We would talk for hours,
but her and her husband do still live together.
He would be like, "So, like, yeah, you know,
she's carrying my baby."
- She's pregnant? - What?
- This might be the most insane catfish situation
we've ever seen.
Oh, God, we got hits.
- Everywhere.
- You got to be really [bleep] up
to play with somebody's mind.
- I'm getting some seriously bad vibes about this.
- Oh, Lord.
[door creaks]
[dramatic musical sting]
- Good morning. - [groans]
I had a giant cockroach in my room last night.
- Here? - Yeah.
- No, don't say that.
- What-- - It was a cockroach, for real?
- Yeah. Once and a while, you get one.
- No, no, no.
No.
Yeah, I don't know if I'm really--Ah!
[bleep]! Bitch. - [laughing]
- You are so disgusting!
I hate you!

It's our friend. - [shouts]
That was horrible.

in my room last night.

- How long have you been living in San Antonio?
If we come to San Antonio,
are you gonna be able to take a little bit of time
from your grandparents to meet with us
so that we can see if we can figure this out?
- There's always more. - There's always something.

- What's up? - Oh.
- Hello. - Good to meet you. I'm Kamie.
- I know. - Nice to meet you.
- Let's get inside before I start perspiring.
- Yeah, melt in here, 'cause this is--
San Antonio heat is different than...
- It's hot. - It is.
- My kind of living room. - Oh, yeah.
[both grunting]
- Why are you kicked back like this?
You get way too comfortable. - He's comfortable.
- I mean, I'm blocking out all other distractions.
- Blocking out the haters.
- I just want to listen and absorb...
- Positive energy. - Yes.
- Everything I can about you and your story.
- Okay. - So...
- Start from the beginning. - Go ahead.
- So, when I moved to San Antonio,
you know, just taking care of my grandparents,
it was gonna be hard to just meet people,
so I created a dating app on POF,
and that's when Sharon actually reached out to me.
And then I asked her, "Oh, so do you have kids?"
She's like, "Yeah, I have two."
And then I said, "Okay, so what do you do for a living?"
She was like, "Hey, I actually have to be honest."
Same day, she was like, "I'm actually, like, a stripper."
Like, she's forthcoming. Like, I like that.
Like, you're being honest,
you're giving me that opportunity
before my feelings get involved.
That's what kind of drew me to her, too.
And then our conversations.
Austin is, from San Antonio, not that far.
And I was like, "Hey, like, I'll come to Austin," you know?
Like, it's only like an hour drive.
She's like, "Okay, cool."
So then she slipped on some glass
and broke her foot.
I was like, "Okay, like, damn, I'm sorry.
Like, I hope you feel better."
- I mean, this girl's using every excuse in the book.
- Yeah.
- In the email, you mentioned you've tried
to meet up a bunch, though.
- Yes, but she would jump down my throat.
"You know my situation."
'Cause at this time, I had just found out
her and her husband do still live together,
which is the father of her children.
They're not divorced yet.
- What? - Yeah, this is a lot.
A lot has transpired.
I just don't know where to start.
- Wait. - Hold on a second.
So Sharon... - Sharon...
- Still lives... - With her husband.
- With her husband and the father of her children.
- Yeah, so she was telling me that she had told her husband,
you know, "I don't want to be with you.
Like, I really want to be with her."
So she called me and was like, "Hey."
Lorenzo's his name.
She was like, "Hey, Lorenzo wants to talk to you."
Like, you want to talk and meet the person
who's going to be around your kids.
- Right. - So I was like, "Okay, cool."
So, okay, I sent him a text message,
like, "Hey, it's Angel. Call me when you can."
He said, "I don't talk on the phone to people I don't know."
Okay, whatever. So what do you want to talk about?
So then we go into this conversation,
and he was just like, "So how did y'all meet?"
- This is all via text?
- All via text. And he started cussing me out.
"Eff you." Like, "That's my wife."
This, this, and that.
So he was going, so I would jump.
He would say something, I would jump.
And he was just like, "Well, I got goons for that."
Like, this, this, that, and the other.
I said, "That's fine." - Goons?
- Oh, and then he would be like,
"So, like, yeah, you know she's carrying my baby."
I'm like, cool, bro. Congratulations.
- Oh, she's--she's pregnant?
- [breathes deeply] - [chuckles]
- Let me stop you for a second.
- [laughs]
I think we both have the same question.
- What is it that you like about this person?
