Ep 7. Jeremiah & Linda

Jeremiah and Linda have been chatting online for over a year, and they have developed a deep connection. Linda is a widow, and Jeremiah's profile picture shows him in uniform, which convinces Linda that he is a military man and a man of honor. Linda is attracted to Jeremiah and feels they have a lot in common. They share a love for cooking and have talked about traveling the world together.

However, Jeremiah has never video chatted with Linda, and she is starting to get suspicious. Her children are worried that she is being catfished and want her to be careful. So Linda reaches out to Nev and Kamie from Catfish: The TV Show to investigate.

Nev and Kamie are intrigued by this case because the profile picture Jeremiah is using is of a real person; however, the person in the picture has no memory of speaking to Linda. They reach out to Jeremiah, and he is hesitant to talk to them. Jeremiah admits that he is not who he says he is and is afraid of what Linda will say or do when she finds out.

However, after Nev and Kamie explain to Jeremiah that he needs to come clean, he agrees to meet with them. Nev and Kamie sit down with Jeremiah, and he explains that he was in the military but never had the courage to tell Linda that he was not the person in the profile picture. He said that Linda was the first person in a long time that made him feel wanted, and he did not want to lose that connection.

Nev and Kamie help Jeremiah prepare to come clean to Linda in person. They also set up a special dinner for the two to meet. Linda is shocked to see that Jeremiah is not who he said he was, but she is impressed that he has taken the effort to meet her in person and explain himself. Linda is still upset that she was deceived, but she is happy that the two can move forward as friends.

Throughout the episode, Nev and Kamie also help Linda grapple with her feelings about being catfished. They want her to understand that it is not her fault and that people who catfish are often insecure and afraid to be honest about themselves. They also help her see that there is life beyond the person she thought she was talking to, and she should not give up on the possibility of finding love.

Overall, this episode of Catfish: The TV Show is a reminder of how people can be deceived online. However, it also shows that there is hope for people who have been catfished, and they can move on from these experiences with the help of supportive people. Nev and Kamie offer Linda the support she needs to process her feelings, and they help Jeremiah make amends for his actions. This episode is a must-see for anyone who has ever been catfished or knows someone who has.
