Ty begins the show by reminding us that this season is about honoring heroes. The Design Team is on a bus to Charlotte, North Carolina. He introduces them via video to the King Family; Curtis and Alisha, and their three kids, Justin, 18; Kirkland, 11; and Laila, 6. Ty explains that Alisha started out as a single mother before she met Curtis, and together they built the Step-By-Step Daycare. Curtis explains that they don’t mind helping people out by letting the kids come early or stay later if needed. Ty adds that the family often cares for children free of charge, and as a result is basically living below the poverty line.
