Ep 8. Giovanna & Dante

Giovanna and Dante have been friends for over ten years, but their relationship has recently taken a romantic turn. However, just as they were starting to get serious, Dante mysteriously disappears without a word. Giovanna is left confused and heartbroken, with no idea what happened to Dante and why he would ghost her.

In this episode of MTV's Ghosted: Love Gone Missing, hosts Travis Mills and Rachel Lindsay work with Giovanna to uncover the truth behind Dante's disappearance. They begin their investigation by talking to Giovanna's friends and family, who reveal that they were skeptical of Dante from the beginning due to his history of being unreliable and flaky. Despite this, Giovanna was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and trusted him to be different.

Travis and Rachel also reach out to Dante's friends and family, who paint a different picture of the situation. They reveal that Dante had been struggling with personal issues for months leading up to his disappearance, and had been avoiding everyone in his life. They speculate that his mental health may have played a role in his decision to ghost Giovanna.

As they continue their investigation, Travis and Rachel uncover more clues that point towards Dante's mental health being a factor. They talk to a therapist who specializes in ghosting, who explains that people who ghost often do so because they feel overwhelmed and don't know how to communicate their feelings or deal with conflict. The therapist suggests that Dante may have been struggling with anxiety or depression, which could have made it difficult for him to communicate with Giovanna.

Finally, Travis and Rachel are able to track Dante down and confront him about his disappearance. Dante opens up about his struggles with mental health, and admits that he ghosted Giovanna because he was afraid of how she would react to his issues. He had been dealing with anxiety and depression for months, and had isolated himself from everyone in his life as a result.

Giovanna is understandably hurt and upset by Dante's ghosting, but is willing to listen and understand his perspective. Travis and Rachel encourage both Giovanna and Dante to seek therapy and work on their individual issues before trying to pursue a romantic relationship again. The episode ends with a heartfelt conversation between Giovanna and Dante, as they try to rebuild their friendship and work towards a better future.

Throughout the episode, Travis and Rachel provide support and empathy for Giovanna and Dante, and offer helpful advice for anyone who may be struggling with similar situations. The episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of communication and mental health awareness, and provides a hopeful ending for two friends who were able to overcome a difficult situation.
