Teresa and Gia get called into the principal's office at her modeling agency to talk about a big problem: Her Jersey Accent. No, that's not the name of a new Ben Affleck film, it's a real Situation (see what I did there?). Teresa doesn't get it. What accent? I don't hear any accent. The agent pats Teresa on the head, tells her that Gia didn't get the Christian Slater movie (sob! He could have used the publicity!) and holds out her hand for a check for the Dialect Coach she has on retainer downstairs. Without waiting for the check to clear (stupid! stupid!) Gia goes to meet the coach. They then spend a futile hour of their lives trying to exorcise Gia's accent. When Gia fails miserably at the task, Teresa announces that Gia "doesn't want to" rid herself of the accent. Probably the same way she "doesn't want to" do math. She's going to be a star! She can pay someone to talk for her.
Over at Danielle's, Danielle is pretending she is not obsessed with the Manzos by talking to her dog about how much she is over the Manzos. Hey Danielle! I don't think it's working. Danielle then explains that Ashley, Jacqueline's computer-savvy, social media conscious, apparently bored daughter has spent a lot of her spare time crafting "We Hate Danielle" websites. Kids these days! But, really, why does Ashley hate Danielle? And why does she have so much free time? Doesn't she have some music management and/or fashion merchandising and/or impregnating to be getting to? Anyway, Danielle can't wait to tell Kim G. on her. Danielle claims she feels threatened by Ashley's behavior and Kim G. tells her to go to the police. How exciting!
Jacqueline is late to meet Teresa, which is clearly cause for alarm. Teresa asks what's up and Jacqueline explains that Danielle is telling everyone that Ashley sent her threatening messages and she is going to have her arrested. Jacqueline decides that while they are sitting in the fancy white-tablecloth restaurant, she is going to confront Ashley over some nice bowls of soup. Hopefully Teresa won't flip any tables, but no guarantees! Jacqueline admits that she knew about the "I Hate Danielle" Facebook page and she hopes that Ashley didn't actually threaten Danielle. When Ashley arrives, Jacqueline asks her and Ashley denies it all. But by the end of the conversation, Ashley confesses to texting Danielle that she is going to hell and Jacqueline tut tuts, but doesn't scold her or scream, "DO NOT ENGAGE!" but probably because she hasn't watched enough Star Trek.
