Sam laughs that she's only managed two lines in the whole day. Suddenly they start arguing about Annalise's trip again and Sam storms out.

Ren comes in and tells Marlene that she's worried about Rhonda - that she was really aggressive towards Ren the other day. Marlene says maybe Rhonda was having an off-day. Marlene says she's a pretty good judge of character though - she was right about Bianca and some others. She doesn't think there's any problem with Rhonda.

Lou and Cheryl's, the following morning

RHONDA: No, the old bag's not here, I've got the place to myself.

She tells the person that she's got Marlene wrapped around her little finger and says that everything will go "just the way they planned".

House
The owner is still going mental - it seems Brett and Sam have put a skylight in to cover up the hole in the ceiling! The owner says she only wanted insulation, but they say the skylight is a gift from Handy Sam's - because she is the "1000th customer".

SAM: It is my pleasure in presenting you with your free bonus gift...lucky 1000th customer...skylight.
OWNER: Is free?
SAM: Not a cent!
OWNER: That's-a-fantastic! Thanks a lot boys! I love it!

(She's a bit foreign!)

She offers them some refreshments and Brett puts his arm around her - they seem to have got away with it!

Mark comes over and asks Brett and Sam to put a skylight in.

BRETT AND SAM: No!!

Lou and Cheryl's
