As the episodes go on, Tori and Dean are pulling more and more copycat scenes from The Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. In this episode, renovations begin on the B&B on a budget of course. It kicks off with Tori and Dean attending a seminar for B&B proprietors so they can get a crash course in running such a property. Here they learn among other things what types of appliances to put in their B&B, Chateau La Rue and what types of chores they need to do daily. Tori doing chores? Not gonna happen, she says.

Full episode recap if you dare after the jump.

At the B&B conference, Tori and Dean speak with a woman who is giving advice on how to turn a profit. Things don't look good for the couple as they reveal they only have four rooms. The woman says, ideally you need 7 rooms with private baths if you want to start making money.

Nevertheless, the couple plunge forward with the renovations process with another voice-over reminder from Tori about how they dropped their life savings into this B&B and really need it to succeed. Blah blah blah.

The couple invite designers Robert Ives and Mike Valles to give the property a once-over (described by Ives as "horrible.") The group comes upon Tori's favorite/most hated room that is literally exploding with wall-to-wall floral decor. Tori reminisces about childhood saying that her mother when she found a wallpaper that she loved would match everything in the room to it, from the bedspread to the curtains to the floors. Yuck, that is total Mommy abuse!

After selling the old gross B&B furniture to an auction, the couple need to move out to a trailer while renovations are being done. Insert whiny Jessica voice about how scary the trailer is and how she needs to sleep with the lights on.

Meanwhile during renovation, the couple find ants, Tori has her infamous battle with the bathroom poop, and the couple stresses about going over the budget.

Still the couple decides to suck it up and pay for an interior/exterior paint job (i.e. Oxygen agrees to pay for it.) Side note: We think Tori may have been inspired by her poop-plunger battle as the B&B gets painted a crappy shade of brown.

Unfortunately for Tori, when the painters and plumbers come it's the same time that Dean has to go to Toronto to visit his son, Jack. But have no fear, all the renovations get completed, not too far over budget and Dean returns home to find Tori and B&B intact. Tori even manages to spend a night with friends at a hotel and gets the nursery decorated courtesy of Nursery Couture.

Up next week, Tori and Dean plan the opening gala and Dean gets pissed at paparazzi.

Annoying Tori Moments:
· While practicing ironing at the B&B conference, she acts like its intercourse.
· When talking about women and floral decor, Tori says, "The only flower [men] want to see is down there, not on the walls!"
· Tori and Dean crash a lamaze class in Fallbrook.
· Tori asks, "What's a dropcloth?"
· Tori freaks out when paint gets on her hair extensions.
· Tori puts paint mask on upside down so it covers her eyes.

Sad Dean Moments:
· The B&B conference welcome packet spelled his first name wrong.
· He moves their stuff into the trailer in his boxers and uggs. But his legs look good.
