The take-away from this episode of The Actual Housewives of New Jersey appears to be loyalty. And even when somebody says they aren’t going to let you know not to be pals with somebody, they may nonetheless be mad at you IF you select to be pals with that particular person.
Simply ask Rachel. After seeing Jen Fessler “cozying up” with Teresa, she is questioning their friendship. Plus, a college-bound Gabriella retains Teresa out of the combo, as she was dwelling prepping to ship her off to highschool. Good factor, as a result of it’s not like she would have been invited to Missy G’s Italian celebration for Joe anyway…
We’re nonetheless down on the Jersey Shore and the homes are nonetheless very a lot divided into what appears to be groups, minus the few who can experience the fence. That is simply tremendous in idea, however in actuality, the friendships get muddied, inflicting extra drama than obligatory…however we are going to get again to that later. The Fuda home has ready a surprising unfold of muffins to serve their company, however not a lot will get eaten (thank goodness, cuz not a lot was supplied) earlier than John begins questioning Jen Fessler.
John is confused why Jen would even entertain Teresa the evening earlier than, notably since Teresa has been nothing however sh*tty to Rachel and her household. Jen tries to calmly clarify what her motive was when it got here to speaking to Teresa and admits that it was about Teresa studying she mentioned the group did “not execute the plan” they mentioned on the reunion. Jen justifies the sit-down with the enemy by stating she doesn’t have any beef with Teresa and Louie, and with that, the music actually stops as Rachel reminds us that not so way back, Jen didn’t even need to be in the identical ROOM as Teresa and Louie.
Jen tries to behave like a hero for making Teresa make clear the John as a drug seller rumor, however Rachel is irritated. She thought she may depend on Jen to be on her aspect when it got here to Teresa.
It’s good climate for Joe’s Italian-themed occasion to rejoice his final yr in his forties. Margaret tells Joe and Melissa that Dolores is staying at Jennifer’s home and now that Teresa went dwelling to take Gabriella to school, that leaves Jen alone since she (clearly) just isn’t invited to the Gorga occasion. Dolores is feeling a bit awkward, however she will probably be in attendance anyway. Melissa claims that Jen instigates some stuff, on prime of being ridiculously loyal to Teresa, however she is not sure what Jen’s drawback is together with her, since final yr she def tried to harm Melissa.
Over a Turkish breakfast at Jen’s shore home, they focus on Nate’s celebration of life occasion and Invoice is lastly out of surgical procedure (lol). Jen talks about how Melissa has been avoiding her and so Dolores means that Jen speak to Melissa about it. Jen reminds her that she has traditionally at all times been the one to apologize and transfer on. She’s getting bored with it.
As a option to lengthen an olive department (and since he is aware of Teresa is tied up at dwelling), Joe decides that he’ll name Invoice as much as invite him to the occasion. Invoice kindly declines, because the wives are nonetheless not in an awesome place and it has been bothering Jen so much. Invoice stories again to Jen, who lastly appears like Invoice has her again…after fairly a number of seasons of him being wishy-washy. Jen states that she doesn’t want an apology and appears like Joe is solely attempting to place a band assist on the larger points.
Gabriella is heading to school in 3 days and the perfect half about this section is Juicy Joe mocking Teresa’s whats up on FaceTime. The entire women are in tears till Louie walks in with their drink orders. We be taught that Joe just isn’t serving to pay for faculty, so it lands on Teresa…and Louie. It’s loopy how a lot the entire dorter’s voices sound precisely the identical and it’s additionally shocking to really hear Gabriella speak- that is essentially the most we’ve ever heard her speak in 14 seasons.
After the shifting vehicles come to take Gabriella’s issues away, Teresa and Louie sit right down to recap the evening earlier than. Teresa can hardly consider that John Fuda is mad as a result of he thought she meant he was the most important drug seller now. Teresa laughs about John considering he’s the God Father and Louie calls him one “ugly mom f*cker.” Teresa thanks Louie for dealing with every part with grace and for respecting the night for what it was meant to be.
