Instant Dream Home (2022) s01e01 Episode Script

1
[suspenseful music playing]
[man on radio] Okay, looks like
the Buitekants are leaving the house.
[Taylor] We're going to hang out
at one of my buddy's houses.
[Ruby-Beth] Yeah.
[man] They're headed to the car.
You can go ahead and move out.
[dramatic music playing]
We are on our way
to the Buitekants' house.
Both Ruby-Beth and her mom, Beth-Anne,
are leaving right now
with our lovely accomplice.
[Taylor] You're on the walkway.
[Danielle] They're going
to a friend's house
because he's having the "porch repaired,"
and he doesn't want them to come
in contact with the dust and the noise.
-[Taylor] Perfect. You gonna drive, honey?
-Yup.
[Taylor] Great.
That is a straight-up lie.
He's in on a huge secret.
We are about to transform the whole house
and the yard in one day.
Who does that?
We do!
Now, months ago,
Taylor sent us a submission,
telling his wife and mother-in-law
it was for a little makeover show.
I'm nominating my wife
and my mother-in-law
because the house has not gotten
the TLC that I think
they've put out into the world.
Changes to the house just have not been
a big priority in the last few decades.
You know, it's taken different forms
for all these years, but I love the house.
[Ruby-Beth] I've been
here at my home since 1984.
The house has two bedrooms
and one-and-a-half bathrooms.
We are busting at the seams, especially
since our little family has grown.
Taylor has joined us in the house
and now I'm expecting.
This is so high.
I would never be able to get a baby out.
Yeah, but we can just
wheel it around the house.
[Ruby-Beth] We struggle with space,
we struggle with organization.
This is where Taylor and I live.
This was my room as a very small child.
We really don't have space for this baby.
The hope is to reconfigure
so that we can fit a bassinet in here.
Here's hoping the baby is really small?
The kitchen, it's not
the most easy kitchen to cook in.
There's not a lot of counter space.
We definitely make do.
-[Taylor] Special delivery.
-[both] Thank you.
[Taylor] While we have the great news
of expecting our first child,
we're trying to balance joy and sorrow,
because, over the last year,
my mother-in-law lost her sight
as a result of
some pretty complicated medical issues.
[Ruby-Beth] Grab my arm
and feel where the chair starts.
Yep, good.
[Taylor] Beth-Anne
has immense challenges ahead of her.
We've been rearranging
every piece of furniture we have
to make her life easier,
and have kind of reached our limits,
to the point where we need more room.
["We Are the Party People" playing]
We like to do what's never been done ♪
And break all the rules
And make all the fun ♪
[Danielle] Since sending in his video,
Taylor told Ruby-Beth and Beth-Anne
they weren't selected.
But the truth is, we've got
a convoy of trucks filled with our team
and everything we need in it
to make this crazy reno happen.
Now Taylor's job is to keep his family
away from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Any longer than 12 hours,
they're gonna start asking questions.
So, uh, we gotta get in and out.
We're here. Here we go!
[renovator whistles]
Time to get your game faces on, people.
Here's my game face.
[screams] Let's go, everybody!
[Erik] Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
-[Paige] Let's do it.
-[Erik] Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
[upbeat music playing]
[man] Like wrapping presents.
[shrieking] Oh, my God!
There's spider webs! Oh, my God! Okay.
I'm more gangster than this, I swear.
Okay. Oh, my gosh!
Top of the day, I'm already sweating.
[Erik] There it is.
[Nick] Watch yourself.
Oh, my gosh, look at Ruby-Beth.
-So beautiful. Pack a box.
-[Paige] Sorry, sorry.
I'm getting distracted.
There's so much family sentimental value.
[Adair] We don't have time.
How in the world
can Beth-Anne, Ruby-Beth, Taylor,
move around in here with all this stuff?
[Adair] They can't. They can't.
That's why we're gonna clean it up.
[Danielle] So how can we make over
a whole house in a day?
We spend months preparing
at this warehouse.
The Buitekant family.
Now the real challenge
is going to be fitting this family of four
into a Victorian-style bungalow
that has not been updated since the 1980s.
There's a lot to do.
-It's a lot to do.
-[Nick] A lot to do.
So from the front to the back,
Nick, walk us through.
[Nick] Front yard. We've got a ton of demo
and we're cleaning up those trees,
creating a nice simple walkway.
Repainting the whole house, and those
railway planters are gonna look fantastic.
Uh, let's go to the back.
We got a whole thing, Nick, Paige?
I'm very excited for this.
This entire backyard
is the special project,
and it's really relying heavily
on Nick and I, so you're welcome.
[Nick] We've got
the sensory kitchen garden.
This garden is more than just the veggies.
I want this to be a sensory experience.
I want her to smell the flowers,
I want her to feel
the different texture on leaves,
I want her to hear running water in
her garden, have that be a moment for her.
Yes!
