Previously

on the Real Housewives of New Jersey You're in my house now I'm a woman hear

roar I'm opening a boutique Joe has not given me even one dollar towards envy

The tree looks beautiful CJ and I did that Ashley moved back from California.

We've had such a great relationship since we've been home. She's like,

this is your ex -fiancé's house.

Let's go. Let's go.

Teresa, Dolores, and I, we still all hang out together.

Heart, you were asking about me.

I got a note from Teresa.

It confused the shit out of me. You want a cup of coffee?

I put a booze inside.

The only good thing that has happened this past year is that my parents are

filing back.

And I hope when Teresa comes out, my parents won't pick sides.

We got permission for her.

Hi, honey.

Welcome home.

I love you, girl.

Fool me once, same on me.

Fool me twice, you better run.

I always act like a lady, but now I think like a boss.

I was raised Jersey Strong.

Nothing in this life can shake me.

Some people think I'm too much. I love it. They're absolutely right.

I used to flip tables.

Now, I'm turning them.

Good morning. Merry Christmas.

So as you know, this morning, Teresa Giudice was released from the Federal

Correctional Institution at Danbury, Connecticut.

She's safe and sound in her own home. She is on home confinement.

My heart is beating.

her probation officer.

She's very much looking forward to a nice, quiet, low -key holiday with her

family. I'm still sad in a way, but I'm happy.

Teresa did have one message, which was, Merry Christmas, and that all of you

should go and be with your loved ones. Thank you.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Wow. I know there's hard feelings, but if you can have that emotion.

Well, I'm human.

For God's sake. I mean, this is someone I had a history with.

I've been upset with her. I never stopped caring.

I'm happy for her. She's finally home with her family.

Mommy's home.

So now I can just dream about Christmas.

How happy the kids must be to have their mom back. They must have suffered a lot

during this too.

Were you surprised at your emotions? Because I kind of wasn't.

I don't know.

When the door was slammed in my face, and it was, I had to move forward. I

on. So, you think she had time to reflect?

To go from saying she doesn't think about me to her reaching out to me.

We have a lot to catch up on. Looking forward to a new beginning.

It's hard to find a friend like you. Do you really think Teresa feels like that?

There's no other reason for her to reach out to you.

It's not over for her. She's got her husband going away soon.

She's going to need... close family and friends to lean on. And I can't tell by

her note if she's asking me to be one of those people.

So what do you think I should do? Sit back and wait to hear from her. Don't

I wouldn't call.

All right. So you know what?

Let's do what else is going on here. Leave it to the universe. Whatever

is going to happen. Oh, that's her new car.

Oh, wow.

She's got a new Lexus.

Get out of prison. Get a brand new car.

Same old Teresa.

They're probably, you know, all happy.

Let me see. Look at that.

It's a beautiful thing.

We've all been through hell and back, and she had a lot of influence

on our entire family.

Even with you. I promise you I'm going to do anything I can to make sure your

parents keep coming here every week. You know you're going to do the right

things. It's up to her. She wants to let us all in the right way. Good. And if

not...

You know, then the family... When Teresa went in, we were at peace, but we

didn't really have a relationship.

Antonia, I'm so excited for tomorrow. You know how you haven't seen Teresa in

while? She'll be here tomorrow.

Her not letting me come visit, her not putting me on the list, I don't want to

judge that completely because, I mean, who knows?

Okay. Enough for that. I don't know if she's going to pick a fight with me or

she's going to come out with a halo over her head with, you know, her tail

between her legs.

So we're going to have a good time tomorrow.

Your whole family haven't had that in a couple of Christmases, right? Yeah.

Your dad's going to be so happy.

Mommy, I don't like my eyebrows.

All right, we're going to do something. I'm staring them all off.

Close your eyes.

I'm going to scream.

You want to get your eyebrows back so you can still want to do it after this?

Yeah. Yeah?

Yeah,

right now. The whole time. No, not the whole time.

It's so great being home with my daughters. I love holding, hugging,

them. I love you.

But I look outside my window, I see paparazzi there, and if I have to leave

house, I have to get permission.

So things are not just quite back to normal.

You look ugly.

Do you look like a razor or something?

Yeah.

Okay, just let them grow. They look beautiful.

