Ep 16. Candic & Titus

Candic & Titus, episode 16 of season 5 of the popular MTV show Catfish: The TV Show, follows the story of Candic and Titus, who have been communicating online for three years. Candic says she fell in love with Titus’ personality and his unique sense of humor. The two have exchanged pictures but have never met in person. Candic is worried that Titus might be hiding something because he has refused to video chat with her. She has also noticed that he doesn't post many photos on his social media accounts.

Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, the hosts of Catfish, investigate the case and are skeptical about the authenticity of Titus’ identity. They reveal to Candic that there is very little information about Titus available online and that they do not even know what he looks like. The only thing they have is his phone number and a few pictures that he has sent Candic.

Nev and Max try to call Titus, but he does not answer his phone. They proceed to send him a text message asking him to meet up with them and Candic. Eventually, Titus agrees to meet them but insists on meeting alone with Candic first.

When Titus and Candic finally meet, it is an emotional moment for her. She has waited three years to meet the man she believes she is in love with and is anxious to finally put a face to the person she has been communicating with online. Titus, on his part, is hesitant and seems uneasy around the cameras.

Once the duo meets, Nev and Max arrive to find out that Titus is not who he said he was at all. They were able to identify Titus as someone who was related to Candic’s ex. The Catfish team tried to figure out why Titus deceived Candic and what his motivations were. They also help Candic cope with her disappointment and help her come to terms with the reality that the person that she had been speaking to was not who he claimed.

Throughout the episode, viewers watch as Candic and Titus confront each other about their deceptions and their emotions. The Catfish team try to mediate the conversation and help them get closure.
