♪ Hot summer streets...

- Don't talk in my...
- [BLEEP].

[All speaking at once]

What is going on here?

♪ And the pavements
are burning... ♪

He doesn't wanna be
in this marriage.

He doesn't need
to do me any favors.

♪ It's a cruel...

You asked for loyalty,
you get loyalty.

I hate fighting
with my family.



[♪]

I know
what I'm doing to myself.

I just don't wanna
do this anymore.

♪ It's a cruel,
cruel summer ♪

You better stay the [BLEEP]
outta my face.

You want to try
to pop my love bubble?

It's not gonna happen.

Keep lying, Teresa.

Disgusting
white trash bitch!

♪ Now you're gone

Summer in Jersey.

- Bring it on.
- [laughs]

This season, on
"The Real Housewives of New Jersey"...

I would love to start
having some fun.



[Upbeat music]

Whoo!
[cheers, laughter]

- I'm an eagle!
- [laughs]

Which one of you
watches more porn?

- I watch as I drive.
- Oh, my God.

Let's play ball!

- Oh!
- Ah!

[♪]

Like she's sucking a pee-pee
and she doesn't even know how.

[Saxophone playing]

- Think you're a little rusty.
- [laughs]

Wow, Nashville.

We ridin' dirty!

- Move!
- Mm.

Ah!
[laughter]

[Cheers]

Fake hair, fake tits,
we don't care.

[laughter]

Your brother's
saying things about dad.

She looks at me
like I'm the devil.

Their father was the devil.

That's when I walk away
from you.

How's your mother doing?

She's in danger of
a heart attack at any minute.

They're gonna have to crack
my chest open.

You're ****ing kidding me.

I asked him,
"Do you want a divorce?"

She doesn't even know if her
marriage is gonna last.

She doesn't know if she wants
to stay with Bill.

Jennifer, I think right now
she's hurting

and that's why
I'm being a friend to her.

- I didn't want this to happen.
- I know it's painful.

You're gonna get through it.

I just thought
I'd have more time.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

This guy
is charming as sh...

So is a car salesman.

[♪]

- Oh, okay.
- I don't know

why she wants
to hide everything.

Why are they still filming?

Why just the constant
conflicting stories?

I don't like how
you're ****ing nasty

talking behind my back
about my boyfriend.

You do not want Margaret

to be your enemy.
- No.

You're a sick,
disgusting liar.

[Dishes clatter]
- Oh, come on!

Teresa should
be ****ing careful.

Tell her to shut
the [BLEEP] up.

- You're gonna respect me...
- Oh, really?

What the [BLEEP]
are you gonna do about it?

She sounds
like a ****ing hater.

I don't give a [BLEEP]
what you say

'cause I'm trying
to explain to you.

You can get the [BLEEP] out.

[All speaking at once]

I'm done with summer.

I'm so done with it.

*THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK JERSEY*
Season 12 Episode 01

Episode Title:
"Smoke, Mirrors and Foggy Diamonds"

[upbeat music]
Aired on: February 01, 2022.

♪ One, two, three, four

[♪]

I'm just doing
my daily routine.

That could be
your Halloween costume.

And what would I go as?

Someone who got botched.

- [Gasps]
- No, no, no, nothing...

Don't say that!

[♪]

- No!
- [laughing]

No! Mama, mama! Mama!

Guys, guys, guys,
you're driving me crazy. Stop.

Tell her to give me
back the grapes.

I'll give you
different grapes.

Fine.

[♪]

Toni, you see his hair?

- I'm not cutting it.
- He looks like a Guido.

Why would you want
a puffy ball of hair

on the top of your head
like that?

Cause it's sexy.

Joey.
[laughter]

[♪]

- Mom!
- What?

Me and Jonah are hungry.

You want a sandwich?

I just got 'em delivered.
Let's go outside.

We're gonna go eat by the pool.

Come on, Bella.

- Oh, it's, like, raining.
- Oh, it's...

Why are we outside?

Well, because
it's nice out here.

[All speaking at once]
- Oh, it's so nice.

My hair is gonna
get frizzy, Mom.

Which one is yours?

This is mine.
This is mine.

We were supposed to have
a pool day

and then look what happened.

Thunder!

I cannot wait for the summer

and for you guys
to be done with school.

I cannot believe that there's
only two weeks left.

And what I can't believe
that you guys

were home this whole year.

Did school virtually.

I didn't mind staying home.
I really didn't.

So what's going on
with our house?

I mean, we're supposed
to close this summer.

My house has been
on the market for six months.

We had two
very serious buyers.

That's good to hear.

And the house is in contract
right now

so I'm so excited.

If all goes well, Luis and I

will be moving into the house
that we bought together.

But my routine
is not changing

just 'cause we're moving
somewhere else.

It's not like it's not
gonna change at all.

Like, we're gonna be living
with two men

and we haven't lived
with men in six years.

Luis has two sons.

His older son's at college,

but his younger son
is gonna be living with us

and my daughters.
I'm excited.

I always wanted a son,
and now I'm gonna have two.

Like yesterday.
- Yeah, I know.

You're like laying in our
backyard naked and I was like,

"Oh, yeah, soak it in.

Like, I won't be able
to do that.

I know, it's gonna be, like,
really annoying.

No, but I mean...

Well, they could stay
out of the room.

Exactly.
Thank you, Gabriella.

