As two practicing attorneys with a new baby, it's no wonder that all Kelly and Jon want to do when they're at home is relax and watch movies. They're both movie buffs, and probably rent about 15 movies a month. Although Jon recently purchased a huge TV and state-of-the-art surround sound system to give his friends an authentic theater experience, the couple's bijou-oriented basement still needs a lot of help. Kelly turns to While You Were Out to give Jon his version of a dream home theatre. Kelly had no problem getting him out of the house. Her husband has often mentioned that he would love to visit a spa, so with his birthday coming up, Kelly arranges to send him to a spa and golf resort with his best friend Chris. Trailed by our secret camera crew gathering information for the pop-quiz portions of the show, Jon believes that he's been chosen to appear in a promotional video for the resort. Kelly hopes that While You Were Out architect/designer Christy Schlesinger, with the help of carpenter Andrew Dan-Jumbo and handyperson Leslie Segrete, can help her give husband an ideal home theater, complete with funky artwork and a sci-fi concession stand.
