Ep 2. Pajamas and Other Games

As the title suggests, episode 2 of season 3 of Flipping Out, titled "Pajamas and Other Games," delves into some lighthearted moments but also showcases the stress of working in the high-stakes world of real estate and home design.

The episode kicks off with Jeff Lewis visiting a potential new property to flip for his business, Jeff Lewis Design. However, the appraisal comes in lower than anticipated, and Lewis is forced to consider whether the investment is worth it or not.

Meanwhile, Lewis's assistant, Jenni Pulos, is tasked with organizing a pajama party for Lewis's clients as a way to showcase the house they just renovated. The ever-organized Pulos runs into some challenges as the caterer cancels last minute, and she must scramble to find a replacement. But she manages to pull off a successful event, complete with a piñata and a game of Twister.

However, the fun and games aren't limited to the pajama party. Lewis also participates in a charity poker tournament with his team, but tensions rise as Lewis's behavior becomes increasingly high-strung and volatile.

The show also features other members of the Jeff Lewis Design team, including project manager Zoila Chavez and design assistant Trace Lehnhoff. Chavez is shown struggling with a chronic health condition, while Lehnhoff is tasked with sourcing materials for another renovation project, but must navigate tricky client and vendor relationships.

Overall, "Pajamas and Other Games" showcases the ups and downs of working in the high-pressure world of home design and renovation. While there are moments of humor and levity, there are also moments of tension and stress as the team works to balance creative vision with business realities.
