Flipping Out

Business is booming for Jeff and his crew at Jeff Lewis Designs. GageÕs first order of business is to schedule a trip to San Francisco where Jeff will be the keynote speaker for Design Week.This is a big opportunity for Jeff and he is putting a lot of pressure on Sarah and Trace to hold down the fort while heÕs away.

Jeff's exasperation with his employees mounts when Sarah drops the ball during an important client meeting and Zoila is late for work. Meanwhile, Jeff gains a new client who happens to be the wife of rock musician Tommy Shaw.

Jeff and Jenni hit the streets of New York City with their longtime friend and client, Chaz Dean. Jeff has been working on Chaz's Hollywood Salon for the past two years and is hoping to add this New York space to the list as well -- but Jeff is still working on the Hollywood Salon and as the pressure builds to get that project finished, he realizes he may lose this job and a good friend. Meanwhile, Zoila's birthday is coming up and Jeff is determined to outdo the brand new car he bought for Zoila last year.

The motto at Jeff Lewis Design has always been to work hard and play hard, so when Jeff books another speaking engagement in Las Vegas, he decides to throw Sarah a bachelorette party and bring the whole gang along for the ride. It's still a business trip however, and when Gage and Jenni are the only ones to show up for the actual speaking engagement -- Jeff realizes that he may not be able to rely on his staff as much as hoped. Meanwhile, back in LA, it's finally time for Zoila's birthday facelift.

Zoila returns to the house where the doctor has prescribed bed rest for several weeks. Jeff, however, feels that Zoila is perfectly capable of some light chores - no matter how disgusting they are. Meanwhile, Sarah's behavior continues to wear on Jeff, so he brings Jenni in full-time to help out with some important clients.

Jeff continues to take on more business, but with a smaller staff, the pressure is on to maintain a steady pace at the office. The deadline to finish Chaz Dean's salon is fast approaching and Jeff needs his remaining employees' full commitment. When he discovers that someone has been doing private design consultations on the side, things get ugly.

With Chaz Dean's salon remodel finally under his belt, Jeff sets his eyes on bigger and better things -- specifically the Chaz Dean salon job in New York. But when Jeff realizes that Chaz has been mum on the subject, he gets worried that he won't hire him for the job. Meanwhile, Jeff continues work on Stacy Farish's home on Sunshine Terrace.

Jeff hires one of his trusty contractors, Randy, to work on a project in the Hollywood Hills. As the work begins, Jeff becomes suspicious of how Randy is spending money and a discussion about the issue quickly turns into a raging fight. Meanwhile back on the home front, Jeff deals with a medical emergency when his dog, Casey is rushed to the vet for an emergency surgery.

The Hollywood Hills project is still in limbo, but Jeff has bigger things to worry about when Randy, the contractor, threatens legal action. If that's not enough to stress Jeff out, he's also forced to re-consider Jenni's future at the company when Gage finds a potential permanent employee that can commit to the position 100 percent as opposed to Jenni's part-time employment.

Even though his design business is booming, Jeff is starting to get the itch to flip houses again. As he's looking for properties though, he realizes that he's not really looking for a house to flip, but rather a home for him and Gage to build a family. Meanwhile, Gage finds a potentially lucrative venture for Jeff Lewis Design, but it also requires a sizable investment.
