Flipping Out - Jeff Lewis - Episode 2-part2

Alright, the intermission is over and it's on to part 2, of episode 2 in the Jeff Lewis, ongoing saga.

The last time we saw Jeff, he was deeply wounded that Chris would leave the house before finding Monkey, the cat, in the bottom cupboard, tucked away in the back, to possibly die, before anyone could rescue him.

Jeff chewed Chris out, over the phone and is now talking to the camera, explaining to the world, an epiphany about Chris.

This is a video clip of the "lost cat" drama.



Mr. Lewis explains, he always thought that Chris was not very bright, dumb, in fact. But, now,... now he sees the light. It's more of a calculated plan to appear stupid, so Chris can ruin Jeff?

It is only now that Jeff truly appreciates Chris for what he truly is. A brilliant sociopath.

Stephen is "Assistant Housekeeper". Jeff tells him to get Monkey over to the vet's office for acupuncture. It is not an easy task for anyone to even approach this wolverine, masquerading as a feline, and old Steve is clearly nervous about this whole idea.

The cat, hisses and growls, scratches and bites at everyone and anything, as Steve tries to get Monkey into the cat box for the trip.

Stephen is really trying to be a good sport about this whole thing. In the car, on the way to the vet's office, Jeff calls him up to make sure he is talking to Monkey. Stephen explains, he was talking to him, until the cell rang. So, Jeff tells him he will hang up now, so Steve can resume his conversation with Monkey.

I thought I would stroke out, from laughing so hard, once they are at the vets.

This cat is from hell. Monkey was having nothing to do with any of it. This cat terrorized Stephen and the vet. They were both terrified of this devil called, Monkey.

Monkey went crazy on the vet. No acupuncture session happened.

On the way back from the vet's office, Steve's on the cell with Jenni, explaining what happened. Jeff didn't care about how Stephen was fairing at all, but he was worried about Monkey.

After the call, Stephen breaks, and begins to cry in the car.

Jenni and her boss arrive at one of the properties that Chris was supposed to give a cleaning to. Jeff is again pissed that it was not up to his inspection.

He goes off on Jenni, telling her, she will have to come back and do her husband's job for her.

We discover, no one is golden, not even Jenni. Jeff has fired her two, or three times before.

Back at home, Chris is informed that Jeff wants Chris to write out a formal apology to him, and that it will go in Chris' file.

Chris is brilliant, but no sociopath, like Jeff suggested earlier. Chris pulls out a stuffed mouse, cat toy for Monkey and starts playing with the cat.

It goes to Jeff. He softens and tells Chris, that it looks like Monkey forgives him, now what about him? Chris tells Jeff he'll have an apology letter for him to file, tomorrow.

Ya gotta love it.

In the end, you have to wonder why anyone would stick around this type of working environment, and then Jeff does something that seems so out of character for him to do.

It's Zoila's birthday and Mr. Lewis has thrown her a party, inviting family and friends.
She is clearly touched and so am I. I did not think this self centered jerk had it in him.

Jeff Lewis Orders An OCD Over Ice

From the first episode. Yeah, Jeff, it seems you do have an affliction, or two, or more.

It's another update, compilation from the first episode, with a quick run through about
what makes Jeff tick.

Flipping Out-Jeff Lewis - Episode 2 part 1

If you haven't seen episode 2 yet, it aired last night. Yes, it is as crazy as the premier that aired last week.



Now that Jeff has acquired another house to renovate, he is running short on cash and has to put up his current abode to sell. They had a prayer circle over this issue, last episode, with Tori, Jeff's psychic, leading the prayer circle.

Now that Brandt is gone, his position needs to be filled and Chris, the official "Trashman", puts himself up for this task. So now, Chris has been designated, "Third Assistant". This is also on top of his other title of, "Trashman".

Here is a video clip that recounts this incident, along with some other brief moments from the episode.

Episode 101

You have to like Chris, but I don't know what he is thinking, by putting himself more into the fire. By his own admission, Chris has been fired, four or five times by Jeff. Jeff claims it's more.

They are holding an open house. Chris is dressed in his suit and staying as "house security". It's his job to ensure that no one runs off with the china, and that the pets are ok, while Jeff and the rest of the staff are out.

Later, it's Ryan, the business partner, and Jeff at yet, another property.

Pedro is looking after this property and informs Jeff and Ryan, he has heard footsteps on the stairs, when no one is there.

Jeff deadpans to the camera and explains, they have been through this type of thing before.

Spirits that occupy his properties?

Jeff tells us that an exorcism will have to be performed at this house.

Jeff makes this statement in the spirit of it being, just another inconvenience; like someone having to call Terminex, to kill off some roaches.

I'm anxious to see if Jeff has a priest on retainer for just this sort of thing, or if Tori, the psychic will be called upon to say a few words.

I can see her doing it now.

"Hmmmm...........I see a man.......he's from the tenth dimension.......name is Zoltar the Rebublican........hmmmm.....he says,....he says......he will leave this house, when you give Tori one of your homes.........hmmmmm.........

Just having some fun. Tori probably is a very good psychic.

Personally, I hope they do a crossover episode on the Sci-Fi Network and pull in T.A.P.S. for this chore. I want their take on Jeff.

At yet, another property that is still in escrow, they have a problem with the former owner, Dr. Tony. He has yet to start packing to leave. The property will be officially Jeff's in a few days and they are worried that the Doctor will still be hanging out, slowing up production.

Back at the homestead, the house showing is over and Chris is stocking bottled water and lets Monkey, the cat, get away from him.

Jeff is on his cell, talking to Chris. Monkey cannot be found. Chris had to leave to keep a date with an outside project he is involved with, but promises Jeff he'll go back to the house later to find the cat.

Jeff is "Flipping Out". He can't believe that Chris just up and left the house without first, finding his precious Monkey. He drops his present plans and heads back home, very disgusted and pissed at Chris.

Back at the house, it's Zoila, the housekeeper, that finds Monkey under the sink. The cat has been boxed into the back of the cupboard, by all of the bottled water that Chris stocked earlier.

Of course, Jeff is considers firing Chris over this. He asks Zoila, if he should fire Chris. She says no.

Jeff is blasting Chris, over the phone. "You bailed! You bailed!" But, Jeff doesn't fire him.


I get a real feeling that the drama never, ever stops. These clashes between Jeff and his employees have to be the norm. As an employee of Jeff Lewis', one has to wonder if you ever become immune, or does Jeff just keep raising the stakes until, like Brant, you finally reach a limit and don't care what happens any longer.

Episode 2 - part 2 will be posted later today.