We need this to be a spot
that Beth-Anne can easily access.
And Paige came up with
a brilliant solution.
[Paige] From the kitchen,
we add French doors
leading out into the garden, right?
I designed this pergola because I felt
like when she goes out into her backyard,
I want her to be
able to have a place to sit,
but I also feel like it's a beautiful
resting and gathering place.
-[Adair] Nice touch.
-[Erik] Love it.
Going into the living room, we know that
they like character and color.
So we're incorporating that
into the furniture and also on the walls.
[Erik] Uh, let's go into the dining room.
There's no space for them
to eat together in this dining room.
So coffee table out of here,
dining table in.
We'll make it happen.
Uh, and then we walk into the bedrooms.
-We've got two bedrooms.
-[Adair] It's clutter.
We need to get
all that stuff up off the floor.
We're doing all new furniture.
We also are painting.
We're also fixing their storage issue
and creating spaces to make sure
that things have a place to go.
Also, we need to find
a space for a new baby.
Tier him up with the dog.
Put the dog on bottom
and the baby on the top.
He has no kids, you guys.
So what I've come up with is we're gonna
steal a little space from the entry.
I'm going to have you reframe
just this small area here.
I think it may work
for what we need in the baby's room.
As long as we design this
with storage in mind, it has to happen.
We have to do this.
There is no other alternative.
I think it's a very clever solution
to a very precarious situation.
Okay. So, their kitchen.
The kitchen is a disaster.
They deserve a kitchen
that allows them to cook and be together.
This is really cluttered.
So we need to clean this up.
The flooring needs to be updated,
and they need more storage
and counter space.
We kinda need to
scratch the kitchen and start all over.
I have an idea. It's a little bit insane.
-You see this whole section of the house?
-[Paige] Yes.
[Erik] I'm just gonna go ahead
and remove that.
And then
I have a kitchen that's pre-built.
And when I get
these things on the forklift,
I drive in here
and I drop it right in place,
so that we can tack it to the walls
and to the floors.
This is, by far, the fastest way to get
this family a new kitchen in 12 hours.
But I haven't been under the floor,
I don't know what the joists look like.
There is a 20% chance
that the joists underneath the kitchen
can't hold the weight of that new kitchen.
-I mean
-[Adair] This is crazy.
-[Paige] I think it sounds really cool.
-[Nick] I don't know
-[Adair] This is crazy.
-[Erik] Deep breaths.
It sounds amazing,
and, like, I love the confidence.
But Paige and I are building an
entire garden through those French doors.
If that forklift is there
for any longer than you're telling me,
we're gonna have to make sacrifices,
and I don't want that to happen.
How 'bout if it snaps
and there's no kitchen?
What are we going to do
with a big hole in the wall?
Then we slink right on out of there
And pretend it never happened ♪
What?
We gotta get this framed out first,
that's the priority.
-[upbeat music playing]
-[worker whistling]
[Danielle] Nick!
Nick!
Can I join you?
Absolutely. But the key right now
is we need to create light.
-It is so overgrown.
-Oh!
If we're gonna put a garden in there,
you can't have a garden without light.
I wanted a chainsaw!
-I'm going for the big dog!
-[saw whirs]
-And then let it rip. All right?
-Okay, let me see!
Okay.
-[whirs loudly]
-[laughing] Yeah! Let's go!
[squeals] Okay, watch a girl work, honey!
[Nick] Cut it down!
-[upbeat music playing]
-[Danielle squealing]
-Okay! Okay!
-Come on, keep going! Keep going!
Yeah, baby! Ha-ha
[upbeat music continues]
[worker] Whoo!
[Erik] Come on, again!
We got to shake the roof off ♪
We got to scream it loud ♪
We'll make it roll, make it rock
We got to shout it out ♪
[Nick] Dude, are you seriously
about to go under the house?
[Erik] I gotta get under there
and actually see what this looks like.
How are we lookin' in there, Erik?
Well, I mean, the good thing is,
the joist seems to be generally okay.
Worst-case scenario
is it drops straight through
and ends up in the, uh,
crawlspace down here.
If that kitchen doesn't go in,
there's no garden,
there's no anything
on that whole front side.
Best-case scenario,
we drop it down slowly,
everything goes okay, it holds the weight.
Slower is not a good word
for a day like today.
Slower is better than
kitchen-in-crawlspace in my book.
You're not wrong.
[tense music playing]
[Adair] How's it going there?
It's a little tough
considering this is a detail roller.
Look what you're using.
I'll get you a roller.
-Okay, thank you.
-All right, of course.
[Danielle] While we're
tearing out the kitchen wall,
Taylor's keeping up the ruse
that there's just a little porch repair
happening back at home.
[Ruby-Beth] It's nice to have
a little respite here for the day, though.
[Taylor] Yeah.
[Beth-Anne] Yeah, that was good
of your friend to allow us to be here.
[dramatic music playing]
[Erik] Whoo! Come on, buddy, come on.