You know, like anything else,

like we'll get used
to each other, you know?

So are you guys okay with us
blending our families?

I mean, obviously
if I didn't like Luis,

we would not be
moving in with him.

Obviously, I know.

I was really nervous
when I met Luis.

Are you gonna go public
with him eventually?

I gotta see
how it goes first.

But we really did take the time

to get to know each other.

I absolutely did not expect
to meet you.

I really thought that
I'd probably be alone

for like the next ten years.
- Yeah.

I thought that too just
because I'm in the public eye.

It was really hard for me
to trust people.

I really feel like he's like
my soul mate.

Can you wipe it?

I have lashes on, you know,
right?

I have lashes too.
Please be careful.

Like knock on wood, like,
everything feels right.

Just see how it goes.

It's still a very
short time period

from when you met him
to the move in.

Gia, it's gonna be a year
next month.

Mom, but that's still
just not that long.

You still find out new things

about a person
every single day.

I mean, we'll see.

It's, like, crazy
how life works.

It's like we're moving in
the development

that my brother lived in.

Yeah, Mom, we could
have been neighbors.

I know.

I guess it wasn't meant
to be that way, you know?

So anyway, next Friday,

I'm having a kickoff
to the summer party.

So I'm gonna invite
my brother and Melissa.

So you'll be nice, right?

[♪]

It's like I'm still
mad at him.

The last time we talked
was in the group text.

The text didn't
solve anything.

It didn't solve anything.

He said,
"I am a terrible person.

"I am a scumbag.
Your father is the best.

I agree."

We replied back and said
we never said that,

but, like, you said
awful things about him.

[BLEEP] that piece of sh...!

He put my mother
in a ****ing grave.

So I'm supposed
to ****ing like him?

He said sorry but then

it was like he,
like, went back on it.

He said sorry, then

he tried to like,
picture it like,

oh, like, you're right.
Like I'm the bad guy.

That was the last time
we talked to him.

It's been almost, like,
six months.

My brother and I,
we made peace with it.

We made an agreement.

After this, we're never
gonna say his name again.

But my daughters
are still upset

because basically
they want him to take back,

you know, what he said
about their dad.

If he, like,
actually really cared,

he would call us and say,
"Let's go out to dinner."

Let's do... like, Mom, a text.
- Like, listen, guys.

I always want you guys
to do the right thing.

I hope your brother starts
doing the right thing.

[♪]

[funky music]

[♪]

[line ringing]

Hi, little Frankie.

How are you?
It's going good.

Are you coming to the house?

Well, there's not
a lot of progress.

The air is fixed,
so it's livable now.

I'll put your room
together today.

So when you come, just bring
your stuff upstairs, okay?

I'll see you in a little bit.

[♪]

Gab!
- Dolores!

[Dogs barking]
Come downstairs. Hi, Mabel.

Come on. Outside. Get out.
Get out. Get out.

How's it going here?

The air,
I can feel it right now.

Yeah, we got
that fixed yesterday.

- Okay, Gabs. Dr Catania.
- That's me.

That's crazy, Gabrielle.
You did it.

Your mother is a doctor.

- Do you love working?
- Love it.

Hey, guys. Oh, hey. Hey.

Hi, Mom.
- Very nice pants.

Thank you. It's work outfit.
Been going well.

He's working for Luis.

- What's he doing for Luis?
- Real estate.

Luis is a hard worker.
He's got a good heart too.

- He's a mentor to you, right?
- He's amazing.

I'm happy Teresa's with him.
That's what she deserves.

Well, good for her.

- Yeah.
- All right.

So when were you here last?
- I don't know.

Probably a few weeks ago.
Let me see.

Like, this doesn't
have to be like this.

This is unfinished.
The molding's not done.

These covers could
go on by now.

Where's my dishwasher
and my microwave?

I don't know.

I started renovating
my house nine months ago.

[Buzzing]

Come on, come on.

And it's still not done.
Oi.

David offered
for me to stay with him,

but that, in my mind,
wasn't an option.

I don't believe in living
with somebody

unless you have a commitment.

And my relationship with David
isn't really changing.

So I rented myself
a townhouse,

and I like it a lot.

But then Frankie graduated
from college and Gabrielle

graduated from vet school.
It was supposed to be

very nice for you
when you came home.

I just want door knobs.

I have to go to the bathroom
with the door open

'cause our doors
don't stay closed.

Yeah.

I promised that they could
come live home for free,

start their lives
nice and easy.

Clearly this is not the way
things are supposed to be.

- Okay.
- So I'm furious with Frank

that he couldn't get it
together to finish the house

on the move in date
we all agreed upon.

When was last time you saw Dad?

I was down the shore.

So dad's down the shore.
He's not coming back.

He's very busy with company.
- Exactly.

Frank's priorities are
a little off at this moment

because he has
a new girlfriend in Texas.

I don't want to fight with him,

but I want things done.

She's young, and she
doesn't need a life preserver

if she falls off his boat.

Just saying.

Let's call Dad.
- Hey, Dolor.

- Hi.
- Ehh!

Well, we just walking
through the house

wondering where you are.

You alone?

Well, we were just wondering

who the company's been
these... these days

'cause you kind of
left us hanging.

I'm... I'm rehearsing
for my show; You know that.

Like that's this week, right?

Ing house isn't done,

and you're talking
about your show, okay?

Don't worry about your show.

