I have watched this episode a few times. Being a 'fan' of this series there are a few episodes that are pretty watchable. On the whole it is mostly watchable in amazement of the stupidity of the people who did the things they did, however not this guy. The story that this person tells is a bit different and you have to really have empathy for what he says he went through - by his account it was none of his own making.
What is most interesting about this episode is the possible scenarios to how things turned out for him. There are four that the guy comes up with. Three of them are nice on her but far too naive. Personally, I am inclined to believe his fourth and unfotunately his worst case scenario, where the girl used him as part of a larger plan. Whilst it seems almost totally plausible, the only thing that does not make sense / explained is who would have benefitted from her setting him up?
I just say one thing about how the guy says he got caught. In the airport after being cleared, the 'touched on the back' and "hey thats your plane" from the baggage security check guy (that gets him caught) would have prompted me to do a 180 and knock him spark out just for his sly behaviour. Not that I would ever be inbthat position in the first place but like I say, you have you feel for the guy.
The girl in question who sets him up seemed well dodgy. Married at 17 and already doing multiple lines of cocaine a day...at 17. That should have been a major red flag when the subject of her doing a mule trip to Peru came up.
Really good episode and well worth watching and with a happy ending for the guy.
Advice: do not agree to go on holidays like this, no matter how good looking!
