MPDP appears from behind a tree in a wooded area, wearing jeans and a sleeveless black t-shirt with little letters stuck on the front that read "I [heart] NY." The shirt has a kind of Velcro area on it where you can stick little letters, which I assume come with the shirt. I like it. I have a major thing about word and letter forms and collect them in many forms: refrigerator magnets, antique alphabet blocks, surplus Scrabble game pieces, Magnetic Poetry kits, you name it. If it's got words I like on it, or letters that can be moved around, I'll probably buy it. Anyway, her t-shirt will be conveying various information during this episode, in addition to that which we usually get about the state of her cute figure. New 'do: longish bangs swept to each side, and the back of her hair is kind of flipped up at the ends, but not wingy. Hair is also very cute. She tells us that two master bedrooms will be made over.

We see a shot of the two couples playing outside with their young kids. Two of them, Amy and Brian, are lawyers. (There's just a pantload of legal clichés and metaphors in this intro, and throughout the ep, so hold on to your briefs.) The other couple are described as Cousin Phil and wife Amy, although which two are cousins isn't specified. From how annoyingly argumentative Phil and Amy #1 are, I'll take a gander on the two of them being blood kin (although Brian and Phil have more physical resemblance). And: two homeowners named Amy, and Amy Wynn's the carpenter? This should be fun. Speaking of the carpentry goddess, Amy Wynn drives up in a big-ass truck with Doug and Gen standing up in the back. They are going to demonstrate the peaceful coexistence of city funk and country charm, or some such. Doug's wearing a clingy, short-sleeved black button-front shirt, black athletic pants (the tearaway kind, I believe), and thongs. That's thongs, plural, as in footwear, not thong, singular as in...as if I know what he's wearing there! Though I know quite a lot of you would like to have that information.

We see a shot of Phil and Amy's bedroom, which has pale walls, strip hardwood flooring in very good condition, modern storage units (one of which is built in) in a few different wood tones and various sizes, and a bed without a headboard. The bed has white sheets and a pale sage green coverlet. There's a small nightstand on one side and a folding table on the other. There's also a small upholstered wing-style chair, looks like probably a swivelling rocker, in beige, across from the end of the bed. The room is kind of L-shaped: when you come in the door, there's a mirrored closet to your left, and then a short, wide, hallway kind of space before you come into the main area of the room. It's sort of like a hotel room, which I personally don't like. It seems like a lot of wasted space. What's with the layouts in some of these houses? At the other end of the room, judging by the reflection in the mirror, are some glass doors that open outside onto a deck. There's a small window next to the bed with vertical blinds. It's very plain but is certainly a pretty good starting point compared to lots of rooms on this show: everything in the room is in very nice condition. Frankly, even as plain as it is, it already looks better than half the "afters" on this show. Phil and Amy say they haven't done anything with this room, and that it has no design direction. They'd like to see a "real bed" with a real headboard. Phil would like "clean lines." Amy says they're fine with having the stain changed on the built-in storage unit, but Phil would like it if the other team avoided painting them. In the next shot, we see a chest of drawers in a very dark tone opposite the bed, with a TV on top, and a free-standing full-length mirror in the corner near the glass doors. Amy says she likes warm colours, and Phil likes light, airy colours, but they basically agree on earthy colours. Phil suggests something like a light sage. They're looking for a bedroom that has a calm feel. So...basically, the same thing they've already got. Except more intense. But not too intense.
