but if you can
please hit him up,
"I think he will
listen to you.
Here's his number."
- ♪ Never, never,
never loved me ♪
- This is crazy.
So what are we supposed to do?
Call him and say,
"We got your number
from an anonymous friend?"
- We can say someone wrote in--
I mean, he doesn't
have to know.
Maybe it's the person--
Maybe it's Annabelle.
Someone wrote in saying they'd
like to meet you in real life.
Just like to help
facilitate that.
- This is gonna be awkward.
[phone trilling]
- Hello?
- Yeah, hi, is this Derek?
- It is.
- Hey, Derek.
Uh, this is Nev from "Catfish."
- I know--
- Okay.
- All right, well, cool.
- No worries.
- Well, I'm here with my wife
Laura who's actually, uh,
co-hosting this
episode with me.
- Hi, Derek.
- Can you FaceTime?
- Uh, yeah,
I can show you my face.
- All right.
[phone trilling]
Hello
- Hi.
- Oh, my God.
What's up, you guys?
- What's up, man?
- I'm Skyping with
Nev right now.
I don't know how the hell.
- [laughs]
- You know?
- What's your tat say?
- Family.
- Oh, nice.
- Nice.
- Well, I'm a big family guy.
She's 86.
- Family is important.
We agree.
- Yeah.
- So, someone at the show
got an email
from an anonymous person.
- You don't know who it is?
both: No.
- Who wrote in and said,
"Hey, I know Derek
"and I know he's been talking
to this girl Annabelle,
and I'm worried that maybe
she's not who she says she is."
- Okay.
- I--so, I guess we just wanna
know a little more information
about you and Annabelle
and your relationship.
- Okay, I guess, uh,
it all started when, uh--
I was in this
three-year relationship.
And we broke up about
five months ago.
Then one of my good buddies,
we went out
and got some drinks.
And the last thing I remember
of that night...
I don't really remember it.
To be honest, I was two
[bleep] to the wind.
You know,
I just got broken up.
I was trying to go
have some fun.
I woke up and I
deleted everything,
'cause I don't Snap.
But then about two
weeks after that,
I get this message from
Annabelle on Facebook.
- Okay, wait, wait, wait.
So you went out
with your friends.
You think at some point in
the night they convinced you
to sign up for, like,
a premium Snapchat?
- And two weeks later you
get a Facebook message.
- Did she say that
that's how you met?
- She said something
about Snapchat.
Started talking to her,
then this connection
started happening because
she likes everything I like.
It's strange, but, like,
'cause I got out
of a relationship, that's
something to fall back to.
She made me feel good.
Like when I was sexier.
- Where does Annabelle live?
- She says she lived
in Portland, Oregon.
- You live very close to her.
- Yes.
I tried to meet up and stuff.
She's busy working.
- And have you guys only
messaged through Facebook,
or have you talked
on the phone?
- She will not let me call her
or talk to her or nothing.
- So you don't even
have her phone number.
- I don't.
- Wow.
- Where would you say your
feelings are on, like,
a scale of one to in love?
- It's hard to love someone
that you don't know,
but the connection--
the connection I love about it
is a strong eight.
- Whoa.
- Because we do talk a lot.
Like, we have all
this connection.
Like, she loves sports.
I'm a big sports fanatic.
She does make me happy,
like, when I message her.
- Had it occurred to you that
this Annabelle could be lying
to you in some way?
- The only reason I think
that to be honest is 'cause
I'm talking to you
live right now.
So...
- [laughs]
- Yeah, it's not a great sign
if you're talking to me
before you're talking
to your girlfriend.
- Like...
- But, hey, I'm here,
so maybe it's your lucky day.
- Yeah.
- Hopefully something
good comes out of it.
- Right.
- Do you want to have us come
out there and see if we can
help figure this out?
- Yeah, like,
I'm curious about this girl.
Curious about who she is
and why she's contacting me
and not trying
to meet up with me.
- All right, well,
we need to go pack up.
- And we will see you tomorrow.
- Thank you, guys.
- Portland.
- There you go, like...
- All right, later.
- I really liked him.
- His story definitely sounds
like an inside job.
Especially since the email came
from an "anonymous source."
- Right.
- All right,
let's go get our stuff.
- Donuts, donuts, donuts.
♪
Portland!
♪
- ♪ I can't explain
why my bed shakes ♪
♪ When there's no one around
♪
♪ No one around
- Part of me feels like
he's out with his buddies
and he sort of unintentionally
meets somebody on Snapchat.
Like, maybe it's one
of his buddies.
- It's a little weird.
- ♪ I don't believe...
- This is his grandma's
neighborhood.
- ♪ In ghosts
- Is that Grandma sitting
on the front porch?
♪
- Hi.
- Hello.
both: Hey.
- Holy [bleep].
- What's up?
- What's up, man?
both: How's it going?
- Good, how you doing?
- Good to meet you.
- You, too.
- Hey, Laura.
- Laura.
- Hi, is this your grandma?
- Hi.
- This is Nev.
- Huh?
- Nev.
Like Steve, but with an N.
- Oh, Nev.
- And this is my wife, Laura.
- Laura, hi.
- Hi.
- Lovely to meet you.
- Yeah.
You know what we're doing here?
- Pfff.
- Kind of?
- Oh, basically, yeah.
- What kind of person
would you say Derek is?
- Boy, that's hard to say.
- What?
- I think most grandmas love
their grandsons
whether they should
or shouldn't.
But he's been--he's been
special to me for a long time.
- Does he fall in love fast?
- Yeah.
- How about you?
You, uh--
You dating anybody?
- [scoffs]
You want me to date
an 80-year-old man?
I don't think so.
- [laughs]
- All right, well,
we're gonna--
- Do you wanna go
inside and talk?
- Go inside and talk
to Derek for a minute.
- Okay, can I go
to my bedroom now and read?
- Of course.
- Yeah.
- Okay, I said I wasn't gonna
get my picture taken.
- You look awesome.
- Thank you.
- All right, let's, uh, sit.
- Cool, so, you wanna sit?
This house has made
me so happy.
- Ever since I was little,
I was always over here.
I'm like, "I'm gonna go live
with Grandma when I'm 18."
- She seems amazing.
- Oh, she's a character.
- All right, so have you
thought about who could have
sent that email?
- No.
I don't even know
who that could be.
- We're pretty confident it's
either Annabelle who wrote in
or it could be someone
close to you.
- Maybe it's your
ex-girlfriend.
- Or is it possible your
ex-girlfriend is Annabelle?
- There's no way.
We don't get along.
She's out of the picture.
- I just wanna get, like,
the story a little more.
- Yes.
- The Snapchat part of it.
- So you download Snapchat
and you go and you find
this stoner babe girl.
- Stoner Babes, yes.
- And then Annabelle messaged
you on Facebook
two weeks later?
- Yes.
- Did she bring up any
of the things that you did
on the Snapchat?
- She said something
about late night snaps.
- So when you look
at her profile,
you see photos of her.
- She has about,
like, four photos.
That's a red flag, dude.
- Yeah.
- But I--I really hope she is
who she says she is.
Every time I talk to her
I do feel happy.
Even when I'm feeling down.
She loves everything I love.
I feel like I know her.
I have hope that this
is gonna turn out good.
I have hope--
- Written on your wrist.
- Yeah, see?
Like, yeah.
Written on my wrist.
I'm a big believer everything
happens for a reason.
- Can we look at some
of your messages?
- Yeah, I wanna
see her profile.
- Just wanna s--yeah.
- You guys do a lot
of kissy face, hearts.
So here are her
profile pictures.
- Cute.
- Yeah.
I can see you
and this girl going out.
- Yeah.
- She posts a lot
of pictures of food.
- Food. She works at
an Italian restaurant.
- Do you know the name of it?
- I don't think she told me
where she worked at.
She's got 110 friends.
- 110 friends.
That's a lot.
- They have one
actual mutual friend.
both: Jennifer [bleep].
Do you know Jen in real life?
- Yeah.
- Have you asked her
about Annabelle?
- Uh, she said she
met her on Facebook,
but that's it.
- Okay.
All right, well, look.
Because you only communicate
with her on Facebook,
it'd be nice for us to be able
to go through that.
Can you just text us
your login info?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
- Well, Derek...
- Nev.
- We're on the case.
- Hopefully you can
figure something out.
- See you soon.
[dramatic music]
Zero chance that he's
talking to that girl.
There's three photos.
I mean, it's just not possible.
- Yeah, and email from a friend
just feels like there's some...
- There's something going on.
- Closeness.
- Yeah.
It's an inside job.
- Let's do it.
We're going up.
- All right.
This is, like, old barn vibe.
- Here we are.
- Day two.
- All right.
So, Derek's 26.
- Who broke up with
his girlfriend.
- He's finally single after
a long relationship.
He goes out with some friends.
- Something happened
on Snapchat.
- Right.
- And some girl randomly
messages him two
weeks after that.
Four months later,
they're talking every day.
Right.
She lives nearby.
- She refuses to meet up.
- And the whole reason that
we're here is because
some anonymous tip came in
encouraging us to help him
because they were concerned
he's getting catfished.
- Yeah.
- Did he text us?
Yes, okay.
"Hey, here's the stuff
you asked for."
His Facebook login.
"You wanna talk
to my buddy Riley
who was with me the night
I was on Snapchat,
"here's his number.
"If you wanna look up my ex,
her name is Samantha.
Thank you 'cause I really wanna
get to the bottom of this."
Okay, let me just
log in as him.
It worked.
All right, great.
- Cool, we're in.
- All right, so we're in.
We're in.
So let's go straight
to messages.
Here we go. All right, we're
gonna scroll all the way up.
They do talk a lot.
- "Hey, there, handsome man.
What are you doing, baby?
I'm thinking about
you nonstop."
- They just jumped right into
a very, like, intimate--
- Yeah.
"I can't wait to have a husband
and a house and a family."
- Wow, I mean, they
really moved fast.
- "I'd be a great
wife someday."
All right, well, first things
first is the pictures, no?
- Well, let's--let's get all of
her pictures off her profile.
We'll try this one.
- Mmm.
- Mmm, no, okay.
both: Hmm.
Nothing for that one.
- Selfie.
- And then there's this one.
Hmm, no.
Here, hold on.
Wait.
There's food.
Lots of food.
Whoever Derek is talking
to clearly works
at this pizza restaurant,
right?
'Cause these are
pictures taken--
- Food prep.
- Yeah, like, in the kitchen.
- In the kitchen.
Okay.
What are we gonna do?
- We should definitely
message Jen.
It's their one mutual friend.
"Hey Jen, it's Nev
from 'Catfish.'
"Your friend Derek
has been talking
"to a girl named Annabelle.
You guys are friends
on Facebook."
- "Thanks."
- All right.
All right, so let's just
quickly look up his ex.
Samantha.
So, this is the heartbreaker.
All right.
Well, let's message her.
So we just sent Sam--
Derek's ex--a message.
- Is there anything other
that we can look?
- I mean, we can talk to his
other friend who was with Derek
the night he was on Snapchat.
[phone trilling]
- Hello, Riley?
- Hey, it's Nev, uh,
from "Catfish."
How you doing?
- So, you know about Annabelle.
- And you were with
Derek that night--
- He was on Snapchat.
Hey, it's Laura, by the way.
- He went out--You
guys went out.
I'm sorry, I'm with my wife,
Laura.
He said something about
messaging Stoner Babes.
