Next Andy asks Caroline a viewer question about why she agreed to go on the Napa trip if she refused to have a good time. Caroline says that she didn't refuse to have a good time, but upon prompting notes that she still did not have a good time. Oh, and then we get a montage of the Caroline/Teresa feud, which started with words about being as Italian as the Olive Garden, and ended with Teresa leaving Napa a day early. Andy asks why Caroline wouldn't accept the apologies that Teresa offered throughout the season, and Caroline says that they were not sincere. In Napa, Teresa called her a see-you-next-Tuesday and a bitch and laughed at her. Teresa fact checks this accusation, and upon hearing that it's true basically argues that Caroline was indeed being a see-you-next-Tuesday. I feel like that's fair logic, actually.
Andy reads a viewer question asking if Jacqueline was really sleeping during the epic fight in Napa. I mean, of course not. She was, however, sick of dealing with all the bullshit. Oooh, and then a viewer asks if Teresa regrets the way she treated Danielle Staub, given the big karmic whomping she got in the form of Caroline's bullying. Teresa says that she does regret this, and then Caroline asks her to name one instance in which she was a bully. Teresa says that Caroline was a bully the whole season, but Caroline wants a specific example. At that point there is much yelling, and then Xanax Jacqueline laughs that Teresa is such a fucking moron that she can't take it. And then there is a long interlude in which Caroline basically bullies Teresa into trying to name a specific example of a time when she bullied Teresa. Teresa is, indeed, too much of a moron to say, "Right now." Melissa Gorga looks weary, mostly because the attention is not at all on her.
Things get still when Andy asks Teresa why she thinks Caroline won't accept her apology, and then Caroline says she wants to clear some things up. When the Giudice bankruptcy first happened, says Caroline, they were there for Teresa. Teresa does not argue with this. Then when Kathy and Melissa came into the picture, Caroline says, she was horrible to them, out of loyalty to Teresa. Eventually, she apologized to them, which I think I remember from some time ago. Or maybe Caroline talked about it on the last reunion? Teresa admits that she was hurt when Kathy and Melissa came on the show, and Caroline says that she felt for Teresa until she met them. In turn, she asks Teresa how she thinks it felt for Caroline to watch her with Dina at the Fabellini party. It was a knife in Caroline's heart, and Caroline asks why it's okay for Teresa to bring Dina on the show to talk shit about her but not for the producers to bring Teresa's relatives on the show to talk shit about her. Teresa argues that she and Dina are friends, and Dina was just supporting her at her fake party. This gives Andy an opening to ask what Caroline's relationship with Dina is now, and Caroline says that they're not speaking. Oh how I wish Dina would come back for good. I think Grandma Wrinkles should be moderating this reunion as well.
