If it did, it's probably for the best. Like, I'm good with fucking with Lucas in ways that are ultimately harmless, but luring him into situations where he could actually (and reasonably) end up killed is a bit far beyond what I'd find all that entertaining. Partially why I didn't really find the person who catfished him with a place to live + girlfriend while he was waiting for psych intake all that funny, like, ok, settle down there Satan, damn.
Never mind that if he DID show up in LA and get himself killed, it's reasonable that that could be traced back to the catfish and there's a decent chance they could end up in legal trouble over it.
BUT, it's Lucas, so he'll probably go just to see even in the face of overwhelming, "This is such an obvious catfish even a dumbfuck could see if if they took two seconds to think" evidence, because he'd spend the rest of his life beating himself up if he skipped out on it and there really was a delusional Zoomer who wanted to have his babies while also being his mom because lord knows he wouldn't get a job...and only Lucas would be delusional enough to think such a person will ever exist.
But, I mean, fuck's sake, I met someone on Tinder last January who lived in a city about 2 hours away because we hit it off and even I didn't show up to that alone (and neither did she), we both agreed to meet somewhere VERY public, I had a friend with me, she had a friend with her, we all hit it off and everything was fine but until you actually meet someone in person you can't say for sure that you know them or know that it's not a trick to lure you somewhere for god knows what.
The idea of flying to a different state when you're already homeless to move in with someone you haven't met, haven't spoken to outside of text (at least I assume), haven't at least had a video chat with (you know the shit he "requires" as proof, you KNOW he'd have posted that everywhere if it had happened), and literally someone who just sort of appeared and is EXACTLY what you've been screeching and begging for for almost a decade is...stupid. Dangerously stupid.
My guess is the catfish themselves didn't plan to harm him beyond humiliating him for getting catfished away from Spokane but there are more people than just a catfish in LA that would immediately put a bullet in Lucas' head if he started screeching about wanting to fuck a young girl in the streets.
Edit: I just realized, re-listening to the Weekly Wern episode where he's leaving sexy voicemails...
He says "hey baby" EXACTLY the way Butthead did.
Butthead:
Tell me that doesn't sound exactly like Lucas whenever he says "hey baby" in a creepy voicemail.