- It was--
- Because so far in your description
of your relationship, it's been nothing but drama
and problems... - Chaos.
- And chaos.
- To me, communication and conversation is everything.
Like, we talked for hours and just laugh.
- What kind of stuff are you guys vibing on?
- Basically her past life.
She said she struggled with drugs.
I struggled with drugs. I'm a recovering addict, so...
Being in, like, physically abusive, mentally abusive,
emotionally abusive relationships,
I've been there.
It was basically our past that we related on.
So it started with, like, having a bond over that.
And then it flourished into a friendship,
and then, you know, like, then love came.
- Where is the relationship now?
- Uh...
she blocked me.
After I had sent the email... - To us.
- I did tell her I did reach out to the show,
and she got mad and thought that I was the police...
trying to set her up because she had warrants.
- Yeah, there was a lot left to tell us.
- And what about social media? Have you guys connected?
- She doesn't have social media.
- At all? - None.
- Just Plenty of Fish? - No Instagram, no Facebook,
no Snapchat, no Twitter.
- Unusual. So what can you show us?
[dramatic music]
- Is this her? - That's Sharon.
Sharon is cute. Look at those lashes.
- I know, I love.
- Oh. - This is the foot.
- That's the foot. - The toes are light-skinned.
She's brown.
Why are the toes light?
- See, to me, I was like,
"Okay, well, I don't show my feet,
so maybe my feet are pretty white."
- Let me see your feet.
- My feet are pretty white.
- Hmm, no. - No.
They look like they could be brown.
- They're brown. Is this her?
- No. - Yeah.
- That's not her. - Yes, it is.
- No, it's not.
- Who is that? - That's not her!
- Those are the pics she's saying that's her.
- You mean that's not the same girl
in the other pictures? - That's not the same girl.
That girl is Latina.
That's not her either. - But, Kamie--
- That's supposed to be her? - Oh, yeah.
You know, she just had a baby.
So you know, your face kind of swells up, you know?
- So what about... - Yeah, Kamie.
- When did she transition
from being a brown-skinned Black girl
to being Latina?
- [laughs] - Look, I'll be honest.
When I got catfished, it wasn't until after
that I realized that I had been sent pictures
of two different girls.
I was like, "Oh, yeah, maybe these were older, whatever."
So I can see how your brain can...
- Thank you.
- Very easily, like, make things make sense.
Okay, overwhelmingly, you still feel
enough interest... - Enough feeling, yeah.
- And love for her that you continue to want to press on
and get through whatever it is you have to get through.
- Figure out the truth. Figure out, like, who you are.
- Right.
- Like, who have I been talking to?
Who have I been telling good night, good morning to
every day? - All right, so, look.
Clearly we've got our work cut out for us.
- Mm.
- Let us do some research.
Send us an email with everything you've got,
and we'll have some, hopefully, updates for you tomorrow.
- Got ya.
- All right, bring it in, everyone.
- The guardian angels are in town.
- Thank you, guys.
Bye, y'all have a good one. - It's fine.
- Thanks, see you. - [scoffs]
Oh, boy.
- This is...
- Are you strapped in? I need to...
- Wow. - Tighten this up.
I mean, the three different girls' pics?
- We are dealing with a major...
- She's getting catfished. - Something.
This might be the most absurd,
insane catfish situation we've ever seen.
- Ladies first.
- Well, it's not a door. - [laughs]
- Look at this. This is lovely.
- Oh, it has a heart.
- Beautiful. - Wow.
Great way to start the morning.
Now just put a little break in the middle.
[imitates cracking] That's gonna be Angel.
- All right.
Angel recently moves to San Antonio
to help take care of her grandparents,
decides, you know, I'm gonna get on a dating app.
Day one, gets a message from Sharon.
They hit it off.
Within weeks, they're in love.
That's when the drama starts. - Mm-hmm.
- Turns out, Sharon's hard to wrangle.
She's not that far away, but she can't meet up.
When they were gonna meet up, she slipped on glass
and broke her foot.
Why would she send a picture
of a white person's foot? - Yeah.
- And then there was just the whole drama
with the ex, Lorenzo, who's not even an ex yet.
They're still technically married...
- And living together. - And live together.
- Mm-hmm.
- She also might be pregnant again.
- Yeah, because I don't believe any of it,
it all just feels malicious and mean.
- Yeah, let's see what Angel sent.
"Hey, Nev and Kamie.