How about put the door knobs on
before you go

and practice your lines
for the show in Atlantic City?

Or how about tell maybe
your girlfriend you're busy

for the next two weeks.

Door handles, lights,
the molding, to repaint.

Get some sh... done.

I sense a lot of hostility
between everyone except me.

I just don't want this house
tearing us apart.

Thank you. Okay.

I love you!

[laughter]

[♪]

[soft music]

[♪]

[line ringing]

Hi, babe. How are you?

I don't know if you saw this,

but this video with Luis,
it's weird.

It's out there everywhere.

Everyone's talking about it
on social media.

[line ringing]
- Hi.

This video going around
about Luis' is weird as sh...

I just find it shocking.

- Oh, my God.
- What is this?

- This is a red flag.
- It's crazy.

I don't know if Teresa
has seen this by now

but it's gonna be bad.

Teresa's gonna lose her mind.

[♪]

[upbeat music]

- Joe?
- Yeah.

I don't know what happened
with my trays.

I thought they were
under the oven.

Oh. [Laughs]

Perfect. Thank you.
Oh, good that you knew...

Tray away.

Will you put ice
in my glass?

This is what happens
when Marleny's gone.

You gotta be like
the manservant.

The manservant. Yeah.

Jackie's coming over.
We must discuss the video.

Everybody's talking about it.

How can you not talk
about that?

It's bigger
than an elephant in a room.

It's a wooly mammoth.

I haven't heard a peep
from Teresa about it.

But she romanticizes her life

just like this whole thing
with the video with Luis.

She's gonna romanticize that.

No one could
romanticize that.

I mean, this video,
I don't know

what was going on,
but Luis is on the beach

in the middle
of this pack of men.

And they're all,
you know, naked.

The poor guy looks like
he's been, like,

dragged through the river

and he's begging
for forgiveness.

And the men behind him,
and they're all,

like, cheering him on, like,
"You can do it!"

I mean, men
who, like, would scare

the ****ing life out of me
if I saw them

in an alleyway, by the way.

He's apologizing for something

to another woman
he was involved with.

He obviously
did something wrong.

It's just a heavy situation.

And she has to realize
what is going on around her.

Joe, we're talking about
Teresa here.

And she makes everything like
a beautifully painted picture.

[Dog barking]
Bella. All right.

Just put it
on the coffee table. Oh.

Hi, honey cakes.
Oh, you look so pretty.

[Dog barking]
- [speaking indistinctly]

Hi, hi. Hi.

How's Evan? Good?

He's good, yeah.

What do you want?
I have iced coffee, Pellegrino.

Pellegrino would be great.
This room looks so pretty.

Thank you.
It's getting going.

I got my window treatments
in here.

That's incredibly cute that
you have a dog seat in this...

I know. Is that cute?
So tell me about the kids.

They're going away to camp.

I can't wait
to get rid of them.

I already doing my
pelvic calisthenics.

[laughter]

So anyway, they're all going.

I'm so excited
about Teresa's pool party.

She told me, "Wear your sexy,
hottest dress."

- I know, I know.
- So, but...

do you think she'll bring up
that video?

I don't know.

You know, I don't want
to rain on her parade,

and Luis seems amazing.

But he is on an apology tour
in that video.

Yes.

You don't repent
for some kind of behavior

unless something went wrong.

I wasn't sure
what he was apologizing for.

But there's been allegations
out there about him.

Kim D. Came rearing her head
accusing Luis

of mistreating
past girlfriends,

and emotional abuse,
slashing their tires.

There is something
unsettling about it.

No one says the rumors
are true, but unfortunately,

this video could give it
some credibility.

There's some splaining
to do, Lucy.

I would hope that one of her

close friends
would say something to her,

but it's certainly
not gonna be me.

I mean, Teresa and I
are okay now.

Evan, I apologize to you.
I would never want to do

anything to hurt you
or hurt your family.

And I'd like
to keep it that way.

I mean, you know who would
probably be the most likely

to say something to her?
Jennifer or Dolores.

Listen, I don't think

that Jennifer
has the best judgment.

Have you... you haven't seen
or heard from her.

No.
After last time we saw her,

she's like just trying
to get in between us,

making up lies.

I'm trying to tell you that
she is the cause of the rumor.

She wrote that I'm

a snake in the group.

Then she called Joe Gorga

and Melissa crooks.

So disgusting.

She's a liar, and she has
very big skeletons.

I think she's very unhappy.

- She's all smoke and mirrors.
- Guess what.

And foggy diamonds.
- Yep.

Oh, smoke, mirrors,
and foggy diamonds.

[♪]

- Food is good here.
- Is it?

I've never been here before.
Hi, how are you?

We have a reservation
for Gorga.

Okay. Right this way.

[♪]

Do you know the governor
just lifted all restrictions?

Everything's wide open.

Thank you, Jesus.

You know how many divorces
happened 'cause of that?

They realized, listen,
I don't like you.

I know.
I thought I didn't like you.

I come home
and she's not there

and it's four nights a week.

I did nothing other than go
to a bunch of events.

I'm liking you better now.

Vice versa.

Luckily, she snapped
out of it.

So are you saying
you're in a good place now?

I think so, yes.
Going through something.

- Hi, guys. Hi, babe.
- My man.

[All speaking at once]
- I miss you.

[All speaking at once]
- How are you doing, baby?

- My man.
- How are you?

We haven't seen you guys
since before the pandemic.

