Tonight on Hustle the grifters' friend, Carol, suffers a heart attack, the gang discovers she's been the victim of a sham diet plan run by American fraudsters Dr Dean Deville and his wife, Dana. Determined to put the corrupt fraudsters through their paces, Mickey hatches a weight-loss scam to sell them a miraculous diet pill, but knows they'll first need to gain their trust with an elaborate convincer. He lures the couple in by claiming he can steal a much-desired Faberge egg while Ash, dressed in a fat suit, speedily loses weight. The Devilles are intrigued by the weight loss and Ash lets slip that he's been taking a stolen diet drug. The team convince Dean and Dana to steal the formula from a pharmaceutical lab but it's a risky endeavour. Have the grifters gone too far this time?