Attached are some of the pictures that Sharon sent me."
Sharon's phone number and Lorenzo's phone number.
- Let's start with the pictures.
- All right.
- Sharon's been using multiple girls here,
so let's get hunting.
- Right. Should we start with this one?
Oh. Oh, God. We got hits.
- Everywhere. - Yeah.
Tons of pictures of this person.
Let's see, who is she? - Ella Washington. Boom.
- Okay, so we found her, easy.
- Definitely not Sharon.
One down. - Yeah.
- 20 more to go.
- Let's try a different picture.
- That's not the same girl.
That girl is, like, Colombian or something.
That girl is Black,
- This girl is not the same either.
- I don't think so. - Okay, what do we got?
Whoa, okay.
Martina Vasquez.
Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.
- Mm-hmm. I mean...
- Wow.
- Look at the main title. - Yeah.
- "Beautiful Latinas on Insta."
Latina.
Okay, next.
- Okay, it looks like we got a hit.
- Look, you can see the whole shot of her.
- Oh. That's something. - Mm, mm.
It's a third girl.
- She's crazy. - Yeah.
- All right, so we got to search this cast photo.
I'm dying to see if it comes up.
Oh--[scoffs] - [gasps]
- Unbelievable. It comes up everywhere.
- Everywhere. - Wow.
is proves every photo sent to Angel,
including the one of her "broken foot,"
is just from Pinterest or Google or whatever.
- Right.
- What possible explanation would you have
to send different photos of different girls
rather than just downloading ten pictures of the same girl
and sending those?
All right, so let's go back to the email.
Let's get the phone number now and see if we can figure out
who the hell Sharon actually is.
All right, search by phone.
Enter the number. Search.
- Wow, there's no name?
Why does it say "high search volume"?
- What?
- I've never seen that before.
- That's weird. You're right. I've never seen that either.
- What does that mean?
- Like, a lot of people are searching this number?
Arkansas.
Why does she have an Arkansas phone number?
- But it's a mobile number. - It is a mobile number.
We should look up Lorenzo's phone number.
I'm willing to bet that Sharon and Lorenzo
are the same person. - It's one big, grand lie.
- Okay, potential owner. - Texas.
- Oh, this says it's a landline.
- But it came back as Texas.
- Okay, so it's at least a Texas area code.
But it looks like it's probably just a text app number.
- I think--yeah. - Right.
Because she didn't talk to him on the phone.
He just texted her, right? - Mm-hmm.
- All right, hold on. You know what we haven't done yet?
Cash App.
All right, let's go to Cash App.
She's got one. - RuKiya?
- RuKiya, so not Sharon.
Not even kind of Sharon.
- Not even kind of any of the people that came up.
- All right, let's look up her Cash App username.
LovelyKi499.
She probably uses that... - She does.
- Somewhere else.
LovelyKi499.
- Hmm. - That's got to be her.
- Wow. - What is this?
- Two kids. [gasps]
- I feel like the fact that her username
is LovelyKi49, and then on Cash App it's LovelyKi499,
it's, like, pretty close.
- Did it say RuKiya in the name?
- Up here? No. - Mm-hmm.
- It doesn't, but I wonder if she's following Angel.
No, she's not following her.
But I think this could be Sharon.
- I mean, it's not an exact match.
- It's pretty close.
But the Cash App, to me, feels like a solid clue.
RuKiya is a liar. - RuKiya's a liar.
I'm exhausted by this.
The fact that Angel is not exhausted by this
is baffling to me.
- Yeah, she's enraptured.
- All right, so we've got a lot to talk about with Angel.
What do we got? We know that Sharon--
she's not the girl in the pictures.
- And we've confirmed, she's three different women.
- Right. Phone number comes back on Cash App
to RuKiya or Kiya. - Mm-hmm.
- It'd be one thing to find that the pictures
were just of a different girl,
but the fact that they're all of different girls.
The foot's not her foot.
I mean, nothing. - It's so wildly disrespectful.
- All right.
Ready? Let's go. [car bell chimes]
[dramatic music]
Hello. - Hi.
- Wow. - You look great.
- Thank you, thank you. - All right, have a seat.
- All right. - How you feeling today?
- I'm anxious. I'm nervous.
- All right, well, should we just get into it?
We'll walk you through our process
- Whoo! Yeah.
- You ready? - Yes.
- First thing we did was we just ran the photos.
Okay, now, this one is one of the hits we got,
where it's very clear that this is a Latina.
