This episode revolved around a con that takes advantage of a
vengeful, rich wife, a con called "The Congeve" (named after William Congreve, the man who penned the phrase
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"... It's paraphrased, but that's how everyone knows
it, anyway). The group pondered the possibility of conning a woman named Katherine Winterborn, a real "psycho
bitch", as Stacie put it. After Ash revealed that he's been secretly caring for his ex-wife and former
grifter, June (she use to play "The Flop" like Ash, but after one went wrong, she suffered from partial brain
damage). He's desperate for some money to provide some proper care for her so the group eventually decide to go through
with the risky, but profitable, Congreve.Hustle: Episode 4

While Stacie and Danny busied themselves with a
game of strip poker (which Danny easily lost), Mickey met Victor Maher, an ex-fraud squad man turned bank security head
and the person to ever catch Albert. Maher explained to Mickey that he had some footage of a young Danny when he used
to work as a look-out for some thieves. He used this as bait, luring Mickey into helping him catch a robber who has
been troubling his bank. Maher decided to use a con artist to catch the thief so he wanted Mickey to befriend the
robber, Sam Richards, and then help Maher catch him by accompanying Richards during the actual robbery. Despite
Albert's advice to stay away from Maher (because he's always one step ahead), Mickey agreed to save Danny (and his
ego).TV Squad Hot Topics
