Ep 1. And Jill Came Tumbling After

And Jill Came Tumbling After is the first episode of the American television series Scoundrels, which premiered on June 20, 2010, on the ABC network. Set in the fictional town of Saddle River, Virginia, the show follows the misadventures of the West family, a dysfunctional clan of small-time criminals trying to make their way in the world.

The episode starts with a bang as the matriarch of the family, Cheryl West (Virginia Madsen), busts her husband, Wolf West (David James Elliott), out of prison using a fake bomb and a plumbing accident. With Wolf back home, the Wests set out to pull off a diamond heist that they hope will get them out of the life of crime for good.

Meanwhile, the youngest member of the family, Heather (Leven Rambin), is trying to find her place in the world. She's been to college, but dropped out, and now spends most of her time partying with her friends. Heather's older brother, Cal (Patrick Flueger), is a more seasoned criminal, but he's in over his head with his girlfriend, a porn star named Karma (Jessalyn Gilsig), who wants to move on to bigger and better things.

As the Wests prepare for the heist, tensions rise between them. Wolf is still in love with Cheryl, but she's ready to move on. Cal is jealous of his father's attention on Heather, and Heather is struggling to find her own identity. The heist goes off the rails, and the Wests are left wondering if they will ever be able to leave their life of crime behind.

And Jill Came Tumbling After is a fast-paced, action-packed debut episode that sets up the series' premise and introduces the audience to its colorful cast of characters.