Get in there.
[Adair] Design is pushing it.
-[drill whirring]
-All right, no more lollygagging.
Let's go, get down.
We gotta drop this wall. Let's go.
[Nick] All right.
-[cicadas buzzing]
-[Ruby-Beth] There are a lot of cicadas.
[Beth-Anne] Yeah.
[Erik] Come on, hit it!
Whoo!
That's how we do it!
The faster we can get this kitchen in,
the better I'm going to feel about it.
Keep it coming.
Keep it coming, all the way down.
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
We gotta make up some time now.
[Danielle] The countdown to 7:00 p.m.
requires precision and planning.
So we built this schedule wall
that maps out every minute of the day.
[Paige] Okay.
Schedule wall, you know the drill.
This side, spaces of the home.
Up top, time separated
by increments of 30 minutes.
Right off the jump,
what I'm seeing is the two-hour time block
in which I'm forklifting
that kitchen into the house.
It's great to get it out of the way early
so we have all of this
time in the afternoon,
but that's assuming
that it actually goes well.
I'm just worried if this goes
one, two, three hours,
we're gonna end up
sacrificing the garden itself.
We can't lose the garden, so
Yeah, but if there's a forklift in the
middle of the garden, there is no garden.
It's stressful.
I know there's a lot going on. I will say
that if it gets done and we pull it off,
it's going to be amazing.
[clock ticking]
[Erik] Nice and easy.
The hard part's not over yet.
This is just
the part that makes me nervous.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm really actually nervous about this.
Hold.
-We tested this at the warehouse.
-And how did it go?
So this is our section of kitchen
we're going to put in.
We're gonna drive the fork right into here
with the kitchen on it.
We're gonna come right in here
and drop it in place.
-Widthwise, we're totally fine.
-Widthwise, we're fine.
This is gonna
fit through the doorway totally fine.
The issue more is height.
That's why we're gonna assemble this
header at the end in just a few minutes.
-Okay. Great.
-Okay?
-Two inches of clearance?
-Our clearance?
-Heightwise? 103.
-Heightwise.
-Versus how tall the thing is?
-101.
Two inches. There we go.
[dramatic music playing]
-[worker] Good?
-[Erik] Bring it on in.
Come on, now.
[bang]
[Nick] So, day of,
comes at an angle, we shimmy it in.
-Essentially?
-[Paige] Right.
-[Adair] Kinda.
-[Nick] Height's fine. So we're good.
[Paige] Actually working out pretty well.
So good.
-[Paige yelps]
-[wood clattering]
What just happened?
It looked like it was working.
[Erik] As you can see,
our seam broke here.
I think our only option is to reinforce
it with steel in the walers,
which is going to add weight.
And we just don't know
how strong those joists are,
and we're just not gonna be able
to find out until the day of the install.
But it's our only option right now.
Little bing, little bang, little boom.
It was not good.
We brought that in and it fell down.
So what makes you think
this is gonna be good?
The difference, though, is that this time,
we reinforced it with steel,
so that it's not
gonna end up tipping over.
The problem is, though,
is that if this comes in
and it's too heavy for the floor,
it's going to go through the floor.
That is not what I want
to hear right now, okay?
[tense music playing]
[Adair] Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my God.
It's going in in two different pieces.
One on the left, one on the right.
So we're gonna do this twice.
So this is basically
like a Jenga piece going into
Instead of pulling it out,
you're putting it in.
-[Nick] We're putting it in.
-[Danielle] Oh, my gosh.
-[Erik] Good.
-[Paige] Take it easy.
Adair, I need you outside guiding us in
so we don't hit that wall.
I need you on the inside
so we don't hit the header.
-I got it.
-[Adair] I gotta move over.
If anything comes even close, you holler.
[Paige] Okay, I will.
[Danielle] Oh, my gosh, y'all.
I think we need to say a prayer.
[Erik] Bring it down. Whoa.
Oh, Lord,
please don't let this thing fall apart
'cause we don't have no time for that.
[Erik] Be careful.
Look how tight it is at the top.
[Paige] Like the
like the tiniest bit down.
[Nick] Easy, easy, easy.
[Adair] Oh, no!
[Danielle nervously] Oh
[Erik] Good Lord.
It's pretty tight on the ground,
tight on the top, tight everywhere.
[all] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Adair] Oh, man.
Watch yourself.
This is a big issue right now.
[Paige] We got it.
We drag this across the wrong stud,
we're gonna be toast.
This way, keep coming in.
Keep coming. Keep coming.
-[Erik] Good right there.
-[Nick] All right, slow.
Erik, we're fully on the floor.
[Erik] Whoo!
-All right, y'all!
-[all cheering]
Yes!
["Oh Snap" by Jhay C
ft. Robyn Johnson playing]
[Erik] That's what I'm talking about!
We need to get this hooked up,
shifted into place,
then bring in the right side
of the kitchen and do the other half.