- He was thirsty.
- Are you friends
with Jennifer [bleep]?
- Who--and who is that?
- And what are your thoughts
on Derek and Annabelle
and this relationship?
All right, well, we'll let you
know if we find anything out
or if--or if you think
of anything, give us a call.
- All right, well, should we
look at Becca [bleep]?
Jen's old roommate?
- Yeah.
There she is.
So, we could talk to her.
- Yeah, because if she still
hangs out with Jen...
- Maybe she knows Annabelle.
Let's send her a message
I guess, right?
- Yeah.
- At this point Jen, Samantha,
and anybody else
who knows Dereck is a suspect.
Either...
- Right.
- As the person
who wrote the email,
or because the email writer
is potentially a suspect
could just be the person
Derek's talking to.
- Right.
[cell phone rings]
- All right.
- Okay.
- This is probably Sam, right?
Derek's ex.
Hello.
- Hey, is this Samantha?
- Hey, oh, hey, Sam.
- Hi, Sam.
- This might be
a little awkward,
but we are helping your ex,
Derek, figure out who
the girl he's been talking
to on the Internet is.
It crossed our minds that
perhaps after your breakup
with Derek that maybe you could
have potentially created
this profile.
[dramatic music]
Um, and there's no one you can
think of that might wanna mess
with him?
- Do you and Derek know anyone
who works at a restaurant,
like, in the kitchen?
both: Becca.
- Becca [bleep]?
- Isn't that Jen's--
- That was Jen's old roommate.
- Got it.
Okay.
Great.
All right, well, thank you.
- Okay, bye.
- Ooh!
- All right, so Becca
works at the kitchen
at a Pizza place.
Becca...
- The plot thickens.
- Is now a...
- Top.
- A top suspect.
- Top suspect.
The proof is in the pizza.
- Becca works at a pizza place.
Becca...
- The plot thickens.
- Is now a...
- Top.
- A top suspect.
- Top suspect.
- She's single.
- She lives in Vancouver.
- But why wouldn't Becca
just hit him up?
She's cute.
She's single.
She's--
- I don't know.
It's weird.
I mean, there's no reason
that they couldn't date.
Maybe something happened
between them.
- I'm just trying to see
if there's anything else
on the Annabelle profile.
There's this picture
at this restaurant.
Let's see if we can
find this place, okay?
'Cause we know it's probably
in the Vancouver area.
- Yeah.
- Okay?
It starts with a--
- Yeah, okay.
- With a J?
Oh, wow, now we can see it.
Juliano's.
- Juliano's.
- J-u-l-i-a-n-o.
Juliano's.
Juliano's Pizza.
Vancouver, Washington.
[cell phone rings]
both: Oh.
It's gonna be Becca.
- Hello?
both: Hi.
Who's this?
both: Jen, hey.
What's up, Jen?
This is Nev.
How you doing?
Thanks for calling.
Your friend Derek has been
talking to this girl Annabelle
for a few months on Facebook.
- Do you know her?
- Oh, cool.
Uh, where do you guys work?
- Through an app.
- Have anything
to do with Snapchat?
Stoner Babes?
- Okay, I guess I s--I--
- Oh.
- I get it.
I understand what
you're saying.
We don't wanna make
you uncomfortable.
Obviously if there's
something you're not in--
you don't wanna talk about,
I totally understand that.
Um, but, do you work
with her personally,
or do you just happen to know
her through this app?
- Got it.
I see.
So you don't--you've never
met her in person.
both: Okay.
You know Derek's been talking
to her for, like,
a while now and he really
wants to meet her,
but she's always busy and we
got this email from a friend
of Derek encouraging
us to help.
So we're just trying
to figure out who she is
and what her deal is.
- Okay.
Do you wanna text us or tell us
anything that you think
would be helpful?
- Thanks anyway, Jen.
- That was awful.
- Whoa.
She was so sketchy.
"I don't know who
sent the email.
"I don't know anything.
Don't know her.
Never saw her.
Nope, don't know her."
- She definitely
knows something.
Jennifer could have used
the sort of life of Becca.
She works at a restaurant.
She's got all these pictures
to create in this fake profile.
So, I mean, if we were
to go to Juliano's--
- It would give us a lead.
- It might give us either
new information or confirm
sort of what we
already suspect.
- And we get to eat pizza.
- And we could eat
some delicious pizza.
Let's taste that pie.
- That's all I wanna do.
- Okay.
All right, Juliano's.
- Off to Juliano's.
- Maybe we'll find
a piece of evidence.
- A slice of insight.
- Ooh.
- [laughs]
[cell phone rings]
- Oh.
Oh, gonna answer that?
- Hello?
- Hi.
- Yeah, hi.
Who's this?
- Yeah.
- Oh, hey.
This is Nev from "Catfish."
So we're here in Vancouver
making an episode--
- That concerns your
friend Derek.
Do you know Derek?
- Well, he's been talking
to someone on Facebook
for a few months and so we're
just trying to figure out
who that person might be.
- Right, that--that's the girl
we're trying to figure out.
- It seems as though Annabelle
and your--your roommate Jen--
- Got it.
Well, it seems as though they
are friends on Facebook
and kind of know each other.
- Is that from Stoner Girls?
- Okay, that--I understand.
- Okay, that's fine.
But do you know, like--did Jen
ever have a crush on Derek
as far as you knew?
Did she have any
feelings for him?
- And you don't like Derek,do you?
- So, Annabelle has photos on
her profile that make it look
like she's in the back
of the kitchen.
This place called Juliano's.
- Pizza Schmizza?
- Does Jen work at
a restaurant also, or no?
both: All right.
- Thanks, Becca.
- Cool, yeah, thanks.
- Bye.
- Huh.
- Super sweet.
- All right, so,
I don't think it's Becca.
- I don't think it's Becca.
- Becca works
at Pizza Schmizza,
not Juliano's.
- So far the only person we've
talked to that seems sketchy
is Jen.
- Right.
Why is Jen being super shady?
She's definitely
involved somehow.
- Let's check it out.
- Okay.
All right.
- Hello.
- Hey, how are you?
- Good, how are you?
- Hey, how are you?
- Good.
- So, we were called up here
because a young man
for five months has been
talking to this girl
on the Internet.
There's something a little
fishy about her.
- There's a chance she works
here, we're thinking.
- Oh, okay.
- Have you seen this person?
- She says her
name is Annabelle.
- No.
No.
- What about Jennifer?
- Do you know this girl?
- No, she does not
look familiar.
[dramatic music]
- This person?
- Her name is Becca.
- No.
- [sighs]
- All right.
Well--
- Well, we thought
it was worth a shot.
All right, well, do you mind
if we hang out for a minute?
- No, please.
- All right, let's call--
- Derek.
[phone trilling]
- Hey oh.
- Hi, Derek.
It's Laura and Nev.
- We definitely have stuff
to talk about.
And the lead led us to
a place called Juliano's.
Do you know this, uh,
pizza place?
- Why don't you just meet us
here and we'll tell you
what we found?
All right, see you soon.
[dramatic music]
- Oh.
- Hey.
- What's up, man?
- So, what the hell
did you guys find?
- The better question
is what didn't we find.
- So why don't you come--come
in a little closer
so we can all gather around?
We started this morning
with an image search.
We went to her profile
and we pulled all the images
that she had posted of herself.
None of the pictures
are coming back with any hits.
- Nothing for Annabelle?
- Nothing came up.
- No.
- So while we can't confirm
that she's not the girl
in her profile picture, we're
pretty confident at this point.
- Confident it might be, or--
- Confident that it's not.
Sorry.
Considering that there
are only three photos of her
on her Facebook page.
- That would be incredibly
optimistic to say that those
photos are of a real person,
the person you've
been talking to.
- So then we started thinking,
"Okay, let's--let's talk
to some people that
we know are real."
So we spoke--
- To Jen.
- We said, "Hey, we saw that
you are Facebook friends
with Annabelle."
And Jen got very tight
lipped and was like,
"We work on an app together."
So I said,
"Is it Stoner Babes?"
And Jen got super shady
and she said,
"I don't wanna talk about it."
[dramatic music]
- So we don't know if she
wasn't friendly to us because
it's her,
she knows some information,
or she just doesn't wanna talk
about how she knows Annabelle.
- So there's something going on
between Jen and Annabelle.
Have you ever had
a thing with Jen?
- No, never fooled around
or nothing with Jen.
- Okay, so the last person
that we spoke to was Becca.
- Loved talking to her.
- Couldn't have been nicer.
- But it definitely didn't
sound like it was her.
But she does cook pizza
and prepares food.
At a place called
Pizza Schmizza.
- I just don't think
it's Becca in my--
- I a--we asked
her straight up.
We were like, "Do you ever
think about or have feelings
for Derek?"
And she kind of laughed.
She's like, "No,
he's my brother basically."
Like, "That would be weird."
- Yeah.
- Well, so then we
started thinking,
Becca and Jen were roommates.
It's--we're trying to figure
out where Annabelle would have
access to clearly, like,
very personal real photos
of the kitchen
at a pizza place
to validate her story.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's not farfetched to think
that someone that Annabelle
knows works at a pizza place.
Perhaps Becca may have sent
photos to Jen of food
from the restaurant.
- You're all making me
think it's Jen now.
- Would that be terrible?
- If it's Jen,
I'm not gonna lie to you.
She is cute.
- So right now our top suspect
is someone that you would
kinda be okay with.
- I guess so.
- And you know she's cool and--
- And it'll be a happy end--
Look at.
I wore my love shirt.
I'm optimistic.
- Yeah.
But if it were Jen,
why wouldn't she just
ask you out?
Like, why would she go through
this crazy elaborate--
- That's what I'm thinking.
- That doesn't make sense.
- The only reason I can think
is because she has a boyfriend.
So if she loves you--
- That'd be awkward, though.
- What is she hiding?
So I think what we should do
now is I could message
Annabelle and just say,
you know, "Hey, I'm here
"in Vancouver trying to help
your friend Derek.
Can you meet up?"
- If she's the one
who wrote in,
maybe she does wanna come clean
and she does wanna meet you.
- All right, so,
let's send her a message.
"Hey, Annabelle.
"This is Nev from
the MTV show 'Catfish.'
"I'm sure by now you've heard
we are here in Washington
"filming an episode
with your friend Derek.
"We know you guys have been
talking for a while
and Derek would love
to meet you in person."
- Okay, you comfortable
with this?
- Yeah.
You guys got my
palms all sweaty now.
- All right,
so that's been sent.
- Oh, oh, oh!
Ty--We've got bubbles.
- We have--
- That's a big deal.
[dramatic music]
- Wait.
- Um, she stopped typing.
- Oh, oh, oh, okay.
[phone dings]
"Heard you were here.
I'm just super nervous.
I don't deal well
with confrontation."
- Like what makes her think
it's gonna be a confrontation?
- Well, if it's someone
that he has a history with
or if it's a guy...
- "He isn't expecting you to be
the person in the pictures."
- "I think you will
feel a lot better
once this is all out
in the open."
[messenger chimes]
- "Okay, as long as he's
really open to anything."
- "I can probably
make time tomorrow."
- Okay, tomorrow works.
"Um, message me a specific
time and place."
- Okay.
Hopefully you'll have some
clarity tomorrow.
- All right, well, let's
get out of here, then.