Where you been?
What's going on?

Hiding from the disease.

How's everybody doing
this evening?

Can I offer you a drink
from the bar?

Can I do a Belvedere
and soda?

Can I have
a Belvedere martini?

I'ma do the same
but on the rocks.

I'm gonna do
the strawberry martini.

- Okay.
- I'm starving.

Pick what you want
for apps.

We can do meatballs.

We met Tikki and Traci

eight years ago
through a mutual friend.

Do you want
littleneck clams?

It's an aphrodisiac.

We should do that, right?
All right.

And of course, Joe, loving
sports, was super excited

to meet Tikki who was
a legend in the New York

Giants running back world
and he's a sports commentator.

We're just like two peas
in a mother ****ing pod.

I'm just a little
better looking.

And we just
loved each other.

- See, this is why I miss Joe.
- You know I do stand-up now.

We just did a show
in Atlantic City.

I saw.

Who's ready to meet
the househusbands?

[Cheers and applause]

You ever seen a dog
just starts doing this?

- What is wrong...
- I'm like, "Oh, my God."

He's got these little paws.

He can't even jerk off.
I'll help you.

The man's been very busy.

I believe it... aren't you guys
building a house?

- Yes.
- We're in a rental right now.

When's the new house
gonna be done?

I cannot share a bathroom
with dirty boys anymore.

We bought a property
in Franklin Lakes.

The plans got done,
like, two days ago.

I really wanted to get back
to Bergen County

which is so funny.
Teresa and her boyfriend

just bought a house
right next door to our house.

We moved out
and they literally

moved in the same week.
- Wow.

Speaking of, Teresa wrote me
such a sweet text.

She sent me the invite
for her party.

- All right, so you're coming?
- Yeah.

Is her boyfriend
gonna be there?

- Yes. She's in love.
- And?

Listen, she has been,
I think,

looking for "Mr. Right"
for a very long time

and he kind of was like
the knight in shining armor

that, like, swooped in.

[♪]

What?

I don't know.

Speak, Joseph.
This is your sister.

I mean, listen.

[♪]

She's in love.

He kinda of was like

the knight in shining armor

that made her so happy.

What?
- I don't know.

Speak, Joseph.
This is your sister.

I mean, listen, we saw
Joe Giudice make her happy too.

Yeah.

When I first met Luis,
he was cool.

What's the deal
with Teresa, man?

I hear she got a new boyfriend.

- Do you like him?
- I love him.

But now, you know, I-I hear
all this stuff about him.

There is a lot of rumors
about him.

There's also two sides
to every story.

And I mean, there's definitely
been things about us

that have come out
that are completely false.

- Right.
- Listen, I find it hard

to judge other people
based on rumors

because of my own history.

I've been married to Tiki
for nine years.

We have two children,
Brooklyn and Teagan,

and Tiki has four kids
from his first marriage.

He got separated
from his ex-wife

when she was about
eight weeks pregnant.

So when Tiki and I first met

when I was working
at "The Today Show,"

Tiki was already separated
four or five months,

but it blew up into
a full-blown media circus

with rumors swirling.

You can't believe
everything you read,

but what's with the video?

That's a different story.

I just feel like it raises
a red flag.

I-I think the whole setting
was very bizarre.

It's a little odd.
He told me about that camp

when I first met him,
he told me,

listen, I want to take you
to this camp.

But when the video came out,
I watched it.

I'm like, you know,
I'm just not,

you know, I'm really not into
that kind of camp.

It's a retreat for men

to come back from whatever
they're suffering from maybe.

Oh, oh, I see. But something
was off in his life.

Well, what does she say
about it? She's not worried?

She's gonna say,
"He's amazing.

You see the way he apologized?
What an amazing man."

I don't know
what to say anymore

because if I did say it,
I'm... I'm the bad guy.

My brother-in-law
put her in prison.

And I said something and I
was the bad guy. It was that...

That has to weigh heavy
on you though, right?

Like obviously
you can speak your mind

and say how you feel to her?

- Why does she not trust you?
- I don't know.

I don't think it's trust.

I think it's probably
she's really in love

and she doesn't want
to hear anything negative.

But she's not married.
She's not committed to this.

She just... they're...

They just bought
a home together.

Well, no, they
bought a house together.

- That's a big commitment.
- Hold on.

Hold up, I stand corrected.

But all you can do
is judge how he treats you.

That's it.

It could be a great thing
for her.

I'ma drink to that.
Celebrate.

You're my brother
from another mother.

You know what I call that?
B fam.

[laughter]

[Upbeat music]

Big fork, small fork.

All right, Olivia. Good job.

Mom, are we gonna have salad
with dinner?

Because I put a salad fork.

- I can.
- Hi, Mom.

- Hi, guys.
- Hi, Baba.

Put this on the table.
Daddy, come sit.

Okay, who wants salad?

Guys, we use our smaller
forks for the salad.

So fancy.

Mom, can you breathe
in the bandage?

Oh, yeah, I can breathe.
Totally fine with it, babe.

I gotta be honest with you.

Very unusual to cover it
for this long, but...

He told me to do it
for as long as I can.

Now this is week
three, four, five.

It's kind of crazy.

Why?
How do you guys do it here?

You to take the splint off
and that's it.

Here, people don't want anyone
to know they had surgery.

I've been wanting a nose job
for the longest time.

I mean, do you think
the nose looks good?

