And now back to Jacqueline and Teresa. Teresa accuses Jacqueline of attacking her. She merely had to defend herself! But she says that she'll never attack Jacqueline or bring her down. Jacqueline says that Teresa already has done that, in little ways. Teresa doth protest, and Jacqueline points out that people other than Teresa are allowed to be hurt. Elsewhere, Melissa is pissed that Teresa is stealing her thunder with this continuously escalating argument. She goes over to put her nose in the middle of it all, and point out that everyone can hear them yelling. Oh, they weren't even talking that loud and there are a ton of people at the party. Go play your stupid dumb song again.
OH NO, but then Teresa turns to Melissa and says that Danielle contacted her about the fact that Melissa had been speaking with her. Jacqueline interjects a snitty, "TWO YEARS AGO," and Teresa instantly gets the table-flipping face. She turns to Jacqueline -- and I have to say that I think this one is somewhat justified -- and says, "So what it was fucking two years ago?" She points out that this is her sister-in-law, HERS, thank you and goodbye. Jacqueline takes a swig of her drink, turns around, and lets out an emphatic, "Fuck you." She then goes and sulks to Caroline, and tells us that now sees Teresa for exactly what she is. She also understands why everyone hates Teresa. She's a liar, and a faker, and now she's questioning Saint Jacqueline who has only tried to love and support her.
But back to Melissa and Teresa. Teresa confronts Melissa about Danielle's claim that Melissa was telling Danielle stories about the Gorga/Giudices. As further evidence of this, she points out Danielle's knowledge that Teresa didn't visit her nephew in the hospital, which of course was dropped on one of the reunion episodes. At the time Teresa said, "I wanna know who the fuck she's talking to." Well, now she knows. Melissa doesn't seem to have a whole lot to say about this. Elsewhere, Jacqueline tells Chris that he can be friends with Joe, but she's done with Teresa. She then proceeds to go on and on about what a terrible person Teresa is, which is something that everyone else already knew, and how jealous Teresa is, which is something that everyone else already knew.
But back to Melissa and Teresa. Melissa thinks it's very strange that Teresa is bringing this up, since she's usually the first one to talk about the merits of forgetting the past. And I mean, personally, I feel like this one is fair game, especially because it's obviously true. Melissa tells Teresa that when this all occurred she was pregnant and hormonal and also she and Teresa hated each other. Teresa is all, "I didn't hate you!" and Melissa is like, "Srsly?" What she should have said is, "You still hate me." And then she just cops to it, saying that when Jacqueline and Caroline are mad, they punch each other in the face, and when she was mad, she talked to one of Teresa's enemies. Teresa says that she should have called her to clear the air, but Melissa points out that whenever they got on the phone all they would do was scream at each other. Teresa attributes this to the fact that they're both bitches. Fair enough, I guess. And then a drunk friend of Kathy's grabs Jacqueline and tells her not to take on other people's problems. Jacqueline recognizes some truth in what this drunken sage has said, and the drunken sage then teaches Jacqueline two words that will change her life: fuck it. Little Jacks picks up quickly and says, "I lost a best friend tonight. Fuck it." And thus we have a woman transformed.
