On the occasion of his birthday party, Luke (Leonardo DiCaprio) is allow to invite his homeless pal Barney (Jim Bentley), the self-described "only honest three-card monte player" in the world. Unfortunately, Barney's honesty fails him when he steals a valuable Seaver family memento. This is the first of several episodes in which series regular Tracey Gold does not appear, due to her well-publicized medical problems (it is explained that Gold's character, Carol Seaver, is in London studying at the British Museum). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
