📍Episode Summary:

In this premiere episode of What Had Happened Was, a simple brunch video goes from cute to catastrophic. When Alex, a regular guy just having fun online, accidentally goes viral, things spiral quickly. A skincare brand slides in with a deal, asking him to turn his anxiety into content—but one misstep during a live stream sends it all crashing down. In the end, Alex finds peace not in followers, but in the quiet that follows honesty.

This is a story about pressure, performance, and remembering who you were before the comments section had an opinion.