- Mm-hmm.
- So then when we searched this picture,
the main pic you have of her, we got some more hits.
Sure enough, here is an Instagram account
for the girl, but her name's not Sharon.
This person, her name is Ella Washington.
♪ ♪
- As you can see, there's plenty of pictures
of this girl on Insta.
Then we even found a third girl.
So, if the person that you're talking to
is sending you pictures of a bunch of different people,
it's kind of [bleep] up
because they're not even doing a good job
at trying to prove that they're one particular person.
- That's it. [sighs, groans]
Why even go to, like, this extent to even fool somebody?
Like, and then for me to open up to you
and tell you certain things--
like, you shouldn't play with somebody who's dealt with a lot
and been through a lot-- like, you don't do that.
That's [bleep] up in so many ways.
- Right, I mean, you guys connected
because of a shared trauma and negative experiences
in your lives. - [grunts] Yeah.
- And then to just keep sending you pictures
of different girls-- it's insulting,
and it's [bleep] up. - It really is.
People are [bleep] up.
[sommu
- Well, it doesn't even stop there,
because we thought, "Okay, if she's not the girl
"in the pictures,
surely she must be the girl with the broken foot, right?"
'Cause why would she send you a picture
of a white person's foot, all right?
So we Googled the foot picture, and guess what.
It's just a picture off the Internet.
- Oh, God. - Not even her broken foot,
which means she probably didn't break her foot.
So that's bull[bleep].
♪ ♪
- Are you okay?
- It's, like, tears of anger.
Oh, man. [sniffles]
So what else did you find? [scoffs]
- Oh, we moved on to the phone numbers.
Initially, we didn't find anything.
But the first thing that popped up that was interesting
was that the area code for the number you have for her
is for Arkansas-- Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Has she ever talked about Arkansas?
- Mm-mm.
- Okay, so that's just kind of weird
that it's an Arkansas number.
Then we ran Lorenzo's number. - Mm-hmm.
And that came up pretty much looking like a text app number
'cause it shows up as a landline.
Then we went to Cash App,
and when we searched Sharon's number
and went to, like, send her payment,
this came up. - RuKiya?
- RuKiya, RuKaya.
But not Sharon.
Do you know someone who goes by Kiya or Kaya?
- Not in my personal life, no.
- All right, okay.
So then we started searching for RuKiya.
The closest we got to this username,
LovelyKy499, was this account,
which is LovelyKi49.
Seemed pretty similar. - Mm-hmm.
- You don't know this person, do you?
- No.
- We checked to see if they were following you,
and they're not. - We don't know if this is her.
But this was the closest we got to sort of using her name
or sort of username or Cash App name to find someone.
But we don't know where this person is,
and it doesn't have their name on it,
so, like, we couldn't find her anywhere else.
So here's where we are,
which is kind of a confusing spot.
Look, we know, unfortunately... - She's not a real person.
- Well, we know that a lot of what Sharon has told you,
or at least shown you, is false.

Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Why don't you come on out?
- Do you know who that is?
- No. - I'll introduce you.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Are you who I've been texting?
- Yeah.
- And are you who Angel's been talking to
this whole time? - Yeah.
- And what's your name?
- Kiya. - Do you also go by RuKaya?
Or RuKiya? - Yeah.
- Okay, well, this is Kamie.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.
- Nev. We didn't formally meet. - Yeah.
- Hello.
- And this is Angel.
- We're all, I think, a little confused...
and annoyed... - Yeah.
- About what's been going on and trying to figure out
why this has all gone down like this.
- Um...
I mean, I came out and told you everything, Angel.
You've known everything
when you reached out to "Catfish."
- I came out and told you the whole truth.
- You told me what you wanted to tell me.
Doesn't mean I believe it. - So wait a second.
What did she tell you already?
- When I reached out to the show, she came clean.
She was like, "I haven't been saying who I was saying I was."
I said, "Okay. I don't believe anything that you say.
"And you can't get mad at me
"for not believing anything that you say.
You can't get mad that I reached out to the show."
- Hold on, I'm confused. - I'm very confused.
- When you guys met, it was on a dating site?
- Yes, and it was the real picture of me.
- Okay.
- I just had one picture of myself on there.
- Is that true?
- She had one picture, and I said,
"What's up with the picture? Why is it blurry?"
- Okay. - So she sent me three more.
- Of the three different girls?
- Yeah. - This is ridiculous.
