After each faced heartbreak to a differing degree, his which in addition cost the family $10 million, their biggest score to date, Charlie and Emma meet for the first time by chance in a hotel bar, their sexual connection which each arguably sees as a one night stand as they are both on the rebound. Their time, as are many such encounters, is filled with kernels of truth, some half truths and total lies which both understand is the nature of the beast. That one night stand, or in reality thirty-six hour stand, is potentially revisited as they meet again, again by chance, in their "real" lives, at a high end by-invitation only cocktail party held by the Illumin8 Fellowship, which Charlie and Emma are both trying to take down from different angles. In meeting again, Charlie and Emma have to decide if there is any chance at all of a "second date" leading to more which for each will depend on how much each feels he/she can divulge to the other about their real lives. Charlie's may depend on if the Nicolettis will collectively hang up their con days, those thoughts as Leo is showing his age which may put their lives at risk if they continue.