Um... I don't know.

I don't think it's worse.
I just haven't thought

there was anything wrong
with your nose.

Same.

So I went to Turkey
to visit my brother

and finally meet my nephew.

He had a christening.

And while I was there,

I got my nose
and my chin done.

They put tampons in my nose.

Tampons? Girls...
Is that when they get their...

I went to a doctor in Turkey

that I found on Instagram
over a year ago

because after having my tummy
tuck last year with Bill,

he told me that I was
the worst patient in the world

and he was never doing surgery
on me ever again.

It is nice to have you back.

Yeah, I know that was
a long time for me to be gone.

Daddy, you know I got there
the day before Mom got there

and then... can you
put the phone down?

We're having a conversation,
babe.

Don't you wanna hear
what happened?

Don't you guys... aren't
you guys curious

about what happened with Nana
when I was there?

Oh, yeah.

For the past year,

I've been in a bad place
with my mom.

Me and my mom got into a fight
and like,

I don't think we're just gonna
be talking for a while.

Mike and Mom
came into the apartment

and I just went to her.

I gave her a big hug,
and she started crying.

And I said, "Let's just
be done with it."

- So you guys made up?
- So we made up.

- Yay!
- We made up.

So what's gonna happen
when your mom gets back here?

I mean, listen,
she's not gonna change.

Right. Some issues are best
not fully addressed.

Anyway, you guys have
any homework?

I have AP chemistry tomorrow.

All right, babe.
So then go study.

- Are we done?
- Take your plate.

- Yeah.
- Take your plate by the sink.

You gonna eat that bean salad
or should I chuck it?

I ate half of it.
No one else is eating it.

I'll eat it later maybe.

It was so sweet
to see Olivia happy

that you and your mom made up.

Oh, my God, I know.
I wish it could be

that easy to make amends
with these girls.

You know, last time
we left off,

I thought we were all good.

- To new beginnings.
- New beginnings.

- A fresh start.
- Cheers.

And all of a sudden Melissa

did that big social media rant.

That's... ed up.
She's calling me fake, phony.

It came out of nowhere.

Margaret commented,
Jackie commented.

You know, and I fought back
with my own post.

Maybe calling
Joe Gorga a crook

probably was throwing
more gas in on it.

Yeah, but, like,
I'm just defending myself.

Right.

And then Margaret
had her Pride party.

She had everybody there
except me.

So I don't know

how it's gonna be
at Teresa's summer party.

Just, you know,
take the high road.

Listen, I'm not going there
to fight with anybody.

I'm excited
to hang out with Luis.

- Yeah.
- Bill and I have gone out

to dinner with Luis
and Teresa a few times now.

You know, I know this video
has been

going around about him.

When you see something
like that,

obviously you think like,
"Oh, my God, this is weird."

But, like, that
was a private video

to his girlfriend at the time.

So I don't know
if Teresa saw it.

I'm just nervous
if anybody does bring up

the video to her,
she's gonna flip out.

Yeah, she might
get defensive.

You know, we don't want
anybody in the pool.

Or in your face
for that matter.

- Right?
- [laughs]

Coming up...

I think Luis has
to address the video.

He doesn't owe anybody
an explanation about anything.

- No.
- This is my home.

- Of course. Absolutely.
- Give me the respect.

Give him the respect.
If not, it's not gonna be good.

[♪]

[dramatic music]

Think about what I did.

I could have sat there
and talked about it.

Well, he's gotta grow
a set of balls.

I'm... let me go.
I don't... I don't feel like

talking about this
anymore, okay?

Bye-bye.

[Sighs]

[♪]

You okay?

No.

What happened? Huh?

So my sister calls me up
and tells me that Luis

is upset 'cause what I said
at Atlantic City.

Apparently, a clip
from my Atlantic City show

wound up on some internet blog.

Oh...

I never missed
my brother-in-law so much.

I don't want to talk about it

so I just said something funny.

I'm gonna be honest with you,
because knowing Luis

and how sensitive he is,

like, I knew
that was gonna bother them.

It was funny.

I wasn't bringing
any light to it.

If I sat there
and I sat on stage and I said,

"Oh, my God,
did you see the video?"

That's a different story.

Right.
You blew the video off.

I think you did him a favor.

I did... thank you.

You know, it's not about
just the phone call.

It's a lot of other things.

You know, I hear stuff
from the girls.

Gia's saying this,
and the girls are saying,

"You haven't come around.
You haven't called."

Nobody calls me.

I'm sick of you
stressing out over this.

Yeah,
I don't want to talk about it

'cause I'm just... I'm fed up.

The best thing I have to do
is stay away.

Okay.

So that's why
I'm making the decision.

I'm not going
to the pool party.

I already know that my nieces
are not happy with me.

My sister's unhappy with me.

Luis' unhappy with me again.

I'm the bad guy.
So what am I going there for?

What are you gonna do, babe?
I don't know.

The good guy
always winds up last.

[♪]

Ah, this is heavy. Ugh.

Hi.

Oh, my God,
they look beautiful.

Let's put a pineapple here.
Pineapple there.

Oh, this is
for people to eat it?

I made it, like, decorative

so I could just
put, like, on your drink.

Yeah, oh like that. Okay.
I'll go get more pineapples.

Come on, Bella.

Oh, my God,
I can't freaking do this.

I'm gonna be here forever.

Oh, my God.

