Tess and Monica
are introduced to their next assignment when the Cadillac by Bart
and Hayley Ewing, a father and daughter con team. The angels
follow Bart and Hayley to Salt Lake City where Bart has promised
Hayley she will be able to indulge her favorite hobby, ice
skating. Monica works as an employee of the skating rink and is
short-changed by Bart as he pays for Hayley's entry. When Hayley
falls down, Andrew, the acting D.J., introduces her to an Olympic
hopeful skater, Alex Thorpe and she agrees to help Hayley learn to
skate. Meanwhile, Bart pretends to find some lost money in order
to win the trust of Alex's father, Carl, who is the owner of the
rink. Carl tells Bart of an upcoming fundraiser to benefit the
Silver Blades Skate Team. Bart notices the cash drop bag that
Carl is carrying and begins to hatch an idea for a scam. Later
that night, Hayley tells her father she wants to do something
other than con people--something she can be recognized for. At
the rink the next day, Hayley tells Andrew that she is torn
because she wants to skate but doesn’t want to hurt her father.
Andrew tells her to follow her conscience. Hayley works with
Alex, improves dramatically and begins to demand a more normal
life from her father. Bart promises to stay in town long enough
for Hayley to try out for the Silver Blades and she is temporarily
appeased. Bart then begins the con of Carl by asking if Hayley
might be able to practice at the rink after it closes. When Carl
agrees, Bart pretends to drop Hayley off, packs up their
belongings from the hotel, then returns to the rink and turns off
the lights. While Carl searches for the fuse box, Bart then takes
the bank drop. When the lights have been restored, Bart arrives
at the rink to retrieve Hayley. As Bart and Hayley make their
getaway, Hayley realizes that her father has left the snow globe
which belonged to her mother at the hotel room and refuses to
leave town without it. Bart and Hayley return to the hotel room
to find the globe. As they leave the cops arrive and Bart is
arrested. Knowing that it will be easier for him to get her out of
jail then vice versa, Hayley confesses to the crime. Bart tries
to convince Carl to drop the charges but he refuses, forcing a
court case. Monica reveals herself to Bart, convincing him to
trust God and listen to his conscience. Bart interrupts Hayley's
trial, confesses to the crime and asks his daughter to forgive him
for not teaching her right from wrong. The judge recommends that
Hayley be remanded to a foster home. Instead Carl decides to be
her foster parent enabling her to live and train with Alex.
