In season 1 episode 11 of Hustle, titled "Toy Boy Story," the team is hired by Donny, a wealthy businessman who wants to exact revenge on his ex-wife's new toy boy lover. Donny's goal is to make it look like the toy boy is cheating on his ex-wife so that she will leave him and come back to him.
The team, led by master con artist Mickey Bricks, devises a plan to make it appear as though the toy boy is interested in Mickey's associate, Stacie. The team sets up a fake photography studio where Stacie poses as a model. The toy boy, named Ed, happens to walk by and is immediately attracted to Stacie.
The team's plan involves Stacie appearing to fall for Ed's charms, and they set up a series of fake romantic encounters. They have Stacie and Ed meet for a date, followed by a fake paparazzi event that makes it look like they are having an affair. All of this is staged to make Ed's ex-wife believe that he is cheating on her.
As the plan unfolds, the team begins to discover that things are not as they seem. Ed is not just a toy boy; he is actually a gigolo who preys on wealthy older women. Stacie, who is initially taken in by Ed's charms, begins to see him for who he really is.
Meanwhile, Mickey and his team must contend with Donny, who becomes increasingly impatient with how long the con is taking. They also have to deal with Ed's old girlfriend, who wants to get back together with him and is making it difficult for the team to pull off their plan.
The tension continues to build as the team's plan begins to unravel, and they must improvise to ensure their con is successful. The episode is filled with twists and turns, and it keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
