MPDP appears clad in red jeans and a grey hooded sweatshirt. She's doing the intro from a fish market. She stops in front of a sign that says "Fat Crab." They're in Seattle. She remarks that the city's known for coffee, but it's their mutual oenophilia that's glued these two couples together. Okay, she doesn't actually say "oenophilia." We see a shot of Bob and Sandy and Chris and Kasey, having some red wine in a living room. MPDP adds that they spend a lot of time together helping each other with home-improvement projects. Back to the fish market: a fishmonger heaves a big fish at MPDP, who catches it and plops it on a scale. The "whale of a team" that will be featured in this episode is Vern, Laurie, and Ty, the last of whom is wearing, over a baseball cap, some sort of Alpine toque with little fake braids attached. Back to MPDP: Fishmonger A hurls another flounder (or whatever) over her head to Fishmonger B as MPDP squeals. After the inevitable remarks about "bigger fish to fry," we move on to the homeowners' neighbourhood.

We see a little blue sports car (a Porsche, I think -- I care about cars about as much as I care about sports) zipping around a curving street, and then Chris and Kasey are interviewed standing beside it in their driveway. Chris says that he thinks the most important changes would be to add colour and warmth, maybe reds or burgundy. The shot of the bedroom shows it has white walls, beige carpet, a white wooden garden bench, two narrow IKEA-esque pine chests of drawers, a wicker laundry hamper, and a large twig wreath on the wall above the bench. What I think must be their closet is covered with a sheer white curtain with a pattern of solid squares. It looks like the ceiling has recessed lights. The bed has a blue and white checkerboard quilt at the end and a blue coverlet. Chris wants to see some contrast and character. Chris says to Kasey that he knows she's not a big contrast person. She says she agrees with the need for colour. The next shot shows the bed, which has no headboard but a few pillows stacked on it. There are tiny pine night tables on each side, with small black modern lamps, and two sconces just above each corner of the bed. Kasey would like dark, warm colours, and something simple: she doesn't like a lot of clutter. She wants a classy, elegant look, and says that "less is more."

Bob and Sandy's living room looks better than many of the "afters" I've seen on this show. It's maybe a bit blah but it's not hideous or anything. They've got a hardwood floor, walls that looks like a soft yellow colour (although it could be tan), a three-seater couch in a kind of brownish tweedy fabric placed opposite a window, and a matching love seat placed perpendicular to the three-seater. The love seat's opposite the fireplace, which is white with a red brick inset. Above the couch is a painting of pears in shades of green, mustard, and dark red. There's a tall reddish-brown wood armoire in the corner next to the fireplace, and a small window in the corner of the wall perpendicular to the other side of the fireplace. Both windows have tab curtains in a neutral colour on them. There's a simple wooden coffee table. Away from the seating area and near the door, there's a large wine cabinet. Above the wine cabinet is a large mirror framed in gold. Bob says that they're not happy with the flow of the room, and mentions that the wine cabinet takes up a lot of space. Sandy says they like the colour of the walls, but they got a new painting this year that has a lot of colours in it that they like, and she thinks that maybe the yellows or burgundies of the painting could be incorporated. She feels the room is crowded and cramped and they'd like to see the furniture rearranged. Bob says that if things don't go well, "Chris would be very understanding; Kasey, on the other hand, might freak out a bit, but that's okay, we knew that going into this. We hope she'll handle it pretty well." So unless you're completely new to the way these shows are edited, you already know Kasey's not going to be happy. Back to Kasey, who's drying off the sports car with a plush towel: "I think that the four of us have such a great relationship that doing it together is what's the fun part."