a brother to me;
I've known you for so long.

my best friend and my sisters.
- Jeremy, how long did you know
she'd been catfishing Derek?
- Probably, like, after, like,
a month or two, I knew.
- How did you find out?
- I had a feeling just because
she was always on her phone
and then I was asking her
who she was talking to,
and then one day I just
kind of figured it out.
- I'm [bleep]--
I'm mind blown right now.
- So, what is this
Snapchat group?
- It's something that--stuff my
old roommate used to do
that I helped, like,
participate in.
- Jen?
- Yeah.
It's, like, how Annabelle
and him started talking.
It's, like, I can't really talk
about the Snapchat thing.
It's a private--
- Fine, but you were
on that group?
- Yeah, the private Snapchat.
- Does Jen know
who Annabelle is?
- Like, she knows
lots of girls,
so I don't think to her--it
doesn't even process to, like,
"Do I know her?
Oh, she's a part of my group."
That's all that matters.
- Jen does not know
that you're Annabelle?
- I don't think so.
- Okay.
- I feel so stupid right now.
This is, like, my life, bro.
We've all been like one big
family since we met.
Like, back in, like,
high school days, you know?
- She's not trying to hurt you,dude.
Especially all
you've been through.
You know?
She just cares about you.
- I wouldn't be here right
now if I didn't mean
everything that I said.
- I--I loved talking
to Annabelle.
Well, you.
Like, you know?
Like, you made me feel good.
But, like, there could have
been, like, a better shot,
like, if you really
liked me instead
of going through all this.
[dramatic music]
- Derek, why don't--
take a second.
- Yeah.
- Try to give yourself
a moment.
You guys wanna
talk for a second?
- Yeah, we'll talk
for a second and then--
- And then--
- Maybe you guys can talk.
- Yeah.
- Dude, I feel so
embarrassed.

