Frauds Season 1 starts off with a dash of nostalgia and humor as old partners Sam (Jodie Whittaker) and Bert (Suranne Jones) reunite after ten long years.
What starts as a quiet drive from a Spanish prison quickly unravels into a wild, emotionally charged journey that sets the stage for their next big con.
The first episode not only reintroduces their complicated bond but also hints at something bigger brewing. By the end, it's clear. Some habits, and some friendships, refuse to stay buried.
A decade apart, but still in sync: The reunion of Sam and Bert in Frauds Season 1 Episode 1
Frauds Season 1 dives headfirst into the central relationship of the series. When Bert walks free from La Cienaga Prison, Sam is there waiting and anxious, guarded, and as well as unsure of what this reunion will be like or bring forth. Their drive through the Spanish countryside feels like reopening old wounds.
Between awkward silences and bitter jokes, the tension is palpable. Bert, who's fighting terminal cancer, hides this fear behind humor and vodka. Sam, now trying to live an honest life with her chickens and rundown house, can't seem to fully let her past go. Their dynamic fluctuates between affection and resentment, and every look between them expresses what words can't.
Episode 1 builds this emotional push-and-pull beautifully, illustrating that their connection still exists, even if it seems to lack trust at the moment.
Ghosts of the past: Flashbacks, guilt, and confessions
As the story progresses, Frauds Season 1 takes a look into the lore of what tore Sam and Bert apart in the very first place. Through flashbacks, we learn that both were once part of a larger criminal ring led by one known as Miss Take.
When their last job went downhill, Bert is the one who takes the fall while Sam escapes prison time, a decision that still seems to eat away at her. Now, with Bert back and on the verge of dying, the past refuses to stay buried. Their late-night conversations are filled with blame, laughter, and regret.
A night out, a bullring, and a spark of mischief reignited
The tone shifts halfway through Frauds Season 1 Episode 1 when Bert convinces Sam to relive their old life of thrill and risk. What starts off as a harmless outing turns into a full-blown break-in at a historic bullring. The scene is quite tense yet grimly funny, with Bert's reckless energy clashing with Sam's cautious nature.
For a moment, they're not ex-criminals put down by guilt, but they're partners again. The scene captures the heart of the show's tone: the chaos of the two of them committing crimes together as a duo, and, well, their vulnerability. But the high doesn't last that long.
When they're caught by a guard and forced to flee, the moment bursts like a bubble, reminding them both that trouble always finds them faster than they can run.
Lies, loyalty, and one last job: Bert’s reveal
In the final scenes of Frauds Season 1 Episode 1, the tone darkens again. Bert confesses she wants to pull off one last job: a heist involving a priceless Salvador Dali painting, The Face of the Great M*sturbator.
Sam refuses at first, desperate to protect her quiet life, but Bert knows how to push her buttons. She reminds Sam of everything she's lost and everything they once were. It's manipulation wrapped in sentiment.
By the time the credits roll, Sam's resistance begins to crack. What started as a simple reunion turns into the setup for one final, dangerous con that could destroy or redeem them both. The emotional weight of this reveal lands hard, closing the episode on a promise of chaos to come.
Frauds Season 1 Episode 1 perfectly balances heart and hustle, setting up a story that's as much about second chances as it is about deception. Sam and Bert's reunion is a slow ignition of unfinished business.
Between humor, heartbreak, and criminal mischief, the premiere proves that these two women are far from done with each other. If this episode is any sign of what's ahead, Frauds Season 1 is gearing up to be a clever, emotional rollercoaster.