It happens once in a lifetime
Tell me are you getting this? ♪
You better act like it's a privilege ♪
[woman] First, on three.
One, two, three, go.
Here we go, we're in.
[Erik] Come on in, bring it up.
We gotta get this kitchen in ASAP.
Keep coming. Keep coming.
You're good. You're good. You're good.
How are we looking up top?
Good. We're good. We're good.
-Keep coming.
-[man] Back it up.
Bring it in. Nice and easy.
We're clear, good.
Beautiful. Beautiful. Nice and easy.
-[Nick] That was smooth.
-[Erik] That was smooth. I feel good.
I'm behind.
How soon can I get to the garden?
[Erik] As soon as this forklift is out.
-[Nick] Thanks, brother.
-I appreciate you.
[upbeat music playing]
I cannot believe that they pulled off
this forklift-kitchen-shenanigan thing,
but they did it.
We made up some time in the kitchen,
but we're 45 minutes behind in the garden.
Y'all, I hope we can get this done.
Game face, right? Game face!
-[Erik] Timber!
-[Nick laughing]
[Nick] All right, let's bring it in.
Here we go. Let's place the one
closest to the house first.
["All Eyes on Me"
by Joy Charity Enriquez playing]
All eyes on me, are you ready? ♪
All eyes on me, are you ready? ♪
So, Ruby-Beth and Beth-Anne
love to cook together.
Yes.
But Beth-Anne doesn't have, you know,
the easiest time getting around,
she doesn't have her eyesight right now.
So we create a garden
that is a sensory experience,
something you can touch,
you can hear, you can smell.
Oh, my gosh! This sounds beautiful.
Beth-Anne has been going through some
serious health issues over the last year.
From a bum shoulder replacement
to a found brain tumor,
and the results of that treatment
have cost her her eyesight.
Beth-Anne is such a genuine person
that she sees the best in people,
sighted or no sight.
[Beth-Anne] Given that I can't see,
it has been challenging.
I'm trying to adjust to it
one step at a time.
I see a little bit of light.
Maybe I'll be able to actually see
a little bit of the baby,
but I'll be able to feel the baby.
[Ruby-Beth] It's been hard
trying to figure out a lot of the physical
changes she's been going through,
and simultaneously I feel very honored to
be in a position to be able to care-take.
-[Nick] So this is our moon gate.
-All right.
[Nick] This is gonna be
the entrance to the garden.
You see this a lot
in Chinese landscape design.
-[Paige] I love it!
-It's really pretty.
Moon gate!
-The moon gate plant trellis.
-Wow! Wait, we need to do a prom pose.
-We don't have time!
-Come here, quickly!
You can't go underneath an arch
and not do a prom pose.
-[Paige] Okay. We're ready.
-Okay, great. Don't forget the arch.
[Paige] Okay.
[Danielle] With Ruby-Beth and
Beth-Anne relaxing at a friend's house
[Ruby-Beth] So, yeah, I think the
birth plan is really coming together.
[Beth-Anne] Yeah.
[Danielle] my accomplice
is here to see how far we've gotten.
-Hey, Taylor!
-Hi!
[Danielle] What's going on?
-Now, you know It's crazy, right?
-Wow, wow, wow.
You're supposed to be my accomplice.
-I am.
-You holding it down?
-They're not coming close to this house?
-They are not coming anywhere.
-Okay!
-I have the only vehicle. They're trapped.
That works for me.
How do you feel about this transformation?
I'm just blown away. What is happening?
This is bananas.
Yeah, so Beth-Anne brought Ruby-Beth here
when she was an infant, correct?
Right, um, Beth-Anne bought
this house 42 years ago.
Beth-Anne has been
giving back to this community
for 40 years since she got here,
and she raised her daughter
to do the same.
They haven't had anything extra
to put into it.
Everything that they've
accrued has gone out,
whether that's rented trailers to go
to Katrina or Sandy, and provide aid
-That's amazing.
-Anytime there's extra, it's not for them.
[Ruby-Beth] My mother is the definition
of a community worker.
[Beth-Anne] I've been involved in
social justice issues most of my life.
And then, of course,
after Ruby-Beth was born,
I mean,
she went to demonstrations with me.
I just took a pregnancy test.
-Oh!
-It's positive.
Oh, my gosh!
[voice breaking] Oh, my gosh!
Aside from becoming a mama,
this is the most
miraculous thing in my life.
Oh, and it's got stars on the top.
Oh, cute.
[Taylor] Hey.
[Ruby-Beth] Our "nursery"
is a corner of the front room
that just has a lot of wonderful gifts
that people have given us.
The hope is to fit a bassinet in here
and then just keep adapting
as they get bigger.
So, we're, um, we're cramped,
but to think about
bringing my brand-new baby
across the same threshold that my mama
brought me across is pretty spectacular.
I'm going to go check on the crew.
