Chris and Albie start working for their uncle, who hopes that one day the boys will take over the family business. Chris starts running off business ideas, including a book of toilets and a breathalyzer iPhone app. Then Albie jokes that Ashley should have that on her Twitter. Ha! God bless the Manzo boys.

Melissa, Joe, Caroline, Lauren, Jacqueline, and Chris go out a hookah restaurant with the Walkiles to celebrate Rich’s birthday. When the bellydancers perform, Joe gets up and dances with them, and Melissa doesn’t know whether to laugh hysterically or to feel embarrassed.

Teresa and Jacqueline are getting ready for Lauren’s salon and spa, called Chateau. Jacqueline tells Teresa about Rich’s birthday, and Teresa says in her interview that she knows Jacqueline was friends with Teresa before she was friends with the others, but if she "jumps ship" it's bye-bye, Jacqueline. Good to know, Teresa.

At the opening, we also find out that there’s a corner of the salon that sells Lauren’s make-up line, Mally. I don’t even know her personally and I’m proud of her. Lauren shows Jacqueline the shirts Ashley designed for the event, and they actually look really good. Ashley’s still not off the hook, though. At least she and her mom are being civil to each other.

Later, Teresa and Milania go grocery shopping for healthy "indgredientses" for dinner. Milania, looking cute as ever, makes up songs for all the food she’s picking up. Then she falls into the cheese section. An unimpressed Audriana looks on, longing to play with Teresa’s phone. Teresa calls Joe and invites him to her book signing.

Melissa has the Soul Diggaz over to finish her song, On Display (On Display, On Display). She stumbles a little bit, but then "does really well." Well, it’s better than Tardy for the Party!

Chris, young Chris, and Albie meet with new clients and discussing the possible distribution of something called Black Water. Chris woos the costumers, as well as the people watching at home (most importantly, me). Oh, Chris. Don’t stop being you.

Joe Giudice tries to ruin Teresa's relationship with her in-laws by sending mean text messages, threatening him if he comes to Teresa’s book signing for Skinny Italian.

Teresa’s already 15 minutes late when she leaves for her book signing, and by the time she gets there it’s 5:35pm. She meets some brother-sister fans, and one young man "proposes" to her. He must be around 17, making it even more precious.

After the lines wind down, Kathy and Rich show up, and Kathy asks Teresa to sign her copy, as well as a copy for her mom. In her interview, she gets choked-up while talking about how much she wants for Teresa and the family to be happy.

Later, Melissa and Joe show up, and Joe asks to buy several copies of her book. As she's signing his copy, she gets teary-eyed when she writes “I love you more than anything in this world. I miss my brother." He asks her to read it out loud to him, and then he kisses her on the cheek and tells her to tell her husband to stop threatening him. They start arguing about Joe Giudice, how Teresa never invites them to stuff and it seems like the whole point of showing up to the signing was to keep the fight going. Very mature.

When Teresa gets home, it’s clear that Joe’s had tons of wine to drink. He chips a tooth while trying to imitate Gia’s gymnastics moves, and repeatedly tells Teresa to shut up when she mentions her brother. Teresa briefly blames Melissa for the "poison" that’s being fed to her brother. Ugh. Joe brings back his phone to show Teresa what he texted to her brother. Actually, he hands the phone over to their friend John, who merely paraphrases what the texts say. Oh, what a great idea! NOT. Joe’s still super drunk, going on and on about the Gorgas, and the guests all look horrified.

Honestly, it’s time for Caroline to sit everyone down and tell them to get their act together. Also, will Melissa ever make a music video for On Display (On Display, On Display)? Will Ashley and Jacqueline ever be happy with each other again? Just when things were starting to look up for everyone, we are still left with so many questions.
