Previously on the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Melania! Mom, mommy.

When you, like, came home, you don't discipline it that much because, like, I

feel like you're, like, scared we're going to hate you.

You're too nice to them because you never want them to be mad at you. You

have to put your foot down with them a little bit.

Your ex -husband and your boyfriend all live in the same house together, so?

That's none of your business!

How about that?

Sticky, or better known as Soggy Flicker with all the crying. You're one of the

ugliest human beings in the world for making fun of me!

Look loyalty up in the dictionary, and you'll find my face.

The only life I envy is my own.

I bring the power, the pigtails, and the party.

My motto is, know your worth.

Leave the rest to your plastic surgeon.

If you're not about the namaste, get the hell out of my way.

All right, Bob, we're going to pack, okay?

Do you want this one?

Yeah, yeah. Yes, I think this is good. Putting it nice so we don't have to

Hello. Hi.

How are you? Good.

I'm Vicky Flick. I have an appointment.

Okay. We'll be right with you, Kevin. Okay. Thank you.

Which

one

do you want? The long one.

This one? This one's nice.

Okay. Melanie, what... This bed is really hard.

Come over here.

Are you guys excited for Puerto Rico?

Uh -huh. Yeah?

When we're there, we're going to email Daddy and tell him what we're doing.

Taking this trip is really important for my daughters because they've been

through a lot.

Me leaving, then my husband leaving, and then now losing their grandma.

So, Melania, we're going to do snorkeling. We're going to go to the

And I want to bring my dad with me. There's no way I would leave him home

He is my rock right now.

Look at Nono's bathing suits.

Want Nono to wear this?

Oh, my God.

But you're not wearing Speedos. No. Look at that.

The Italian bathing suit.

He go Italy everywhere there.

No, Mom. He's not wearing it. What?

The doctor's ready for you. You can come with us. Thank you. Thank you.

Even though I hate Margaret for making fun of me for being overly emotional.

Okay, well, oh no.

I have to admit my emotions have been over the top and I do have to find a way

of controlling them.

I'm not going to have hot flashes anymore.

I'm going to have a better sex drive.

I'm not going to be soggy flicker.

Soggy? You're not soggy. There's nothing about you.

That's soggy.

Hello. Hello, doctors.

How are you?

How are you?

This is my best friend, Dolores. I'm very excited about this.

I'm not getting it done. She is, but I want it to.

Dr. DeSilva told me about this procedure that I believe you invented.

Well, I didn't invent the procedure, but actually the technique and how we do it

and the dosing is mine, yes.

We are a unit that works together.

Just don't start yelling at us because you're starting to chase your husband

around the block.

Oh, Michael Campanella is going to be so happy. That's the only thing that I

worry about. But seriously, when we looked at your blood work, your numbers

absolutely in the ground. You don't have estrogen.

You don't have progesterone. You don't have testosterone.

These are the hormones that people need. We're just restoring your hormones to

an optimal level where you were when you were younger.

Because when your testosterone level is low, certainly you're going to have

these mood swings. When we get rid of that, you're going to sleep better. I

can't believe it. We'll be back in just a bit, all right? Thank you so much.

See, if you would just take your jacket off, jump on the table here, and we'll

be right back.

Your hormone levels control your emotional state.

Libido protects your heart, your bones, everything.

I gotta step up and I've gotta do this pellet therapy.

I can't believe it, Dolores. I'm afraid I don't want to lose the thing I have.

Dolores, don't change too much.

I like my soggy flicker.

Oh, God.

Margaret needs to shut up, because I'll throw the chair through the wall in a

minute.

If I gotta deal with these girls, I better get a pellet. Dolores, when

and I were at the diner, we agreed to be civil.

But you know what?

Walking into the party the other day.

By the way, I'm antagonized because now I have to explain you and Frank's

relationship. Wait, that whole thing is like, why is he living there? I don't

understand. Why couldn't you ask that question?

Teresa visits her husband in jail.

Danielle's been engaged 22 times. And they're telling me my relationship's

weird. Thank you. Now I know it's good.

I've always been respectful of Teresa's privacy and her relationship with Joe.