Santa's coming tonight, Joey. He comes down the chimney right there tonight.

Hello?

Who's this? I haven't seen this number in a year.

Oh, my God. It feels like I never left with my daughter.

Good. All right, listen, can you pick us up? Because there's paparazzi here.

What time you got to leave?

Well, you know, Daddy, don't tell them what time I have to be home because then

they're going to be like, oh, I have to leave like two hours before.

All right, I won't tell Daddy.

All right, you got it. All right, you got it. Bye.

My little innocent sister.

She's wearing an ankle bracelet. I'm like, what the hell?

Why do we need to leave at 11 .30?

Tomorrow's Christmas and Santa Claus needs to come and we all need to be in

All right, we're still going to take a picture.

Great.

So is this good, Gia? You approve?

Yeah, you look fine.

We take a family photo every year for our Christmas card. You should always

back at them and be like, oh, my God, I remember this day.

Dad, put your chin up, Dad.

Your chin.

Gia, why don't you lift your chin up?

You want to take one of the four girls?

No, before they didn't want to take a picture. Now everybody wants to take a

picture. You shut up.

Usually I have to pay for my Christmas photo this year. The magazine is willing

to pay me to take pictures of me.

What am I doing?

Take a picture of the four sisters. Okay, I didn't know that. Okay, okay,

So everyone chill out.

This whole legal stuff has really left us in a bad place.

Their price tag on my face is never going to be as high as it is right now.

Yesterday they got my first photo of me coming home, and they also wanted a

first Christmas photo with my family. My five beautiful women.

I haven't made any money in the past year. All my businesses went to shit,

haven't been out.

promoting my cookbook. They haven't really been selling.

So I'm coming home to a situation where I need to make money.

Right here.

Right here.

Okay, like that. I have four daughters. I have to feed them. I have to start

saving money for college.

And Joe's going away in a few months. So a lot of this is all going to be on me.

Thank you. We're done.

Okay.

Teresa. Yes.

Hi. Oh, look at you.

How you doing?

Oh, what's up, honey?

Nothing.

You're so skinny.

Am I?

How you doing? Good, good. Grab something to hide yourself with.

All right. All right. We won't open the garage. We won't open the garage. It

doesn't matter. You jerk off all over the place. What is that?

Who gives a shit about the paparazzi? You know how it is. It's crazy.

I'm more emotional. You know, I want to, hey, I love you. I miss you. I hug you.

You got to hide yourself, right? I just don't know what I'm feeling yet. I'm

hoping that this family will overcome all this.

There's paparazzi everywhere. They're everywhere.

You messed up everything.

It's fine. It's fine.

Teresa and I have always alternated Christmas Eve. I mean, it hasn't always

good. She brought me sprinkle cookies.

I threw them in the garbage.

I think I'll just make sure I don't do a smoky eye this year.

Who the hell would want to be that friggin' raccoon fish?

No one calls me a raccoon.

It's a happy day in the neighborhood.

What is it today?

She's coming through the window. Big one.

All right.

Merry Christmas.

Why are you guys coming in the side door?

We came through the garage.

You didn't hear? No.

Paparazzi can't get my picture. Why can't you get your picture?

Honey, because people got my exclusive.

Got you. Okay. When she walked through the door, it's like, everything's good.

What's up? Like she was just like took a trip to the mall and she's back. But I

know my sister -in -law and I can see it in her eyes that she's been through a

lot. Hi.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, yes.

I love you. I love you. I haven't seen my dad since the whole time that I was

gone.

I pray every single night for my parents.

I would just, like, please, God, make him be okay.

So just hugging him just is, like, the best feeling ever.

We got to bring it to the table.

Okay, you can sit next to me. What do you want to drink?

Come on, come on. I'm down, Mom.

No, start eating.

Dino, Joey. Come on, hold him.

Thank you, Lord, for my beautiful wife being home today with us to enjoy this

beautiful evening.

We're just glad you're home.

Thank you.

Salud. Salud. And welcome home.

Salud. Can I open up my present, Dad? Yes. As soon as we're done eating. But

listen. Christmas is not all about gifts. Christmas is all about

Jesus Christ.

Because this is the night that he resurrected.

Wasn't this the night he died or the night he resurrected? I don't even know.

No, it's the day he was born.

