1"Pilot" Ben Younger Julia CohenFebruary 19, 2023 (2023-02-19)1STW012.37 [6]
Charlie Nicoletti is a con artist from a crime family that owns a Baltimore bar as a front; they score $10 million on a job. While celebrating their presumed retirement from crime, Charlie's fiancée secretly absconds with their profits. Emma Hill is an undercover CIA agent. Her partner, Kevin, has been having an affair right under her nose. Charlie and Emma meet at the bar of a luxury hotel and bond immediately. They flirtatiously banter and play coy about what each does for a living, then proceed to have a weekend of passion and intimacy. A besotted Charlie goes AWOL from his family business, although he sets up a new job marking a high-rolling mega-pastor. At an important gala, where the pastor as well as Emma's prominent family are present, Charlie attempts to break things off by lying to Emma, leaving her heartbroken. When the FBI begins investigating the $10 million job, Emma catches a glimpse of a familiar-looking man in the footage. The family tricks the pastor into handing over a large sum of money he had been laundering. Charlie apologizes to Emma and tells her the reasons he is falling for her, beginning their relationship. Later, at the family bar, the drug syndicate from the unsuccessful con job appear and want their $10 million back in blood.
2"A Sparkling Reputation" Kevin Mock Julia Cohen & Phil Klemmer February 26, 2023 (2023-02-26)1STW022.42 [7]
In order to start repaying the syndicate, The Nicolettis attempt to steal a prized necklace at an auction. Emma and Charlie go on a proper date, although their conversation is awkward. Emma's brother David is running for Senate re-election and calls for all hands-on deck. Emma has no interest in participating but sees his campaign's key vulnerabilities, resulting in her being offered a position. Emma and Charlie continue seeing each other but she coldly tells him not to get too attached just as Charlie did to her in the previous episode, though she later tells him it was because she was scared of how well he knows her. While investigating Daphne's hotel room their worlds almost collide. The Nicolettis find a way to steal the necklace from its socialite owner by posing as fashion photographers, but they're almost caught by her security; they soon realize the jewel is actually a stolen artifact and they extort her husband for $500,000 while forcing him to return the jewel. Emma has no choice but to tell her brother the truth about her job. Charlie deduces that Daphne, who is African American, may actually be Maguire's biological daughter. Because Charlie accidentally moved an item in Daphne's hotel, it inadvertently leads her to find out Emma bugged it.
