After Melissa and Joe Gorga’s housewarming party, Teresa Giudice has arranged for some healing for herself, Jennifer Aydin, and Dolores Catania ahead of her Tipsy in Tulum party.
The healing lady does a sound bath and tells them to think about everything that’s been stressing them out and let it go. The producers do a shady edit of all the sh*t the housewives have been fighting about.
“My mind’s too f*cked up to be cleansed right now. It’s not happening. My mind doesn’t shut off,” Dolores tells the cameras.
She then sees a big crystal monument and the healing lady tells her that it helps with abundance and growth. Dolores says she needs it because she and her boyfriend Paul Connell are going into the electricity business together.
That’s not what the girls expect to hear and Jennifer asks about Paul’s divorce status. Dolores brushes off the question and says, “He can’t do more than he’s doing.” Jennifer says skeptically, “Right.”
Despite wanting to get married, Dolores now says that marriage is not at the forefront of her mind. Sure, Dolo.
The non-healing continues. Jennifer tells Teresa that her brother Joe Gorga threw her housewarming card in the fire. Teresa’s all whatever because it was her hubby Luis Ruelas’ idea to give them a gift in the first place.
Danielle Cabral is still mad at Jennifer Aydin
Danielle Cabral and Melissa Gorga are rehashing the housewarming party at the new Envy store. The Bougie Kidz owner recounts how Jennifer got upset because she had a step-and-repeat at her charity event but didn’t have her husband’s plastic surgery name on it. Jennifer also hinted that Danielle was profiting off her event.
“To say that you would steal from a charity, that’s deep,” Melissa tells Danielle. “And that I step on people to get ahead,” Danielle adds.
Melissa wonders if Jennifer and Teresa are just salty that Danielle is friends with her. She brings up Jackie Goldschneider as an example because she accused Melissa of being upset with her for consorting with Teresa. The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” group is so divided that viewers need a flow chart.
Teresa Guidce and Jennifer Aydin still hate Margaret Josephs
The “RHONJ” cast is getting ready for Teresa’s Tulum party (except Melissa and Joe of course) and they’re all wondering if Danielle and Jennifer are going to continue their fight about the fundraiser. “I mean, I hope they don’t go that low on each other,” Dolores tells Paul. This is what we call foreshadowing.
Everyone arrives in their finest Tulum gear, which consists of glitter and headpieces apparently. Jackie comes in and Dolores pointedly ignores her after learning she called her a slob. “I learned a long time ago, let somebody destroy themselves. Sometimes they can do it better than you,” she tells the cameras. “And I just sit back and watch that.”
Jackie asks the rest of the girls if she should talk to Dolores. Jennifer asks if she really texted Margaret that she hated Dolo. “I think in the moment I hated her,” Jackie admits. She points out that Margaret is the bad guy for exposing the text because it hurt Dolores as well.
“Do you think Margaret cares that Dolores is going to be insulted?” Jennifer asks. “She has an agenda to sabotage.” Jackie responds, “I always thought that she was a good person.”
Teresa and Jennifer poo-poo that sentiment and reiterate that they think Margaret is the worst person on the face of the planet.
Jackie Goldschneider tries to save herself
Everyone is all drinking and pretending they’re in Tulum, which is not marred by the fact that half of the group is mad at each other. Jackie goes up to Dolores and asks to talk. “Um, listen, you know how sorry I am,” she says. “When we were having a conversation, then you look down and see something like that, my stomach turned and I didn’t know what to say, Dolores.”
“I’m not ready to buy that right now,” Dolores tells her. Jackie keeps trying to apologize and says, “The real bad guy in this situation is Margaret. She’s said terrible things about everybody.”
Dolores is not buying Jackie’s excuses and could not give two craps about how she feels about Margaret. “Jackie talks a lot of sh*t. That’s why she’s in this mess,” she tells the cameras.
Jackie tells Dolores that she wants to fight for their friendship but the girl from Paterson is just done.
Danielle Cabral vs. Jennifer Aydin
Danielle confides to Teresa about her argument with Jennifer. Who just happens to show up? Why, Jennifer of course! “RHONJ” producers be producing.
Jennifer tells Danielle that she didn’t like how she threw out the hairstylist Lina from her VIP area at the charity event.
Meanwhile, Danielle is upset that Jennifer implied that she stole money from the charity. “I didn’t say you stole from the charity. I said you paid yourself back,” Jennifer says. “You told me you were paying yourself back and then you were donating everything.”
Danielle reiterates that she used the charity money to pay the vendors and the rest went to the cause. However, according to Jennifer, Danielle told her that she was going to pay herself for the time she spent on the charity. Shady pines, Ma!
Jennifer alleges that Danielle’s hair extensions person Marissa asked her to be a model for a master class when it was actually for her website. She accuses Danielle of trying to make money off of her friend.
Danielle explains in a confessional that her friend Marissa came out with a new hair line and asked Jennifer to do the photo shoot. “The phone call had nothing to do with getting paid. Being Jen’s friend, I wanted to tell her just an FYI, this is what you’re going to be doing. Your hair girls might be offended by this. You’re going to be promoting someone else’s line.”
After Danielle gave Jennifer a heads-up, she decided not to do it. However, she’s now twisting the conversation to make Danielle look like the bad guy. The two call each other bad names and things go left when Jennifer shoves Danielle. A water bottle makes its way to Jennifer’s head and security breaks them apart.
“Your wife’s a b*tch!” Danielle yells at Bill Aydin, who is sitting enjoying a drink inside. He looks unbothered but he has to know that this is the end of his wife’s time on “RHONJ.” Bye-bye, extra spending cash!
