Jennifer has had a troubled past, having been abused by her ex-husband and suffering from anxiety and depression.
Shortly after starting her new job, Jennifer begins receiving messages from a mysterious man who claims to be a regular customer at the diner. At first, the messages seem harmless, just compliments on her appearance and general small talk. However, as time goes on, the messages become more frequent and increasingly suggestive.
Jennifer becomes uncomfortable and tries to ignore the messages, but they continue to escalate. The man begins sending explicit photos and videos, and even shows up at the diner to try and talk to her in person. Jennifer starts to fear for her safety and confides in her co-worker, who urges her to go to the police.
As Jennifer seeks help from the authorities, she also begins to uncover more information about the man behind the messages. She discovers that he has a history of stalking and harassment, and has even been arrested in the past for similar behavior.

Help Wanted is a gripping episode that shines a light on the dangers of online harassment and stalking. Jennifer's experience is all too common, and serves as a chilling reminder of the very real threat that these types of behaviors pose to women and vulnerable individuals. The episode is a powerful depiction of the trauma and fear that can be caused by obsessive and dangerous behavior, and offers an important cautionary tale for viewers.
