A Dose of Deception
When Ivy met the man who would become her second husband, she thought she had found her soulmate, and for years, their marriage seemed to prove her right. But when his behavior suddenly shifts and he insists the problem is all in her head, Ivy begins questioning everything: her instincts, her confidence, and even her own mental health. As suspicious moments pile up and the people around her encourage her to give him the benefit of the doubt, Ivy is left searching for the proof her gut has been demanding all along.

Mackenzie Undercover: Taking out the Trash
This week on The Dating Detectives, Mackenzie is going undercover with a case that starts with nothing more than a wife’s gut feeling. After 16 years of marriage, Sarah notices her husband’s work dinners, overnight trips, and phone habits suddenly starting to change, so she quietly hires Mackenzie to find out where he’s really going. What begins as routine surveillance quickly turns into a full-blown mystery involving a secluded house, a suspicious coworker, some very questionable “client dinners,” and one of the most unconventional investigative methods Mackenzie has ever used. As each tiny clue starts connecting to the next, this case becomes a perfect reminder that sometimes your femmetuition knows something long before you have the evidence to prove it.Click here to join our Patreon!

The Case of the Missing Paychecks
After escaping a difficult first marriage, Emmy thought she knew exactly what red flags to look for, and when she met Noah, he seemed to be everything she had been missing: loving, dependable, devoted to his family, and just as committed to building a healthy relationship as she was. But as marriage, a new baby, cross-country moves, mysterious jobs, missing paychecks, and increasingly frequent work trips begin to pile up, small inconsistencies start turning into questions Emmy can’t shake. Then, one seemingly ordinary conversation cracks open a secret she never could have imagined, and suddenly she’s forced to question just how much of the life she built with her husband was ever real.

The Fake Fiancé
When Steph meets Logan through work, he seems perfect. He was charming, successful, financially stable, and someone she already knows and trusts long before their relationship turns romantic. Things move quickly from coworkers to serious partners, with road trips, family introductions, and wedding plans making it feel like everything has fallen perfectly into place. But as their future gets more real, small inconsistencies around money begin to snowball into questions Steph can’t ignore. This week, Mackenzie and Hanna follow a trail of financial red flags, missing answers, and increasingly elaborate explanations as Steph tries to figure out how well you can ever truly know someone—and what happens when your femmetuition starts screaming that something just isn’t adding up.Click here to join our Patreon!

The BYU Bandit: Part 2
The BYU Bandit is back for Part Two, and the story only gets wilder. As Courtney’s relationship with Riley becomes increasingly volatile, the lies grow bigger, the manipulation gets darker, and the queer resource center they’ve worked so hard to build begins raising some serious questions. But when Courtney finally starts comparing notes with the other women in Riley’s orbit, she realizes just how deep the deception goes—and that she may be far from the only person who has been caught in Riley’s web.

The BYU Bandit: Part 1
In Part One of this two-part story, Mackenzie and Hanna sit down with Courtney, whose journey from devout Mormon missionary to queer student at BYU leads her into an underground LGBTQ+ community, and into the orbit of its charismatic, chaotic leader. What begins as a story about coming out, leaving the church, and finding the people who finally make her feel understood quickly becomes a tangled web of love bombing, ex-fiancées, blurred boundaries, suspicious stories, and a relationship Courtney can never quite seem to escape. As Courtney and her friends turn their fight for acceptance into a movement, and begin raising money for a queer resource center, the stakes get much bigger, and the red flags become harder to ignore. Buckle up, Sleuthies, because this one is only getting started.Click here to join our Patreon!

The Trauma Bond
This week on The Dating Detectives, Mackenzie and Hanna sit down with Lauren, whose relationship with a charming, attentive man slowly transformed into a terrifying cycle of manipulation, abuse, apologies, and increasingly desperate attempts to leave. Lauren opens up about the trauma bond that kept pulling her back, the shame and confusion that can make leaving feel impossible, and what happened when the situation escalated far beyond a toxic relationship—eventually drawing the attention of the FBI and leading to a federal witness tampering case.