tell you I wrote in.
- I just wish you would
have told me before this.
- Do you really have
feelings for Derek
or was it an attention thing?
- I definitely do.
I definitely do.
- This is mind blowing, bro.
Like, you didn't even
think it was Becca.
Like, that was the last
person I would think
on this planet is Becca.
- You never got
any clues from them
or it never seemed weird?
- Dude, like, I know Becca.
- She's--she's smart,
but, like,
not a day in my life would I
think she would do this to me.
- Well, sometimes you think
you know someone and--
- You guess you don't, dude.
Like...
- What was the point?
- To see if he felt the same
way as I felt about him.
- About this random girl
whose picture is--
- Yeah, I know.
Saying it out loud,
it doesn't sound as smart
as it did in my head, okay?
I guess I always thought
I was friend zoned.

and sister, you know?
We're like family.
- So you thought you'd be
the little sister forever,
sort of thing?
- Yeah.

Holy [bleep].
- So, look, let's go talk not
in this weird parking lot.
- Spot?
Yeah.
- Let's--let's see if they'll
meet us at, like--
We've got this little park
nearby that we can go to
and can sit and talk there.
- All right.
[dramatic music]
all: Hey.
We thought rather than
standing around here,
why don't we go to, like,
a nicer place to sit
where you guys can have
a little bit of time
to talk to each other?
Why don't you guys follow us?
- Okay.
- All right, we'll see
you in a few minutes.
- Wow.
To be honest, like,
I'm almost glad it is her.
She's cool as hell.
I'll admit.
I tried to hook up
with her back in the day.
I'm not gonna lie.
- Oh, so you tried
to hook up with her.
- Yeah, probably, like,
even, like, recently.
- Oh, recently?
- Really?
- Before this whole Annabelle
thing maybe, I just--
- What?
- I think she's cute.
- And then did you, like,
follow up the next day
like, "Hey, what are you doing?
Should we hang out or--"
- I just thought it was
awkward, to be honest.
Like, I'm the one that kind of,
like...
- Oh.
- Pushed away.
Like, I tried to go for it,
and I felt awkward 'cause,
like, I don't look
at her that way.
- Well, so--so
you were just horny?
- Yeah, it was
just stray hands.
Just got broken up with.
Like, haven't got
laid for a while, so...
- After that she's
probably like, "Oh, no.
I want him to think
about me more than that."
- This whole thing just
got even more complicated.
- How did you not
bring this up?
This changes everything.
- Okay, so--
- Here we are.
- Hello.
- Oh, God.
- Well, a few things
came to light--
- Yeah.
- In the car.
Derek told us that you guys
actually hooked up.

bathroom a while ago.

drunk that night.

this had happened?

