The couple's Victorian home, built in 1897, has plenty of character, but it also comes with a lot of issues. The foundation is in serious need of repair, and there are cracks in the walls and floors throughout the house.

Hilary's challenges include addressing outdated plumbing and electrical systems, as well as a leaky roof. She has to get creative with her design plan to make it work with the dwindling budget.

Meanwhile, David is exploring different neighborhoods and homes with Chris. They view multiple properties, including a brand new townhome, a modern home with plenty of space, and a more traditional home that has some of the character that Christina loves from their current home. David shows Chris the potential of what a new home could look like, but Chris is hesitant to leave the charm and character of their current home.

As the renovation and house hunting continue, tensions rise between the couple.