Okay, the day he was born. You need to go to church tonight.

Melissa, I have to be home by certain time.

What time do you have to be home tonight? 1130.

That's not bad.

That's when I feel like they gave me pretty late.

Do you have, like, one person that's, like, in charge of you? Yeah, yeah,

And who's nice and everything?

Believe me, I'm going to follow the rules. I have no... Hi, sweetheart.

I love you.

I'm going to get a glass of water.

I'll help.

Do you have to be careful with that table? Because it's, like, mirror,

Yeah, I always have to put a tablecloth on it. Hold on.

You're always a tough guy.

I'm tougher than you. I cry.

I'm going to cry for you.

I, you know, I just want to say I was, like, looking forward to coming here.

And I just wanted to give back to how you were when you first met Joey and

you first guys got married. Because then, you know, honestly, I feel the

way. It makes me nervous to hear them talking. I hope that Teresa can forget

forgive. I know how my brother is. He will love for us.

Could be close. He would. I know he would. I thought that would make him

But I don't want you to do it just for your brother. I want to make a real

relationship between you and I. I don't have a sister. It's going to be real.

That's why.

I love that you were with my parents. And that shows me that you're stepping

to the plate.

I want to be like my sister.

Didn't I say that to you?

I felt that, but then sometimes I feel like you put this wall up with me. You

don't let me in, and I want to be your family. I want to help you.

Sometimes I feel like it's surface.

Like we can't really get there all the way.

I felt like I tried to hold you next to me, and you weren't reciprocating.

Because I didn't feel like it was genuine.

But if I feel, I don't know.

Listen, I don't know.

Believe me, if you are genuine, I could feel it. I love you like... A true

sister. Show it to me. I do.

You know me. If you show it to me. That's what I'm telling you. Okay. Come

Let's be real. Honestly. Let's be real now.

Coming up next.

There's no point if I'm going to be leaving.

Lonnie, come on, man.

Three. Come on. Let's be real.

Let's be real now. We're being real. It all started at the christening.

Oh, my God.

Why are we talking about the christening?

Take a walk. Take a walk. It's garbage. That six -month -old baby is now in

kindergarten. If we go down that road, we're screwed.

But that was between you and your brother, and I don't want to go back

From there, it snowballed. It did, but not every event is on me. This is how I

feel. You should have stuck with me no matter what.

Family is like family. But why are you sick with me?

I was on Gilligan's Island all by myself. Honey, it was you, Caroline,

Jacqueline, and Kathy. I never jumped in a boat with them.

Yeah. I never said you were a stripper. You are lying. You're one of the flyers

who are sick. You are going to hell.

I don't want to rehash, okay?

Yeah, but you gotta understand, if you're on Gilligan's Island, something

done with them is separate from what we've done. If they ever talked about

you should have shut it down right then. Have you shut down everybody who's

talked about me? Yes, honey, you have. I did.

Yes, I mean...

There was pennies. There was Johnny. No.

Who's behind this cheating thing?

It was your sister. She has this army behind her that's spreading these

allegations about my wife. Stop hurting her!

Someone's bashing me?

You stick up for me. Ditto.

Ditto. And I promise you I will. Because from here on out, that's the way we

roll. And I love that. But please don't stand there and say that you've always

done that. I'm not saying I have. You've got to take some fall because you have

it. Okay, I'll take fall. If that's what you want to hear, I'll take fall. No, I

want you to mean that we've both done things wrong together. I was involved

people that didn't like you. And maybe I was hurt at the time. You're saying

that you didn't do what you were expecting me to do. At the time, I was

Correct. So now this is my point.

Other women are trying to start trouble between us, right? You let me know, I

let you know.

That's what sisters, best friends, sister -in -laws do.

Liz and I, we're both smart women. We know if we want things to be good, we

got to move forward. Deal? Deal. Okay.

Yeah, I like it. I'm willing to forgive.

I'm definitely a changed person. I'm a better person.

And I'm just going to enjoy every moment, you know, that I have with my

There's going to be no funny coming from this end. I so don't have the head for

that.

And I'll just walk away.

Oh, my God, they all match. How cute. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

Say Santa.

Santa.

Maya. All right, girls, start getting your shoes and jacket. We're going to

leave. How do they know if you left NLM? Because there's a monitor at my house.

