‘I’m going to see my way and he’s going to see his way and that’s it,’ said Gia.
Melissa brought back Gia to talk to Joe.
‘You have every right to be mad at my father for putting my Mom in jail,’ said Gia. ‘You don’t think he’s mad at himself. He lives with it every day. He’s not even in this country, but it comes to a point where the bashing is just too much.’

Gia said ‘the jail thing happened five years ago. Let it go under the bridge.’ Gia said she wanted their fight to be over and that it was insane that she didn’t see him for six months.
Joe told her that he didn’t want to fight. The two hugged.
Gia said in a confessional that she was going to try to move on. ‘But it’s not just a deep wound with me but it’s as deep wound with my sisters too.’

Teresa asked why it was said at her party and Jennifer said ‘because she’s a hypocrite.’
In a confessional, a producer asked Teresa, ‘Do you now see how what you did to Jackie and Evan was wrong?’ Teresa said, ‘I said a rumor…I wouldn’t say it was true.’
Over at Jackie’s house, her husband Evan helped prepare a bbq for her parents Barry, Anne, and her brother Eric. Their kids Hudson, 10, Jonas, 13, Alexis, and Adin, 13, were going away to a two-week sleep-away camp.
No remorse: In a confessional, a producer asked Teresa, ‘Do you now see how what you did to Jackie and Evan was wrong?’ Teresa said, ‘I said a rumor…I wouldn’t say it was true.’
Jackie said in a confessional that she hated sleep away camp when she went. She said was an awkward chubby teenager with big Staten Island hair. She said she thought it would be a totally different experience for them. ‘
I think they are going to have a lot more friends than I had,’ Jackie said.
Margaret met with Dolores at a local home design store. Dolores said she had no furniture for her new house and that she had been going into stores asking if she could buy their floor samples due to shipping delays. Dolores told Margaret that she spoke to Jennifer and didn’t think it was right what she said to her at the party.

Dolores said Bill had to get dragged through the mud and it was like ‘casualty of war.’
‘She pushed it,’ said Margaret. ‘What are you supposed to say when someone’s such a hypocrite.’
Margaret said since she met Jennifer that she has attacked her for having an affair, insulted her mother, and tried to drag Jackie through the mud.
‘Dolores and I have known for several months that Jennifer was trying to get dirt on Evan from Frank,’ said Margaret in a confessional.

‘She wanted to see someone else suffer,’ Margaret said to Dolores.
‘That’s what really bothers me,’ Dolores said.

‘Listen, I could co-exist very easily,’ Margaret said.
Jackie later went over to Jennifer’s house to talk. Jennifer said she invited Jackie over because she had been through something similar.

‘If anyone could relate,’ said Jennifer.

Jackie told her that they were going to be friends and that she didn’t want there to be any of the sneaky trying to destroy each other’s behavior.
‘I don’t want to do that,’ said Jennifer.
Jennifer said that isn’t what Margaret did to her. Jackie said she actually didn’t have a problem with what Margaret said.
‘You said to her a million times how awful she is for cheating on her husband,’ said Jackie. ‘Don’t think that Margaret was wrong to come back at you.’
Not wrong: ‘You said to her a million times how awful she is for cheating on her husband,’ said Jackie. ‘Don’t think that Margaret was wrong to come back at you’

‘I didn’t tell my sister, I didn’t tell my parents, I didn’t tell my best friends,’ Jennifer said in a confessional.
Jackie said in a confessional that she had been through this ‘with all the s*** Teresa put out there about Evan but at the end of it I got to at least tell her kids that none of it was true. Jennifer has to tell her kids that their daddy actually cheated.’
She told Jennifer that she would be there for her.

At Dolores’ house party, the women gathered to celebrate her new space. She gave them a tour.

‘I don’t think the video bothers her at all,’ said Melissa.
That video: ‘I don’t think the video bothers her at all,’ said Melissa
Margaret said in a confessional that she googled Luis’ self-improvement ‘retreat.’ ‘You go there and they break you down,’ she said. ‘They abuse you and tell you what a piece of sh** you are till you can’t take it anymore and you apologize and somehow you are cured.’
Jennifer arrived and Jackie walked up to her to be a friend. Jennifer told her she didn’t know how to act.
Dolores walked up to her and told her there was no reason to cry. Margaret walked right over and said ‘what are you crying about?’
Tears flowing: Jennifer told her she didn’t know how to act and started crying
‘It’s just very overwhelming,’ said Jennifer. She said to Margaret that she didn’t want to fight with her.
‘Listen to me, I don’t want to fight with you, but Jennifer, your behavior to me has been very hypocritical,’ said Margaret. ‘You can’t see that.’
Jennifer said that everything that she had critiqued Margaret about was things that she had been very vocal about.
Bad behavior: ‘Listen to me, I don’t want to fight with you, but Jennifer, your behavior to me has been very hypocritical,’ said Margaret. ‘You can’t see that’
‘What you did to me was mean,’ said Jennifer.
Margaret said she wasn’t mean. She told Jennifer that she knew that she called Frank and others looking for compromising pictures of Jackie’s husband Evan.
Jennifer said she did call one person Serena in Tenafly and that she wanted to tell Jackie about it. Jackie heard them speaking and walked over.
Mean girl: ‘What you did to me was mean,’ said Jennifer
Jennifer said she was just curious and being nosey.
Jennifer said in a confessional that ‘Frank told my husband that he knew the girl and that he knew what she looked like.’
Jackie said ‘I don’t even want to hear it. I don’t want to bring up my husband’s name anymore. As hard as everybody looked they found nothing on my f***ing husband because there is nothing.’
‘I was just asking because it was curiosity,’ said Jennifer.
Just curious: ‘I was just asking because it was curiosity,’ said Jennifer

Jackie told Jennifer she wanted to be supportive to her now despite what she revealed.
‘As frustrated as I am with Jennifer, it’s hard for me to see another woman going through so much pain,’ Jackie said in a confessional. ‘But I can be the bigger person because Jennifer definitely needs support right now.’
