ORIGINALLY AIRED: April 5, 1983

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
When London conman, Daniel Chalmers, cheats a crooked casino boss, the shady Mr. Hoskins follows him to Los Angeles to seek revenge. 

In a delightful turn that hints at Remington Steele’s own suspicious past, it turns out Chalmers was his mentor in the hustling game and the two team up to double cross Hoskins.

Meanwhile, Laura is hired by Hoskins to track down Chalmers. And to make matters worse, Laura’s overbearing mother shows up unexpectedly to try to recover from a heartbreak.

Laura, Murphy and even Laura’s mother are folded into the sting as Steele and Chalmers pull off an elaborate sports betting scam to take 50 thousand dollars from Hoskins and run him out of town.