[Upbeat music]

Dog, come here. Hey.

- What's going on?
- Getting ready for the party.

Dog's helping me
pick out my clothes.

Hey, Dog.

Dog, what do you think
about this?

No. Okay.

[♪]

These are very summery.
Look at that.

- White shirt.
- I need to wear a shirt?

I thought you said
it was sexy summer.

No. Honest to God, I think
Teresa would be happier

if you did not wear a shirt.

I'm gonna keep it
just for you.

[♪]

It'll be at the party,
but you know what?

The last time Teresa
had a party,

Jennifer was like
that drunken mess.

So drunk.

Don't fall. I'm worried.

Ugh, I think
I'm gonna throw up.

[Retches]
- Oh, my God.

Poor Bill paid, like,

$2,000 to get
the vomit out of that car.

She starts up with you tonight,
what are you gonna do?

I'm not letting
Jennifer ruin my night,

but I'm very disgusted
with her.

She calls me the snake
in the group.

She calls me a liar.

Some behavior's
just unforgivable,

and she's getting
to that point with me.

It's like these girls
sit there

and they come for me.

Do you think they'd
gang up on me tonight?

They did last time.

You are constantly talking

about me,
talking about my husband.

Biggest sh... starter
known to man.

[All speaking at once]

I think it's almost like

one of those high school
group friendships.

Well, in this situation,

they're the group
and I'm the outsider.

You spent some time
with Luis?

- Yeah. Seemed like a nice guy.
- Okay.

Do you think anyone
will bring up that video?

I mean, everybody's obviously
got it on their mind.

Uh... of course.

I wish that you were coming
to this party tonight.

I'm so sorry
I'm gonna miss it.

You know what, even though
I don't like

to bring things up to Teresa,

I might need to let her know
what happened in Atlantic City

when Joe was asked what
he thought about the video.

- Dolores, it was a joke.
- I know that.

What? Teresa has a problem
with Joe with that?

I don't know,
but Teresa is emotional

and her being
protective of Luis.

Chances that she's gonna go
nuts are pretty high.

Good luck.
That's all I have to say.

- Coming up...
- You're not honest.

- I'm being honest.
- You're not.

I should throw her
right in the pool, bro.

[♪]

[upbeat music]

[♪]

Gia, you ready?

[♪]

All right.

Hi. Ooh, tequila.

Pineapple jalapeño.

I'll take a shot.

- Hi.
- Hi, honey.

I'm doing a shot.
Should I wait for you?

- Yes.
- Okay. Put in lime?

Thank you.

- Is Luis coming?
- Luis' on his way.

Oh, good.
Is he nervous to see everybody?

I mean,
I don't know about nervous.

I know Teresa doesn't want
to speak about the video,

but I don't see
how Luis can't be nervous.

He has to walk into a party
wondering

if someone's been talking
behind his back about it.

You know, it's like the pink
elephant in the room.

Cheers.
- Cheers.

But if everyone knows
what's good for them,

they'll keep their mouth
shut tonight.

Can I have another one?

♪ We got to shake
the roof off ♪

♪ We got to scream it loud

Thank you.

Do you mind
if I eat some of that?

Can we wait till

a little bit more people come?

Hi, how are you?

Both: Hi.

- How are you?
- I'm good. How are you?

Hi, Gia.

Oh, my God,
you look so beautiful.

- Hi.
- These are my friends.

At least it's a nice night.
You good?

- I'm good. Yeah, I'm good.
- Okay.

We were not
gonna come tonight.

But Teresa decided to call him.

Luckily, when she called,
she was apologetic.

If we don't go, it actually
brings more tension.

Yeah, but I can't
do anything, you know?

I don't even want
to talk to Luis.

I don't even get near that guy.

- I know 'cause you said...
- If I even say hi to him,

"Oh. You said it wrong."

It is what it is.
She apologized. Moving on.

- Hi, guys.
- Hi. You're summer sexy.

Yes, summer sexy.

[All speaking at once]

Let me get a quick drink.

I'm gonna do vodka, club,
and pineapple.

I feel for Joe.

I feel like we always
just put it under the rug.

Hi. Booby girl.
Your boobs are always out.

- My boobs are always out.
- Oh, Gia. What's up, Gia?

Hi. How are you?

But the issue
never really goes away.

- That's very good.
- Yeah.

No.

- Cheers, ladies.
- Cheers.

Over here.
Come sit over here.

- Hi, guys.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- So pretty.

Thank you for having us.
Thank you.

Gorgeous.
This time last year,

if Evan had his arms
wrapped around Teresa,

they'd probably
be around her neck.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

But it's a lot better
to be friends with Teresa

than to be enemies because
that woman will come for you.

And I want you guys
to get a drink.

- Hi.
- How are you?

[Upbeat music]

- Hi, guys.
- Oh, hi, guys.

- For you.
- How you doing?

- Nice to see you.
- So nice to see you.

Hi, Tiki. Hi, Tiki.
How are you? Nice to see you.

Tiki, I was telling
your wife my dog

is named after you.

- Get out.
- Tiki Josephs. So.

[laughs]
What kind of dog was that?

Very cute. He was a mutt.
Nothing personal.

- You guys want a drink?
- Always want a drink.

Wait, do you eat
a lot of pineapple?

- Obviously.
- Yeah.

That's my kind of girl.

Hi.

So which man's gonna be
with you this evening?