Frank has treated me with more respect than Joe Giudice has ever treated Teresa

on a good day.

He's been accused of cheating a million times. And now Teresa's even saying he's

the reason she went to prison and lost a year with her mom. People in glass

houses should not throw stones.

You know what? Teresa just lost her mother.

She's exhausted from working.

I don't care. She's taking care of four girls on her own. Now she's going to

attack my family life? I don't care.

Listen, her judgment is very clouded.

All right.

Pellet time.

You ready?

I'm ready. Are you ready now?

Here we go.

I'm just going to pull these down a little bit. You're going to feel some

alcohol.

Dolores, give me your hand. Okay. Just a little stick.

There we go.

Does that hurt?

Can you see the pellets? Not yet. How long does it take to work once you do

this? So the estrogen will be there in about three days in terms of your hot

flashes. The testosterone will be there in about seven to ten days. That's what

you need the most, actually. Wow.

See how easy that is? You're done.

I'm done?

Doc, that was amazing.

Oh, my God, Doc. Thank you so much. You're welcome. You have a great day.

right, Doc. Thank you. Call us if you need anything.

And now we can tell the girls that the only thing now that's up my ass are the

pellets. And me. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Come on.

Gosh, I love you.

Hey, Mark Senior. What's going on?

You're wearing the matching pigtails.

Well, I figured I'd attempt it.

Fixed all my look. And my earrings.

They are yours.

Typical. What's going on?

Well, I was just driving about on my little beep beep, so I thought I'd stop

and see what you were up to. I don't know what's going on. I was just hanging

out. Are you all right, Marcy? Yeah, I'm okay. Sit on the swing. I don't want

you to break anything.

Did you see? This is the yin and yang symbol here. I know. I think it's great.

But, you know, I'm not into the Asian gardens. I hope you're not going to get

rid of it because I really like this. I know.

Listen to my story.

Saturday night at the Gorga tasting, I hear her at the other table.

Siggy's talking about me nonstop. I go, what are you talking about?

I can't get over it. You know what you did to me?

All you care about is your brand.

And who's going to buy that China stuff?

For someone whose mantra in life is empowering women, All she was trying to

was cut me down.

She stormed out of that party in a huff. I came in. She left the party?

After she, like, stuck her tongue out at me, insulted me.

Wrong woman.

Saying, she has a heart of gold, I have no heart.

Obviously, she doesn't know you. I'm like, you know what? I tried to make up

with this woman twice already.

I'm very sorry that I hurt you. And that is a true apology. I'm a fucking wise

ass, but I would never want to hurt your feelings.

Her friend Dolores, who has been sticking by her, said some horrible

my friend Danielle.

Like they had a vicious fight.

Why? Because Danielle was judging Dolores' relationship with her ex

Frank.

You know, I felt bad for Dolores because, listen, I have unconventional

relationships. I'm so close with Jan.

It's not as strong. What is it? I know. It's Nespresso. I think I should get you

a Nespresso machine for Father's Day. I have no use for it.

My first husband, Jan, and I get along fabulously.

We get along great. He is a great father. He's very supportive of me.

He thinks I am a little nuts, though.

But I didn't want Dolores to think that I would ever judge her relationship

because that's her life. Who cares about that? You know, that's off limits.

I personally think you should just call her and talk to her.

Truthfully, I don't think Dolores and I have our own problem.

I think he doesn't let the girl get a word in edgewise.

You know what? I will call her.

Hello?

Dolores, it's Margaret.

Hello?

Hello, Margaret. How are you today?

Good, good. I was just checking in because, I mean, everybody left in a

other night. And I just want to say I felt badly.

I mean, would you be open to getting together? Because I feel like it just

south.

Listen, since you are so close with Teresa and Melissa now, we all have to

some degree of stability.

No, I absolutely agree.

Are you available tomorrow?

Okay, that's fine. Okay, okay. Then I can text you a place.

Okay, thank you. Thanks, Dolores. Thanks. Bye.

All right. Well, I hate to tell you, Siggy might get upset at, you know, talk

Dolores.

