As soon as she arrives, Joan gets to work in the kitchen, rearranging all of Melissa's dishes and utensils to better suit her needs. She even goes as far as to remove all of Melissa's pots and pans because she didn't like how they looked.

Joan's opinionated nature also causes conflict when it comes to viewing choices.

Overall, "Joan Takes Over" showcases the hilarity and drama that ensues when two strong-willed women share a home, while also highlighting the love and support that exists between them.
