Rudy's latest flip is a cute starter home in LA's Mount Washington neighborhood. It's any easy renovation job, but marketing could pose a challenge. The house sits right on the border of an area that has, in the past, been plagued by crime. The neighborhood is on the upswing, but still struggles to overcome it's rough reputation. Rudy pays cash for the house and predicts a 2 week flip--it's so easy, he heads to Hawaii for a little vacation with his kids, leaving Carlos and Mary in charge. While Rudy relaxes in paradise the crew back home has to deal with all of the standard construction problems, plus an earthquake. Rudy returns, but is thrown off course by shooting just blocks from the house. A police officer has been killed, leaving behind a wife and children. Rudy is devastated and must now calculate how this tragedy might affect the neighborhood, and his investment.

Armando and Veronica face-off in a flipping war with their latest acquisition. When team Montelongo disagrees over how to put their limited renovation dollars to the best use, Veronica and Randy unite against Armando and Brent. Armando lets his competitive zeal get the best of him and allows the house to be split down the middle and turned into a battleground. The stakes are high: the loser must dye his or her hair blonde. Thinking he has it in the bag, Armando totally underestimates the problems on his side of the house--mold, rotten framing and a flooded garage are a few of the major issues he has to tackle. Veronica and Randy are in charge of a kitchen that has to be rehabbed and poor scheduling leads to some very big headaches. With both sides struggling to flip the house on time and under budget, it's up to Armando to bring everyone together and prove that while competition may motivate people, only team work gets the job done.