What do you want, chocolate? Tony, you want anything? Look at all this good

stuff. I was going to put this up for New Year's Eve. Who are you going to

over? You guys.

Dolores.

Come on, sit down.

This is my first time in a long time to be in therapy.

Probably in 17 years. Okay.

If I talk too much, you have to interrupt because I talk a lot.

I'm here to listen. Yeah, but you have to talk too.

Go ahead.

The last time I came to therapy, I was going through a divorce with a one

-old and a three -year -old.

You know, he had met someone else, and I was nine months pregnant, and he left.

Seventeen years ago, my marriage ended.

A woman always knows when a man's cheating on her. He smelled like

My husband and I were young. We were, you know, up and coming. He was an

attorney. And I'm just broken.

I find everything out. You were the detective.

I used to be a cop.

I'm inherently a detective.

For six years, I worked in the courtroom, I worked in the cell block, I

transported prisoners, and I don't like people screwing me over. I even came to

him, I said, tell her it's over and mean it, and I will never mention this again

because I wanted it that bad. He said, I can't.

I never remarried. I got engaged, but it didn't work out.

Not a bad guy, except all the extracurricular activities that made my

husband look like a Boy Scout.

So when I found out, packed everything, and moved back to my old house.

Now what am I supposed to do?

I put five years into somebody I thought I was going to have a future with.

I'm lost.

Right.

Right. You know.

So you have to stop and really start to think what's important.

What are the things that give you meaning?

Just you alone.

And that's how you start to figure out what's next.

I almost feel like I don't exist unless I'm caring for someone else.

Now it's your turn. Now it's my turn. So what do you think? Am I crazy?

Not even close.

I'm selfless to a fault.

So I need to figure out how to take care of myself and enjoy it. It sounds like

you know what you need to do. You're finding your footing.

But listen, we have to wrap up. I look forward to seeing you next week. Well,

thank you.

Thank you. And now you've got a few things. You did a good job. You know, I

up in an Irish, Italian, Catholic neighborhood.

We were not meant to talk about our feelings.

So don't tell anybody. You know, I'm, like, emotional a little bit.

Mom's the worst. I have a reputation to protect.

Hi. How are you?

Good. I need your help, though.

What are you going to talk about?

I'm going to make him an espresso.

I want to go out for New Year's Eve.

Oh, my God. Like, Joe, really? Could you imagine Daddy?

I wouldn't even dare to ask Daddy, right?

We were with Daddy every New Year's Eve until, like, after we got married.

I don't care. It's different.

I would say, hell no, but you're so... I look at you and I melt. Whatever you

tell me to do, I'll fight for you. Where are you going to be?

Momville? Yeah.

You know what? Because she was so great this year. She deserves a reward. She

does. I'll keep calling.

Joey!

What's up?

Put everything in there. Hi, honey.

You want to tell him now? He went food shopping.

He already mentioned it. He knows I'm not going to be here. Okay, we'll tell

him. So my sister and my brother are coming, so... Look at her face.

Why do you invite the whole world?

Oh, shut your face, you little fathead. Go to bed.

Oh, my God. She's like such a... Hon, she wants to... Yeah, I know she wants

leave, so let her leave. She's like a little pain in the ass, this kid, with

and her friends.

I gotta still analyze the whole thing with Joe and Gia. You know, they're

definitely butt and head.

Go ahead, have an ice cream.

My husband needs to cool it a little bit.

But you know what? I just want to make her happy.

That's what teenagers do. Yeah, whatever.

When I was her age, I used to have to do what my parents said, all right?

Times have changed, Joe.

You guys do whatever you want. Okay, don't ask me.

When do you knock? I didn't even wait for a stop.

What are you doing?

Just texting my boyfriend.

I need a little concealer.

What do you think I need? Lips?

Is that where you found that concealer?

Oh, no.

Was it here? Yes.

You're so wired right now.

I had two espressos. Dad got new espressos for the espresso machine.

Oh, I like these hangers, too. These are the nose slips.

Yeah, they're my favorite. I just went and I bought like 500 of them. But

there's no point if I'm going to be leaving.

Coming up.

I don't want you to work.

I don't want a part -time life.

What do you mean leaving? Like, you've been able to save so much money.

I know. And you should probably stay here and just keep saving more money.

