On the new episode of "Eye Candy," MTV's new crime thriller starring Victoria Justice, Lindy Sampson is starting to narrow down which of her online dating matches is a serial killer in disguise.

The first episode ended with a heartbreaking twist, as Lindy's on-again-off-again cop boyfriend, Ben, was murdered in cold blood by the elusive cyber killer.

Now, Lindy has to recover from this emotional trauma, while dealing with an elusive murderer with eyes set on her. If you need to be caught up on the story, check out our recap of the Pilot episode.

Check out the chilling sneak peak for Episode 2, which reveals more about the obsessive killer's disturbing trigger: perfection. It's also the opening scene of this week's episode. One hell of a way to kick it off.

Unfortunately, as we hear more of the voice over from the creepy stalker dude, he seems to really, really like Lindy. Like in a "I killed your boyfriend so I can get closer to you" kind of way.

And as Lindy grieves, she takes out her stress and pain to the club, where she gets super drunk and macks on one of the hunks she met on the dating site, Flirtual.

Thankfully, her trusty friends are near by--but c'mon, Lindy can take care of herself. She's on the hunt for the killer.

But as Lindy gets word from detective Tommy of the lady who's face was melted off with acid, she has to bail on cyber creep. Possibly for the best.

"Looks like your obsession with finding Ben's killer is messing with our surveillance," Tommy said. And Lindy gives zero f***s. And the Twitter account for 'Eye Candy' detects some serious sexual tension.

Back at her apartment, Lindy has an intervention.

Her friend's like, "romancing a murderer is not exactly a good idea," but Lindy blames herself for Ben's death, so all of her ideas are wicked whack as she copes with that belief.

The vibe is definitely leaning toward a whole Lindy-stop-really-stalking-cyber-stalkers kind of vibe.

So Lindy goes to get a coffee, and meets an NYPD Sergeant who's a little annoyed with Lindy's freelance investigation. But "I won't stop you, I want to help you," the Sergeant says.

While Lindy is super sassy and not in the mood, the Sergeant offers her department resources to help her find her sister. And THAT catches her attention.

Meanwhile, cyber stalking is stalking...

So Lindy is going on a date with sexy Australian man, who happens to know where she lives. Weird, or romantic? And evidently, he's cooking her dinner tonight.

She's super suspicious, obviously, but her friends show up in the nick of time to eat with them. While the date was weird, it went alright, and Australia man went home in a cab.

Then BOOM, Tommy comes out of the bushes, telling Lindy to go away again because Australia man's alibi is air tight.

but Lindy has other things--like solving a murder--on her mind. So breaks into the city's security system with a friend, and later approaches the Sargeant, thinking Australia man's alibi is fake.
