In this episode, we explore what happens when the person you know and the person they become behind a screen seem impossible to reconcile. A pregnant woman accidentally discovers that her seemingly kind, gentle husband has a secret life as a vicious internet troll—using anonymous accounts to insult strangers, harass teenagers, and deliberately tear people down for his own amusement. The discovery forces her to reconsider the man she thought she knew and, with a daughter on the way, what his behavior might say about the person who will help raise their child. What begins with one browser left open becomes a much bigger question about anonymity, empathy, trust, and whether the way someone treats people when they think it doesn’t count might reveal something important about who they really are.
