- The team finally allow Billy into their inner realms just as a figure from his past resurfaces and threatens to blow Billy's cover if he doesn't give him £20,000. The crew look to con Clarissa Bartwell an immoral "fashionista" using the "Emperor's New Clothes" as their inspiration.—Anonymous
- When the con artists learn that Clarissa Bartwell has been cheating charities, she's the perfect mark for their next scam. Her great weakness is fashion and she sees herself as having a fashion sense extraordinaire. Deciding that the time has come for Billy to become a full-fledged member of the team, they set him up as the up and coming young fashion designer in London with various French couturiers after his services. Things are going well until she introduces her no-nonsense financial manager who doesn't seem to be as enamored with them as she is. Like any good team leader, Danny sets up a plan B to make sure they can't lose.—garykmcd
- Can the gang pull off a con based on The Emperor's New Clothes?
Charity-robbing Clarissa has a passion for fashion. She buys all the latest trends and is desperate to get her hands on the most exclusive designer items. The Hustle gang decides that the way to con this woman is to make her want what she can't have. It's time to give her the 'Emperor's New Clothes.'
It may be more fairy-tale than con, but the same rules still apply: create the hype and let the mark do all the chasing.
And so begins a cat and mouse game in which Clarissa believes she is hot on the tails of celebrated new designer, Lorde. He's urban, he's cool - he's Billy in disguise, but will she want to invest in this bright young thing?
