Joanna is confronted by Miranda after learning Dexter plans to send her abroad to study. Joanna refuses the arrangement—"I already turned Dexter down"—and accuses Miranda of making life decisions for her. Miranda erupts, saying she worked with Dexter's mother to secure the opportunity and accuses Joanna of trying to dump responsibility. The argument escalates when Miranda demands Joanna go with her to the Collins residence. Joanna resists and refuses to leave, but Miranda pushes physical coercion and orders her to move. The episode ends with Joanna held between refusal and being forced out, outcome unresolved.