-And, you, please go check on the family!
-Go take care of Okay.
Make sure that they are
where they need to be.
-I will call you.
-All right.
-You going to pick up?
-I will. I got you.
[tense music playing]
Ooh, I had so much hair in my mouth.
We're 15 off this wall.
So we're talking about another six.
How wide is the crib?
[tools clanking]
-[Erik] You got this marked up?
-Fourteen-three.
[Erik] Fourteen and three quarters.
[Danielle] Erik and Adair!
This looks like a nursery closet.
The door is gonna be here, you walk in.
Then when you get inside,
this is where the crib is gonna go.
Listen, we built out an entire full-scale
replica of this in the warehouse.
-We made sure everything fits.
-To the iota.
-[Danielle] No way.
-To the iota.
-[Erik] All right, let's go.
-[Adair] I need you. Okay.
What's the baby need six drawers for?
How many outfits they got?
Baby has a lot of stuff.
Let's try to get this crib in.
What's wrong with that?
-Literally nothing.
-Yup. Mmm-hmm.
Okay, who's putting anything over a baby?
The baby can't reach it. It's fine.
No, you can't put anything above
a baby's head and crib. You cannot.
That's why I have nieces and nephews.
That way I don't have to worry about this.
You're never gonna ever
be able to watch my son.
-[Erik] Yup.
-I just want you to know.
Her and Taylor definitely need
a space to themselves.
[Adair] Totally, and their room
is right there. Literally right there.
[Danielle] It's your time, we got you!
Now, stop wasting my time,
'cause this is gonna be a bottleneck.
We got a lot to do. Go, thank you.
-You, let's get back to work.
-[Danielle exclaims]
-[Erik] Stop talking, more working.
-Bye!
-Bye!
-[Adair] Good to see you!
They're making a baby,
like, cribby room-ish thing. I love it.
-[thunder breaking]
-[rain falling]
[pensive music playing]
-[Adair] Erik.
-Yeah, dude, I know.
There's no break in the clouds.
There's thunder on the horizon.
I don't know how long it's gonna last.
Nick, be careful. It's really slippery.
[thunder booming]
Look, we got the outside
covered with quick-dry paint,
so that should be fine, but
it's not what we needed.
[upbeat music playing]
It's so slippery.
I'm good, Paige. I'm good.
God, this angle is awful.
I'm gonna fall off this ladder.
[Nick] Let's go!
[Paige] You're making me nervous.
Okay, I'm done.
Rise up and face your fear ♪
Dry your tears, whoa-oh ♪
[upbeat music playing]
[Danielle] With only
four-and-a-half hours to go,
we're ahead in the bedrooms,
living and dining rooms.
[woman] So much to do!
[Danielle] But we're
behind in the kitchen.
[Nick] Let's go, Paige.
We got plants coming through.
[upbeat music continues]
[Nick] There it is.
There it is.
All right, Paige, we're gonna spread out
everything as much as we can
and fill in with the ornamental peppers.
-[Paige] Sounds good.
-All right?
[upbeat music continues]
[Adair] Excuse me, sorry.
Comin' through, guys.
You guys, we gotta go.
It's good we have so many people,
but then that's also messing things up.
[Danielle] Yeah, Adair,
it looks like you're working hard,
but I need you to work faster, my friend.
Oh, boy.
There's a few things in here
that look like tomatoes,
so you're gonna have to let me know
if I'm wrong on some of these.
-[yelps]
-[Nick] Don't worry, I got Paige down!
I'm okay.
-[worker 1] Use 'em both.
-[worker 2] Yeah.
-[Adair] Erik?
-Yo!
The thing that I really,
really need a lot of help with
-[Erik] Uh-huh.
-The kitchen is a complete disaster.
-[Erik] Still?
-Still.
I'm scared to think of what's gonna happen
when the kitchen's not done.
-Look at this kitchen.
-[Erik] Okay.
-It's still not done. Can you
-Okay. All right.
Please, help. Help.
-[Erik] All right. Let's go.
-[upbeat music playing]
[Erik] Straight back.
All right, let's get somebody
to caulk that up.
Oof.
That thing's gonna take me right out.
This one's for that corner right there.
[upbeat music continues]
-Some green garden Velcro tape.
-[Paige] Okay.
And you're just gonna get this going
up the side like that. All right?
[Paige] Okay, trying my
absolute hardest to be delicate with this.
-[gasps]
-[music stops suddenly]
-You didn't.
-I'm sorry.
Keep moving, I can't look at that.
Hey, Danielle.
This is beautiful! Oh, my gosh!
I love this.
-[Paige] Thanks!
-Thanks, it's getting there.
The problem was getting the hardscape in.
We needed this slate here
because this is what allows Beth-Anne
to know when she's coming.
'Cause she'll feel under her feet
that she's entering her garden.
-Ah! So smart.
-Remember, her sight's not so great.
