This was considered one of the most moving episodes of the entire series. The night before the crew arrived at the Kadzis' home, George, the father, was admitted to the hospital and put in ICU. He had lost his vision and would eventually lose his battle with brain cancer, dying only three days after the rest of the family had moved into the new home. Ty and the others were so hurt by this news, their usual chant of "Let's do it!" was much subdued. After the home was revealed, a scaled down model of the home was also built and presented to George while in the hospital so he could feel how large and different it was. Due to his hospitalization during the rebuild and eventual death shortly afterwards, George Kadzis is officially the only member of any family in the entire series who was living at the time and never saw his family's new home.
