Original subtitles

I'm goin' to Challis, Idaho.

You're gonna die.

I'm about to step into someone else's life.

I can't believe I get to be a real housewife.

I'm having breakfast made for me.

Sounds like a vacation.

Oh, my God.

Oh, and she has a bidet.

This is a whole new world for me.

Oh, my God. Oh, sh--.

Have you ever gutted a fish before?

No, no, no.

- This is where I'll shower? - Yeah.

I thought she's probably gonna think that

I am just so vain.

This kind of made me realize that.

- What are you doing? - Cleaning.

She's re-cleaning what I've already cleaned.

Yeah, wait. Uh, everything was clean.

Is it, though? Am I OCD,

or am I just a person that has a gift of making things perfect?

It's a gift most of the time.

- I'm Angie Katsanevas. - I'm Shawn.

We have one daughter, Elektra, and we live here

in Salt Lake City.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed movie night,

and I get to clean up.

It takes a lot for me to keep the house

running the way that it does.

I love to cook.

I love to keep my home perfect.

I am hustling from sun up to sun down.

Can I show you my trick? Set it down.

Being the bossy Greek wife that I am,

I find that sometimes Shawn doesn't do things

just the way I like it.

There you go. See how beautiful?

So, I just get in there and do it myself,

so I know it's done right. There you go.

- Thank you. - Go eat your breakfast.

There you go.

Angie, you know, when she gives direction,

you kind of start to feel like

there's maybe some micromanagement that happens.

I did put my sunscreen on.

You've never done this before. Stop.

Rinse it off right away 'cause see all the green goop

in there?

Some people run on the treadmill.

Some people run their mouth.

Look, that is why my fa-- I haven't had a facelift,

and I look pretty good for my age,

and it's just all the muscles just being worked

from talking all day.

The sunglass choice are very important.

I've got a little bit of bags 'cause I'm tired,

so I might go with something bigger.

I've always loved fashion. It makes me feel expensive.

Like, one time, I saw a bill for a $12,000 dress.

Yeah, I think it was a Schiaparelli dress.

I think that was kinda stupid.

Elektra and myself, we have a really good rapport.

No.

She pushes boundaries with me a little bit.

- Get off your phone. - No.

- Give me your phone. - No, you're being rude.

I feel like I'd be closer with my mom

if she would tone it down a little bit.

Elektra tells me to chill all the time.

She's like, "Mom, chill." But if I chill the F out,

our lives would probably fall apart.

I love you. I love our time together.

Mom, no.

I don't feel like Angie has any chill.

The struggle for her is just being able to

just kind of sit together, hang out as a family.

For me, that's precious time.

Mom, do you wanna go get boba?

Uh, you know what?

I've got to do a bunch of laundry.

I've got a couple of quick phone calls to make, too.

Okay, we'll try to wait.

I wish Angie would join us in that a little bit more.

I'm hoping, from this swap, that Angie can learn

it is okay to chill out. Let's go.

I'm doing this swap because I don't feel Shawn and Elektra

really appreciate me.

I want them begging me back.

That's what I want, begging, like, groveling.

Cut.

Let's rake this a little bit, and we can plant

those onions right there.

Living off-grid is living in an ancestral way of life,

and that is what is important to me.

Dad, look at this.

Whoa, that is a serious mudball, Hazel.

- I'm Lindsay. - My name is Tanner.

Ready, let's roll. Bridger is our oldest,

Wyatt is our middle child,

and then we have Hazel.

- And baking soda. - Whee!

We ended up kinda doing the standard

American Dream thing, and we bought a house.

It was a nice house. We had running water.

We had showers. We had a washer and dryer.

Society has this box that they want us in,

and we are definitely outside of that box now.

It kinda started with I got diagnosed

with rheumatoid arthritis, and going to the doctors,

and them wanting to just put me on a pill.

Come on, Twix.

I decided to eat, like, a anti-inflammatory diet.