So this needs to be
a sensory garden for her.
And you can smell, you can taste,
hear different things in the garden.
We're gonna
put some chimes on the pergola.
It is going to be everything.
-Can I eat this?
-[Nick] You could eat that, yeah.
-Okay. This is real basil.
-Pick it up!
Oh, my gosh.
Guys, I love you.
Less eating, more working.
Good point, Paige. Good point.
It's getting real right now.
["We Are The Party People"
by Clooney playing]
Sooner we get this done, sooner we can
get that cabinet on the wall.
We're running out of time.
-[man] Up in there.
-Yeah.
We can totally put it on the wall for now.
[man] Yeah.
[song continues playing]
[woman] Together, a bed.
We are the party people ♪
We set the bar
And we take it way too far ♪
[sighs] And Beth-Anne has a bed.
[song continues playing]
[Adair] Uh-oh.
Get this garbage out of here.
-Erik?
-Yo!
[Adair] This is my light for the nursery.
[Erik] Let's at least take a look.
Right behind you, guys.
[Adair] All right. Let me see.
[Erik] That's gonna be tight,
but we'll make it work.
-All right.
-[Erik] All right, buddy.
[Adair] I need you to finish
and get out of there.
-[Erik] We're almost done in here.
-Oh, my God, this
Just walk away.
[vehicle beeping]
You just tell me where.
-[upbeat music playing]
-Let's pinch those two up top.
So we're going with
a lot of shade perennials and evergreens.
[Paige] Okay.
Things that can tolerate
being under this canopy.
But come spring, these will be
beautiful whites and magentas,
and they'll stay green all year long.
[Paige] Good call.
-Good. Nice job, Paige.
-Thanks.
Some of these plants
are bigger than I had anticipated,
and these root systems
are causing a problem.
Oh, my God! Hit the panic button!
Hit the panic button!
I'm freaking out.
[phone ringing]
-Hey, Taylor.
-[on phone] Hey, Danielle.
I can't
I can't keep them at bay any longer.
I am getting requests from Ruby-Beth
and Mama to get home.
You sure you cannot
hold them off any more?
I will take the long way.
Taking the long way
might actually work here.
Um, this is what I want you to do.
I want you to meet me by the mailbox.
I'll be there waving,
you cannot miss me, okay?
-Okay.
-All righty?
Okay, and I'll make sure
I stay on everybody here.
All right. I'll talk to you later, bye.
Oh, my God. All right, everybody!
Um, the family's coming now!
-No, we're not ready!
-[Danielle] Yes!
I need you to be on it. Come on.
We don't have a lot of time.
[Paige] Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Yup, yup, yup.
Paige and, uh, Nick!
-[both] Hi, Danielle.
-The family's on their way.
-No way!
-They're on their way?
[Danielle] Yeah, I'm sorry.
I couldn't hold 'em off anymore.
-So, ahh! Don't stand there!
-[Nick] Yeah. Right.
You're working well, but I need you
to move a little faster, y'all!
-[Nick] Thanks, Danielle.
-You got it, you got it, you got it.
I believe in my team, the dream team!
Whoop-whoop!
I don't know.
[Taylor] Your seat belt here.
[Nick] Pop this down.
[tense music playing]
I am ready to be home.
[Nick] This is tough.
[Adair] Gotta take
all of these stickers off.
These stickers are driving me bonkers.
Actually, don't take this one, babe.
Go the long way.
Okay. Okay.
[tense music continues]
[Danielle] Oh, my gosh. Come on, man.
Let's move it!
[Nick] The icing on the garden cake
is our Farmstand.
Right there
There, good.
I can't wait to see
what's going on with the porch.
[Ruby-Beth] I know, I'm so curious.
Just trying to keep the porch
from falling in on itself.
[all laughing]
[Adair] Minutes left, you guys.
[Danielle] The Buitekants
are coming any minute now.
Any second,
they're about to see their new home.
-[Adair] Keep going, let's go!
-[Erik] Go, go, go!
[exclaims nervously]
[tense music building]
Okay.
The family is coming around the corner!
Come to me. Come to me. [squeals]
-[Beth-Anne] What is happening?
-What is happening?
-We are driving down a very full street.
-Uh, there are
There's a person
Ahh! Stop!
Hello, family!
[Danielle laughing]
-Let me go help Mama out the car.
-Oh, my gosh!
[Danielle] Hi, y'all!
[Ruby-Beth] Holy
I wanna be stronger ♪
Let out my roar
And tell the world that I'm wiser ♪
-[Danielle] Hi!
-Hi!
Let go my fears
You will hear me scream like ♪
[all greeting]
[Ruby-Beth] I was very overwhelmed
getting out of the car.
I started shaking pretty immediately.
I was stunned
by everything that was going on.
[Danielle] Hello, mom.
I know you hear a new voice.
-I am Danielle.
-Hi, Danielle.
I'm taking your hand if that's okay.
