By Potes | Season 4 | Episode 13 | Aired on 07.22.2012
Chris asks Joe how he's going to be with Juicy, and Joe says he's learned to ignore him because he's obviously such a dickwad. Juicy and Teresa have hurt Joe a lot by talking a whole bunch of shit about him, but he's learning to cope with it. Chris predicts that if Joe and Teresa's relationship gets better, his relationship with Juicy will get better. Joe isn't so sure, and says that you can't just snap your fingers and make everything go away. Chris sees his point, saying that he has some issues with Juicy and his shit-talking too. He interviews that his financial issues are none of Juicy's business, and he shouldn't be talking about them all around town. Chris is upset, but also is a rather cool character so stays calm even with the extra provocation.
We see Jacqueline doing laundry and thinking about Teresa. She says that she's basically going to follow Teresa's lead in terms of repairing their friendship or not. Teresa is doing laundry too. Audriana hugs a dollar bill and calls it "mama." How sweet. Teresa feels like things are getting better with Jacqueline, but that's not the focus of this Napa trip. Rather, she's focusing on making things better with her brother and Melissa. As she instructs Audriana to put her money in her bubbies, we head to a commercial break.
Back at the men's caucus, Juicy finally shows up with an armful of wine. The men soon start talking about the trip, and Juicy says some not great things about Jacqueline bringing up a lot of junk, which Chris does not appreciate. He tells us that Joe Giudice thinks he's perfect at everything, which makes him even more of an asshole than he might be otherwise. I mean, don't get me wrong, he would still be a really big asshole. In the end, Chris says that there are a lot of problems amongst the ladies, and the men will likely end up standing by their respective wives.
Meanwhile, Kathy makes dessert and talks about how happy she was that Teresa came to her dessert sampling. Who knows, says optimistic Kathy. Napa could be a great trip. Caroline does not agree. She thinks the whole thing is going to be terrible and the trip is already ruined and she might not emerge from her RV the whole time. I would be okay with that, actually. Melissa is on the optimistic side of things as well, saying that Joe Gorga is happy as long as she and Teresa are getting along. So she's not worried that there's going to be any tension amongst the men. We then cut back to the men. Chris starts talking about the changes to the RV situation, and Juicy can barely stop texting long enough to comprehend.
