Catfish: The TV Show

Kiana is certain that her wife is being catfished by a woman who pretends to be her sister. To verify the claim, Nev and Kamie conduct the first DNA test ever used in Catfish history, aiming to reveal the truth.

Sparkayla & Maritha is a programme that airs as a single episode, fitting neatly into the show’s overall format. As an episode‑type entry, it presents a self‑contained story while retaining the series’ familiar style. The focus is on a particular set of characters and a situation that unfolds over the course of the broadcast, giving viewers a concise, stand‑alone narrative. In this instalment, Kiana becomes convinced that her wife is falling victim to a cat‑fishing scheme. She believes a girl who is presenting herself as her sister is actually a fraud, and the deception is causing Kiana real concern. To get to the bottom of the matter, Nev and Kamie step in and carry out what is billed as the first DNA test ever used in Catfish history, hoping the scientific evidence will reveal the truth behind the alleged sister. The DNA analysis marks an unprecedented move for the series, introducing a new, forensic‑style tool to its investigative arsenal. By comparing genetic material, the test is intended to confirm whether the woman claiming to be the sister is genuine or a fabricated identity, thereby providing a definitive answer to Kiana’s suspicions. This pioneering approach underscores the episode’s aim of uncovering the real story behind the alleged deception.