And we have something
very special for you.
[Beth-Anne] Okay.
Well, what are you doing here?
[all laughing]
I am the host of this new show,
my name is Danielle Brooks,
-And we have a a special treat for you.
-Hello.
-Um, Mama?
-Yeah.
-Our house looks completely different.
-[Danielle] Yes! Yes.
[Beth-Anne] Really?
What does it look like?
[triumphant music playing]
[Ruby-Beth laughs] This is
It doesn't even look like the same place,
but it must be.
Taylor has been my helpful accomplice
in all of this
to make sure that
you all stay away from the house.
There's been a lot of people here
working on your home in a day.
We thought we maybe
were getting the porch sanded.
-That was
-Oh, no, ma'am. Oh, no, ma'am.
[Ruby-Beth] I'm shocked. This is
gorgeous.
Well, just to
hear you say "gorgeous" is like
that's overwhelming.
It's overwhelming.
The shutters and the door,
and the windows,
and everything are these beautiful teal,
turquoise, and grays.
-[Beth-Anne] Ooh.
-And it just looks beautiful.
-I can't see it, but I can imagine it.
-[chuckling]
It just seemed unreal.
[emotional music playing]
[Danielle] I'm excited to show you
the inside of your home.
-Are you ready to go?
-Yes.
-[Danielle] Shall we do this?
-[Beth-Anne] Yes.
[Danielle] All right. Let's go.
[emotional music continues]
[Danielle] Mama, I'm going to put you
right here on your new loveseat.
[Ruby-Beth] It's a new and, like,
really fresh, beautiful-looking loveseat.
[Taylor] But your wicker style
is still here.
[Danielle] No holes in it.
-That feels good, don't it?
-[Beth-Anne] Yeah.
[Danielle] Yes! That's all yours, Mama.
[both laughing]
It's time for you two to share a moment.
Would you like to go see
the inside of your new house?
-Are you ready?
-We're ready.
-Okay! I'm gonna let you open the door.
-[Ruby-Beth] Okay.
And I'm gonna sit right beside you, Mama.
Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
-[Taylor laughs]
[laughing] What am I looking at?
Whose house is this?
[triumphant music playing]
-[Taylor] Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
-[Ruby-Beth laughing]
Look at this art.
I can't even tell where I am.
[sniffling]
[Ruby-Beth] Look at this table!
[triumphant music continues]
I couldn't believe anything.
I felt, like, a real,
true shock of how beautiful it was,
and how put together everything was.
-Your daughter's face is in shock.
-[Beth-Anne] Oh, that's grand.
-She's smiling so hard.
-[Beth-Anne laughing]
It looks probably her cheeks hurt.
-[sniffling] To your right.
-What?
[gasps] Oh, my gosh.
[triumphant music playing]
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
It was a completely new experience,
opening the door to my childhood bedroom.
I can't believe this room.
This is a room that two adults live in,
you know?
And it's beyond words,
perfect for our life.
[laughs and sniffles]
I guess, should we keep going?
How do I leave this perfect room?
[Taylor] Come here.
I just can't stop thinking about
[gasps] What?
-[emotional music playing]
-[Ruby-Beth] How?
-How is this possible?
-[Taylor] This came, it came in
-Where did this room come from?
-[Taylor] This was all clutter.
[emotional music continues]
[Ruby-Beth sobbing]
There's a changing station.
There's a little nursery
we've created and built.
It has a crib in there.
It has a changing table.
A baby room was one of the things that
has been on my back-of-my-mind list
as a problem.
And I open a drawer
and there's actual diapers in there.
It really started to feel incredibly real
and thrilling.
[Danielle] But let me
tell you something, ma.
You laid this foundation.
You planted the seeds, and now it is time
to receive the fruits of your labor.
-And now it's your turn.
-[sniffles] I'm ready. Okay.
It is time for you
to experience your new house!
-You are stepping into your new house.
-[Taylor] Your new house.
Into a blue door.
Yes! It's like a pastel color.
[Ruby-Beth] All right.
You're just about at the threshold.
[crying] Maybe we just need to
have some silence for a minute.
[Ruby-Beth] You want to take a minute?
[Beth-Anne] Silence is sacred.
And I really wanted us to hold the house
and all of us in the light.
And to continue the joy
that's occurred there.
[Danielle] New beginnings, Mama.
[Taylor] Same soul.
[Danielle] All goodness.
I was just so glad
that she was able to reel us all in
and be in charge of her home.
I was just really happy for her
and proud of her.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was a moment that was her.
Yeah.
-[Danielle] All good energy.
-Thank you.
[Ruby-Beth] Come on in.
[Ruby-Beth] So you're stepping onto
into the front room.
[Beth-Anne] Yeah.
It is now a very dark, like, royal blue.
-Ooh!
-The entire thing.
The house feels so fresh.
[Danielle] This is the bassinet
that your lovely grandchild will be in,
that you're gonna pick them up in.