My boyfriend's 30. I'm 25.

You want to move out? I finally like you living here.

We have needs that we can't necessarily fill here.

I don't think I want this visual.

You and Dad have your time. How do you know?

You're really loud.

You're vocal.

I was just saying.

You should probably live here a little longer.

But I'm really proud of you.

Being home has been nice. My mom and I will still get in our little arguments,

but we get along more like sisters.

We do the craziest things.

It's been great.

But Pete and I want our own space to hang out.

Do you hear Nick?

He's probably up to no good.

I'm going to go check on him.

Be sure to close the door on your way out because Teddy and I would like some

alone time. I don't want to hear you.

No more waffles. Not that great.

We're going to finish up whatever we have, and then we're going to eat

healthy, healthy.

My friend's here.

Hi.

How are you?

Dolores and I go way back.

We're Italian.

We're freaking honest. We ain't got to get in everybody's business.

Like, we're both cut from the same cloth. Hi, Adriana. We're like true

We'll stick with you till the end. Have you been out yet?

No. Do you even want to go out of the house a little bit, right?

Yeah. I think I need to go away for a year because Teresa is shredded with a

-pack. Love you.

Love you. She looks better than me, okay?

And I'm like, not bad, you know?

What time today do you have to be back? Four o 'clock.

You're nervous driving. I haven't driven in so long.

Yeah.

Okay, so I really think that we can do a nice job. We can put, like, some jeans,

one line. I think we need the construction done before we can have

Oh, no, we can't. But I just want you to focus on denim.

The boutique is something I want to make happen for me.

I think they still have to build out right here. I have a BA in elementary

education, and I never actually went to teach because Joe was like, stay home

and take care of the kids. Take like one or two lines of jeans.

It's important that when I am 70 years old that I feel like I'm not just a

successful wife and mom, but I'm a successful businesswoman as well.

Joey, where's your jacket? Get your jacket. Come on, Joey. I'm getting wet.

you guys want to just mention that it's taking a little longer than we thought

because I think I'd rather not say that.

Come on.

See, mommy?

This is envy.

Do you love it?

This is all going to get painted, and we're going to put clothes.

Do you like it, Joey?

No?

It's just dirty right now. It's going to look pretty. You guys like this?

It's working. It's looking good.

We thought it was going to be done quicker.

How much longer do you think?

You guys leave me alone, say two weeks.

What? I want it to open in two weeks. You're making me crazy.

How much longer? How much longer? Go pick up the kids at the school.

I'm like Mr. Mom.

I'm just trying to say, like, if I need a little extra help with the kids, like

a little bit, it's not the end of the world. That's all I'm saying.

I don't want you to work.

I said I want you home.

I didn't want a part -time wife.

Part -time wife? What the hell is a part -time wife?

That's so rude.

There's, like, people here that I am the boss of.

He's embarrassing me.

Once it's up and running, I'm going to be home in time to grab them, bars,

cheer, football, dance, everything.

Okay, I'm promising you this. Can you trust me?

I don't know. I'm speechless.

I think I'm a single parent now. Get them dressed, bathe them, clean their

butts. What do you want me to do? I might as well start giving them nipples.

What?

Oh, my God. Just stop yourself.

Let's go. I'll produce some milk as we speak right now. You see, my boobs are

growing. Oh, my. I can't with you. Let's go, guys. Come here. Taste.

My nails need to be done so bad.

Mine, too. I haven't gotten mine done in a long time.

Hi. Long time no see.

Good to see you too.

I was away with a bunch of women.

If you wanted your hair done, you'd get your hair done. If you wanted manicure,

you'd get a manicure.

I really wasn't big on getting pedicures, but I did get an ingrown

because I cut my own toenails and I guess I didn't do a good job.

And oh my God, it hurt more than having a baby.

Everybody in my dorm heard me scream.

But it was her.

I never had that before. Do you feel like they treated you worse?

Because you were somebody different. I was just normal. I watched more. That's

what I was wondering.

I just wanted to follow the rules. I don't even care.

But that's how you always were. You know how they say, don't let the time do

you. You do the time. Right. That's what I did. And I just worked out every day.

And you meditated, you said. That helped you?

I did yoga.

Teresa's tired.

I think she has a little post -traumatic stress.

