Newly promoted DI Rachel Carey is drafted in to investigate Shaun's case, and she quickly learns that the truth can sometimes be a matter of perspective.

Flip or Flop Follow-Up

Tarek and Christina revisit their most intense, interesting and engaging house flips.

Because there's never enough time to tell the whole story in every episode of Flip or Flop, this series is an opportunity to dig deeper into the trials and tribulations of house flipping, and to find out what actually happened behind the scenes of the renovations.

We'll also follow up on houses that remained unsold at the time of production - revealing now what they ended up selling for, and if Tarek and Christina actually made or lost money.

Each half-hour episode encapsulates three stories and adds extra information.

These three stories will feature: a successful flip, a financial flop and a follow-up that ends with Tarek and Christina revisiting one of their house flips, to meet the new homeowners and present them with a housewarming gift.

In the series premiere, "A Risky Partnership": Tarek and Christina go behind the scenes of three early flips, including how they began their partnership with Pete and what really happened on a flip with $6,000 worth of mold damage.

They will each have 90 days from the moment their significant other lands on US soil to say "I do," or else the foreigners will have to head back to their home countries.

Briana Latrise gets caught in the crosshairs of a social media war with the Peppers but has ammunition on Sam that has yet to be unloaded...

When Egypt finally takes matters into her own hands, she crosses a line that cannot be erased. But nothing prepares Egypt for the backlash from her iconic parents Pepa and Treach.

Meanwhile, Pepa's niece Tee Tee has estranged herself from the family and is hiding out in Jamaica with her boyfriend of one year... along with a life-altering secret.

In New York, Damon Dash makes headlines around the world when news breaks that he has been arrested and handcuffed.

Boogie Dash struggles with an internal battle on whether to support his father or not when they continue to spar between their father-son and business relationship.