-[Beth-Anne] Yeah.
-[Danielle] This is it.
[Beth-Anne] Oh, my.
Yeah, it's all miraculous.
[tranquil music playing]
You gonna have to learn this, Ma,
'cause this is your space.
We wanted it to be airy
and give you the freedom to move.
You're right, I can feel it.
[peaceful music playing]
[Ruby-Beth] It is just completely
different in terms of navigating,
you're gonna have a much easier time
walking around this room.
[peaceful music playing]
[Beth-Anne] Coming into my room
and just feeling the space,
there's a freshness
and a newness to it all.
It has the kind of bed that I
probably would never
have imagined myself having.
And it's also the height that I need,
as I was using a stool to get into my bed,
-and it was getting a little tippy.
-[laughing]
[Danielle] You are entering into
your new living room.
["Diamonds from Dust"
by The Aftershow playing]
-[Danielle] Ruby-Beth, your face!
-I mean, who's living room?
-[Danielle] This is yours!
-I hear the words you're saying.
It looks really cool.
-Does it?
-Yeah. It really does.
Oh, that's great. That's great.
It just is so open,
and it feels, like, so inviting.
[Danielle] I think it's time
to transition to the kitchen.
Whoa.
Now we're making diamonds from dust ♪
Saving all the best ones for us ♪
[incredulous] How did they do this?
[Taylor] So you're walking into
a boldly white kitchen.
Look at these counters.
-[Taylor] Wow.
-[Ruby-Beth] What?
[Taylor] Wow.
[Ruby-Beth] Just the amount of space.
It's like,
where did this space all come from?
It's so open and clean.
I never thought I would have
such an inviting kitchen in my life.
[Taylor] Oh, my God.
It just feels so big.
It looked so ready to have
somebody cook a meal in there.
So we wanted to make sure
that your house felt airy and warm,
especially the kitchen, and bright.
But we also added this feature
so that the house felt accessible,
and I want you to listen to this.
Alexa, what am I holding?
[automated voice] Let's see.

[automated voice] It looks like

-Hey!
-[Danielle] Wow!
[Ruby-Beth] That's so cool!
-Remarkable.
-[laughing]
[Danielle] That's right, Ms. Beth-Anne.
And we have these French doors
that lead directly to your new garden.
What?
Yes, ma'am, we busted a whole wall.
In the best way.
-[Beth-Anne] Really?
-Yes, ma'am!
[Beth-Anne crying] 'Cause we kinda
dreamed of something like that.
[Danielle] Oh!
Oh, that's incredible.
I just love French doors.
I love connecting the kitchen
with the out of doors.
It was really grand.
French doors right into the yard, Mama.
It's unbelievable.
[Danielle] And we're
gonna go out there right now.
I'm comin' home ♪
[Ruby-Beth] When she stepped out
into the garden,
and we're getting whiffs of basil
and some other herbs that were around,
and literal steps from the kitchen,
that was pretty special.
Where I belong, I'm comin' home ♪
[Danielle] We wanted to make sure
that this space felt,
um, not only visually pleasing,
which it is, Mama,
but we wanted to make sure that
you were able to experience this as well.
So it is very sensory
because there's a lot of basil out here.
-Yeah, there's wonderful smells.
-[Danielle] There's some thyme.
[Ruby-Beth] I actually noticed
an eggplant.
-Really?
-Planted in the garden already.
-I can't wait.
-[laughs]
We wanted to give you a space because
you've given so much to your community,
to your family.
You've planted seeds of love and care.
This is that moment that you get to have.
You did this.
[emotional music playing]
We wouldn't be in this situation
if it wasn't for you
and the values that you have,
and the way that you walk on the Earth,
and the way that you treat people.
Thank you for saying all that.
-[Danielle] Here they are, our team.
-Oh, my gosh!
[Ruby-Beth] These are the people
who did this, the designers.

-[Danielle] These are the designers!
[Taylor] Thank you, all.
Thank you guys so much.
Beth-Anne, my name is Paige,
and I am so, so honored
to have been a part of this.
This is phenomenal.
Hey, thank you guys so much.
It is It is perfect.
Yeah, we've just
never felt like that before.
There are people who make you feel seen.
When they came up, it was like
[crying softly] "You guys see us."
It's crazy.
[Beth-Anne] I should get a hug.
-[all laughing]
-[Danielle] Yes. I'm comin' from behind.
Let me give you a hug, much love to you.
-Thank you so much.
-All the best.
-Thanks for being here.
-Thank you for having us, but we gotta go!
[overlapping chatter]
-[Danielle] Enjoy, thank you!
-[Taylor] Thank you.
-[Paige] Bye, guys.
-[Danielle] Bye.
I can see us trying to keep our life
a little bit more inside the lines.
We're going to be living in the house
as opposed to fighting with the house.
We just get to live life with the baby.
