About this episode
Part Two of Claudia’s saga is a tangle of exes, receipts, and survival. As she builds a new life with Amber, a DM from Melissa’s ex, Taylor, detonates everything—revealing a secret alliance with Amber’s ex Kayla, alleged surveillance, financial doxxing, and the chilling photo of Claudia’s child sleeping on a mattress in a closet. We follow Claudia into court, through “defensive parenting,” and onto TikTok where a web of past partners surfaces a pattern of control; veganism-as-control, forced tattoos, baby pressure, and love-bombing wrapped in “toxic positivity.” Trigger warning: child endangerment and abuse are discussed.