That led us toward this type of a lifestyle,

- growing our own food. - And I felt instantly better.

So, we moved away from suburbia.

- Watch for snakes. - Especially for rattlesnakes.

Yeah.

And we are so much more fulfilled here.

The closest person is probably four miles away.

It takes us a good 30 minutes to get to town.

We're not tied to any type of power grid at all.

We have our own solar system out here,

and then we have composting type of toilet.

We have no running water.

Oh, these ruthless little savages.

We changed our mindset to having less.

Water the plants, not my feet.

Having more experiences in the dirt with our kids

- than buying them toys. - We got some squash.

I'm hoping, by doing this swap,

I can show another family a different way of living,

connecting to the land.

Who better to teach those values to

than to a Real Housewife?

I think they probably need it the most.

Um, rich and a little brat.

Why?

Because rich people are little brats.

What if you go into some fancy house,

and it's amazing, and you're gonna be like,

why am I going back to this dump?

Did you want some feta cheese?

Are you not loving feta cheese anymore?

I have a block of it in here.

Oh, my gosh, I just got a message

with my location.

Guys, I'm goin' to Challis, Idaho.

- Oh, looks beautiful. - Does it?

Well, it's ranch country.

You'll, like, become a wrangler at a dude ranch.

- A wrangler at a dude ranch? - Mm-hmm.

- Do you think I'd be a fit? - I know you'd suck.

I've been an outdoorsman myself.

Her idea of roughing it is The Four Seasons.

You're gonna die.

Who wants to find out where I'm going?

- Me. - Me.

- Good. - You found out? Oh.

Welcome to Salt Lake City.

Let's see if we can figure out who we think it'll be.

- Lisa Barlow, maybe? - Lisa.

- Should we go pack? - Yeah.

- You guys wanna go help me? - Okay, I'll help you pack.

I'm gettin' a new wife.

I'm gonna be, like, a natural fit for this place.

Where in the world are my cowboy boots?

Yeehaw!

Can I just come with you?

I wanna go to some rich lady's house.

You can love Mrs. Challis, but you can't love her

- more than me. Cuddle. - No, no. Ow.

I-I can't believe I'm going on this adventure

without you guys.

- I think my mom is cooked. - I think she's cooked, too.

I wish you could.

- Bye, mom. - Bye, guys.

- Bye. - Love you.

- See you guys soon! - There she goes.

Bye, mom!

Here we go. I'm nervous.

It's gettin' real. It's kinda scary.

Okay, we passed the first house

I've seen for miles.

Who lives out here in the middle of nowhere?

Is this it? Look at their view.

Is it God's country or, oh, my God?

Oh, my goodness.

Welcome home. It's like an adventure.

I'm definitely overdressed and underprepared.

Hi. I don't wanna leave this front step.

It's so perfect. What do I do?

Do I take my shoes off? Huh?

Wait, I gotta figure out who this is first.

Is that Angie?

Oh, dear.

This place is giving scary,

like, "The Hills Have Eyes" scary.

Wow. This is old.

Is this my husband or a piece of art?

One, two, three children-- wife looks sweet.

What is this?

I don't wanna touch buttons.

Huh.

What are we, killing our own meat around here?

It just keeps going. Oh!

It's so fancy and so perfect,

and this is a whole new world for me.

Is the floor heated?

How does she have this nice a bathroom?

Oh.

It's nice to have the amenities.

Oh, and she has a bidet. Okay, I've never used a bidet.

But, also, be conscientious about the amount of water I use

because I'm not gonna abandon my values

to live in this fancy house and fancy world.

Oh, a bathroom.

Pop socket to open the toilet. Oh, my God.

Wait a minute. Is there running water here?

What in the world is this?

Oh, my God, there's poop in there!

Oh, God. One toilet

and not really having running water to that toilet,

that was a little, um, alarming.

How in the hell do you flush?

I have a little bidet at home

and an automatic flusher on my toilet,

so I don't dare use the restroom for the next three days.

