That evening, Ronnie hatches an escape plan with Sitch, completely unaware that Sammi is sipping and snooping. She invites herself along, and Sitch's face falls. Because Sammi foiled Ronnie's plans for a guys' night out, the trip to the boardwalk becomes a household affair. Sammi, whose name should really be "Sour Grapes" instead of "Sweetheart," is dour as usual, snitting, "I don't want to be having fun with these people." Don't worry, honey, you've made that option all but impossible with your jacked-up attitude. As they head out of the house, Snooki pauses at a mirror, beholds herself in a glittery pink cowboy hat and mismatched pink and black polka dot socks, wondering aloud, "What the fuck am I wearing?" My thoughts exactly, Snickers.
And so the gang returns to the boardwalk, where the seeds of this moment's discontent were sowed less than two years ago. Sammi continues her campaign of misery by taking a pass on the rides and sneering at the guys and their horseplay. She shadows Ronnie desperately, denies his invitations to join group activities, then moans, "I feel so alone!" Ronnie eventually gets sick of her moping and tells her to "get the fuck over it already."
They head back home, where Sammi separates herself from everyone, worrying that she's in the same boat as she was in Miami. Ronnie tries to talk to her, but she gives him the silent treatment as she cries and thinks back on all the multifarious ways in which Ronnie has screwed her over in the past couple years. He insists he's in love with her, but she admits she doesn't trust him. She tells him to imagine himself in her place, saying she'd rather that he cut her off than cheat on her like he did. While he recognizes she has a valid point, he basically thinks it's tough titty and thinks she should get over it. He sees the conversation is not going his way and walks away. Sound familiar? She follows him inside where nothing is achieved other than a war zone-level of F-bombs and Sammi's continued degradation of self-esteem and realization that she has brought all this misery on herself.
Next week: Snooki suggests a threesome, which somehow lands Deena in bed with Sitch. Sammi finally apologizes to Snooki. And Snooki runs afoul of the law.
