An homage to the classic movie 'The Sting," this episode with a "professor of grifting" uses the movie's ragtime piano stylings and Norman Rockwell-style watercolors. It also includes a hilariously obscure reference at the end to the song "Hot Dogs! Hot Dogs!" by the Red Light Sting. Season 6 has been uneven, but this episode is a high point and captures the panache and cleverness of earlier seasons. I also like that Britta is a clever character in this episode, truer to her character in Season 1.
It seems clear that many people commenting on this episode haven't seen "The Sting" and therefore don't understand the context for the storyline.
