LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Bang Theory' alum Mayim Bialik will seek Jonathan and Drew Scott's help to surprise her long-time bestie. They will transform Mayim's bestie Nancy's overgrown backyard into an oasis.

The renovation will also feature an outdoor kitchen and studio for writing and yoga, besides providing tranquility and space for hosting friends. In the HGTV show, Mayim will express her deep gratitude to her longtime friend who has had a major impact on her life.

While the identity of Mayim's friend is yet to be unveiled, fans have been provided with a glimpse in the teaser. Mayim's friend seemed to be shocked by the stunning renovation.

Nancy is just like Mayim's 'sister from another mister'. Nancy had been with Mayim through her really hard times and hard transitions and has been the most important person in the actress' life.

Mayim Bialik struggles with bandsaw in 'Celebrity IOU' Season 7

HGTV has recently released a teaser for the upcoming episode of 'Celebrity IOU' Season 7. In the teaser, Mayim Bialik struggled with the bandsaw as she helped Jonathan and Drew Scott in the renovation.

The reality star also drove a front-loader truck, and energetically hammered in the foundation. The Scott Brothers joked about Mayim's renovation skills and noted, "I have a theory - we're going to make a big bang with this place here."

Mayim looked stunning as she sported workwear while renovating the backyard. However, she soon switched into a chic, flowy skirt and tee during the final reveal.

Alongside the teaser, Mayim wrote, "Can you handle me renovating with @jonathanscott and @mrdrewscott? I bet you can." She also noted in her caption, "My episode of #CelebIOU which we filmed last year."
