* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Ezra uses a Hugh Grant impression he tries on a new friend early in season 2 as the model for an accent he later puts on for a mark. He does sound a lot like Hugh Grant, but Rob Heaps tends to slip on some of his r's and a few vowels.
* PowerWalk: Played for laughs in the first scene of the second season as the Bumblers stride in slo-motion at a bus depot. They start to seperate with Ezra calling out as it turns out each had a different idea what bus to take.
* SpotTheImposter: Ezra is able to see through Richard's FBI act due to Richard's inability to pronounce "Bureau" correctly.
* TookALevelInBadass: Ezra grows more assertive and confident, as a grifter and just as a person in general, the further along he goes in trying to find Maddie. By the season finale, [[spoiler:he manages to fool not only the FBI, but both Maddie and Max, and is the only one among them who gets away with anything valuable in the end]].
* WasItAllALie: Maddie's video to Ezra (and, it's hinted, to Richard and Jules as well) lampshades how they will all be wondering how much of their relationship was fake or not.

* AndThisIsFor: In the finale, [[spoiler:Maddie ditches Max when she learns that he got rid of Sally. When Max opens the briefcase he thinks has the FBI's money in it, Maddie has left a note invoking this trope]].
* BelligerentSexualTension: Maddie with everybody post-divorce, but Ezra in particular. [[spoiler: It's not even resolved when they have sex in season 2; they're back at each other's throats almost immediately.]]
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:When she realizes Max didn't hesitate to sell Sally out to her death just to save his own skin.]]
* CallingCard: When Maddie has gotten what she came for, she leaves her mark with a website containing a video explaining herself, telling her mark not to find her, and threatening them if they try.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Always forward, never back." A phrase Maddie likes to say a lot, that Ezra, Richie and Jules each remember her saying to them. The three of them later appropriate it for themselves.
* EnemyMine: In the eighth episode, [[spoiler:Maddie decides to recruit Ezra, Jules and Richard in order for her and Max to have a chance at conning Patrick despite learning that he's in the FBI]].
* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: How Ezra fell for Maddie.
* FakeNationality: InUniverse, Maddie pretended to be Belgian when she seduced Ezra.
* FourthDateMarriage: Seems to be Maddie's MO.
* GiveMeBackMyWallet: Meeting Max's old con artist mentor, Maddie lets him pick her wallet to prove he's faking being mentally ill.
* IHaveManyNames: Maddie goes by a different name with every mark, being also known as Ava, Alice, [=CeCe=] and Saffron.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: One of the things that attracts Maddie towards Patrick is the fact that he is not a mark and she could lead a perfectly normal life with him. [[spoiler:It turns out Patrick is an FBI agent going after The Doctor and using her to track him down, and she has her moment of heartbreak when she learns this]].
** Maddie attempts this in season 2, moving into a small town and deciding to live a quiet life free of her past. It doesn't last long.
* ImagineSpot: Maddie fantasizes about one of her marks choking on his sushi and dropping dead at the table.
* InLoveWithTheMark: Maddie seems to subvert this as she insists each "marriage" is nothing but a job. However, she admits she did need to feel some love for her marks to make the con work and a therapist states Maddie just can't turn that off.
** In season 2, [[spoiler: Patrick's former FBI supervisor realizes he really did love Maddie and is worried those feelings are complicating the search for her.]]
* LittleMissConArtist: A season 2 flashback shows how Maddie was working a dead-end waitress job in her town when Max and Sally first met her. They saw how she was easily bantering with the customers, putting on fake smiles and even voices to win them over with the occasional story (convincing a patron their steak was just as good as the $50 one across the street). Max openly notes "she's a natural" as they recruited her to help with a local con, leading to their partnership.
* MaleGaze: The camera never misses a chance to focus on Maddie's spectacular body. The fact that she only dresses in outfits that shown it off undoubtedly helps.
* MasterOfDisguise: Maddie is quite expert at this.
* MultipleIndentityIDs
* ObfuscatingDisability: Maddie tracks down the Doctor's former partner, who seems to be a mentally addled man in a retirement home. Naturally, the act doesn't fool Maddie for a second and he drops it fast.
* OhCrap: Maddie looks like she is about to completely lose her shit when [[spoiler:Ezra, Richard and Jules confront her in a diner in episode 5]].
** Also when they convince her that [[spoiler: Patrick works for the FBI and Maddie realizes she's been the one played this time.]]
* PaidForFamily: A variation as Maddie's partners, Max and Sally help her with the cons. They switch turns with one playing her parent or other guardian while the other infiltrates the mark's company.
* PragmaticVillainy: The reason Maddie and her crew generally go after {{AssholeVictim}}s has nothing to do with morality. It's just that they usually have a DarkSecret that can be used to blackmail them into not reporting the con.
* RunningGag: When someone refers to Maddie as "a bitch," one (or all three) of the Bumblers will automatically snap "don't call her that."
* StressVomit: When she's finally met by her exes, Maddie asks to go to the bathroom. Once inside, she immediately vomits into the toilet and then comes back acting as if nothing is wrong.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: After discovering [[spoiler: Patrick is an FBI agent, Maddie is basically kicking herself that she fell for exactly the same sort of tricks (from a fake family to playing hard to get) that she's used countless times on her own marks. Naturally, the Bumblers take some pleasure out of Maddie getting a dose of what she did to them.]]
** Earlier in the series, when Maddie is with Patrick for her "birthday," she's stunned when Ezra drops by, pretending to be her big brother and Jules his girlfriend. They're obviously getting a kick using the same "fake family" gimmick Maddie used on them as Maddie is fighting not to lose it in front of Patrick. And then Richard is one of the bartenders for the party.