It's a little bit weird.

and I'm worried that maybe
she's not who she says she is."
- Okay.
- I--so, I guess we just wanna
know a little more information
about you and Annabelle
and your relationship.
- Okay, I guess, uh,
it all started when, uh--
I was in this
three-year relationship.
And we broke up about
five months ago.
Then one of my good buddies,
we went out
and got some drinks.
And the last thing I remember
of that night...
I don't really remember it.
To be honest, I was two
[bleep] to the wind.
You know,
I just got broken up.
I was trying to go
have some fun.
I woke up and I
deleted everything,
'cause I don't Snap.
But then about two
weeks after that,
I get this message from
Annabelle on Facebook.
- Okay, wait, wait, wait.
So you went out
with your friends.
You think at some point in
the night they convinced you
to sign up for, like,
a premium Snapchat?
- And two weeks later you
get a Facebook message.
- Did she say that
that's how you met?
- She said something
about Snapchat.
Started talking to her,
then this connection
started happening because
she likes everything I like.
It's strange, but, like,
'cause I got out
of a relationship, that's
something to fall back to.
She made me feel good.
Like when I was sexier.
- Where does Annabelle live?
- She says she lived
in Portland, Oregon.
- You live very close to her.
- Yes.
I tried to meet up and stuff.
She's busy working.
- And have you guys only
messaged through Facebook,
or have you talked
on the phone?
- She will not let me call her
or talk to her or nothing.
- So you don't even
have her phone number.
- I don't.
- Wow.
- Where would you say your
feelings are on, like,
a scale of one to in love?
- It's hard to love someone
that you don't know,
but the connection--
the connection I love about it
is a strong eight.
- Whoa.
- Because we do talk a lot.
Like, we have all
this connection.
Like, she loves sports.
I'm a big sports fanatic.
She does make me happy,
like, when I message her.
- Had it occurred to you that
this Annabelle could be lying
to you in some way?
- The only reason I think
that to be honest is 'cause
I'm talking to you
live right now.
So...
- [laughs]
- Yeah, it's not a great sign
if you're talking to me
before you're talking
to your girlfriend.
- Like...
- But, hey, I'm here,
so maybe it's your lucky day.
- Yeah.
- Hopefully something
good comes out of it.
- Right.
- Do you want to have us come
out there and see if we can
help figure this out?
- Yeah, like,
I'm curious about this girl.
Curious about who she is
and why she's contacting me
and not trying
to meet up with me.
- All right, well,
we need to go pack up.
- And we will see you tomorrow.
- Thank you, guys.
- Portland.
- There you go, like...
- All right, later.
- I really liked him.
- His story definitely sounds
like an inside job.
Especially since the email came
from an "anonymous source."
- Right.
- All right,
let's go get our stuff.
- Donuts, donuts, donuts.
♪
Portland!
♪
- ♪ I can't explain
why my bed shakes ♪
♪ When there's no one around

♪ No one around
- Part of me feels like
he's out with his buddies
and he sort of unintentionally
meets somebody on Snapchat.
Like, maybe it's one
of his buddies.
- It's a little weird.
- ♪ I don't believe...
- This is his grandma's
neighborhood.

