After a tumultuous season, the “RHONJ” Season 14 cast is getting ready for one final sit-down dinner hosted by Dolores Catania and Jenn Fessler. Jenn arrives at Margaret Josephs’ house for some cronuts and wine.
Marg tells her about sending Teresa Giudice funeral flowers with the note, “Dear Teresa and James, Sorry for the loss of your dignity. Love, love, love, Marge.” She cackles while she eats her ice cream which is best served cold like revenge.
She’s done with Jackie Goldschneider as well for going to Teresa’s anti-Margaret meeting. “Jackie is the biggest hypocrite in the entire world and I’m glad I’ve learned now so that she could go to something where someone’s going to try and turn people against me.”
“It wasn’t presented to me as a hate summit. It was presented to me as, ‘I just want you guys to hear me out, hear the facts,'” Jenn argues.
Margaret isn’t worried about Teresa at all because she’s confident that there’s no dirt on her. “I don’t run in the shadows and in the dark,” she says. Marg then promises that she has some bombs to drop.
Dolores Catania gets her Paterson on
Dolores Catania comes over to Margaret’s house to talk about the Teresa summit. She explains that the meeting was about explaining what went down with Luis Ruela’s ex over the past couple of years. Dolo adds that Teresa feels that Margaret has been collaborating with the ex to take down Luis and Teresa.
“You allegedly reached out to her in 2021,” Dolores says. Flashback to Teresa accusing Margaret of talking to people in Luis’ past during the last couple of seasons.
Margaret admits that she spoke to the ex in DMs after the “RHONJ” Season 13 reunion but never before then. She says she would never hold a “burn summit” over someone.
Dolores points out that Margaret held a summit of her own before the Season 13 reunion and says, “Thanks for not inviting me to that one.” When Marg says that she did, Dolores turns into Hulk.
“You f*cking lying c***,” she says. Margaret insists that she told her but Dolores clearly thinks she didn’t. She’s so mad her veins are about to pop out.
They keep going back and forth and at this point, someone needs to check Dolores’ blood pressure. She gets up to leave but Margaret tells her to stay.
Margaret is hurt that Dolores called her a “lying c***” and gets an apology. They hug it out and it’s like the fight never happened at all.
Luis Ruelas coaches Teresa Giudice
Teresa is getting ready for the big meeting and Luis wants to know how she’s going to handle Margaret. “Tell her to stay away from our family,” he says. “And you know what? I hope Margaret and her family suffer. You know, I hope her f*cking son suffers the way I suffer, the way other people in our family have suffered.”
He tells her to stay away from Margaret and Rachel, adding, “Your sister-in-law is not even worth a tenth of a second of your time.”
Teresa assures Luis that she’s done with her brother Joe Gorga and memories of the two of them come up on the screen. Before their dad died, Joe promised him that he would take care of Teresa. They both had love, love, love for each other once but sadly, the rift is too big to repair.
Dolores Catania hosts her Last Supper
Dolores and Jenn have set up a nice lunch at the “RHONJ” standby Rails Steakhouse and everything looks so nice. Too bad things will go to sh*t in a few minutes. Everyone’s dressed like either a Mob Wife or an assassin.
The point of this lunch is to get everyone to air their grievances. Dolores lets Jennifer and Danielle go first. Danielle is still upset about Jennifer accusing her of using charity money to pay for her event.
They start insulting each other’s husbands and Jennifer makes a crack about Danielle’s husband’s “boobs.” Danielle hurls a pitcher at Jennifer and security instantly appears. Unsurprisingly, either Dolores or production was prepared for a brawl.
Teresa tells them to stop and Melissa goes, “Cut it out? You’re the queen of this sh*t.” Then they start squabbling at each other. The producers suggest that Danielle leave but she promises that she’ll behave. Jenn is so over the fighting that she leaves in disgust even though she’s the co-host.
Margaret Josephs outs Jackie Goldschneider
Teresa’s whole beef with Margaret was because she thought her former friend was talking to Luis’ ex. According to Teresa, she had proof and subpoenaed Margaret in 2021 to come to court but she never showed up.
Margaret does admit to talking to Luis’ ex in March of 2022 but claims she didn’t before then. Teresa keeps insisting that Margaret is lying and says that she invited the ex to her house before the “RHONJ” Season 13 reunion.
Everyone starts talking over each other and Margaret drops her bomb. “Right when the warrior video came out, right?” Teresa accuses Margaret of leaking the embarrassing video of Luis in some men’s group shirtless on the beach.
And this is when Margaret says, “Jackie had [Luis’s ex] at their house.” Everyone’s jaw drops, including Teresa’s.
At first, Jackie denies, denies, denies, and then she finally admits to talking to the ex. At the time, Teresa had come out with the rumor that Evan Goldschneider was cheating on Jackie so this was all about revenge.
“You subpoenaed the wrong b*tch,” Margaret tells Teresa. Surprisingly, Teresa isn’t mad at Jackie. She gets why she did it after all the Evan drama. Jennifer thinks it’s just because it takes Teresa time to process things. Both are probably true.
Jackie tells Teresa that they’ll talk in private and she walks out with her head hanging in shame. As she sees Margaret, Danielle, and Melissa in the parking lot, she slowly walks backward to hide from them.
Everyone leaves with nothing resolved. “Family is everything. But this group is no longer a family,” Dolores tells the cameras. The “RHONJ” franchise is sleeping with the fishes. R.I.P.
