The episode has a great plot. A team of hustlers real put Del and his mates through a long con and it really works. Trig is so dumb in this episode and the banter between them all is fantastic. Especially when Boycie thinks he has lost his money. Probably the biggest negative is i’m always a bit cringey when they sit in the restauraunt and Del pretends he is a doctor and a punch goes flying etc. Just felt a little amateur. But that is probably why this didn’t make number one for me.
