The most aggressively Italian women in America return to Italy! Melissa joyfully shouts “Bonjourno!” to every stranger she passes on the street. Teresa gets misty remembering that the last time she was in Milan, she was pregnant with Milania. Danielle tries to remember the Italian insult “puttana” and comes up with “puta”.

Siggy Flicker, um, calls Margaret Josephs an anti-semite. Whoops, one of these things is not like the other. As all things do, this begins at the Posche fashion show. Margaret challenges Siggy’s decision to walk after Kim D, Jersey’s perennial plot point generator, spread rumors of infidelity about Teresa.

Siggy replied that Kim had never done anything to her. Margaret pointed out that Hitler didn’t murder everyone but he was still a bad person, and here we are: Margaret tearfully apologizing as Siggy picks around in her homemade beef tartare to avoid the bits of cutting board Teresa accidentally mixed in when she prepared it.

There can only be one Punta Princess, as Kathy Wakile points out, but both Teresa and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga want the title. An argument could be made that Melissa deserves the crown solely for the way she hung her head out the airport van window and hollered at the men who, having just landed in the country were now peeing on the side of the highway, “Have some claaaaaaaass!” On the first day’s boat trip, Melissa and Teresa, and their respective Joes, have a tense pose-off in their bikinis.

Despite his wife Caroline assuring him it would be just the two of them, here he is escorting her elderly parents up a mountain and babysitting the screaming Giudice children about a cruise ship.
