Erin Napier Sneaks Up on Husband Ben While He’s Planning a Surprise for Her on Home Town — Watch! (Exclusive)

Ben Napier works on a special Mother’s Day surprise for his wife Erin in Sunday’s episode home town — but catch him in the act.

The lumberjack, 40, plans to build a greenhouse in the couple’s backyard in Laurel, Mississippi, using only salvaged materials. And in the clip above, Erin, 38, sneaks up on him during his undercover mission.

Caught off guard, Ben says he thought Erin was at his friend Aly’s house, for whom they are working on a separate project.

“I’m really good at surprises and keeping secrets,” Ben says, speaking to the camera. “I’m not good at lying.”

“It’s really hard to get your wife to trust you when you’ve dug a huge crater in the hillside on your property,” he admits.

“Can you trust me?” Ben asks Erin, telling her, “It’s a surprise.”

When Erin wants to know if it’s “something nice,” he replies, “I think it is.” “The girls will think it is,” she adds, referring to their two daughters, 6-year-old Helen and 2-year-old Mae.

Erin asks if the surprise is “expensive,” to which Ben replies, “No, everything was saved. Everything I use is returned.”

Then he assures her, “You’ll love it—I promise.”

“You know what, honestly, it’s like a weight off my shoulders now that Erin actually knows what I’m doing,” he shares. “But she doesn’t really know. She just knows.”

Erin finally reveals that she is onto his secret after all, asking, “It’s a greenhouse, right?”

“I didn’t say that,” he insists before the pair say to each other, “I love you.”

Past episodes home town this season we’ve seen the HGTV couple try pickleball, go blueberry picking and play an impromptu game of shuffleboard.

They even tackled a major demolition that made Ben feel like Indiana Jones.

In the second episode, Erin and Ben visited Jones College, the school where they fell in love in 2004.

“This is where we met,” Erin said of their alma mater. “We had our first date in the student union. Everyone on both sides of our family went to school here.”