Oh, my gosh, I wonder what she does in all these.

Oh, my goodness, these glasses,

I have to try these on.

Oh, my gosh, what would she wear these for?

- Oh, we got it. - Oh, my God.

Wait, Little Bo Peep with her sheep.

- Hello, my little sheep! - It's your sheep.

I would wear these dirt biking or mountain biking.

Who needs this many glasses?

It just seems a little excessive.

Are these the rules? It's so fancy.

Oh, it's a scroll! Oh, my goodness.

Here's a few things that I'd like an apology for.

So, number one...

"Welcome. Together with Shawn,

I'm handing you over my greatest treasure,

my home and my family." That's sweet.

"I take pride in both."

"Welcome to my home.

You might have noticed our home is unique,

and we live off-grid."

Well, I sure did.

"We hit the ground running at 7:00 a.m.

You'll want to be dressed and ready for your morning workout

with Shawn.

After the gym, it's time to head to the salon."

Makes me really nervous

thinking I have to get all dolled up

to put myself into Angie's life because part of our journey

to move off-grid was to leave this life behind

of what society tells you they think is beautiful.

"I hope you leave with a new understanding

of what peace can look like."

Wow.

- Well, honey, I'm home. - Hi.

- Hi. - Welcome.

- Hi, Tanner. - Hi. What's your name?

I'm a hugger. My name is Angie.

- Do-do we hug? - Oh, good,

- 'cause I'm a hugger, too. Yes. - Oh, whoa.

- Oh, your dog is a hugger, too. - Oh, sorry.

- Are you Bridger? - Yeah.

Do you-- can I give you a hug?

Oh, my goodness, thank you.

Are you Hazel? Oh, my goodness.

- Do you wanna come say hi? - Can I give you a hug?

May I?

When I first saw Angie, I thought, what the heck?

- Yeah, this is Twix. - Hi. Nice to meet you.

What is she doing out here?

Oh, my goodness, you all give such great hugs.

And I love your hair.

- Hi, there. - Hi.

- How are you? - Good. I'm Lindsay.

Shawn Trujillo-- nice to meet you.

- Shawn? - Yeah.

- Nice to meet you. - This is Elektra.

- Hello. Nice to meet you. - Elektra, I'm Lindsay.

It looks like you've meet Celia,

- and this is Faust. - Yeah, she's Celia.

She definitely has a granola outdoorsy kinda vibe.

I think Lindsay is a VIP at REI.

I'm sorry. I, like, snooped in your house

- and walked around. - Oh, that's okay.

- That's okay. - I love your room.

Thank you.

It's nicer than my whole house.

Oh, is that my room?

This is your room, the master suite.

Oh, can I get comfortable and just put on some sneakers

- and take my heels off? - Okay, let's do that.

So, are you guys ranchers?

We bought a cabin to homestead in it.

- Okay. - What does homestead mean?

We're homesteading, so, like,

we're gonna grow our own food, have our own animals,

so we don't even have running water.

- Oh, okay, okay. - Oh, gotcha.

- Oh, wow. - So, your mom

is not gonna have running water.

That's gonna be--

that's gonna be interesting, huh?

I think she's gonna wanna come home.

- You ready? - You ready to get a tour of the house?

- Yeah. - Yes!

I wanna see your property. There's so much of it.

This is our main heat source, a big wood stove.

- Wow. - That was-that was a tough one.

This is the water that you can drink.

And where do we get this water from?

From our spring.

The spring is all the way down the hill.

We have to go and get five gallon buckets,

then carry 'em up here, and fill this up,

and this is 50 gallons, so it takes a while.

I'm wondering why Tanner and Lindsay

made this choice for their family.

- It is extreme. - That door.

Oh, is this another way outside?

- Yeah, show her the way. - Okay, show me the way.

I better get my sunglasses on.

- So, is this all your property? - Yeah.

Tanner, where do I shower here?

- The-the tub. - The tub, wow.

What?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

So, will I-- this is where I'll shower

- and wash my hair? - Yeah.