- Hi.
- Hello.
both: Hey.
- Holy [bleep].
- What's up?
- What's up, man?
both: How's it going?
- Good, how you doing?
- Good to meet you.
- You, too.
- Hey, Laura.
- Laura.
- Hi, is this your grandma?
- Hi.
- This is Nev.
- Huh?
- Nev.
Like Steve, but with an N.
- Oh, Nev.
- And this is my wife, Laura.
- Laura, hi.
- Hi.
- Lovely to meet you.
- Yeah.
You know what we're doing here?
- Pfff.
- Kind of?
- Oh, basically, yeah.
- What kind of person
would you say Derek is?
- Boy, that's hard to say.
- What?
- I think most grandmas love
their grandsons
whether they should
or shouldn't.
But he's been--he's been
special to me for a long time.
- Does he fall in love fast?
- Yeah.
- How about you?
You, uh--
You dating anybody?
- [scoffs]
You want me to date
an 80-year-old man?
I don't think so.
- [laughs]
- All right, well,
we're gonna--
- Do you wanna go
inside and talk?
- Go inside and talk
to Derek for a minute.
- Okay, can I go
to my bedroom now and read?
- Of course.
- Yeah.
- Okay, I said I wasn't gonna
get my picture taken.
- You look awesome.
- Thank you.
- All right, let's, uh, sit.
- Cool, so, you wanna sit?
This house has made
me so happy.
- Ever since I was little,
I was always over here.
I'm like, "I'm gonna go live
with Grandma when I'm 18."
- She seems amazing.
- Oh, she's a character.
- All right, so have you
thought about who could have
sent that email?
- No.
I don't even know
who that could be.
- We're pretty confident it's
either Annabelle who wrote in
or it could be someone
close to you.
- Maybe it's your
ex-girlfriend.
- Or is it possible your
ex-girlfriend is Annabelle?
- There's no way.
We don't get along.
She's out of the picture.
- I just wanna get, like,
the story a little more.
- Yes.
- The Snapchat part of it.
- So you download Snapchat
and you go and you find
this stoner babe girl.
- Stoner Babes, yes.
- And then Annabelle messaged
you on Facebook
two weeks later?
- Yes.
- Did she bring up any
of the things that you did
on the Snapchat?
- She said something
about late night snaps.
- So when you look
at her profile,
you see photos of her.
- She has about,
like, four photos.
That's a red flag, dude.
- Yeah.
- But I--I really hope she is
who she says she is.
Every time I talk to her
I do feel happy.
Even when I'm feeling down.
She loves everything I love.
I feel like I know her.
I have hope that this
is gonna turn out good.
I have hope--
- Written on your wrist.
- Yeah, see?
Like, yeah.
Written on my wrist.
I'm a big believer everything
happens for a reason.
- Can we look at some
of your messages?
- Yeah, I wanna
see her profile.
- Just wanna s--yeah.
- You guys do a lot
of kissy face, hearts.
So here are her
profile pictures.
- Cute.
- Yeah.
I can see you
and this girl going out.
- Yeah.
- She posts a lot
of pictures of food.
- Food. She works at
an Italian restaurant.
- Do you know the name of it?
- I don't think she told me
where she worked at.
She's got 110 friends.
- 110 friends.
That's a lot.
- They have one
actual mutual friend.
both: Jennifer [bleep].
Do you know Jen in real life?
- Yeah.
- Have you asked her
about Annabelle?
- Uh, she said she
met her on Facebook,
but that's it.
- Okay.
All right, well, look.
Because you only communicate
with her on Facebook,
it'd be nice for us to be able
to go through that.
Can you just text us
your login info?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
- Well, Derek...
- Nev.
- We're on the case.
- Hopefully you can
figure something out.
- See you soon.
[dramatic music]
Zero chance that he's
talking to that girl.
There's three photos.
I mean, it's just not possible.
- Yeah, and email from a friend
just feels like there's some...
- There's something going on.
- Closeness.
- Yeah.
It's an inside job.
- Let's do it.
We're going up.
- All right.
This is, like, old barn vibe.
- Here we are.
- Day two.
- All right.
So, Derek's 26.
- Who broke up with
his girlfriend.
- He's finally single after
a long relationship.
He goes out with some friends.
- Something happened
on Snapchat.
- Right.
- And some girl randomly
messages him two
weeks after that.
Four months later,
they're talking every day.
Right.
She lives nearby.
- She refuses to meet up.
- And the whole reason that
we're here is because
some anonymous tip came in
encouraging us to help him
because they were concerned
he's getting catfished.
- Yeah.
- Did he text us?
Yes, okay.
"Hey, here's the stuff
you asked for."
His Facebook login.
"You wanna talk
to my buddy Riley
who was with me the night
I was on Snapchat,
"here's his number.
"If you wanna look up my ex,
her name is Samantha.
Thank you 'cause I really wanna
get to the bottom of this."
Okay, let me just
log in as him.
It worked.
All right, great.
- Cool, we're in.
- All right, so we're in.
We're in.
So let's go straight
to messages.
Here we go. All right, we're
gonna scroll all the way up.
They do talk a lot.
- "Hey, there, handsome man.
What are you doing, baby?
I'm thinking about
you nonstop."
- They just jumped right into
a very, like, intimate--
- Yeah.
"I can't wait to have a husband
and a house and a family."
- Wow, I mean, they
really moved fast.
- "I'd be a great
wife someday."
All right, well, first things
first is the pictures, no?
- Well, let's--let's get all of
her pictures off her profile.
We'll try this one.
- Mmm.
- Mmm, no, okay.
both: Hmm.
Nothing for that one.
- Selfie.
- And then there's this one.
Hmm, no.
Here, hold on.
Wait.
There's food.
Lots of food.
Whoever Derek is talking
to clearly works
at this pizza restaurant,
right?
'Cause these are
pictures taken--
- Food prep.
- Yeah, like, in the kitchen.
- In the kitchen.
Okay.
What are we gonna do?
- We should definitely
message Jen.
It's their one mutual friend.
"Hey Jen, it's Nev
from 'Catfish.'
"Your friend Derek
has been talking
"to a girl named Annabelle.
You guys are friends
on Facebook."
- "Thanks."
- All right.
All right, so let's just
quickly look up his ex.
Samantha.
So, this is the heartbreaker.
All right.
Well, let's message her.
So we just sent Sam--
Derek's ex--a message.
- Is there anything other
that we can look?
- I mean, we can talk to his
other friend who was with Derek
the night he was on Snapchat.
[phone trilling]
- Hello, Riley?
- Hey, it's Nev, uh,
from "Catfish."
How you doing?
- So, you know about Annabelle.
- And you were with
Derek that night--
- He was on Snapchat.
Hey, it's Laura, by the way.
- He went out--You
guys went out.
I'm sorry, I'm with my wife,
Laura.
He said something about
messaging Stoner Babes.
- He was thirsty.
- Are you friends
with Jennifer [bleep]?
- Who--and who is that?
- And what are your thoughts
on Derek and Annabelle
and this relationship?
All right, well, we'll let you
know if we find anything out
or if--or if you think
of anything, give us a call.
- All right, well, should we
look at Becca [bleep]?
Jen's old roommate?
- Yeah.
There she is.
So, we could talk to her.
- Yeah, because if she still
hangs out with Jen...
- Maybe she knows Annabelle.
Let's send her a message
I guess, right?
- Yeah.
- At this point Jen, Samantha,
and anybody else
who knows Dereck is a suspect.
Either...
- Right.
- As the person
who wrote the email,
or because the email writer
is potentially a suspect
could just be the person
Derek's talking to.
- Right.
[cell phone rings]
- All right.
- Okay.
- This is probably Sam, right?
Derek's ex.
Hello.
- Hey, is this Samantha?
- Hey, oh, hey, Sam.
- Hi, Sam.
- This might be
a little awkward,
but we are helping your ex,
Derek, figure out who
the girl he's been talking
to on the Internet is.
It crossed our minds that
perhaps after your breakup
with Derek that maybe you could
have potentially created
this profile.
[dramatic music]
Um, and there's no one you can
think of that might wanna mess
with him?
- Do you and Derek know anyone
who works at a restaurant,
like, in the kitchen?
both: Becca.
- Becca [bleep]?
- Isn't that Jen's--
- That was Jen's old roommate.
- Got it.
Okay.
Great.
All right, well, thank you.
- Okay, bye.
- Ooh!
- All right, so Becca
works at the kitchen
at a Pizza place.
Becca...
- The plot thickens.
- Is now a...
- Top.
- A top suspect.
- Top suspect.
The proof is in the pizza.
- Becca works at a pizza place.
Becca...
- The plot thickens.
- Is now a...
- Top.
- A top suspect.
- Top suspect.
- She's single.
- She lives in Vancouver.
- But why wouldn't Becca
just hit him up?
She's cute.
She's single.
She's--
- I don't know.
It's weird.
I mean, there's no reason
that they couldn't date.
Maybe something happened
between them.
- I'm just trying to see
if there's anything else
on the Annabelle profile.
There's this picture
at this restaurant.
Let's see if we can
find this place, okay?
'Cause we know it's probably
in the Vancouver area.
- Yeah.
- Okay?
It starts with a--
- Yeah, okay.
- With a J?
Oh, wow, now we can see it.
Juliano's.