I mean, we lived around the corner from each other.

I just want to try and blow up my house.

I hope that doesn't happen.

Coming up, I want you to tell me why you were upset. Well, that's easy.

You said I was an ass kisser.

Are you girls excited?

I can't wait to see you going down the slide.

Let me get Nono set up. Yeah, you cannot be in the sun.

Sia, you need all sunscreen on top. Can I spray you? No, I don't want you to do

anything.

Ow. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Stop. You're just annoying me. I'm sorry.

You got...

Sunscreen on top over here, right? Let me spray some of this.

I've been in Puerto Rico two days, and I think my daughters are already starting

to get sick of me.

Okay, all right, you're good.

Can we just have fun and relax and enjoy the pool and wear your sunscreen?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh,

Danielle's calling.

Hi, how are you?

I'm good. How's Puerto Rico?

This island is incredible.

Not so great for my dad.

He's so sunburned. Oh, my God. He's so sunburned.

He's passed out right now. I can tell he's sleeping.

I will.

Oh,

yeah. Did you have fun at the tasting the other night?

I know. What the hell? I can't believe.

Like, she's coming at me, too, a little bit.

He did nothing to you. If you want to ask me a question, I'm going to answer

I'm going to answer it. Let me answer it and be quiet.

You know, maybe she's coming at me because I'm friends with you. I mean,

trying to figure this out because we've been friends like 25 years.

It's a little ironic that Dolores keeps talking about Danielle being a starter.

Meanwhile, who's getting everyone's faces lately?

My pieces are starting to wear down.

I don't know what her problem is.

To be a friend, it takes work.

Danielle's definitely putting the work in.

She's always checking up on me, making sure I'm okay.

Dolores, not so much.

Definitely when I get back, I want to speak to her and get it out on the

But you know what? I just want to go enjoy my time now with my kids.

Have fun. Say hello to everybody.

I will.

Okay. All right. Okay, bye.

Dino! Joey!

Pour some more wine, baby.

Beating the meat.

Tonya, will you get off your phone a little bit?

You set the table. I mean, that's all you do. You sit on the phone.

No. You're going to have neck problems.

You know that, right?

Gina and Joey!

Okay! Come here!

Tonya, did you do all your homework?

Yes. What, you got an attitude?

No. All right. I'm just checking.

Joey, how are you doing in school, honey? It's boring. It wastes my time to

home. But I know you have a lot of girlfriends, so is that...

I actually do. You do?

How many exactly?

Three. Three?

No!

Mom,

can I sleep over with my friends? Do.

Can you what? Did I ask you?

Mommy. Watch yourself.

I told you. After 12, no more sleeping out.

Why not?

Look at you. You're beautiful.

You're gorgeous. I want you under my roof. She wants to hang out with her

boyfriend. No.

Boyfriend? I'm over here.

You are not allowed to have a boyfriend.

I laid that law down, right? Yes.

Why, do you want to have a boyfriend?

No. Why, do your friends have boyfriends? No.

Like, do people talk about that? No. All right, now I'm leaving.

Goodbye.

You know you're, like, a little messed up, right?

What? I have to be strict.

There's rules in life.

I'm not talking about that. All right. Okay.

Let's be free.

Let her out. No, no, no. I'm not saying let her out. You want a boyfriend? Go

ahead. I don't say that. Hold on. Here's birth control, honey. Ew. I didn't say

any of that. But I'm saying that's what happens. We do it my way in my house.

No.

It's kind of crazy that Joe and Teresa were both raised in the same house.

Because Joe is, like, super strict.

Teresa's a pleaser. So their parenting style is...

Completely different.

Antonia, come and eat. Jesus tried to trust Adam and Eve, and look what

happened.

You are so twisted.

Hello,

Dolores, my love. Hi, my sick elite. How are you?

I'm doing fine. I'm with my Sophie.

Hi, Sophie. We're shopping at the Short Hills Mall.

She doesn't understand. I'm not getting her any shorts that have her ass taken

out. It's not happening. I agree with you on that.

But if I was Sophie, I'd have an extra pair of shorts in my backpack.

