Their method of operation is to make their targets fall in love with Maddie while ingraining themselves into their lives, and then steal all their valuables shortly after marrying them. After Ezra Bloom becomes the latest victim of their con, he is visited by Richard Evans, one of Maddie's previous targets, who is looking for her. Together they find Jules Langmore, an artist, who also was married to Maddie. The three decide to team up and look for Maddie, who is currently trying to con an undercover FBI agent, Patrick Campbell, and get their money back.
