Fan ofJersey Shore Family Vacationare wondering: Will this reunion drama ever actually die down? Things seemed to get squashed in this week’s episode, but as everyone knows, this isAngelina. The peace will not last.
‘Jersey Shore Family Vacation’ Angelina Is Not Dramatic, She’s Just Passionate. Allegedly.
We start off with Angelina andNicole, as Angelina has decided to ruin the good vibes to air her grievances about the reunion. They kind of hash things out, but there was no real resolution or understanding developed. This tells a learned viewer of this series that it will come back later, as Angelina still doesn’t understand that she overreacted toJenni’s normal friend questions. She feels like she isn’t over dramatic, she’s just “passionate”, which is followed by another moment of A+ editing, as all of Angelina’s “passionate” moments are played one right after the other.
Meanwhile, in the other room,Sammiis catching up with everyone, and making it very clear that she is there to mend relationships, not fight, continuing to distance herself from Angelina’s nonsense hilariously. It’s both a smart move, and a fair move. The crew comes together to have a fabulous family dinner, which, sidebar; it’s pleasant to see regular people who know how to cook on TV. They have a nice dinner and the family is officially back together again. Well, almost.Ronnieisn’t there. Yet. AndMike, who invited him, is well aware that this may spark controversy, as Sammi once again brings up all the pain Ronnie caused her in the past. There’s about to be a situation.

How long willJSFVfans have to endure the constant stream of nostalgic throwbacks? Who knows. What is known is that OG fans are living for it. Sammi and Vinny begin ripping on each other just like old times, as is shown viaflashback footage of the worst rap battle in the historyof rap battles. A+ editing, yet again. After dinner,Deenapulls Angelina aside to hash things out. This conversation felt more productive, as Deena was able to focus Angelina on their personal issue, as Jenni had nothing to do with Deena’s beef, despite Angelina’s insistence on the opposite. It seems like she heard her, but again, we’ll see if that’s actually true. Regardless, they hug it out, and the festivities officially begin. The boys go down to the game room to chat and gossip, while the girls get that good wine drunk, inciting a loud and sloppy love fest, which, to their credit, is extremely fun. Theirdrunken fun is montaged under a score of Boyz II Men’s “Motownphilly”, which solidifies the hypothesis that all of this is purely a gift for Xennials and Millenials.
‘Jersey Shore Family Vacation’ The Prank War Champion Rises
Pauly D is one of the most unserious people on the planet. So naturally, as theself-proclaimed prank war champion, his next prank had to be something out of this world. During the episode we learn that Mike is a flat-earther and Deena believes that aliens inhabit human bodies, much similar to the beliefs of a certain church that will not be named. All the alien talk sets the stage for Pauly’s next prank. The exposition phase of this prank was easy to start, as the conversation about aliens came up naturally. Next up, is the rising action, in which Pauly is setting the wheels of the prank in motion. He chats with the workers at the ski resort to bring them in the loop and to ensure they play along. After all, every good director knows that building a complete world is necessary for better storytelling. This isn’t just a prank, it’s a full-on production that includes a drone show.
And based on the freakouts in the preview for next week’s episode, the prank will work. The editing made it seem like the freakouts are due to some Angelina vs. Jenni problems, but with Deena’s “I want to go home and be with my kids” reaction, it’s more likely that Pauly’s prank was a success.
