It's been over four months since we got to enjoy the old pastime of watching people learn they've been catfished—and then experience a dramatic encounter with their catfishers. But thankfully, a new season of Catfish is back to break up the drudge of work after the holidays, and it sounds like it will not disappoint.

In the above teaser for Wednesday night's season 7 premiere, a woman named Sheklia's son emails Nev and Max out of concern that his mom is being catfished. It's the typical situation—she's been talking to a guy online, but he seems to be avoiding meeting in person. But there's a catch: In a second teaser, below, Sheklia admits that she's been using a fake profile. According to MTV's description of the episode, "Sheklia reveals that she is keeping a huge secret from her son." Could the victim of this episode's catfisher also be a catfish herself?

Season 7 will be unique in that viewers will get a glimpse into Nev's home and family life, according to Fox 4 Now. On top of that, each episode will feature not only the big catfish reveal but also "an explosive second admission." We think we know what that'll be tonight.