Anyway, I want to tell you that Margaret called me.

Okay. And she feels that she wants to speak to me.

Regarding, you know, that we got off on the wrong foot. And we did. And we're

still on the wrong foot.

So, Lord, this is the first for this.

I'm so happy not with you.

Okay? Thank you, Siggy. Okay. Bye, sweetheart.

Bye, baby.

You talked about me. You talked about my relationship.

And guess what? I'm coming for you.

But I'm not going to let my temper get the best of me like I did with Danielle.

Like my dad always said.

I'm going to smile, Dolores.

They'll never see it coming.

Hi, Margaret.

You've got the skinnies.

How are you? Good, how are you? You look beautiful.

I think it's just the dress, to tell you the truth, because it doesn't say it on

the scale.

Just having a little iced tea.

Can I have a seltzer with a splash of cranberry? Sure.

You and I both don't drink.

I know, so that's good.

And we're both, you and I are always lucid.

To some extent.

When a lot of things are going on around me, though, I do tune it out. I've been

around this crowd a long time.

Can I take your order?

I'm going to have the Italian seafood with no onions, no garlic. I'm the only

Italian that cannot eat garlic.

I think I was doing the crab cake and the tricolor salad.

Thank you so much.

Listen, I'm happy we met because I want you to tell me why you were upset.

I respect your opinion. Oh, well, that's easy.

It was about what you did in Florida.

At the table.

The table when I called her soggy?

Okay, but Dolores, that is a kind of funny statement.

To me, it's a funny... Well,

it was poor timing, poor taste.

No, I did... You know why? Because I was upset. And you said I was an ass

kisser.

Salad? Thank you.

If I can just give you a bit of advice.

If I was introduced to a crowd like you...

When things are heated, it's probably not the time to make a joke. But by the

way, when you make light of something, it usually diffuses the situation.

Margaret, I don't believe you were just making light of it. I think you were

mocking her.

You have to say her behavior is not that rational. I disagree.

You really disagree?

I disagree.

Yeah, Ziggy's emotional.

She's a very passionate person as it is. That's why she went to get hormone

therapy to kind of balance herself.

She's animated. I know a lot of people that are animated.

But Margaret's not going to hear that from me.

No, but Saturday night at the pizzeria. You don't think she acted over the top?

No. I leave a diner thinking we're made up.

And then we go to that party.

She attacked me for no reason. Like, she became unhinged.

That's how I feel.

We're still talking about this? I'm not over it. You know what? This is boring.

This is boring.

I see no fault. Really? No. I just don't understand how she can't even admit the

slightest little fault in her behavior. I see no fault in her behavior at all.

All I see is good. I mean, she's drinking the Kool -Aid, so I'm getting a

nervous that this dinner might not go as planned. I'm shocked.

Coming up.

Listen, I want to always talk about Nana. Yeah, I miss her very much. I know

it is missing your mother. You are gone.

I see no fault in her behavior at all. I'm shocked. All I see is good.

I'm shocked that you cannot see any fault in her.

If I have an opinion about Siggy's behavior, I'll share it with Siggy and

Siggy. That's what loyalty is.

I see no fault in the way Siggy acted at the pizzeria.

Absolutely not.

You don't even know what set it off.

Apparently, when Siggy walked into the pizzeria, Melissa, Danielle, Teresa, and

you started questioning my relationship, and she felt it was a personal attack.

I understand, but I did not question your relationship. I actually defended

Why is he living there? Why couldn't he just get his own plate?

If it works for her, that's her life. Who cares about that?

I find it offensive that she's saying I didn't defend your relationship because

I don't have a conventional relationship whatsoever.

No, I know. I'm very close with my ex -husband.

You guys have a great thing.

To be honest, I think it's something to be emulated and it's impressive.

Yeah, thank you. I agree.

It takes a lot to get a relationship to where I got it.

especially the circumstances.

Frankie was an infant, and Gabrielle was three. All I wanted for my kids was the

close family that I had, and that meant having Frank come over every night for

dinner, walk in, pat me on the head, walk out, and go and be with his

as he was walking out the door, and I knew it.

