    • According to Nathan, Hanah is the leader of the house division.
    • Emma in the DR – Emma is pissed off. Martha is an underhanded cow for telling Lily that Hanah said that she heard “Get Lily out”. Hanah never confirmed that it was what she heard.
    • Hanah confirms that is what she heard, and she did tell Martha that, but it was to not make Lily cry.
