Setting the content property of the TabItem with a VieModel in Josh Smith's MVVM sample

As many others, I started my MVVM journey by reading Josh Smith's MVVM Demo.

Using typed Data Template, he mapped every xxxViewModel to xxxView, so every time a ViewModel object is rendered, the appropriate View object is displayed. What I could not understand (nor find in the source code) is where does he actually set the Content property of the TabItem with a ViewModel?

N.B

Being new with WPF also, I am not sure my question is directly related to the MVVM pattern...

He sets the ItemSource property of the TabControl to an observable collection of ViewModels, which he then uses the DataTemplate to link up to views. Check the section a couple of code blocks down from Figure 7. I don't think he explicitly shows that code in the example figures though.