- I'm alone.
- Okay.

So my boyfriend,

you hardly ever see him cause
he's always working.

- Okay.
- And then when I need

a fill-in,
I have my ex-husband.

He's away with his girlfriend
right now in Texas

or something, so [BLEEP] him
and his cowboy hat.

[laughter]

[♪]

- Hi.
- Hey, summer sexy.

- I gotta wash my hands.
- By the way.

I don't think Teresa
will bring up the video.

I think it's a little weird.

How far away are you?

Okay. Why?

Well, I guess
she's stressed out.

There was, like, a little
thing last night, too.

Like we almost didn't come.

- Really?
- All right. I love you.

Yesterday my sister
calls me up

and starts bitching at me.
She like,

"What did you say about Luis?"

You know, he got upset.

Well, people laughed.

It was funny.

Teresa, I wanna let you know

what happened in Atlantic City.

- What?
- When they were on stage,

somebody said "How do you feel
about Luis" to your brother,

and he goes, "Oh, I'm missing
Joe Giudice right now."

Aww, I like that.

"Oh, I like that.
That was nice."

No, it's not.

I wouldn't like it.

And I'm surprised you do.
Luis' okay with it?

I mean, I have to tell him.

I'm just playing dumb.
Like yeah, really?

But I'm sure
he'll be fine with it.

Nobody should even be
getting into Luis' business

like if he cares,
if he doesn't care.

So it's better to pretend

I don't know about it
to not cause any issues.

- It was a comedy show. Relax.
- I'm sorry.

You can't have
all this sh... out there

and expect no one
to talk about it.

- Right.
- Oh, he's here.

- I'll take a seltzer.
- Sure.

Luis should just address
the video.

Once you actually
address it,

then the elephant goes away.

Yeah.

[Dramatic music]

Hey, babe.

- Hi.
- How are you?

I love you.

You know, Luis' here.
This video came out about...

- I didn't see it.
- Oh.

He's sitting in the middle
of a bunch of guys.

It looks like none of them
have any clothes on

and he's apologizing
to a girlfriend.

But it's like a really freaky
frickin' thing.

I just want to say like
Teresa, we care about you.

This is a concern.
- Don't make a big deal.

She just doesn't want anyone

saying anything
about Luis, understand?

- What are you eating?
- Everything.

It's too much.

- Hey, Joe.
- What's up?

How are you doing?
Good to see you.

- Yeah.
- You know Tony.

Yeah.

Luis comes up,
being fake to me

like, "Hello, I love you."

We're just like
this big happy family.

It's all bullsh...

Luis appears to be nervous.

I'm sure. Who wouldn't be,
walking into the ****ing

lion's den over here?

How you been, man?

He has to understand Melissa

was telling me they had
a big family feud last night.

Luis told Teresa

he was upset
what Joe said on the stage.

She ****ing told me
she's fine with it.

That's not what
Melissa told me.

Said they almost
didn't make it here.

Know what the issue is?
Like, that's how bad it was.

- You're ****ing kidding me.
- No.

When you're pretending
you don't care

and you're lying about it,

it makes you look
like you do care.

I'm telling you, I think
Teresa's sugarcoating it all.

It's not abnormal
for everybody to be like,

"What's... what's going on here?"

- Whatever.
- Teresa.

- What?
- Listen.

I think Luis
has to address the video.

Listen, that's part
of his past,

so he doesn't owe anybody
an explanation

about anything, you know.

No, I'm not saying he owes
anybody an explanation.

Yeah.
I think he's an amazing man.

I go by how me and Luis
are present and future.

- I understand that.
- I have a past.

He has a past. I don't care.

And I want everybody
to do the right thing

because this is my home.

Give me the respect.
Give him the respect.

If not, it's not gonna be good.

[♪]

This is my home.
Give me the respect.

- Absolutely.
- Give him the respect.

If not, it's not gonna be good.

Listen, you understand
everybody

just loves you
and is concerned.

I'm a big girl

and it's gonna be
a year next month

and he's been great.
- I get it.

- The girls are here.
- Hi, guys.

- Oh, hi, guys.
- How are you?

Who else is coming?

Where's Jennifer?
Why is she late?

I don't know.

The last time we were here,
her face was on the pavement.

That's the new Jennifer.
Just water.

I gotta get a drink.

The fact that she would go
after our livelihood

and say your word "crooks."

Like, [BLEEP] you.

- What a disaster she is.
- Why?

She tried to destroy
Margaret and my friendship.

She tried to destroy Margaret
and Melissa's friendship.

Margaret said my husband's
a plumber.

You think we don't know
Joe Gorga doesn't pay people?

She called you guys crooked.

She has not supported me
when I was sexually harassed.

Jennifer basically
slut-shames Margaret

all day long.

- Slut shames me.
- Hi, guys.

Hey.

[All speaking at once]

You look beautiful.

She looks totally different.
She's unrecognizable.

Oh, the nose.

Jen, I just told them
you had your nose done.

Yeah.
- Hello?

I can't even ****ing
smile normally.

Her nose looks terrible.

That looks terrible.
I'm sorry. It's bad.

No, that's not nice.
That's... that's...

I don't care.
Her nose looks bad.

I would love a cup of water
with ice.

I thought she was
beautiful before this.

Let's go over here.
- Okay.

Maybe I need
to see it up close.

I can't... [laughs]
I can't handle. Hi.

- How are you?
- How are you?