Later, Dolores kisses Jenifer goodbye and he or she heads to the Italian pageant, I imply Joe’s occasion. Marge Senior is in attendance together with Kayla and Jamie…one of many new {couples} that retains getting added into the combo. John arrives with a blow up doll reward for Joe, however as an alternative of creating Melissa giggle, she is extra grossed out by it. Frank is again on our screens-praise be- and Jackie is there, feeling misplaced, particularly since Danielle purposely excluded her from Nate’s occasion.
As the lads sit round, John claims he’s getting attacked on a number of ranges over baseless rumors and all I’ve to say is, thank goodness for Frank. He breaks the stress and asks John in regards to the double-headed d*ldo rumor, which causes the lads to erupt in laughter, relatively than aggression.
Rachel learns by Margaret that Joe known as Invoice to ask them to the occasion and that Invoice declined, as a result of rift between Melissa and Jennifer. Talking of rifts, Rachel doesn’t perceive why Jen Fessler is combating her battle, particularly after she let Jen into her life. Margaret doesn’t like that Jen and Teresa had been laughing within the nook, and he or she needs to take a seat and speak with Jen to determine it out.
It’s Gabriella’s farewell occasion and so Teresa has determined to host a celebration at a restaurant that her pal of 30 years manages. It’s so good to see the entire dorters come collectively, particularly Milania and Gabriella, who’re 16 months aside. Teresa looks like she’s gonna be misplaced with out this one…
Within the meantime, they’re busy doing a*s photographs out of a blow up doll at Missy G’s whereas Jennifer and her daughter play boardwalk video games. The juxtaposition is hilarious. Because the Italian themed occasion wears on, Frank talks to Dolores and Paul about proposing to Brittany whereas he’s in Costa Rica. Dolores offers her blessing and understands that Frank is extra able to be a husband now than he was years in the past.
Marge, Jen, and Rachel lastly get collectively and the entire Teresa convo is instantly addressed. Margaret states, “I’m dying to listen to about your chit chat” with Teresa. Jen tries to clarify that Teresa was mad as a result of Teresa heard that Jen was speaking in regards to the reunion plan. Rachel and Margaret don’t consider that Jen owes Teresa any rationalization. Jen refuses to confess that she speaks “poorly about Louie incessantly.” And Jackie plops down, inserts herself, and wonders why Margaret is getting labored up about Louie. Margaret just isn’t anticipating Jen to battle Teresa, however she doesn’t must have her head up Teresa’s a*s.
Jen and Margaret start to yell backwards and forwards and Rachel reminds Jen that she basically thought she was a experience or die. Jen lets Margaret and Rachel know, “I ain’t your solider,” which takes them again, after which follows that up with, “I’ve obtained you, however I’m not gonna be you,” which you understand doesn’t sit properly with Rachel. Rachel tearfully explains that she loves and values Jen, however is confused why Jen would need to befriend somebody that’s attempting to harm her household. Earlier than storming off, Margaret tells Jen,“ It’s bizarre [that you’re choosing to be friends with Teresa] since you knew us first and also you f*cking simply met this lady,” but Jen stays adamant that she is an effective pal to Margaret and Rachel.
Margaret and Rachel fill Danielle in on what simply went down. Rachel retains saying how exhausting it’s to look her finest pal within the eye as a result of she has befriend Teresa. She appears like she is being attacked by her finest pal and retains saying she doesn’t need to inform Jen not to be pals with Teresa…buuut she kinda is.
In keeping with Rachel, Danielle does a superb job of receiving info that Rachel says about Teresa (who occurs to be Danielle’s buddy) and Danielle can see that it doesn’t look like Jen is displaying very a lot loyalty to Rachel. Jen leaves the occasion, nevertheless it’s attention-grabbing as a result of she’s imagined to be sleeping at Rachel’s home that evening…so which may awkward.