I'm like so much more relaxed.

Oh, wow.

She seems nervous. She seems jumpy. But Teresa will always say everything is

fine. Even going to prison, she was like, I'll see you for lunch next week.

she was going to prison a week from now. I said, okay, I'll see you for lunch.

Maybe not where we're used to going, though.

So what are you doing for New Year's Eve?

I have no plans at all. I'm going to have people at the house if you want to

come. All right. Sounds good.

Oh, my brother's texting me. Happy birthday.

Who cares about birthdays?

It's your birthday? Yeah.

Happy birthday. He's looking for me. Thank you.

Yeah, thank you.

Why didn't you tell me? Because I don't want to acknowledge my birthday.

We have to do something for your birthday.

No, we don't. Yes, we do. I don't like birthdays. I am like an invalid when it

comes to having attention drawn to me.

It's just nice to go to dinner.

But what stopped me, aha moment, I'm getting everybody together for my

Why don't we call it a reunion dinner?

So who would you want to come?

Well, you and Melissa. I want Siggy there. You have to meet Siggy.

Watch, it might be hot.

Oh,

that's delicious.

Love her.

Okay. Jacqueline.

I just haven't seen her in a long time.

Well, now's the time.

Jacqueline. Who's, like, my buddy. Like, I don't know, my best friend. And we'll

see. I'm not just jumping in the pool with Jacqueline. I'm going to take it

slow. For my birthday present, I want things to be the way they used to. Put

everything behind us, and let's start there.

What do you think?

Okay. You know, if that's what you want for your birthday, your wish will come

true. That's what I want for my birthday.

Coming up.

Can you see what time it is?

I'm so late.

You better be home by 12.

There's going to be a problem.

Hey, dear. Wait.

Dear.

Honey,

you look hot tonight.

I feel very Olivia Newton -John.

Do I have camel toe in these pants?

Do I have the seam?

Sometimes it gives...

You don't have camel toe. Are you sure? It's not like... Yeah.

It went from being like you and I for New Year's to like Richie, Kathy, Rosie.

And then Dolores said she's going to go see Teresa and then she's going to come

stop by here.

Are they having a big party or no? I don't know because I don't talk to her.

Since I've been home, Dita's been crazy.

You've only been here for a couple of days.

What did you do about your color?

Oh, I did my color there.

Did your own color? Guess how much it cost me. What did it cost you?

$3 .75 or $4 .75?

To buy a box of color.

Look at her doing her makeup.

Since I've been home, I'm really tired, so this is not one of my typical

parties. It's like Hollywood. All the lights everywhere, the red carpet, I was

cracking up.

We had Tanetta serving sushi.

Only Teresa.

Only Teresa. I just wanted family and close friends over. I didn't even have

time to cook, so I called, and I had Reno deliver all the food to me.

How's your cook?

Not good.

Not good?

Ew!

No.

Whatever. So we weren't invited?

What?

I was kind of disappointed.

Somebody's got to make a move.

Maybe you have a chance of getting things back the way they used to be.

Listen, old Teresa? I love old Teresa. Okay. That person is still inside that

body. Nobody knows Jacqueline better than me. And I know she wants a

relationship with Teresa. They always used to call each other Lucy and Ethel.

Looks like two balls and a little pee -pee.

There's nuts in the balls.

I've seen Jacqueline go through an emotional roller coaster with Teresa,

they have a very strong bond, whether they both want to believe it or not.

It just feels like a different era.

We both said so many things about each other that were bad.

It's hard, I guess, to...

And I don't get past that.

Hi, pretty.

Happy New Year.

You look so pretty.

Mom, seriously, you want my underwear to show? I think you want my underwear to

show. I was lowering it a little bit.

Somebody else is here. We're getting here. Great, and I'm going to leave, and

then I'm going to get so much crap for it. So they come down.

Gia was excited to spend New Year's Eve with her friends, but I do feel bad for

Joe. Like, I'm torn between the two of them. It's like, believe me, I want Gia

home, but I saw that it meant a lot to her.

What's up, honey? Are you going?

Yeah. How are you?

What's up,

brother?

Listen, I got you a special bottle.

I just built the house. Times are tough, bro.

All right.

Quit trying to relate, Richie.

I see Santino's eating well.