[All speaking at once]
- Hi. How are you?

Hi. You see me? I'm here.

- She can bite my asshole.
- The hole.

They're just so mean.

You guys hungry?

- You guys should start...
- Okay, great.

[Upbeat music]

- Luis. Sit by me.
- So Frankie is doing good.

He's one of the best guys
I've ever worked with.

- Really? He looks up to you.
- Hey, Sweetie. Muah.

I think Jennifer
feels awkward.

And she should.

- Hey, babe, you have a minute?
- Yeah, yeah.

She needs to do
the apology tour.

How am I supposed to act
when, like,

they just all walked
past me like that?

Who walked past you?

All of them when
we were standing right here.

Obviously, I saw Melissa
was still mad at me

when she posted that thing.

I realized
Margaret was mad at me

when she didn't invite me
to her Pride party.

But Jackie, I thought we were
gonna let bygones be bygones.

Well, did you talk to Jackie?

No, I'm not like...

Want me to get Jackie here?

- Yeah.
- All right.

She was vicious towards you.

She was vicious
towards both of you.

- Jackie, come here.
- Yeah.

She wants to say hi to you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

She wants
to say hi to Jackie.

- Cheers. Cheers. Okay.
- Yes, cheers.

My house,
all happiness, love.

Yeah. Okay.
Are you mad at me?

- I'm upset with you.
- Okay,

'cause I really thought
the last time

we all saw each other,
we all ended on a good note

and I would love it
if you could just tell me

why you're mad at me
and then maybe I could fix it.

Yeah, okay. Well, you know

that Margaret is
one of my best friends

and you concocted a story

to try and drive
a big wedge between us.

You also thought
that Margaret

was the source of the rumor.

It's just a theory.

I shouldn't have said it.
I regret it.

But do you know how hard
it is for me knowing

that it's all three of you
against me?

Well, Jennifer,
you did that to yourself.

The things that you say.

What's going on
with Jennifer and Jackie?

I don't know.

Listen, you guys
got to understand.

I think I'm great friends
with Teresa and Dolores,

but I do believe also
that they don't stick by me

the way that you three do
and that's okay.

No, don't cry.
Don't cry.

I don't want you to feel alone.

I mean, I don't get
anything out of seeing

one person feel alone.

I'm a forgiver, okay?
- Okay.

So if you're a friend to me,
I'll be a friend to you, okay?

I think you need to talk
to Melissa and Margaret.

I almost want to drag Jackie
out of that conversation.

Margaret, I want to talk to.

But I don't think I need
to apologize to her.

She started with me that day.

Hi.

I was talking to Jackie

'cause I was just wondering
why she was mad at me.

I mean, we've come
to our own understanding,

but I do think that you guys

need to figure out
what your understanding is.

I was a little shocked.

You called me
a snake in the group.

- Yeah, I call...
- I'm gonna let you guys talk.

Yeah, I call it
when I see it.

- Jennifer.
- Listen, it was tit for tat.

When I give it back to you,
all of a sudden, you're mad.

But you never know
when to stop.

- What happened?
- I mean, it was awkward.

But she was like, "I understand
why they're mad at me.

Why are you mad at me?"
She cried.

I think that you
are unhappy.

I get that that's your truth.

I get that and you're totally
entitled to your opinion.

Ooh. Are they fighting?

I wake up feeling blessed.

I love my house.
I love my husband.

He allowed me
to make things happen

that never
could have happened for me

without having a man
nag me about the bill.

Do you know what a ****ing
blessing that is?

It's not about
the ****ing money, Jennifer.

[Tense music]

Look at Marge and Jennifer
over there.

It's not about the money,
but it is about him

trying to do everything he can

to let me
be the perfect mom to my kids.

Marge should throw her
right in the pool, bro.

He's spending his life

making up for mistakes
he's made in the past.

- Mistake he's made? Okay.
- Yes.

You know what?
You're just jealous.

You're not being honest.

How do you know
about my honesty?

Jennifer, we all know.

- Are you guys okay?
- Yeah.

No, she keeps saying
I'm not being honest

and I don't know what
I'm not being honest about.

I don't... I'm not gonna
do it here.

She's mad
that I called her a snake.

Everyone's got ****ing
skeletons in the closet.

But you talk about everybody
else's but never your own.

I don't talk
about anybody else's.

You attacked me
from the beginning.

The way
that she met her husband

I thought was very taboo.

It felt shameless to me.

And you attacked my mother
and you called her slutty.

You know what, Margaret?

You're used to
an environment of cheating.

Your mother... ed someone
for 15 years.

I get it!

You make it out like you're
better than everybody else.

I don't think I'm better
than everybody else.

I can't relate to people
who have affairs

with married people.

I guarantee you someone

in the Syrian Christian
Orthodox community

has... ed somebody else's
wife or husband.

I'm sure they have.

But you chastise me...

Because you were
so vocal about it.

Because it's so shameful,
right?

You're not honest.

- I'm being honest.
- You're not.

You can't ****ing take it
how honest I am.

You always say,
"Bill's the best."

Listen, he had an affair.
- You're jealous.

Everybody knows, and that's
why he left his old job.

Her marriage isn't as perfect
as she says it is.

Bill had the affair with the
office manager for two years.

She's not an office manager.

She was a ****ing
pharmaceutical rep,

you ****ing idiot,
if you can get the facts right.

Okay.