This is where I'll shower and wash my hair?

- Yeah. - It's kinda the only option.

Or, you can go to the hot springs.

Uh, I'm used to a nice, big, beautiful shower.

- Okay, wow. - Let's go show Angie

a little piece of our paradise up the road.

Can you see okay?

Oh, yeah, I'm ready.

Okay, buckle up, guys. I won't go too fast.

Oh, wow, it's beautiful.

- Yeah, 360 degree views. - Yes, it is.

- Whoo-hoo! - You're a good driver.

You're a good leader for us.

Yeah, good job driving, Bridger.

A little spot-- a little paradise.

Look at this, guys.

Can you believe you live up here?

Oh, my goodness, that is so beautiful.

Thank you. Oh, my!

I love being needed as a mother.

Those are the best years of my life

is, like, being on the ground with my daughter

and bonding with her.

Oh, there's deer poop.

Just being back in this environment,

with small children that want my attention,

it feels really good.

I love how Hazel loves you already.

Oh, I'm so happy. Thank you.

And that is such a-- like, take that as a big compliment.

Thank you. I've got a teenager at home,

and she's, you know, pulling away a bit.

Yeah.

And these kids wanting me to play with them

or hang out with them, it's fun,

and you miss those days, and it's short-lived.

Coming here is so opposite of my life on the daily.

I mean, you guys are so off-grid.

What was that pivotal moment for you guys that you just said,

"Let's pack it up, and let's do it?"

Lindsay had gotten diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

- Oh, wow. - And, so--

and so, she learned she would need to make major,

uh, diet changes, and that's a big reason

why we like to grow our own food and-and live here

so that we can come up here and hunt.

Like, where we're sitting, right now,

- is amazing hunting ground. - Wow.

Talking to Tanner, it's helped me

wrap my head around their lifestyle more.

Oh, hey, little girl.

That's a pretty one. Oh, my goodness.

But it wouldn't hurt if there was a Prada

- within driving distance. - Look out for snakes.

Famous last words.

Are there a lot of snakes up here?

- There's a fair amount. Yeah. - Oh, no.

What do I need to do? Cleaning.

Do you wanna find somethin'?

I don't care if my clothes are wrinkled at home.

I mean, I'm not gonna take up my electricity to do this.

- I had no idea he was in it. - This show's such a good cast.

Yeah, it does.

I don't know how to open the dishwasher.

- Oh, yes. - I'm sorry.

Knock on it twice like you're knocking on a door.

Why?

It's beautiful, but it's like, why do you need it?

I feel sad for Angie.

Like, cleaning her glasses is more important

than sitting on the couch with her family.

That's just crazy.

Okay, I can check you in the morning.

Dinner is ready.

Tell me about this, Tanner.

This is the whole tail of a cow.

All right.

Golly.

Oh, bon appetit, everyone.

We'll say it the Idaho way. Bon appetit.

Wow, what a good girl. You gotta try some, too.

It's good, eating around the tailbone.

It's gritty, and fatty, and chewy.

Yeah. So, do you guys get out much for dinner or...?

I think we-we haven't been able to a whole lot.

It's organic. That's the good part.

It's got a unique texture.

I'm not sure how to describe it.

That's all right.

Is it-- is it time to get in your pajamas?

No.

The children are darling, very sweet, loving.

Hazel wants my attention, which I love.

- Are you having fun with me? - Yeah.

I haven't had a shower.

There is no dishwasher, there is no washing machine,

and there is no running water. Sweet dreams.

Yeah, I will be holding my number...

Morning of day two, everyone is still asleep.

This is how I like to start my day.

Oh, good, I see a big pink, shiny thing walking around

down on the property, and that must be Angela.

Is that a bug?

Can they be more natural? I don't really get manicures.

Does your mom get her nails done like this a lot?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

Pretty.

Once you guys are done, we're gonna get to the gym.

- Okay. - And then the salon, so...