- So who-- - When we...
- This is ridiculous. - Showed you the Cash App
with RuKiya's name, you didn't say anything.
- It wasn't like that.
- 'Cause she didn't tell me that was her name.
- We even FaceTimed before. - Wait a second, hold on.
Did you FaceTime with her?
- Yeah. Yeah. - No!
- How is there a misunderstanding?
- She FaceTimed me, but I never saw her face.
- That's why I said it was too dark.
- It was dark. It was black. - She couldn't see my face.
- Is that because you were hiding it?
'Cause you sent her three different pictures.
- Yeah. - Oh, boy.
So what about the other day when we called you
and Nev said I'm calling to speak to Sharon?
You said that was you, instead of just saying,
"No, this is Kiya." Why didn't you just do that?
- I guess I just--I don't know. It was--
When she called "Catfish," I mean,
it did scare me at first.
Like, you know, it put me in a panic.
- I'm not even sure what to believe anymore.
- I didn't want to do all of this.
- But you kept the lies on.
- I'm not gonna do this,
because she's not being honest with you guys.
- Don't come here and act-- - I'm not doing this.
Goodbye. - Why the [bleep]--bye.
- Goodbye. I'm not doing this [bleep].
- Let me just see if I can talk to her.

- Hi. - Hey.
- [stammers] I don't know what's going on.
I don't know if you think we know what's going on,
but we don't. - I ow you don't.
- Okay, so I'm just trying to figure this all out.
- Okay, so I made the POF account,
I mean, out of boredom, okay?
- Sure. But it was for you.
- It was me. It wasn't a fake account or anything.
I mean, I just didn't use my real name.
- Okay.
- I mean, a lot of people don't use their real names...
- Or location. - On those kinds--
Yeah, or location.
- So she tried-- I'm not gonna lie,
she did try to come clean,
but she's never told me her name.
- But the lie was continuing when we called her on the phone
and she said that she was in Tulsa, her name was Sharon.
Like, that could've also been another opportunity
to be honest and say, "I'm not Sharon."
- That's what I'm saying.
Like, you can't tell me that I know everything
if you've been telling me a lie from the jump.
That's what I've been trying to get her to understand.
- So my insecurities...
I started making up things about myself.
- Okay.
- I told her that I was a stripper.
I told her that I had a husband named Lorenzo.
- And then you sent her--
eventually you did send her a picture
of other women. - Yes.
- I honestly can't-- I don't know what to believe
because she lied so easily over the phone,
and it's hard for me to come back from that,
so I'm trying to hear her out also.
But it is difficult for me.
I mean, hopefully she comes back out.
- Why then have us fly to Tulsa?
Say you're in Tulsa when you're not?
- I guess I just needed time.
Everything was just happening all at once.
- Well, I think she just didn't tell us everything
because she wasn't sure if she should
because she didn't know if it was true or not.
- Uh-huh.
- So she feels like you're calling her a liar,
when, for the most part, in this situation,
you're the one who's been lying.
- Mm-hmm.
- Hey, guys.
So, if you're willing,
I think we have a more neutral territory.
- Yeah, that's where we're at.
- If you want to come back outside?
- Yeah, I do. - Let's all go back outside.
- But nobody's stepping to anybody.
Everybody's gonna be... - Okay.
- Relaxed. - I apologize for that.

- Okay, there's obviously some crossed wires here.
Let's just go down the checklist
just to make sure you are fully aware
of what is and isn't true.
You live in Arkansas and only Arkansas.
You have two children. - Yes.
- Are you pregnant now? - No.
- That was--
- You didn't break your foot. - No.
- You're not married. - No.
- Right, substance abuse.
- No, no. - Mm.
- But you did tell her that that was something
you had struggled with.
- Mm-hmm. You know I was a drug addict, though, right?
- I know all of that. - So why tell me that lie?
- I don't know. I can't answer that.
- Okay.
- Like, coming from a former drug--
- Okay, Angel, I'm sorry.
- All right, if you just gonna cut me off.
Like, first off-- - I always listen to you.
That's why you're blocked. - I know, but look--
- I'm always listening to her. - Okay, but don't cut me off.
When I'm a recovering drug addict, dude,
you don't lie about that.
- Are you gonna still raise your voice?
'Cause I can go back inside. I'm not doing this. I'm calm.
I'm answering every question you guys are asking me.
- Okay, well, that's a slap in the face
because I related to you on a whole nother level.
