Jo Ann thinks that her husband Adam is a reincarnated jester from the Middle Ages. He loves Halloween, Renaissance fairs, and serenading his friends. So while Adam and his twin brother James spend two days in Atlanta clowning around, Jo Ann and the While You Were Out gang will turn his loft into a Medieval jester's court. Designer John Bruce gets busy creating the perfect space for this modern-day joker; Adam will get a stage to sing on, wrought iron chandeliers to shine on him, and draw bridge furniture from which to enjoy ye olde TV set. John uses paving stones and stained wood to create a sturdy shelving unit, and lush fabric to adorn a royal seating area.
A local blacksmith brings his expertise to craft the metalwork, and John adds whimsy by including a set of fool-proof juggling balls which float above a stage for Adam to use. But the rain starts to fall, adding folly to the venture. Will carpenters Andrew Dan-Jumbo and Leslie Segrete be able to salvage their projects from the yard, or will Jo Ann's plan for Adam be washed away? And what will Adam think when he finds out his weekend with his twin brother was all a ruse? Tune in and find out.