Okay, I haven't been in a gym for a while, um,

because my life is a gym constantly.

Make sure you bring the sunglasses.

- How do they look? - They work.

Okay.

Can you show me where the water is,

so I can do dishes?

So, this is the pump, and it pulls the water from here?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so, the water is running now.

Now, you just put the hose in here and fill it up.

Okay, okay. I thought this was gonna be easy.

There you go.

My workout is, like, hauling my five gallons water.

- Farm-farmgirl sh--. - Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, we're back on the bikes one more time.

Here I am trying to talk now.

Thanks a lot.

Angie can bike and talk at the same time.

Hauling water from the bottom of the hill

and into the kitchen--

Oh, sh---.

It's made me think twice about wanting

to even brush my teeth.

It's like water's a luxury.

Okay, bud, we did it. High five.

- Is that temperature okay? - Yep.

- Okay, open your eyes. - I'm a little dizzy now.

Whoa.

It's a nice little change.

It's so not who I am.

- Now, I get to do yours. - Yeah, right, and shave.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

What are we gonna do now?

You want me to change the toilet,

like, take the bag out?

Oh, my goodness.

- Mommy does it. - Mommy changes the toilet?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, I'm gonna hurl.

Oh, my God.

This poop is stinky.

Oh, my gosh.

Very humbling moment.

Okay, Hazel, one chore down.

As a mother, there's a lot of dirty jobs

that come along with keeping up the household,

but this is-- it's a lot.

Good job, guys.

Toilet! Check!

Oh, sh--.

We've been in Angie's life, and you know,

it's time to switch things up.

It's so important to me to be connected to nature.

Love it.

And we're gonna have a fun night off-grid.

- Really? - Yes.

Completely off-grid, like out in the hills?

In your backyard.

So, no showers.

Our phones will be inside all night long.

Are we, like, actually, like, staying out there all night?

Yeah.

I'm excited.

Let's go to the hot springs.

This is it. Yeah, this is gonna be fun.

I don't know how many people have wore

their Louis Vuitton sandals down to these hot springs.

Okay, guys, since we're gonna switch to my rules,

guess what we're gonna do.

We're going out to eat.

- Wahoo! - Yeah!

- Sound good? - Yeehaw!

The little nibble of oxtail that I took last night

out of obligation didn't really cut it,

so I went to bed hungry.

Can we get a drink?

Oh, and at the Sawmill Station?

You can get any drink you want.

We've never, ever, ever ordered a dessert.

Are you-- are you-- Tanner, is that true?

Really not.

I'm strict with my daughter at home,

but Elektra knows, when we go out to a restaurant,

she orders a Shirley Temple,

and she gets ice cream for dessert.

I see that they eat really healthy,

but we have to live a little.

- We've ordered two. - One dessert in your life?

I'm back.

Hey, guys.

I need help setting up tents.

- Okay. - Can you chop wood?

Sounds good.

How do you want these to-to go?

Probably next to you, away from the fire.

Fire?

You gonna start us our fire tonight?

Maybe.

Oh, can I put this inside?

You don't need a screen in front of your face all the time.

You need the sun on your face.

You need adventure.

She is not my thing.

Like, we're actually, like, sleeping out here?

We're not gonna fit.

I don't want to be self-sustaining.

I might sneak in, in the middle of the night.

Food!

- I got a chicken sandwich. - Those are giant chips.

- Right here. Thank you. - There we go.

Guys, this looks so good.

- Wait, we have an extra-- - Oh, my gosh.

It's like you've never seen a milkshake in your life.

Whoa.

- That Oreo is so good. - I love your excitement.

- Yes. - Thank you.

I know. Oh, that looks so good.

That salad looks amazing.

It's so bad for your body.

Yeah.

- Cheers, guys. What a fun day. - Cheers, everybody.

- Yeah. - Yum.

What a fun day.

I hope you're having fun because we're still going

by my rules for the next 24 hours.