- Okay, anyways, Nev and Kamie,
anything else you guys want to ask me?
- Well, I think, as someone who has never dealt
with any substance abuse myself,
I can still kind of understand where Angel is coming from.
Conversations about drugs are triggering for Angel.
- Mm-hmm. - Even though she seems to be--
- And I had that conversation with you.
Told you I would help you get clean.
- So I know that there's still
a lot of emotional conflict happening in each of you
and with each other right now.
I think there's a lot more to unpack
that neither of you are ready for today.
It's too raw, so why don't we call it a day?
All get some rest, meet back up tomorrow,
if that works,
and have a new conversation
having had some time to just settle down from all this.
Work for you? - Yeah, absolutely.
- Great.
All right, we will be in touch. - We'll see you tomorrow.
- Oh, boy.
- Why lie? Told her I understand, you know,
drug addiction, and I'll help you get clean.
So, for me to even put myself in that situation--
- Did she share that after or before
you told her that you struggled with this?
- After.
- That's even more [bleep] up, in my opinion.
- For me, the question we never got an answer for is,
what does she want?
Does she like you?
Do you care whether or not she actually has feelings for you?
- I don't know.

- [sighs] - How you feeling today?
- I feel a lot better today.
I mean, I know there's still, like, some things
to, you know, discuss.
First, I do want to apologize
for lying about the drug problem.
I feel really bad, you know,
for lying about that,
and I apologize.
I just never should've did that.
You know, I should've just...
been honest about everything with you
- It's okay.
- I guess it was just my insecurities.
I felt like if I just told you, like,
how I'm at home with my kids
and, you know, I'm really not a stripper--
like, it's been so long since I've stripped--
like, if, you know, if I came out and told you
the real truth about me,
I just didn't think you would still keep talking to me.
- Wait, so were you a stripper?
- Yes, I actually did used to be a stripper.
- Oh. - Yeah.
- Well, that's why I feel like we've heard a lot
about make-believe people,
but we haven't heard a lot about you
or your life, what you do.
- Okay, well, I am from here, Fort Smith, Arkansas.
When I turned 18, ard stripping.
The first time that I stripped,
I was actually pregnant with my daughter,
and I didn't know it.
So, after I had her--she was maybe about six months--
I went back, and I stripped again.
But I didn't do it that long, maybe for about a month.
And then, you know, I got pregnant with my son,
and, I mean, from then on,
like, I've been in abusive relationships.
Like, you know, Lorenzo,
you know, obviously he was fake.
But I have has exes who are Lorenzo.
- Mm. - You know, if you get--
You understand... - Yeah, I get it.
- What I'm saying when I say that?
- Since we're on the subject of Lorenzo,
when Lorenzo texted Angel,
that was just you, right? - Yes.
- Did you have a plan with any of that?
- You know, I used Lorenzo as an excuse
on why we couldn't see each other.
But it was stupid of me
to just, like, keep that going like that.
It was just a way of me trying to express to her my past.
But, I mean, she still stuck around.
That's what made me fall for her.
'Cause she just still stuck around through all of that.
You don't find people like that.
And I'm just--I hate that I just wasn't honest.
I should've just came and told you everything,
even before you called, you know, "Catfish."
- I do want to apologize as well.
I wasn't proud about my behavior.
I wasn't proud about the things that I said.
I feel like I have to take some responsibility,
'cause those pictures you were sending,
the face wasn't what I was looking at.
I felt like, you know,
I'm just as guilty 'cause I was...
- You saw what you wanted to see.
- Yeah. I saw what I wanted to see.
But whether you were Sharon or Kiya,
whoever you are, that doesn't change
the long talks we've had.
- My feelings are still there for you,
and I still love you, and I do want to be with you.
- I will say this.
I do want to walk out of this house as friends,
and we can go from there.
- I mean, obviously, I think Kiya was hoping
for more than a friend. - I am.
- But...
- And you know what? I'm just gonna be honest here.
I don't like that friend word.
I know it's gonna take time,
but I'm just not gonna wait around forever
for you to gain your trust back with me.
- I just want to point that out.
- I can respect that.
- You have to just-- I don't know--
just tell me what you really want from me.
- I'm unsure. - Okay.
- That's why I said we got to start at a friendship.
- Give it a little time, see how it feels,
and I think you'll both know pretty quickly,
as long as you're being real and honest with each other,
if it's a fit.
[sighs] Well, you want to walk us out?