- Juliano's.
- J-u-l-i-a-n-o.
Juliano's.
Juliano's Pizza.
Vancouver, Washington.
[cell phone rings]
both: Oh.
It's gonna be Becca.
- Hello?
both: Hi.
Who's this?
both: Jen, hey.
What's up, Jen?
This is Nev.
How you doing?
Thanks for calling.
Your friend Derek has been
talking to this girl Annabelle
for a few months on Facebook.
- Do you know her?
- Oh, cool.
Uh, where do you guys work?
- Through an app.
- Have anything
to do with Snapchat?
Stoner Babes?
- Okay, I guess I s--I--
- Oh.
- I get it.
I understand what
you're saying.
We don't wanna make
you uncomfortable.
Obviously if there's
something you're not in--
you don't wanna talk about,
I totally understand that.
Um, but, do you work
with her personally,
or do you just happen to know
her through this app?
- Got it.
I see.
So you don't--you've never
met her in person.
both: Okay.
You know Derek's been talking
to her for, like,
a while now and he really
wants to meet her,
but she's always busy and we
got this email from a friend
of Derek encouraging
us to help.
So we're just trying
to figure out who she is
and what her deal is.
- Okay.
Do you wanna text us or tell us
anything that you think
would be helpful?
- Thanks anyway, Jen.
- That was awful.
- Whoa.
She was so sketchy.
"I don't know who
sent the email.
"I don't know anything.
Don't know her.
Never saw her.
Nope, don't know her."
- She definitely
knows something.
Jennifer could have used
the sort of life of Becca.
She works at a restaurant.
She's got all these pictures
to create in this fake profile.
So, I mean, if we were
to go to Juliano's--
- It would give us a lead.
- It might give us either
new information or confirm
sort of what we
already suspect.
- And we get to eat pizza.
- And we could eat
some delicious pizza.
Let's taste that pie.
- That's all I wanna do.
- Okay.
All right, Juliano's.
- Off to Juliano's.
- Maybe we'll find
a piece of evidence.
- A slice of insight.
- Ooh.
- [laughs]
[cell phone rings]
- Oh.
Oh, gonna answer that?
- Hello?
- Hi.
- Yeah, hi.
Who's this?
- Yeah.
- Oh, hey.
This is Nev from "Catfish."
So we're here in Vancouver
making an episode--
- That concerns your
friend Derek.
Do you know Derek?
- Well, he's been talking
to someone on Facebook
for a few months and so we're
just trying to figure out
who that person might be.
- Right, that--that's the girl
we're trying to figure out.
- It seems as though Annabelle
and your--your roommate Jen--
- Got it.
Well, it seems as though they
are friends on Facebook
and kind of know each other.
- Is that from Stoner Girls?
- Okay, that--I understand.
- Okay, that's fine.
But do you know, like--did Jen
ever have a crush on Derek
as far as you knew?
Did she have any
feelings for him?
- And you don't like Derek,do you?
- So, Annabelle has photos on
her profile that make it look
like she's in the back
of the kitchen.
This place called Juliano's.
- Pizza Schmizza?
- Does Jen work at
a restaurant also, or no?
both: All right.
- Thanks, Becca.
- Cool, yeah, thanks.
- Bye.
- Huh.
- Super sweet.
- All right, so,
I don't think it's Becca.
- I don't think it's Becca.
- Becca works
at Pizza Schmizza,
not Juliano's.
- So far the only person we've
talked to that seems sketchy
is Jen.
- Right.
Why is Jen being super shady?
She's definitely
involved somehow.
- Let's check it out.
- Okay.
All right.
- Hello.
- Hey, how are you?
- Good, how are you?
- Hey, how are you?
- Good.
- So, we were called up here
because a young man
for five months has been
talking to this girl
on the Internet.
There's something a little
fishy about her.
- There's a chance she works
here, we're thinking.
- Oh, okay.
- Have you seen this person?
- She says her
name is Annabelle.
- No.
No.
- What about Jennifer?
- Do you know this girl?
- No, she does not
look familiar.
[dramatic music]
- This person?
- Her name is Becca.
- No.
- [sighs]
- All right.
Well--
- Well, we thought
it was worth a shot.
All right, well, do you mind
if we hang out for a minute?
- No, please.
- All right, let's call--
- Derek.
[phone trilling]
- Hey oh.
- Hi, Derek.
It's Laura and Nev.
- We definitely have stuff
to talk about.
And the lead led us to
a place called Juliano's.
Do you know this, uh,
pizza place?
- Why don't you just meet us
here and we'll tell you
what we found?
All right, see you soon.
[dramatic music]
- Oh.
- Hey.
- What's up, man?
- So, what the hell
did you guys find?
- The better question
is what didn't we find.
- So why don't you come--come
in a little closer
so we can all gather around?
We started this morning
with an image search.
We went to her profile
and we pulled all the images
that she had posted of herself.
None of the pictures
are coming back with any hits.
- Nothing for Annabelle?
- Nothing came up.
- No.
- So while we can't confirm
that she's not the girl
in her profile picture, we're
pretty confident at this point.
- Confident it might be, or--
- Confident that it's not.
Sorry.
Considering that there
are only three photos of her
on her Facebook page.
- That would be incredibly
optimistic to say that those
photos are of a real person,
the person you've
been talking to.
- So then we started thinking,
"Okay, let's--let's talk
to some people that
we know are real."
So we spoke--
- To Jen.
- We said, "Hey, we saw that
you are Facebook friends
with Annabelle."
And Jen got very tight
lipped and was like,
"We work on an app together."
So I said,
"Is it Stoner Babes?"
And Jen got super shady
and she said,
"I don't wanna talk about it."
[dramatic music]
- So we don't know if she
wasn't friendly to us because
it's her,
she knows some information,
or she just doesn't wanna talk
about how she knows Annabelle.
- So there's something going on
between Jen and Annabelle.
Have you ever had
a thing with Jen?
- No, never fooled around
or nothing with Jen.
- Okay, so the last person
that we spoke to was Becca.
- Loved talking to her.
- Couldn't have been nicer.
- But it definitely didn't
sound like it was her.
But she does cook pizza
and prepares food.
At a place called
Pizza Schmizza.
- I just don't think
it's Becca in my--
- I a--we asked
her straight up.
We were like, "Do you ever
think about or have feelings
for Derek?"
And she kind of laughed.
She's like, "No,
he's my brother basically."
Like, "That would be weird."
- Yeah.
- Well, so then we
started thinking,
Becca and Jen were roommates.
It's--we're trying to figure
out where Annabelle would have
access to clearly, like,
very personal real photos
of the kitchen
at a pizza place
to validate her story.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's not farfetched to think
that someone that Annabelle
knows works at a pizza place.
Perhaps Becca may have sent
photos to Jen of food
from the restaurant.
- You're all making me
think it's Jen now.
- Would that be terrible?
- If it's Jen,
I'm not gonna lie to you.
She is cute.
- So right now our top suspect
is someone that you would
kinda be okay with.
- I guess so.
- And you know she's cool and--
- And it'll be a happy end--
Look at.
I wore my love shirt.
I'm optimistic.
- Yeah.
But if it were Jen,
why wouldn't she just
ask you out?
Like, why would she go through
this crazy elaborate--
- That's what I'm thinking.
- That doesn't make sense.
- The only reason I can think
is because she has a boyfriend.
So if she loves you--
- That'd be awkward, though.
- What is she hiding?
So I think what we should do
now is I could message
Annabelle and just say,
you know, "Hey, I'm here
"in Vancouver trying to help
your friend Derek.
Can you meet up?"
- If she's the one
who wrote in,
maybe she does wanna come clean
and she does wanna meet you.
- All right, so,
let's send her a message.
"Hey, Annabelle.
"This is Nev from
the MTV show 'Catfish.'
"I'm sure by now you've heard
we are here in Washington
"filming an episode
with your friend Derek.
"We know you guys have been
talking for a while
and Derek would love
to meet you in person."
- Okay, you comfortable
with this?
- Yeah.
You guys got my
palms all sweaty now.
- All right,
so that's been sent.
- Oh, oh, oh!
Ty--We've got bubbles.
- We have--
- That's a big deal.
[dramatic music]
- Wait.
- Um, she stopped typing.
- Oh, oh, oh, okay.
[phone dings]
"Heard you were here.
I'm just super nervous.
I don't deal well
with confrontation."
- Like what makes her think
it's gonna be a confrontation?
- Well, if it's someone
that he has a history with
or if it's a guy...
- "He isn't expecting you to be
the person in the pictures."
- "I think you will
feel a lot better
once this is all out
in the open."
[messenger chimes]
- "Okay, as long as he's
really open to anything."
- "I can probably
make time tomorrow."
- Okay, tomorrow works.
"Um, message me a specific
time and place."
- Okay.
Hopefully you'll have some
clarity tomorrow.
- All right, well, let's
get out of here, then.
- ♪ Don't tell me we're fine
♪ Just to be kind