So, I need you, Tanner, to call Nana

to come and watch the kids tonight,

so Tanner can take me out.

This off-grid life is a bit extreme,

and it's a lot of work.

But the tomatoes will still be there.

The compost toilet will still be there.

None of this is going away, so I think it's important

for Tanner to get out, and get off the property,

and have some new experiences.

- What do you think? - Are you guys good with that?

No.

No. Dad, you're already married.

You cheatin' on mom?

- Oh. - Wait.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?

Oh.

No, I won't be cheating on mom.

Do you guys like fish?

- Yeah. - Yes.

Have you ever gutted a fish before?

No.

Okay, you turn it upside down.

Right in front of the fin, you wanna go all the way up

to the tip of that gill.

Goin' old school here.

Then you grab it.

Sorry!

You got spooged.

I'm dying.

We'll wash those.

What is she doing?

Is she skinning a chicken?

- Oh, my God. - Mary!

Come and meet my new wife.

No, no, no. No, no, no.

That's what we're doing?

We're learning how to gut fish.

No!

We're learning how to gut fish.

No!

So, we just gutted it.

I don't need to see my fish gutted.

I don't need to see the babies.

I don't need to see the placenta.

- Amazing. - Are you comin' for dinner?

Uh-uh.

So, you're guttin' the next one, I hear.

- No. - You don't like red snapper?

Yeah, I love red snapper, but I-I don't-- no, no, no.

What happens if you have to do it yourself, though?

I just pray to God I don't ever have to do that.

Is Angie doing this?

I mean, they-- if they go fishing, maybe.

She's off-grid.

We hunt for our food. We have no running water.

- Oh, really? - It's so fun.

I just pray that she gets back in one whole piece.

So, how are you feeling? Are you okay?

My dad is enjoying this off-gridness.

I don't know why.

I'm hoping Angie learns to appreciate what she does have

and, like, live in the moment

'cause you-you're not appreciating no jungle.

Come on. She's going with me.

- Okay, all right. - I know. I know.

You look like a little

sheep, or a little lamb,

or something funny.

I'm in love with Hazel.

She loves all things girly, so that's fun for me.

What would you like done with your hair today?

- Braids? - Braids.

You want braids?

Elektra once wanted me to do her nails and do her hair,

so I'm just in heaven, right now.

So, how do you think Angie and Tanner are doing?

That's the question that's been on my mind

- for the last several hours. - I know. I know.

Did you get a chance to read the letter?

I haven't read the letter yet.

Oh, dang, yeah, you should read it.

There's a part of it that she had mentioned

all the work it takes going into the house

and sometimes not being seen and appreciated.

"I'm not sure they understand what it takes for me

"to keep it all together at the level I do."

Just the constant upkeep, you know, uh,

I think there could be a lot of pressure.

Yeah, yeah, so, maybe, like, she feels

- she go, go, goes all day. - Right.

And there's all these things she does for her family,

and she does it out of love because isn't that what we do

- as wives and mothers? - Right, it is work.

It just seems like Angie is all put together

all the time.

I couldn't imagine how exhausting that would be

on top of all my other duties as a mom.

You have opened my-- my eyes up a little bit.

You know, something that's gonna be on my mind

from this experience.

I definitely think Angie's nagging

and perfectionism comes from a good place.

Come have a seat.

And I need to get better at letting her know

that she is seen,

and she is the backbone to this family.

Faust, oh, my God.

Faust.

Faust!

He's marking his territory.

You better call your tent first.

You better get it.

Ahh! That's the one she didn't--

Faust! What?

Well, he probably peed in there.

- Come here, Fausty. - Eww, where did he pee?

- Come here, buddy. - Okay, bye-bye.

Thank you. I've gotta retrain Shawn.

I could get used to this.

Thanks.

Go ahead. After you.

Angie is the fanciest thing to walk in that place

in a long time.

Think we could steal a chair from you, bud?

Come on. Good boy, Franklin.

Not one of those people said, "Is that a Givenchy boot?"

