In this week's episode, Stacy tangles with TSA, and Daniel inches closer to selling the cottage.
First, Stacy and Daniel discuss Stacy's recent trip to Florida and her airport mishaps.
Then, they move on to Daniel's cottage update, including the process of accepting an offer and the potential for the buyer to back out before signing the contract.
