In this episode of Catfish: Trolls, we meet Ciera, a young woman from Indiana who is ready to confront the person who has been catfishing her for years. The person in question is someone she knows as Eskimo Jay, a man who she met online when she was just 14 years old. Over the years, Ciera and Eskimo Jay have developed a close relationship, talking on the phone regularly and even exchanging gifts.
However, despite their closeness, Ciera has never actually met Eskimo Jay in person. In fact, every time she has tried to make plans to meet him, something has always come up. Ciera is starting to suspect that something is not right and decides to reach out to Nev and Kamie for help.
After some initial digging, the duo are able to track down Eskimo Jay and set up a meeting between him and Ciera. However, when they finally come face to face with him, the outcome is not what anyone was expecting. Eskimo Jay is not the person Ciera had been talking to all these years, but instead a group of friends who had been using his pictures to catfish her.
Nev and Kamie soon discover that the group of friends had actually been catfishing Ciera as a twisted game, trying to see how long they could keep the ruse going. They had even gone as far as to create fake social media profiles for Eskimo Jay's friends and family members to make the whole thing seem more believable.
Ciera is understandably devastated by the news, feeling like she has been played for a fool all these years. However, things take an even darker turn when Eskimo Jay's friends reveal that they have been sharing all of the information Ciera has been sharing with them, including personal details about her life and photos she had sent them.
Nev and Kamie are able to get through to the group of friends and make them understand just how much damage they have caused. They help them see the error of their ways and encourage them to reach out to Ciera to apologize.
After some time has passed, Ciera agrees to meet with one of the people who had been pretending to be Eskimo Jay all these years. The two have a difficult conversation, but ultimately the person is able to apologize and take responsibility for their actions.