What are you gonna have?

I feel like it's appropriate to do a whiskey.

- Okay, I'll do a whiskey, also. - What kind of whiskey?

It's kind of a waste of money, honestly.

I could have gone to Walmart, and I didn't.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- You're welcome. - Well, cheers.

- Mom and dad's night out. - Wait, what's the Greek cheers?

- Oh, yamas, to your health. - Yamas, to your health.

- Yamas. - Yeah, to your health.

Look, Tanner and I, we kind of need to let our hair down.

And I say that with all due respect,

'cause Tanner doesn't have hair.

- Spin me. - Okay.

- All right. - And then what?

I don't know.

When you live out where we live,

you almost forget what city life is like.

Do the Tanner!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

One of the things that Angie has shown me

is that it's okay to take time away,

get back on the grid.

You don't need this, do ya?

And go and enjoy that time being plugged in.

But, yeah, I do need to take my wife country dancing

one of these days.

I have to pick that up with my mouth?

Like this.

My mouth ain't gonna fit on that.

Whoo! Yeah!

Gotta have a little Greek cowgirl.

- Where did you come from? - I love this town.

We ended up inside.

We've been trying to sleep now for about an hour,

and it's not really working.

Good night.

If I'm being honest, the tent is a little small.

There's no pads.

Like, I also didn't wanna stay out all night,

if I'm being honest. So...

How amazing would it be to build your own garden

- here at your house? - I could get into that.

So, we're gonna do that today with Elektra.

Okay.

I kind of feel like she's still gonna, like,

buy processed foods, but, like, it's fine.

- Gotcha. - So, we'll see how this goes.

Oh, hi, guys.

- Hi. Yeah. - Are you gonna help me?

I wanna give you guys a little present,

so you can remember me when I go, okay?

These have the Greek flag on 'em.

What do you think? You wanna try 'em on?

Sure.

- I'll have those ones. - They look so cool on you.

And you can still see through 'em, right?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, my goodness, they look cool on you, too.

Is this a good size for your house, do you think?

I think it's perfect.

- Thanks. - Perfect.

I would be okay to do this activity

when it's 65 degrees, not when it's 94.

Wanna help us dump dirt?

That a girl.

And let's have you design the garden.

- Okay. What are these, again? - Bell pepper.

Where do you want that, hon?

- Maybe, like, here. - And the other tomatoes.

Should we put the tomatoes over there?

Yeah.

- Maybe we put oregano here. - Nice.

- Good job. - Thank you.

Planting a garden, it wasn't that bad.

Wait, dad, can you dig this one over here?

Yes.

But I'm feeling very hot, right now.

After this, we are going inside and having a popsicle.

That sounds amazing.

I was just so surprised at how disconnected they are

from nature.

Their house is so big, and then you just have

this tiny, little patch of green in the back.

And now that they have this garden,

maybe they can spend more time out there.

- Nice. - I'm gonna run these back

- to the toolbox. - Okay.

How does it make you feel now that it's all done,

- and you helped with it? - I think it's cool.

- Are you proud of yourself? - Yeah.

Cool. Now, you guys will have a whole meal,

right here, in a couple months.

Yeah.

It was so fun. I had the best time.

Hazel, are you gonna miss her?

Is that edible, like everything else out here?

I didn't know this experience would be such a blessing.

Like, showing up in, like, my heels and my mini skirt

and looking all high body count,

and the kids are probably like, "Oh, gosh, who is this lady?"

And then just spending time with them

and seeing how hard they work just to live in nature,

and just they're thinking about resources,

which we all take for granted.

You guys are the most amazing family.

I've learned a lot from you guys.

Like, you think that your way is the right way,

and I learned this weekend that there's no right way,

just whatever works for your family.

Well, we learned a lot from you, too.

I'm leaving a better person than I was when I came.

Like, I'm standing here barefaced

and not worrying about, like, well,

what if my skin doesn't look good,

or what if you can see wrinkles under my eyes?