And then nobody was asking Dolores to come over their house and hang out with

them and their husbands. It was like, hi, we're all the couples that are going

out in Franklin Lakes this week. Can you watch our kids?

Really? Yeah.

For many, many years, it was just my kids and me and whatever time Frank had

us.

I'm starting to get a better understanding of Dolores and Siggy's

Dolores was isolated for so many years that to have a friend that's so devoted

to you like Siggy, I can completely understand why Dolores defends her.

I don't know if you know this about me, I was with my ex -husband since I was

24.

I was madly in love with him. I could still say getting married to him was one

of the top five best days of my life.

He was a great father.

And he had custody of his children? He had custody of his three children.

Eight, 14, and 16.

That's a big nut on a 24 -year -old girl.

But they needed someone to love them, and I was completely obsessed with them.

Then we had my sons, and they were my entire life.

I'm going to start crying. Now I'm going to start crying. Now I'm going to be

soggy. Sog. Now I'll be soggy.

But then when everybody got older, they moved out, and, you know, my marriage

started falling apart.

It was very tumultuous. And, you know, I met Joe, and I fell in love with Joe.

He's lovely.

Thank you.

He's nice, sweet.

I realized, you know, I have to be happy too. And the worst fallout is my kids,

two of them, haven't spoken to me in six years.

And it's, you know, devastating.

I think of them all the time. I look at their pictures on Facebook.

It's a sad, rough go of it.

You know, it's funny. Everybody had a hard time that I know being a

It was never hard for me.

I loved it.

So not having them is just like, that's an ache, you know, never gets easier.

You know, when they say time heals all wounds, it doesn't.

There's always that piece missing.

I know.

To care that much and to be that emotional, you know, it comes from a

place. And I just, you know what, I want you to be comfortable around me when

we're together.

Separate from you and her. I just feel like there's a lot of layers that we

could connect on. And I think if she knew also, you know, I think we could

past a lot of things.

I agree with that.

I can't imagine the hurt that that must be to have kids that you raised not talk

to you.

And her feelings go a lot deeper than me and Ziggy gave her credit for.

Could you have the same conversation with Ziggy or no?

Absolutely. And when it's so heated, I'll try not to have, you know, say my

sarcastic comments.

people. Melania, I'm coming to see you.

Hi. Hi, Pookie.

Want to get something to eat?

I want a strawberry daiquiri.

Okay.

Hi, how are you?

Definitely feels strange to be on a family vacation without Joe.

He's missing all the little moments.

Don't worry, help me. Okay, thank you.

The girls need him, and Melania's having the hardest time. She misses her daddy

tremendously. I just got an email from dad.

Wait, oh, he said, thank you, daddy, made me cry.

Yeah. What made you cry?

Oh, mom.

I love you so much.

I'm trying my best, and I feel like she feels like sometimes I'm not there for

her, so I wanted to spend quality time with her.

Really, Melania, stop.

No, you do that with cake, not cheese.

So, are you having fun on vacation?

Mm -hmm. I think, no, no, I saw him, you know, he was crying this morning a

little bit.

But I think he's happy to be here with us, don't you think?

He's obviously going to cry. That was his wife.

Yeah, I miss her very much.

I know how it is missing your mother. You are gone, and I miss you.

I missed you, too, every day.

Yeah, I used to cry every day for you guys.

Of course she was upset.

I know she was suffering inside, and I hate that I had to leave my daughter

because of the situation my husband put me in.

Look at me here. I'm here.

Are you missing Daddy?

Obviously. Please.

I don't like to talk about this.

If there's anything bothering you, I want you to tell me.

Nothing's bothering me.

Growing up in my household, I was taught not to crack.

But I don't want my girls to be afraid to show their emotions.

So I want to be able to open up and help bring us closer together.

Listen, as soon as we get back, we're going to go see him, okay?

Okay, I want to go back in the pool now.

I love you. Give me a kiss.

Can I give a kiss on the lips?

No. Can we rub nosies?

No.

Coming up.

So who's your crush?

Is that what you call it?

Yeah. We used to call it... Oh, my God, stop.

