Clearly upset about not getting asked to join the cast after Danielle Staub and Dina Manzo left, and desperate for some drama and screen time, Kim keeps egging Melissa and Kathy on about the big christening showdown, and even saying Teresa has a fat ass (Kathy rolled her eyes at that comment). Sure enough, she and Kim D are later invited to attend a Halloween party with the newest Housewives, where the topic of discussion is, once again, Teresa. Melissa wears a too-tight Catwoman suit, and Kim slathers on some whiskers, cat ears, an inappropriately low-cut cami, and calls herself a cat as well. Melissa’s husband Gorge also slips into his sexiest get-up, rocking a Snooki costume while dancing on tables at the nightclub. If he really wanted to pull off the Snooki look, he would’ve known to get sloppy and start fights over nothing. Or basically everything he did last week.

Meanwhile, 20 little kids in costumes run around the Guidice residence. Teresa's created her own superhero costume, calling herself Super T as Milania and Gabriella run behind her, holding her cape as if to look like she was flying. Gia rolls her eyes and tells her mom she looks like a nerd. After Teresa has her fun, she put her girls in their costumes. The three oldest are dressed like rock stars. Gia wears a Katy Perry-style blue wig and a sparkly outfit, and Milania and Gabrielle looked like mini Ke$has. It seems as though the phrase “too young” is not used very often in that family. Oh, and Audriana was dressed up as a gym teacher.

After chatter between the wives regarding their pre-fashion show jitters, it's finally time for the big event. Caroline’s daughter Lauren is in charge make-up for the models, so Caroline drags herself to the venue to support her. Teresa, Jacqueline, and Melissa are getting ready to walk in the show, acting indifferently towards each other in attempt to not cause any commotion. Of course, these are The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and they’re legally obligated to at least one fight per episode. As Melissa gives herself an encore on the runway (earlier she kept saying how “nervous” she was), Kim G and all of Melissa’s sisters crowd around the runway, snapping pictures and cheering her on as if it was the high school prom court. When it was Teresa’s turn to walk, Kim G sneered something about booing Teresa. Very mature for someone of her age.

When the show ends, Jacqueline says that she was waiting for a confrontation to occur, and it eventually does. Kathy attempts to “take the high road” and pulls Teresa aside to talk to her about the christening and how everyone’s upset with her. Teresa storms off to her mother and yells out her frustration. Then Caroline steps in and scolds Kathy and Melissa for starting a petty argument in public. She then tells them that if they’re going to kill each other, "do it in your own house."
