Finally, Phil and Louise visit a beautiful country estate, which is home to a significant collection of antique furniture and paintings. The owners take the experts on a tour of the house, pointing out some of the grandest pieces in the collection. Phil and Louise are excited by the array of antiques on display and hope to find some valuable pieces to add to their own collection.
Throughout the episode, Phil and Louise's rivalry and good-natured banter add a lighthearted touch to the show. However, they are both serious about their work, and as they travel from place to place, they put their in-depth knowledge of antiques to good use.
