At the Giudice house, all of the koi in their backyard pond have disappeared. I bet Milania ate them like sushi. Teresa sits with Joe next to the lifeless pond and tells him that she's been thinking more about the idea of going to couples therapy with her brother. Joe says that he already gave his opinion on that matter, and is embarrassed for Teresa that she's even considering it. Juicy Joe, an enemy of mental health! Teresa tells us that therapy goes against her family values, but it's her last ditch effort to mend her relationship with Joe Gorga. Oooh, and THEN we learn that Juicy was forced to go to therapy when he was eleven because he was getting in trouble in school. You know he was totally getting into Dexter-like activity or some shit. Apparently it wasn't a good experience, and obviously didn't work. Teresa still secretly thinks that they're going to therapy just so Joe Gorga can get over his personal issues, but to her credit she's willing to try it. The Gorga parents of course are not behind the idea of therapy, because they'd rather just scream it out at someone's christening. In the end, Juicy gives Teresa his blessing, mostly because he doesn't care, and then proceeds to call Joe a woman. Awesome.
And then we rejoin Joe and Melissa as they are heading to her big celebratory party. They talk about all the shit she's getting on Twitter for being a talentless famewhore, and Joe says, "You have to be some loser that just sits there all day and just says negative shit about someone on the Internet. I don't know if you have a job, you're not getting laid. I mean, get a life and move on!" This IS my job, fuckbrains. Caroline and Jacqueline tweeted some lovely things to Melissa, but Teresa did not. And it turns out that Teresa is so preoccupied with the impending stress of seeing Jacqueline and Caroline that she can't even delight in all of the nasty remarks about Melissa. This shows us that things must be really bad. Chris Manzo sent a sad text to Joe, and now they're going to have to make a wrestling appointment to get their feelings out or whatever.
Soon enough we're at the party, and Rosie is already wasted! Chris points out what we've all been thinking, which is that we went through an "On Display" single release party already, one whole season ago. But the song is so great, why not revisit it? Kathy talks to Caroline and Jacqueline about Jamie's wedding, and of course the subject turns to Teresa and the tabloid article in which she may or may not have said mildly disparaging things. Caroline explains that she and Teresa officially broke up as friends, and Kathy finds the whole thing to be very hurtful. She hopes that everyone can become friends again. As Caroline congratulates Melissa on her wild success in the recording industry, Jacqueline unloads on Kathy. She says that she loves Teresa, but wants to know if her friend is being honest with her.