You ready to shop?

Your favorite store?

Yeah. All right, go ahead, honey.

Hi, how are you?

I mean, if you need any help with anything. Okay, thank you. We're just

look around a little bit. You got it, honey.

That's cute, but you have something very similar.

I love these.

I don't like them.

Because I do. That's why you don't.

I think you should start wearing one pieces now. No.

I need to start covering you a little bit.

I don't go for one pieces.

That looks a little small for you, but that's cute.

Problem is, you, like, grew out of everything. You got, like, so big

don't know what's happening to you.

I'm getting older.

You are getting older, but... That's what's happening.

I know, but I want you to talk to me about it.

You might think somebody's cute or have, like, a crush.

Is that what you call it?

Yeah. They call it a crush?

We used to call it. Oh, my God, stop.

So who's your crush?

Don't ignore me.

If I ask you how was your day, good.

What happened today? Nothing.

What do I have to do to get you to talk to me?

I have one daughter.

It's you and me, kid. So I need her to feel like she can tell me anything.

Just tell me. I want to know so I can change whatever it is that's making you

not talk to me.

Strictness.

Huh? You guys are too strict.

I'm not too strict.

Daddy's strict.

So you don't tell me stuff because of him?

He's just scary.

Daddy is like a real typical, like old school Italian daddy. That's like my

daughter is going to have like bars on the windows and never be allowed out of

her house. I know that mommy's been dealing with daddy for a very long time.

So I gave Teresa a little bit of a hard time for being too lenient.

But I think there's probably a middle ground between Joe and Teresa, and I

we're all just trying to figure that out. I'm going to have to talk with

and tell him to calm down a little bit so that you talk to us more.

Yeah. I don't know how that's going to go over, but I'll try.

Girls,

you ready?

Yeah. You girls look so pretty.

Let me take this off for you. No, no, no. You're going to hurt me. Oh, okay.

I'm ready.

All right.

Make sure this is in your waist. Just stand up straight.

It doesn't matter, Mom.

Okay, we're doing this picture for Daddy.

It's really annoying.

Hi, Kimberly.

Hi. When I was away, Joe did a photo shoot with the girls for me, and that

so much to me. And I wanted to do the same thing for him.

Go, go, Dave, go.

After this picture, I'm leaving.

Relax. Stop, Mom.

But I doubt the girls gave him this much attitude.

Two more pictures.

Okay.

All right, Gia.

Mom, come on. Okay, all right.

Whoa, what am I doing?

Because you always have to touch yourself.

Relax.

I'm relaxed out of all your kids.

Okay. So you shouldn't be talking to me about being relaxed.

Ready? Can I get one with you, Gabriela? I don't want to, no.

But can you just try it? Stop arguing with me, please. Okay, all right.

Years ago, like, you know, they loved taking photos with me.

Smile with your eyes.

Wow, pretty.

Fabulous.

Attitudes.

I don't have photos when I was younger of how I looked or with my mom.

All right, let's take one, me and Adriana.

And especially now that my mom's gone, I want those photos.

Mom, can we take them? Okay, okay.

Stop talking.

All right.

And I want to do one like this because she's little.

Oh. Okay.

Quickly, look. No, Mom, I'm done.

All right.

Can we do just one with you girls, then one with me, and then we're done?

Mom, are you kidding?

Jesus. The girls are out of control.

Melissa, she was right.

Sometimes I'm too lenient because of everything that's going on. I mean, I'm

here by myself. I'm doing everything on my own.

Please don't touch me.

Don't move your hair because then it's... Oh, come on.

But I need to put my foot down.

Listen, it's memories. You guys are going to thank me one day. Mom, we get

We get it, Mom, for real.

She's so annoying.

You have any kids?

No, no kids.

Don't have four.

Coming up. You know, your mother says your daughter keeps a lot from us. She

doesn't tell us what goes on. Is that the case?

Wow, look at this place, huh?

We're going to have some fun.

Welcome to Urban Air South Hackensack. Yeah, for two.

Okay, fantastic.

There's court monitors out there. Thank you. Have fun. Have you done any of this

before? Yes. Show me what to do.

