Teresa toasts to happiness and harmony as the kids run off like nutbags. Melissa has some more wine and mentions what a lush she is lately -- "lately" -- before busting into the fact that she was recently at Jacqueline's house and Caroline spilled the beans about Teresa's promise to try to reconcile. Joe Gorga listens and drinks wine, and I begin to wonder if he also has a spray-on beard. He asks how long Teresa and Jacqueline have been friends, and notes that a 10-year relationship means something. Teresa recounts the ills that Jacqueline has committed against her, such as claiming on last season's reunion that Juicy is a cheater, and twittering mean things. She thinks there's a pattern, whereby Jacqueline is friends with someone and comes off as all sweet, but then suddenly gets ragey on them. It happened with Dina Manzo, and also with Danielle Staub. Teresa tells us that Jacqueline had 800 pages of Danielle Staub's court records faxed to her, and who has time to read all that? Especially in faxed format? ESPECIALLY if your shameful secret is that you can't read? Juicy is sick of this crap, and tells her to move on to the next thing. Meanwhile, the kids are having a ball, and Joe is happy that things are going so well family-wise.
With that, we check in with Albie and Christopher as they're fixing up their new restaurant, Little Town, NJ. Their general manager, Kevin Hayes, is there, along with their business partner, Sean McGarr. Kevin shares his plan to have on the menu a giant ice cream sundae in a beach pail with a sparkler candle and a little shovel with which to eat it. Ah, so it's a health food restaurant. Sean thinks that they're within 30 days of opening, and Albie tells us that it's hard to pay rent with a non-existing check from a restaurant that hasn't opened yet. Chris and Albie talk about stealing staff from the Brownstone, and Chris notes that once word gets out how fun it is to work there -- when, assumedly, there is actually a there there -- their dad is going to kill them.
Meanwhile, Kathy and Rosie have a heart to heart about romantic things. Last season, Teresa claimed that Kathy didn't approve of Rosie being gay, but Kathy wants Rosie to know that that's not the case. Rather, Kathy didn't approve of the person that Rosie was seeing. Rosie says that Kathy knew she loved this woman, and even if she didn't care for her, she should have shut up about it. Rosie then breaks my heart as she interviews that she's 45, and very alone. She feels like she's going through life with no one by her side, and wonders when it's going to happen for her. Also, she REALLY wants to get laid.
