This week, Charlie finds herself in cahoots with a gang of good-natured con-artists, led by a guy called Guy (John Cho). Charlie is particularly drawn to the ‘muscle’, Manny (Joel Marsh Garland).
After Charlie finds out about the consequences of a con played on charity worker Regina Gilvary (Melanie Lynskey), her misgivings grow, but when a sketchy mark (Brendan Sexton III) shows up, Guy tries to pull her in to one last gig.
This episode was directed by Mimi Cave. The writer was Megan Amram.
