Nick & Melissa is the thirteenth episode of the second season of the reality television series Catfish: The TV Show. Hosted by Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, the show follows people who have been in online relationships with others but have never met in person. Each episode follows the hosts as they help a different individual uncover the truth about their online love interest.

In this episode, Nev and Max are contacted by Nick, a young man who has been in an online relationship with a woman named Melissa for over two years but has never met her in person. Nick first met Melissa on Facebook, and they quickly hit it off. They had many shared interests, and Nick was smitten with her. However, things started to get strange when Melissa refused to video chat with Nick or even speak to him on the phone. She always had a reason why she couldn't video chat, such as her webcam being broken or her phone not being capable of video calls.

Despite all of this, Nick continued to talk to Melissa and even began to fall in love with her. He claims that they have talked every single day for the past two years, and that Melissa has become a huge part of his life. But Nick has also become increasingly suspicious of Melissa's behavior. He has caught her in several lies and inconsistencies, and he can't shake the feeling that something isn't right.

Nev and Max decide to help Nick by investigating Melissa's online presence and trying to find out the truth about who she really is. They start by looking at Melissa's Facebook profile and quickly discover that all of her pictures are either stock images or stolen from other people's profiles. Nev and Max then try to use Melissa's phone number to track her down, but they hit a dead end.

Undeterred, Nev and Max keep digging and eventually uncover some startling information about Melissa's true identity. They make contact with her and convince her to meet up with Nick in person. When the two finally meet, there are a lot of emotions and questions flying around. Nick wants to know why Melissa lied to him, and Melissa is defensive and upset that Nick contacted the show.

As Nev and Max help Nick navigate the murky waters of his relationship with Melissa, they also try to get to the heart of why someone would go to such great lengths to deceive another person online. They explore the psychology behind catfishing and help viewers understand why people might do this and how to protect themselves from falling victim to it.

Overall, Nick & Melissa is a gripping episode that showcases the complex emotions and relationships that can exist in the digital age. Nev and Max do an excellent job of helping Nick see the truth about his online love interest and also educating viewers about the dangers of online deception. The episode is both entertaining and educational and is sure to keep audiences glued to their screens from start to finish.
