After meeting in an Internet chat room and becoming engaged only two weeks later, Adam and Tiburon have been happily married for six years. Since Adam loves nothing more than to barbecue with friends, Tiburon is going to surprise him with a new Mediterranean patio creation by garden designer Peter Bonsey, who is aided by carpenter Andrew Dan-Jumbo and handyperson Leslie Segrete. Enlisting the help of Adam's mother, Tiburon sends Adam off with their two children for a fun-filled visit with Grandma in Texas. A member of the While You Were Out crew posing as a tourist board cameraman producing a promotional video at a local barbecue restaurant checks in on Adam to gain fodder for the pop-quiz portions of the show. Meanwhile, Tiburon and crew are ready to work; Peterplans to build a water fountain to look like an overflowing watering can, make a rustic storage unit, construct a new table featuring Italian tiling, and construct four Roman-styled chairs — with lots of colorful plants surrounding the new area. Find out how Adam will react when he discovers he's the guest of honor at his own BBQ.
