Kathy and her kids prepare dinner. Victoria goes over her schedule for March, which is Brain Awareness Month. This month is especially important to Victoria because, when she was 10 years old, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of a tennis ball. She had to have 10-hour brain surgery, and Kathy leaned heavily on the support of her family, including the Gorgas and Giudices. She says those days seem like a lifetime ago. Victoria and Joseph caucus and tease each other about how to get people involved in her Brain Awareness Club at school. Kathy says she hopes that her kids never have a falling out like Teresa and Joe did. She says, "But then again, you don't spit in the wind because you never know what's going to come back in your face." The kids agree that they hope to remain close. Victoria jokes that they should make a contract. Snap!
Antony the songwriter arrives at the Gorga house to give Melissa a preview of the song he's written for her. The kids dance while he sings a rough but snappy song about feeling the pressure of being on display. He crescendos into a high note with the words, "I'm not the girl to attack." Melissa loves the song, and they run through it a couple of times. Melissa sings about "feeling all these new feelings," which you totally know she wrote. She manages to hit the note. Kind of. And Antony heaps on praise, telling her she has what it takes. This is how monsters are made.
Over at the Manzo manse, Caroline is nervous about an interview she has with some radio bigwigs to discuss a possible parenting advice show. Albert encourages her to use her experience and run with it. Caroline says Albert is her biggest cheerleader, that he tells her a million times a day that he loves her and she's beautiful. "Maybe he needs glasses," she jokes, "but he ain't never gettin' 'em!" Albert promises to be Caroline's wingman and tells her to go knock 'em dead.
