RHONJ, Season 11, Episode 7–Old Feuds Never Die

We start right back at Dolores’ house with the fight over the Evan rumors. Jen Aydin has dropped the bomb that Joe B. said he heard the rumors, Marge is mad, Jackie has used the word “jail” to Teresa, Melissa is fired up, and Frank just wants to eat. This poor guy never gets to finish a meal with these people.

Teresa storms away from the table and is pissed that the Gorgas would even let Jackie stay at their shore house. She is demanding loyalty.

Melissa is over it. She has been called a stripper and a whore, and she is not about to give loyalty where she doesn’t get it. Joe Gorga goes after Teresa, and she tells him to go fuck himself. I really do love Jersey. There’s nothing else like it.

Joe says Teresa never sticks up for him, especially against Joe Giudice, but that Teresa expects him to kick Jackie out for the jail comment. They all decide they are going to leave and start cleaning up, and Jackie whispers to Marge, “Your husband’s an asshole.”

Marge agrees and flips on Joe B. Jackie is whining and crying. She wants nothing to do with Joe B., and now Marge is yelling at her. Jackie wants to know why everyone is yelling, which is a fair question considering everyone is, in fact, yelling.

Frank finally admits that Joe B. said he heard the rumor, but that all the guys said they don’t believe it. Jackie wants to go home. She should. She is hysterical and messy.

Marge and Jackie make up and blame Teresa for the whole thing. And cue Teresa coming back.

She goes to Joe and asks why he doesn’t stick up for her against Jackie. Joe Gorga tells Teresa she is wrong, and Melissa wants Teresa to talk to Jackie. Teresa refuses and says no one had her back with the jail comment.

Suddenly, Melissa is throwing cheese and saying Teresa has never stuck up for the Gorgas, particularly against Joe Giudice. Joe Gorga takes it all in, his face getting redder and redder.

He is taking it all in and processing, and then finally yells, “I am mad at the son of a bitch! He put you in jail! He put my mother in the fucking grave!” and slams his fists on the table.

It’s bad. It’s raw, and it’s real. This is what he believes. Everyone looks stunned that it has finally been said.

Teresa looks like she is going to throw up.

There is cheese everywhere. 

Melissa tries to calm Joe down. He wants to forget about Jackie and focus on Joe Giudice. Dolores comes out and tries to restore order, reminding Joe Gorga that his parents would want he and his sister together.

Joe Gorga tells us that he can’t stand what Joe Giudice did to the family. Teresa says Joe Giudice isn’t in her life anymore, Joe Gorga hugs her, and all is well.

I don’t know how they do it. I would have jumped in the ocean by now.

Jackie just keeps crying, and it is clear she is not cut out for this shit. Joe Gorga needs to ice his hand from slamming his fists. I wonder how often that happens?

Jackie calls Evan and cries some more. Everyone finally goes to bed.

The next morning, everyone rehashes the night. Dolores is worried because Evan arrives today, and he is angry at Teresa, especially after hearing Jackie so upset.

At the Gorgas, they have breakfast, and Joe says he called Teresa that morning and they made peace. Again. Teresa has also agreed to behave herself for the rest of the trip.

Everyone wants Teresa to apologize to Evan, but Teresa feels weird about talking to a man. Dolores wants her to just end it.

Bill Aydin arrives and gets a debrief on the night before. Their bagels look amazing. I want a Jersey Shore bagel. They hit different.

Everyone meets up at the Gorgas’ for the afternoon. Teresa apologizes to Jackie, and they agree to drop things, at least for the day. The drinks are flowing at Missy G.’s bar, thank you, Jeezus.

Evan arrives after a lot of build-up, and everything is cool. He greets everyone, including Teresa. Teresa apologizes, and they move on.

They all hit the jet skis, and it looks like good, clean, drunken fun. I would break my face.

At lunch, Jennifer brings up Marge being so mad at Joe B. the night before. Marge blames Jen for bringing the matter up at all. The guys get up and walk away for a shot. They see the drama coming and are just grateful they got to eat for a change.

Jen says the way Marge treated Joe B. was embarrassing. Marge is offended and tells Jen to mind her business and worry about her own sloppy, drunken behavior.

Jen says Marge is also sloppy for sleeping with her boss when she was in her twenties.

Marge is super offended and tells Jen that Bill is her meal ticket for her whole family. Evan says meals bring out the worst in the women, and he is right. They need structured activities.

They go right from lunch to getting ready for dinner, and I am exhausted trying to keep up. What happened to lying in the sun and taking a nap?

Marge is fuming about Jen. Jen is fuming about Marge, and I am just waiting to see what happens at this dinner.
