A brief recap of Poker Face season 2 episode 8
In Poker Face season 2 episode 8, Charlie Cale meets a group of con artists headed by someone named Guy, who created the con called "The Sleazy Georgian." He scams people to give him money to exchange with some rich Georgian hiding in the US for twice the amount in Georgian Lari. However, during the transaction, he has his team member, Manny, pretend to kill him and take the bag full of cash.
Reggie, who just so happens to have $20,000 on her as a treasurer for the National Orphan Fund, wants in on the action to double the money. However, the con goes sideways when Reggie uses Guy's gun to kill Manny.
With Guy and the other man down, Reggie takes the bag. However, she later realizes that it's only paper in there, and Guy must have switched the bag of cash with a dummy. She ends up killing herself.
Charlie Cale also gets mixed up with Guy as a potential mark. However, since she can spot his lies, it doesn't work, and Guy invites her to join the team with the promise that they will only target criminals. Charlie, however, finds out about Reggie and what happened to her, and knows that Guy is lying.
In the last con, gambling addict Sketch becomes Guy's next mark, and he can provide $400,000 in cash. Guy is happy about the possible huge payout, but during the transaction, Sketch turns out to have a gun. Before Manny can shoot Guy with a prop gun, Sketch kills Manny. Charlie then tackles Sketch, giving Guy a chance to escape with the bag of money.
What he doesn't know is that Charlie has switched the bag like he did with Reggie. Instead of the money, Guy gets a bag full of coupons. It turns out, Sketch, Manny, and Charlie have been working together, and Sketch is Manny's husband. Since they don't want the cash, Charlie gives it back to the orphanage.