Melissa wants me to spend more time with Antonio.

Maybe tell her why you're so strict with her. Because she's terrified to tell us

anything because she's terrified of you.

She thinks Antonio's terrified of me. I think it's bullshit.

But if it gets my wife off my back for a day, I'm happy to jump around with my

kid.

Luckily, you got my talent. Oh, that's funny.

No.

You have to go like this.

Straight up and tuck.

Hold your knees.

That hurt my head.

What's the trick to it? The trick is you need skill, which you don't have. What?

When you were born, I gave you all my athletic ability.

I said, God, I said, give it to my daughter. You're just jealous that I'm

than you.

Yep.

Oh, my God. You're wrenched.

That was fun, right?

Just spending time with you. You know, when you were born.

Within seconds, I fell in love. I heard you had hives.

Yeah, I got so worried. I had hives on my body. That means is that your daddy

loves you more than anything in this world.

You know, your mother says that I'm strictly you.

She's like, your daughter keeps a lot from us. She doesn't tell us what goes

because of you.

Is that the case?

It is?

But you have to understand, I want to protect you.

And I only want what's best for you.

Because some of you are too strict.

In what way?

If I say I'm going to a party, you go with boys, go, yeah.

You go, oh, no, no, no, you're not going. Because you never tell us

Now, if you would talk a little bit, maybe I would say, okay.

Listen, you think Daddy's stupid?

I'm not stupid.

I know there's boys around.

I understand. I'm not dumb.

You just have to respect yourself.

You know that?

Yeah. Okay. More than anything, I don't want Antonio to feel pressured to do

anything that she doesn't want to do or get peer pressure to do.

But if all else fails, I reserve my right to lock her in the house, chain it

So I promise you from now on, I'm not going to be as strict.

I'm going to trust you with everything.

Okay. You got it?

Yeah. But you have to promise, you know, if there's a boy you think that's cute.

Oh, here we go. I'm just saying.

Listen, you're human.

Be honest.

Okay. All right? You know I love you more than anything as well. You know

right? So don't get mad at me because I love you.

Love you to the moon and back.

More than numbers can explain.

You just made my heart just... I just skipped 10 beats.

That was so cute.

Oh, this is so pretty here.

Hi, guys. How's everything?

Hi, baby. I love your shirt. Take it.

Hi, I'm not taking your stuff. She's always giving me her stuff, Michael.

What do you mean? Once I can't wear it anymore, take it.

Frank, how is living back at home?

I think it's great.

Do you ever, like, walk up the steps and then go into her room?

Oh, I was sleepwalking.

Have I even had any bad intentions?

I've got to get through to the four dogs that are on the bed, okay?

Can I get you guys to start with something to drink?

Yes. I'd like a mojito, no sugar.

Resingria. Red sangria also.

And I'm going to have the paella.

I'm going to order for you because I do. The seafood platter for two.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

How's the pellets, Michael?

I need to know.

Pellets are hurting right now. Are they really?

My tushy's a little bit sore, but I have to tell you something.

I feel energetic.

I feel, I don't want to say, I don't know.

I'm feeling more sexual.

Good.

Maybe it's just Michael got better looking.

I paid the pellet guy on the side. You got a little bit extra in there. Don't

worry.

Guys, toast. Yes, absolutely.

To friendship, loyalty, health, and happiness.

And hormones.

And hormones.

There you go.

Thank you. That's beautiful.

Everybody eat.

So anyway, I haven't gotten to tell you this, Frank, but I met with Margaret

last night because she reached out to me. She's like, listen, Flores, we've

gotten off to a rough start.

I'd really like to sit and talk with you. Now, this is on the heels of all

things she's been saying about me. I'm an ass kisser. I have no mind of my own.

What did she say?

She said, I thought Siggy and I made up at the diner. And then when she saw me

at the pizzeria, we got into it. I don't know where it came from.

I said, well, Siggy said when she walked in, she had to be on the defense

because everyone started questioning about my relationship.

Margaret's like, I wouldn't question your relationship because I don't have a

conventional relationship.

