Marlene is having a Kennedy- style family meeting (although Cody isn't there(!))

Marlene tells Annalise that she likes Joanna, but Annalise had no right to let her move in without asking Marlene. Secondly, they'll have to get their own telephone line for their business. If they want to use the living room as their office, they'll have to pay more rent. And the most important thing is that they all respect each other's privacy, for example, Jo can't use Cody's computer without asking.

MARLENE: I came home for some peace and quiet, and that's what I'm going to have. Anyone got any objections to that?!
ANNALISE AND JO: No.

Just then, Colin arrives with a huge bunch of flowers for Marlene.

COLIN: I warn you, Marlene Kratz! When Colin Taylor comes courting, he is not easily discouraged!