Santino! Hey, Rosie, I had a drink ready for you. You got it all primed up for

me. How about me?

Ah, f*** you.

So why aren't you at Trisha's?

We were wondering the same thing. Well, you weren't invited.

We weren't invited either, and you know what?

I'm a little surprised. But you're good with Joe.

With Joe? Maybe I'm not good with my cousin. I don't know.

When Teresa was away, Joe and I, we'd text. We'd, like, crack up laughing.

Bourbon's better, bro.

I mean, uh, roses. I know.

I'm calling you bro. That's all right.

Bro, do you think your relationship with Joe is better with Teresa not being

around?

Yeah, it's true. I haven't texted him in the last, like, week since Teresa came

home. Joe doesn't, like, call me or whatever.

We don't have that kind of fun anymore.

Does it bother you, though?

Yeah, it bothers me. It makes me feel, like, sad.

Are you feeling bad that you're with us and not there?

Are you f***ing crazy?

Are you saying you don't want to be here? Well, Rosie, get the f*** out of

Oh,

oh, oh, guys. Whoa, hey, ho.

What's your curfew tonight?

Well, she said I could stay there, like, Happy New Year or whatever.

I'm going to toast with you guys. Happy New Year. I'm happy everyone's here.

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Oh,

hi. How are you?

You look fabulous.

Hi. How are you doing? Hi, babe. How are you doing? Your hair looks nice.

Oh, my God. It's 848.

I have to go.

Oh, okay. Why?

Because everyone's running like this.

I wanted to take a picture with your skirt on.

Well, goodbye.

Can you just take a look? No, I'm not.

If you see what time it is, I'm so late.

Hey, Major. Hey, Trey. What?

I'll tell you right now. She's not home before New Year.

There's going to be a problem. Joe, you told her she could go. It's New Year's.

She stays with her family.

Well, you need to tell her then. No, you tell her, all right? If you weren't

here, she'd be staying home.

She wouldn't be going nowhere.

I got to go get an aspirin. I got a headache now.

Tia, Daddy's saying now you have to be home before New Year's. No, I'm not.

Yeah. All right, goodbye.

Oh my god, I can't with all this.

Having a teenager is tough, but she has been through a lot this year.

You gotta wear a trench coat when you go out. I used to do that with my father,

right? I want to make her happy, because I do feel a little guilty, because I

haven't been here for the past 11 and a half months.

Tia, you better be home by 12.

There's going to be a problem. Hey, Tia.

Tia.

Tia, can you just stay up?

No, you're only young once.

She's 14.

I mean, she's got a lot of balls, let me tell you.

Coming up next, Teresa.

Hello. Jacqueline.

Happy New Year. This was weird, I'm not going to lie.

Did you ever let your kids go out on New Year's Eve? My daughter did when she

was Gia's age. I didn't think that she was actually going to go. I'm not going

to get involved. It's a family thing. But she's so good.

Who cares?

Every Italian girl had to deal with her father being stressed.

I had to be home at 11 o 'clock and I was getting married.

Did she sing over? Is she coming home? No, she's coming home.

But in Teresa's heart, she thought Joe upset Gia before she left.

And that bothered her.

Teresa's Achilles heel is not the IRS.

It isn't prison.

It's her children.

She can't stand to see them upset for one second.

Whatever. My hubby. Does it look like a wild party? No, it wasn't bad.

Melania. Teresa.

What? Oh, my God. Is she over there?

Maybe she's sleeping.

She likes to sleep there. I don't blame her. I'm like, I gotta go. I gotta go by

Jacqueline. You're going to Jacqueline's? Yeah, yeah. It's like

Maybe I'll call her and say Happy New Year. Really?

Really? You never know. Maybe we can rekindle our friendship. New year, new

beginning. If you feel this way, go for it, baby. Go. Wait, hold on. Let me see

if she's still in here. Yeah, she is.

Teresa.

Oh, that's nice.

Hello?

Jacqueline?

Yes? Hi. Hi, it's Teresa.

Hi.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

Dolores is here. She's on her way to your house. So I just figured let me

you and say Happy New Year. You know, I know our paths are going to cross soon.

So it's a new year, new beginnings.

All right, good. New year, new beginning. I like that.

I bet you're very happy to be home with your kids.

