And there you've perfectly summed up a big problem with the latter portion of Leviathans. Too many things are thrown in without any foundation or explanation. And believe me, Quentin's apparently easy acceptance by the family is but a minor point compared to what comes up afterwards.

jeb(and bruno?)living at the carriage house.chris(remember him?)still apparently at the caretaker's cottage.megan moves in to the main house(how weird was that?). ... i don't lke it when the house just becomes this generic backdrop from all of this and not a specific person/family's house.
That will change. The Collinses will reclaim Collinwood in future storylines and the non-Collinses will have their own living spaces. However, I think it does make sense for so many outsiders to be living on the Collinwood estate because Collinwood is the intended power base for the Leviathans to reclaim their place in the world. And as for Chris, the point of him moving into the cottage was so he could be close to Amy (and some might even say Carolyn wanted him closer to her), so that also makes sense.

p.s. why are there so many spoilers on this topic?the subject is really just where did a specific character live.
True. But honestly I'd much rather see people err on the side of caution than to reveal too much (especially when the latter requires Midnite or I to edit a post to put the spoiler tags in ourselves ). So, a big to the people who've included the spoiler tags in their posts.
