Ep 1. What the Flip!

In the season 8 premiere of Flipping Out titled "What the Flip!," Jeff Lewis and his team return for another season of flipping houses and taking on their usual antics. The episode starts with Jeff and his long-time assistant, Jenni Pulos, on a trip to New York City to explore a new venture - flipping apartments. Jeff has been thinking about branching out from doing houses exclusively and believes there is a lot of potential in the New York City real estate market.

While in New York, Jeff and Jenni meet with a real estate agent to see potential properties that they could flip. However, they quickly find out that the market in New York is entirely different from what they're used to in Los Angeles. The properties are smaller, often in need of serious renovation, and sell for much higher prices.

Back in Los Angeles, Jeff is dealing with a house flip that he's been working on for several months and is starting to run into problems. The house is in a desirable area, and Jeff has been trying to make it stand out by designing an impressive outdoor space. However, the landscaping is taking much longer than expected, and Jeff is beginning to become agitated with the situation.

As the deadlines for the house flip start to creep up, Jeff and his team must scramble to finish everything on time. Jeff relies heavily on his trusted team members, especially his house manager, Zoila, who has been with him for over a decade. Zoila is hard at work managing the construction team and making sure that everything is running smoothly.

In addition to the stress of the house flip, Jeff is also dealing with some personal issues. He and his partner, Gage, are trying to adopt a child, and Jeff is feeling the pressure of the process. He's worried that his lifestyle, which is often chaotic and unpredictable, will be a hindrance to their adoption process. He confides in Jenni about his worries, and she provides him with some sage advice.

Overall, "What the Flip!" sets up what promises to be another exciting season of Flipping Out. With Jeff and his team facing new challenges and taking on new ventures, viewers can expect plenty of drama and laughs in the episodes to come.