Oh!
- Oh, God!

- [laughs]
- Fine.
We get up so early.
- We got a lot to do today.
[dramatic music]
See, we could be matchmakers.
Today could be the day
we see true love happen.
- But she probably doesn't
get up this early.
- Well, the true love
takes a lot of prep.

- Why can't we have true love
in a couple hours?

I just was afraid to talk to
you as me because you're like
a brother to me;
I've known you for so long.
- I don't even
know what to say.
- We spoke to you yesterday
and you were very comfortable
talking to us and denying
to know anything,

in this whole time.

listening to both sides,

a secret anymore between
my best friend and my sisters.
- Jeremy, how long did you know
she'd been catfishing Derek?
- Probably, like, after, like,
a month or two, I knew.
- How did you find out?
- I had a feeling just because
she was always on her phone
and then I was asking her
who she was talking to,
and then one day I just
kind of figured it out.
- I'm [bleep]--
I'm mind blown right now.
- So, what is this
Snapchat group?

old roommate used to do
that I helped, like,
participate in.

and him started talking.
It's, like, I can't really talk
about the Snapchat thing.
It's a private--
- Fine, but you were
on that group?
- Yeah, the private Snapchat.
- Does Jen know
who Annabelle is?
- Like, she knows
lots of girls,
so I don't think to her--it
doesn't even process to, like,
"Do I know her?
Oh, she's a part of my group."
That's all that matters.
- Jen does not know
that you're Annabelle?
- I don't think so.
- Okay.
- I feel so stupid right now.
This is, like, my life, bro.
We've all been like one big
family since we met.
Like, back in, like,
high school days, you know?

Especially all
you've been through.
You know?
She just cares about you.

now if I didn't mean
everything that I said.

to Annabelle.
Well, you.
Like, you know?
Like, you made me feel good.
But, like, there could have
been, like, a better shot,
like, if you really
liked me instead
of going through all this.
[dramatic music]
- Derek, why don't--
take a second.
- Yeah.
- Try to give yourself
a moment.
You guys wanna
talk for a second?
- Yeah, we'll talk
for a second and then--
- And then--
- Maybe you guys can talk.
- Yeah.
- Dude, I feel so
embarrassed.
- I'm sorry I didn't
tell you I wrote in.
- I just wish you would
have told me before this.
- Do you really have
feelings for Derek
or was it an attention thing?
- I definitely do.
I definitely do.
- This is mind blowing, bro.
Like, you didn't even
think it was Becca.
Like, that was the last
person I would think
on this planet is Becca.
- You never got
any clues from them
or it never seemed weird?
- Dude, like, I know Becca.
- She's--she's smart,
but, like,
not a day in my life would I
think she would do this to me.
- Well, sometimes you think
you know someone and--
- You guess you don't, dude.
Like...
- What was the point?
- To see if he felt the same
way as I felt about him.
- About this random girl
whose picture is--
- Yeah, I know.
Saying it out loud,
it doesn't sound as smart
as it did in my head, okay?
I guess I always thought
I was friend zoned.
'Cause we're like brother
and sister, you know?
We're like family.
- So you thought you'd be
the little sister forever,
sort of thing?
- Yeah.
- I'm shooken right now.
Holy [bleep].

in this weird parking lot.

Yeah.

meet us at, like--
We've got this little park
nearby that we can go to
and can sit and talk there.
- All right.

all: Hey.
We thought rather than
standing around here,
why don't we go to, like,
a nicer place to sit
where you guys can have
a little bit of time
to talk to each other?
Why don't you guys follow us?
- Okay.
- All right, we'll see
you in a few minutes.
- Wow.
To be honest, like,
I'm almost glad it is her.
She's cool as hell.
I'll admit.
I tried to hook up
with her back in the day.
I'm not gonna lie.
- Oh, so you tried
to hook up with her.
- Yeah, probably, like,
even, like, recently.
- Oh, recently?
- Really?
- Before this whole Annabelle
thing maybe, I just--
- What?
- I think she's cute.
- And then did you, like,
follow up the next day
like, "Hey, what are you doing?
Should we hang out or--"
- I just thought it was
awkward, to be honest.
Like, I'm the one that kind of,
like...
- Oh.
- Pushed away.
Like, I tried to go for it,
and I felt awkward 'cause,
like, I don't look
at her that way.
- Well, so--so
you were just horny?
- Yeah, it was
just stray hands.
Just got broken up with.
Like, haven't got
laid for a while, so...
- After that she's
probably like, "Oh, no.
I want him to think
about me more than that."
- This whole thing just
got even more complicated.
- How did you not
bring this up?
This changes everything.
- Okay, so--
- Here we are.
- Hello.
- Oh, God.
- Well, a few things
came to light--

Derek told us that you guys
actually hooked up.

bathroom a while ago.

drunk that night.

this had happened?

It's a little bit weird.

It was, like, a make out sess
for about, like, five seconds.
- How--how do you remember it?
