The next con the Nicolettis embark upon is with Jones Malone, who grew up with Charlie and Birdie, and who the entire family has never really liked. This con, brought to them by Jones, is to fleece wealthy venture capitalist Martha Pope, who Jones, under an assumed name, has managed to make his fiancée in a matter of weeks as part of the con. The $1 million con, which would net the Nicolettis $200,000, is to sell Martha a racehorse, the catch being it not owned by them, which she would only discover after they've taken off with her money. After finding out more about Martha, the Nicolettis decide to change the con, the potential problem in that change being the unknown in dealing with matters of the heart. With Daphne, the Nicolettis try to find out more about her to get the upper hand in their relationship, one where they don't much like her seemingly intruding on them whenever she feels, but it may be an unwitting act by Ollie that nets them some important information. Emma, too, is trying to figure out Daphne's motives in not understanding her movements. Due to circumstances, Charlie feels the need for Emma to meet the family. And David will find that despite or because of the family political legacy, being a Hill does have its drawbacks which may factor into his current run for senate.
