* ManipulativeBitch: Wendy Stanton, the primary mark for the episode, takes on young women, promising them photoshoots, but takes their cash they give her for the various fee's to be in the catalogue, and the recouping of the £900 that requires it never comes on their first shoot. It's this aspect of her that got the crew to con her, as Eddie's niece fell to her scam, and Eddie requests that the crew bring her down.
