In season 5 episode 3, titled "Making Room For Grandma," the Scott brothers are tasked with helping a family create more space for their grandmother in their home.

The episode begins with the Scott brothers meeting with the Willis family, who are seeking their expertise to help renovate their home. The family consists of parents, Dave and Erin, and their two children, Stella and Wes. Dave and Erin are feeling cramped in their current home, as they are currently sharing one bathroom with the kids and Dave's mother, who recently moved in with them. The Willis family has a budget of $1 million and hopes to find a larger home with more space for everyone.

Drew takes on the task of selling the family's current home, while Jonathan focuses on finding them a new one. Drew first meets with Erin to discuss what changes need to be made to the home before it can be put on the market. Erin expresses her desire for a more modern, open-concept layout, as well as more storage space. Drew agrees to take on the job and begins working with his team to transform the space.

Meanwhile, Jonathan meets with the family to get a better understanding of what they are looking for in a new home. The family's top priority is finding a home with a separate living space for Dave's mother, which would provide her with more privacy and independence. Jonathan begins searching for homes that fit this description and takes the family to view a few properties.

After viewing a few homes, the Willis family finds a property that they absolutely love. The home has a separate living space for Dave's mother, as well as a huge backyard that would be perfect for the kids. However, the home is over their budget, and they are unsure if they can afford it. Jonathan suggests that they make an offer below the asking price and see if the sellers are willing to negotiate.

As the renovations on the current home are coming to a close, Drew takes the family on a tour of their newly transformed space. The home now has a more open floor plan, with a new kitchen and bathroom. The family is thrilled with the transformation and can't believe how much more space they have.

Jonathan receives good news on the offer that they made on the new home. The sellers agreed to lower the price, and the Willis family is now able to afford the property. Jonathan surprises the family with the news, and they are overjoyed.

The episode wraps up with the Willis family moving into their new home, which has exceeded their expectations.
