Ep 5. Unexpected Help

In the fifth episode of Flip It Like Disick's first season titled "Unexpected Help," lead star Scott Disick and his team face unexpected challenges in their latest renovation project. As always, the episode opens with Scott introducing the viewers to the team's next project, a sprawling mansion in Malibu owned by a client who wishes to keep their identity secret.

Scott makes it clear that the priority of this renovation job is to turn a section of the house into an entertainment space by adding a bar and a movie theater, among other amenities. The team gets to work almost immediately, but they soon realize that this project is not going to be as easy as they initially thought. According to Scott, it's because the house is in a state of disrepair, with mold and leaks being just a few of the issues the team has to tackle.

To make things worse, the client decides to make changes to their initial renovation plans after the team has already begun work. The client's decision means that the team has to work extra hours to accommodate these new plans, which don't necessarily align with their vision.

Regardless of the challenges they face, Scott and his team are determined to complete the project on time and to the client's satisfaction. However, they soon receive some unexpected help that throws a wrench into their plans. It turns out that Scott's longtime extended family and friends are also men of the trades, and they offer to pitch in to ensure that the renovation is completed on schedule.

The episode takes a turn as Scott invites his grandfather, David, and dear friend, Miki Mor to join the team. It's an unexpected move that proves to be worth its weight in gold. David, an 86-year-old former contractor, lends a hand in overseeing the plumbing and electrical components of the project. Miki assists in the project's design and manages to add an exterior fountain and a massive sliding glass door that eases furniture movement in and out of the house.

Scott's decision to bring in his family and friends proves to be the unexpected twist that the team needed to get the project back on track. The team thrives with the newfound help, and it's clear that they're energized not just by the extra pair of hands, but the shared history and camaraderie between them.

Throughout the episode, viewers get to see how the family dynamics at play between Scott, David, and Miki haven't stirred up a conflict that somehow affects the project. Instead, it's clear that they're in sync and work seamlessly together, and this seems to inspire the rest of the team. The episode takes us through the highs and lows of the renovation until it successfully concludes on time and to the satisfaction of the anonymous client.

In conclusion, "Unexpected Help" is an episode that showcases how experiences and family history can come together to create an impactful renovation process. The familial bond between Scott, David, and Miki is apparent throughout the episode and adds a heartwarming layer to the entire project. In this episode, the show's viewers get to see how the seemingly impossible can be conquered if only we approach it with the right mindset and a willingness to lend a hand.