And she was getting very emotional because she raised her stepchildren and

don't talk to her now because she left their father.

So it's funny that she can get emotional because of a choice that she made.

But she doesn't like my crying, Frank and Michael.

She's like, what did I do to this girl? But I don't think she wants to start

with you.

Thank you. Do you think she's trying to make it right, or what do you think

she's trying to do? I think that I know her better now.

She was nice to talk to one -on -one. I told her my story with Frank, and I'm

not mad at her anymore.

I'm not.

There's no reason we can't all talk, be in the same room. It's never going to

happen.

Coming up.

I'm mad, too, right now.

I wish Joe would have been on top of everything a little bit better, because

feel like I lost that 11 and a half months with mommy.

There's no reason we can't all talk, be in the same room. It's never going to

happen.

I've never wanted to tell my friends who to be friends with, but I didn't take

it at the diner there was a kumbaya between me and Marge.

I took it as...

Therese and Melissa, they want to be friends with you, but I got to keep you

an arm's distance.

Am I wrong or right?

But you would have been surprised.

She was very compassionate towards me and very vulnerable, like crying from

gut, like her heart was broken over these kids.

The point is, why don't you cut her some slack?

I can understand how that can be very, very painful.

Hearing that Margaret was upset about her stepchildren shows me that there is

heart there. She goes, I really want to move on from everything.

And you know what?

She's around your friends, our friends.

That's how I feel about it. I can relate for the love that a mother has for a

child, whether it's your stepchild or your own child.

And I trust Dolores. If Dolores says it's worth giving another chance, I'm

to give it another chance.

Okay.

You make a lot of sense.

It is time to move on. I agree with you.

Let's toast to giving Margaret a second chance. Let's give Margaret a second

chance.

Listen, if Margaret was all out to dinner with couples, I think we would be

fine.

But you know what?

It's still funny.

Get a room with a clam, will you?

The tap restaurant is kicking in, babe.

That was nice, right? Did the pictures look nice?

The last time I took a picture on the beach was before Adriana.

You know

why

I don't want to say no? It's because they've been through a lot. I feel bad.

But then I don't want to fight with them.

No, no.

It was a different time when my dad was raising my brother and I. He would just

look at us and we would pee in our pants.

I don't know what to do because we were terrified of you.

I should be stricter with the girls.

But I am trying to find a balance.

I don't want them to be, like, afraid of me. I want them to be able to open up.

What did you do? What am I doing that... Oh, you got to take it off of the

gloves.

You see my eyes, you know.

When you ask something, you're supposed to do.

No, I know. It's hard for me now. It's like I got to do everything by myself.

These last few years, they had to grow up a lot.

I think they're mad.

They're probably saying to themselves, why did I have to lose my grandpa?

Then why did my mother have to leave? Then why did my father have to leave?

then why did I have to lose my grandmother?

I will forget.

Bye.

I know.

You miss so much. I know. I know. Me too.

I wish you was here with us.

Baby, watch out.

My dad, you know, he was always like that macho dad.

Now seeing him cry, I'm like... Makes it feel okay for me to open up to him and

cry with him, you know?

He's without his partner, I'm without my partner, and we both know we need to

lean on each other.

I didn't tell you this, but I'm mad too right now. I wish Joe would have been on

top of everything a little bit better, you know?

Because I feel like I lost that 11 and a half months when I could have been with

mommy.

It's like I hate that. It's like he better be a changed person, you know?

all right.

You got it, Mina.

I'm happy that you moved in with us.

Anytime you want advice, I'll give it to you.

And you know what? I think the girls need a man in the house.

Maybe you can help me discipline them.

Next time, I'll take off the belt.

Next time on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

I want to take the next step in my career. I'm going to do overnight

She invited me. Go and say three Hail Marys to our fathers. I'm the Virgin

Margaret.

Are you trying to say that he cheated on me?

I changed the family dynamic because I couldn't live like that. It doesn't get

easier. If somebody is hurting you, you have a right to say you.

I feel bad for that pastry chef that made that cake. It was so beautiful.

Do you believe?

This is not going to be good.