** In season 2, [[spoiler: Patrick's former FBI supervisor realizes he really did love Maddie and is worried those feelings are complicating the search for her.]]
* LittleMissConArtist: A season 2 flashback shows how Maddie was working a dead-end waitress job in her town when Max and Sally first met her. They saw how she was easily bantering with the customers, putting on fake smiles and even voices to win them over with the occasional story (convincing a patron their steak was just as good as the $50 one across the street). Max openly notes "she's a natural" as they recruited her to help with a local con, leading to their partnership.
* MaleGaze: The camera never misses a chance to focus on Maddie's spectacular body. The fact that she only dresses in outfits that shown it off undoubtedly helps.
* MasterOfDisguise: Maddie is quite expert at this.
* MultipleIndentityIDs
* ObfuscatingDisability: Maddie tracks down the Doctor's former partner, who seems to be a mentally addled man in a retirement home. Naturally, the act doesn't fool Maddie for a second and he drops it fast.
* OhCrap: Maddie looks like she is about to completely lose her shit when [[spoiler:Ezra, Richard and Jules confront her in a diner in episode 5]].
** Also when they convince her that [[spoiler: Patrick works for the FBI and Maddie realizes she's been the one played this time.]]
* PaidForFamily: A variation as Maddie's partners, Max and Sally help her with the cons. They switch turns with one playing her parent or other guardian while the other infiltrates the mark's company.
* PragmaticVillainy: The reason Maddie and her crew generally go after {{AssholeVictim}}s has nothing to do with morality. It's just that they usually have a DarkSecret that can be used to blackmail them into not reporting the con.
* RunningGag: When someone refers to Maddie as "a bitch," one (or all three) of the Bumblers will automatically snap "don't call her that."
* StressVomit: When she's finally met by her exes, Maddie asks to go to the bathroom. Once inside, she immediately vomits into the toilet and then comes back acting as if nothing is wrong.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: After discovering [[spoiler: Patrick is an FBI agent, Maddie is basically kicking herself that she fell for exactly the same sort of tricks (from a fake family to playing hard to get) that she's used countless times on her own marks. Naturally, the Bumblers take some pleasure out of Maddie getting a dose of what she did to them.]]
** Earlier in the series, when Maddie is with Patrick for her "birthday," she's stunned when Ezra drops by, pretending to be her big brother and Jules his girlfriend. They're obviously getting a kick using the same "fake family" gimmick Maddie used on them as Maddie is fighting not to lose it in front of Patrick. And then Richard is one of the bartenders for the party.

* GentlemanThief: Ezra grows into this as he continues grifting in the process of trying to track Maddie down.
* GiveMeBackMyWallet: In Mexico, Ezra meets a lovely Colombian lady and they chat over the city as she expertly picks his wallet. She heads to an alley to get out the cash and slips the wallet into a purse packed with several. She frowns and starts rummaging just as Ezra calls from behind her, revealing he has her cell phone. Instead of being upset, Ezra gives her tips on "don't flirt so quickly" the next time she pulls this. He also points out that he'd appreciate having the money ''in'' the wallet returned as well.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Ezra, Richard and Jules undergo a mild version of this trope, as they are left to resort to becoming con artists themselves to fund their search for Maddie.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Ezra uses a Hugh Grant impression he tries on a new friend early in season 2 as the model for an accent he later puts on for a mark. He does sound a lot like Hugh Grant, but Rob Heaps tends to slip on some of his r's and a few vowels.
* PowerWalk: Played for laughs in the first scene of the second season as the Bumblers stride in slo-motion at a bus depot. They start to seperate with Ezra calling out as it turns out each had a different idea what bus to take.
* SpotTheImposter: Ezra is able to see through Richard's FBI act due to Richard's inability to pronounce "Bureau" correctly.
* TookALevelInBadass: Ezra grows more assertive and confident, as a grifter and just as a person in general, the further along he goes in trying to find Maddie.