Of course I'm happy.

I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

Happy New Year.

Who is that?

Hi,

Trey. Hi, Trey.

Yeah.

Do you want me to take it off speaker? I will.

Take it off speaker.

I have family over and friends. I have 36 people here.

Wow. Jacqueline, tell her you have her family here, too.

It took me a little off guard because it sounded like I didn't call Jacqueline.

It felt like I called my cousins instead.

My family was here.

No, I mean, I know who my family is.

I'm going to let you go because, you know, I know you have company. I have

company. You know, have a happy new year.

Bye. Bye.

This is weird.

I'm not going to lie.

I just thought I'd feel different when I heard from her.

Her like, hey, I'm having a party with 35 of my closest friends and family, but

you weren't invited and you were with the rest of my family.

I didn't get the sense of like a connection with her at all. She's taking

out of New Year's Eve to call me, but then she acts cold and distant.

I don't know how to respond to her.

I'm happy that she's reaching out to you and everything, but I still don't

understand what I did.

To her. You don't want to say hello? Don't say hello.

What are we in high school?

What does she hate me for? Because I'm breathing? What the f***?

F*** you too.

Alright, that's it. I don't care.

2016, I don't give a f*** about nobody but myself.

No, you know what?

Our new year resolution, I'm going to be a bigger prick. She's going to be a

bigger, what are you called?

Bitch. Bitch.

I'm going to be the biggest bitch

on wheels.

And I'm going to stop being a nice guy. No more tequila. No, I'm pissed off.

I guess I'll pour the champagne.

No, I don't want a selfie.

I'm not really into the selfie thing.

Come here, I got to tell you something.

The Lord was leaving, and she was going to...

Jacqueline. Right.

So, you know what? I called her and wished her a happy new year. You did?

Nice. And how did she respond?

She seemed a little cold.

I was probably a little shocked, too. Like, I was not expecting him. Yeah, I

mean, I guess. See, you're like, you're nice.

I've always been nice.

We got 50 minutes.

What, for New Year's? For Happy New Year. Come on.

Here's the door.

Right.

Can I ask you something?

Yes, yes, yes.

So she calls me New Year's Eve in the middle of her party.

Yeah, just like that.

She's so bizarre. I can't read her. She said, you know, maybe we can rekindle a

friendship. I'm not feeling that.

The real issue between Teresa and Jacqueline is very simple.

Teresa, being raised Italian, you didn't talk about your feelings.

where Jacqueline will tell you everything that's going on in her life.

from two totally different worlds.

They don't understand each other. Me as a friend to both of you, I was happy.

It warmed my heart that you guys had that connection.

It didn't really feel like much of a connection. It didn't feel like much. It

was sort of weird. It was weird.

She was very disappointing.

Coming up.

Well, now you got to do the right thing while I'm out here.

2015 has been a very interesting year. Not for me.

I firmly believe if you surround yourself with good people, you're going

a beautiful life.

Absolutely.

All right, ready, ready, guys, ready?

Ten. Nine.

Did you get my text?

Yeah. I've been on your text all night.

Happy New Year, Gia.

Happy New Year.

Did you see Daddy?

Aw.

So happy to see you, Gia.

Happy New Year.

How are you feeling? Good?

See, she's home, safe and sound.

I love you.

Yeah, I know you love me, Gia.

She loves me so much now.

You just say happy birthday to Nonna.

Say happy birthday to everybody else.

You crying?

Happy New Year. Love you.

This year.

It's going to be another tough year for us.

But we're strong, and we have each other, and, you know, we're going to get

through it.

You know how I pushed you through the right thing and why your mom wasn't

Well, now you got to do the right thing while I'm not here.

All right? Then it'll be over, and I'll be home, and it'll be all back to normal

again. And next New Year's Eve, you're being with me. You are.

Next time on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Every time you guys see Melissa, just hand her a drink. I'm wearing red shoes.

I become Melissa Mother Gorgia.

Terrible, terrible.

Why are you blotchy? Where'd you just come from? What's going on?

I just came from Teresa's house.

Oh, hi.

Where do you want to go from here? I said new beginnings. That means building

friendship. Well, I like to hear that. Yeah, definitely, definitely.

You guys too.

Hello. Well, but she's my family. I have no choice.
