The Company You Keep Season 1 Episode 2 A Sparkling Reputation
After Daphne sets a quick turnaround for payment, the Nicolettis devise a plan to steal a valuable necklace at an auction. Meanwhile, as Emma and Charlie are both pursuing Daphne, their worlds nearly collide.
Charlie and his family are really good at what they do.
If you’ve taken nothing else from the first two installments, it should be this. Because with their backs against the wall and a ruthless Daphne breathing down their necks, they executed a con that had no business working out, yet they still managed to pull it off and make a dent, albeit a small one, into their massive debt.
But while everything (eventually) came out roses for the Nicolettis on The Company You Keep Season 1 Episode 2, the budding romance between Charlie and Emma hit a snag.
Crossing Maguire has wound up costing Charlie and company more than they could have imagined. They took a significant risk, it backfired, and now they are forced to jump into new jobs in hopes of quickly paying Daphne off and getting their lives back.
The auction con, as I’ve nicknamed this one, comes about very quickly and dovetails from Charlie and Fran infiltrating an auction to Leo stepping into an old disguise. And it works much better than you think.
Milos is the perfect character to introduce here when you’re dealing with the likes of high society people whose reputation means more to them than anything.
All he has to do is drop a little bait, and Mrs. Ellsworth is more than willing to open her house up to strangers who promise to give her more exposure and bragging rights.
The climax of the con, which involves whether or not they’ll get away with stealing the necklace, is pretty nerve-wracking, if only because I still don’t understand how Charlie got that dog to cooperate enough to stay out of the way AND then meet him outside.
I’m always willing to suspend disbelief, if necessary, regarding television because it’s not always made to portray everything in a realistic light. We’re here to be entertained more than anything else, and it was a lot of fun watching those tense few minutes to see if Charlie could pull it off.