It's kinda like, who-who cares?

Like, you let it go,

and it felt good to just let it go.

Oh, Hazel might try and crawl in there with you.

- Okay. - All right.

Thanks for everything.

We're so different

but, uh... so similar.

Bye, guys. Love ya!

It's just interesting, 'cause...

we hardly know each other, but...

she's just been very open

to my thoughts and feelings, and sometimes that's--

that's all, like, anyone really needs.

- Bye! Love you! - Love you guys!

She's hanging out the door.

What? Love her like a friend, man.

Your lifestyle is really humbling.

And then these kids have to take a bath outside,

and it made me feel sad.

I felt guilty that I even thought that.

I know Elektra's at school,

so give her a big hug for me and tell her bye.

I will.

- Oh, my God, it's you. - Oh!

What's going on? How are you?

- Come and meet my new wife. - Hi.

I know you from everybody else.

Oh, my gosh.

- How are my kids? - I love your kids.

Oh, good. I love your daughter.

She's amazing, and Shawn was so nice.

Oh, God, what in the world is going on out there?

Have we moved outside?

We have.

Is this my new primary?

Since my swap sons are not here,

I'm gonna need you to go grab my suitcases.

Where are they? Out front?

Man, having those strong boys--

- yeah, they're right out front. - Yeah, okay.

It's so crazy because I feel like

I haven't been here forever.

Oh.

And, I think part of that is just living your life.

And after seeing your to-do list

and seeing what Tanner does,

you guys work really hard on your property.

Yeah, this is, like, the dream we want.

All that other stuff was just distractions for us.

Your lifestyle is really humbling.

And then I thought, when I pulled up, like,

oh, these guys--

these kids have to take a bath outside,

and it made me feel sad.

But then when I saw that you guys have everything...

- It's beautiful, huh? - It's beautiful,

- and I felt some-- - I'm glad you saw that.

I felt guilty. Yeah, I did.

I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry for even saying it,

- I felt-- - No.

Like, I felt guilty that I even thought that.

Aww, it's okay.

I thought I'd be laying poolside,

drinking margaritas or something,

and then I get here, and the cameras,

and having to be on all the time.

I thought it'd be easy. So, I'm sorry.

My biggest thing is, I just wanna connect more.

- Yeah, same. - Just as a family.

'Cause that's what's most important.

It's strange that you have to go so far away

- from your own life to see it. - I know. I know.

Why is that? Yeah.

I needed to-to have this experience.

- So, thank you. - Oh, thank you.

Swapping lives with someone else,

it felt like I went back in time

and was reminded of what's important in life.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

It's the moments. It's the memories.

And Elektra is growing up so fast,

and I want to spend as much time as I can with her.

I will never forget your family.

I know. I will never forget yours.

Being off-grid, it's hard doing what we do.

You know, I've had days crying and thinking, like,

what the hell did we get ourselves into?

And doing the wife swap, I realized

I was able to be able to show another family

a different way of living

to bring happiness into their life.

Okay, can we talk about this for a second?

Oh, my God, Is that-- is that what you brought?

This is my bag.

Your family must have been horrified

when they saw all my stuff.

Well, this says it all.

As much as I love Challis, Idaho,

I am a city girl.

Lindsay, thank you.

- It's so nice to meet you. - It's been great.

Angie K. is back on the grid.

Wow, I've gotta simplify.

- Aww, baby. - Hi. Ahh!

Hi.

- I missed you guys. - We missed you.

It's gross, but it's done.

Hello? They're not neat freaks.

That's refreshing.

All the juicing I can do in this!

- We can clean this up later. - Oh, my God.

She's very OCD.

"We are Vegan."

I'm anemic. I need meat.

We about to switch it up.

- I gotta go to work. - We have to go to work.

- We? - Ahh!

You're very needy.

- You make me wanna cry. - I feel like I'm in quicksand.

I've been waiting to give you the meat.

- No, wait, this is not gonna-- - Oh, my God.
