In Flip or Flop season 7 episode 6, titled "Flipping And Dating," the dynamic duo of exes Tarek and Christina tackle another house flip in sunny Southern California while also navigating their newly single lives. The episode opens with Tarek meeting up with his friend and real estate agent Pete to check out a new property in Santa Ana. The house is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,400 square foot fixer-upper that's seen better days. Tarek and Pete see the potential and decide to make an offer of $325,000, which is accepted by the seller.
Meanwhile, Christina is meeting up with her sister Carly for a girls' day out. The two hit up a trendy cafe and talk about Christina's love life, as she's recently started dating again after her divorce from Tarek. Christina reveals that she's been seeing someone special for a few months, but she's hesitant to introduce him to her children just yet. Carly encourages Christina to take her time and not rush into anything, as her family is the most important thing in her life.
Back at the Santa Ana flip, Tarek and his contractor Izzy are ready to get to work. The house needs a lot of work, including new flooring, a new roof, and a complete kitchen overhaul. Tarek decides to take on the kitchen renovation himself, as he's been wanting to improve his DIY skills and thinks this will be a good opportunity to do so.
As work on the flip progresses, Tarek invites Christina over to check out the kitchen progress and get her opinion on some design choices. Christina is impressed with Tarek's work and suggests a few small tweaks to make the kitchen even better.
In a heart-to-heart chat, Tarek and Christina talk about their dating lives and how it's been an adjustment to be single again. Tarek admits that he's been hesitant to start dating again, but he's trying to stay open-minded and optimistic. Christina encourages him to put himself out there and enjoy the process, as it can be a fun experience if approached with the right attitude.
With the Santa Ana flip nearly complete, Tarek and Christina start to prep the house for sale. They stage the home with modern furniture and decor, and the end result is stunning. The house receives a lot of interest from potential buyers and sells quickly for $465,000, earning them a profit of over $100,000.
In the final scene of the episode, Tarek and Christina meet up for coffee to celebrate another successful flip. They reflect on how far they've come since their divorce and how they've been able to maintain a positive working relationship. They both agree that their real estate business is stronger than ever, and they're excited to see what the future holds.
