Jeff Lewis is back in action with the seventh season of the thrilling reality show Flipping Out. In the eighth episode titled "Out of Bounds," Jeff's business partner, Jenni Pulos, has taken the reins of the renovation project for a luxury resort in Utah while Jeff remains in Los Angeles to tend to his usual business and family affairs.

The episode begins with Jenni and her team, which include contractor Joe and designer Megan, visiting the resort to finalize some details and ensure that the work is progressing as planned. Jeff's absence from the project has been making Jenni anxious, but she's determined to prove that she's capable of handling such a large-scale project.

As they inspect the site, Jenni notices that the workers are behind schedule and that certain finished areas need a lot of touch-ups. Her frustration grows when it becomes apparent that the contractor's team isn't working at the necessary pace to deliver the project on time.

Meanwhile, Jeff is dealing with his own set of challenges in Los Angeles. He's preparing to meet his mother, who lives in New York and is coming for a visit.

However, Jeff is determined to make the most of her visit and show her that he's in a good place personally and professionally.

Back at the resort, tensions rise as friction builds between Jenni and contractor Joe when she feels that he's not doing enough to keep the project on track. To make matters worse, Jenni and the design team are not seeing eye to eye on every issue, and this leads to further delays and disagreements.

Jenni is starting to feel overwhelmed, and she knows that Jeff's input would be valuable right about now. She decides to give him a call to update him on the situation. Jeff is sympathetic to Jenni's concerns but is still preoccupied with his own worries for his mother's visit and his home project.

As the deadline draws closer, things continue to spiral out of control. The resort's opening date is imminent, but there's still a lot of work to be done. The contractor Joe is finally able to make progress, but it comes at a price that Jenni is not thrilled about.
