As the team wraps up an ingenious con featuring Emma as pop princess Kylie Minogue, Albert is busy priming the next unsuspecting mark: former banker Piggy Richardson, who has been hounded by the press after a public pension scandal. When Albert introduces himself as a headhunter for the Western Bank of California and paints a very pleasant picture of what life could be like away from the glare of the media, Piggy is keen to meet Mickey, who is posing as a currency specialist with a PhD in Economics.

Episode 2

Albert has decided it's time for a break so he's off to Sin City to try his luck at the casinos, leaving the crew to fend for themselves in his absence, as the drama about a team of con artists continues. At the airport, seeing Albert off, the team is greeted by a familiar face, "Liability" Finch, a bumbling, ex-grifter mate of Ash's from back in the day. Finch seems to be in a spot of bother with a certain Head of Customs, Clifford Davis, who rightly believes that Finch is behind the theft of a valuable "Van Gogh".

Episode 3

Albert is in Chinatown to close a deal with Phil and his brother-in-law, Czech Charlie, as the drama starring Adrian Lester, Robert Glenister, Robert Vaughn and Matt Di Angelo continues.

Charlie is a notorious hard-man and not one to consider conning, so when Phil collapses and dies, Albert decides to cut his losses and leave the con. But Charlie isn't pulling out – he wants the cash by the end of the week or else. Can the team con their way to half a million pounds to save Albert's bacon?

Episode 4

The gang are just about to close a deal worth £50K – that is, until Sean is distracted by someone with whom he has a score to settle, as the drama about a team of con artists continues. Sean lets the mark walk off with the money while he pursues this man, who Emma is shocked to discover is none other than Rex Kennedy – Sean and Emma's dad, who walked out on them 25 years ago. Sean is determined to get even and wants to con his dad to get the money he owes in back-dated child support. The gang are dubious but Sean is adamant he wants to go through with it, so they reluctantly agree.

Episode 5

The gang is left in shock in the penultimate episode of the drama about a team of con artists. The unthinkable happens when Mickey is conned; someone has ripped him off by selling him a useless mobile phone online. And, according to the age-old laws of Grifting, when a Grifter is conned, he is guaranteed a run of bad luck. What will the gang do if Mickey has lost his mojo?

They head to Eddie's to drown their sorrows, only to find it heaving with customers. It seems that Lady Luck has switched her allegiance and the gang needs to do something to restore the balance.

Episode 6

The gang is just about to close another successful deal in the final episode of the drama about a team of con artists, but a cruel twist of fate reveals one of the marks to be an undercover police officer. It seems the team might be in a spot of bother.

Mickey and the team are arrested and unceremoniously thrown into prison. Things seem to have gone from bad to worse when Nigel Chambers and Jennifer Hughes from MI6 arrive to question Mickey. The pair have a proposition for him and, unfortunately for Mickey, these two don't play by the book.
