Mob Wives Chicago Recap: Damage Control


C-Wow meets up with Nora to shower her with sympathy and love.  Nora comes in sporting the go-to battered wife sunglasses and dramatically whips them off to reveal her scratched-up face which she cleverly slathered in Vaseline for added effect.  This whole show brings C-Wow to gentle tears. 

Ah, it’s only a flesh wound.

I would feel bad for her, but she did accuse Renee of being repeatedly raped by her own father.  I mean, who says that?  Even if it’s true, who says that?  Especially if it’s true, actually.  And why would that need to be used as an insult?  Would you have a massive amount of sympathy for a girl who was regularly raped by her own father?  What kind of person would use that against you instead of as a way to put their behavior into perspective?

The word “ambushed” is thrown all over the place, which is really starting to make me see Nora as the Teresa Jew-dice of this series.  She warns C-Wow that they’re probably after her next.  Nora tells us that Renee and Pia are dead to her, which is the complete opposite of what her literally dead father is to her.   

Because no one can leave anything alone, Renee meets up with her brother so she can tell him everything Nora said.  Because his name isn’t “Joey”, it only leaves him to be named Frankie.  Renee breaks down into tears.  The prelude to the real deal is that she just wanted Nora to be honest with her about why she’s suddenly decided to start hating her.  Um, you were tardy for the Dia de los Papas Muertos party, dear.  That is apparently the worst thing anyone can do.  Then, she drops the bomb.  Instead of using the word “rape”, she said “molested” because saying the former is just too hard to say to her brother. 

Frankie doesn’t understand what would drive Nora to say such things, because Renee has been so good to her.  “Good to her!?  Are you nuts?!  She has my couch, I paid her cellphone bill, I got her nails done, her Botox…”  WHOA WHOA WHOA, WHAT???  Nora has had Botox done?  Where?  She has the face of a Bloodhound. 

Frankie looks like he’s ready to slip a Louisville Slugger out of his leather jacket and put it to Nora’s head.  When he asks if she wants him to “contact” Nora, you can see in her face that she got exactly what she wanted. 

Is it just me, or is everyone confused about how Leah’s dad can be a “retired” mob associate?  Isn’t the mafia a “blood in, blood out” kinda club? 

Leah goes to C-Wow’s to give her a mani and before she can even really get started, C-Wow tells Leah that she met up with Nora.  She breaks down into tears while describing Nora’s face.  Leah tries to wake C-Wow up to the fact that she’s treading on thin ice by defending Nora and talking shit about Renee and Pia.  Leah still upholds the idea that running your mouth without having the chops to back it up is stupid and warrants a severe ass kicking.

Hi, there!  About me...well, let's see.  I like to think of myself as an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in a mystery.  Sometimes my personality doesn't even reconcile in my own head.  I'm a really caring and sensitive person, but I have a dark, dry, sarcastic sense of humor which tends gives the impression that I have no soul.  I am married to a great guy who shares my sense of humor and we have a son who, both fortunately and unfortunately, has his mother's personality.   I'm an independent contractor who works from home and keeps the kid all day, everyday.  I've loved to write my whole life and have big, never-to-be-achieved dreams of one day writing a book.  My favorite past time is laughing, which is what brought me to this site.  I can laugh at almost anything, so beware.

    BWHAHAHAHA- C-Woww is as big of a nut as Nora is. Sticks and Stones, my ass! She’s is convently forgeting the first freaking episode when she was egging Pia on to confront Nora about what Nora had said about Pia to Pia’s cousin. Remind me, who got into a fist fight in public, oh yeah C-WOWW and Pia that’s who!! Who started it? C-WOWW , that’s who. These bitches are nuts!! I’m starting to believe Leah is the only one who has a lick of sense.

    Nutjob Nora’s HIGH end Wine (the blood of her father) , she’s going to sell it for $15.99 to $17.99 a bottle, yeah that’s high end!!

    I love this series, I love the “ladies.” I love Leah too, she should have her own show, BUT what do you think about this bonus clip from last week’s episode: http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/814613/bathroom-balloon-head.jhtml#id=1689549
    Why can’t Leah drop ITALIAN FEST??? Why was she bringing up an old issue when they were in the midst of a much worse problem at that moment? Also, in that episode, she just stood there paralyzed when Renee was taunting Nora and starting the big fight, I thought Leah wanted to do away with the violence in her presence…to be fair, maybe the producers didn’t allow her to intervene in that. It brought my love and respect for the gorgeous Leah down one notch, I’m sorry to say. She is still my favorite on the series. Do you ever think that Leah will get in a physical fight with anyone during this series?

    Nora is just batshit friggin crazy.
    When she said that about her father millions of people spit out their drinks simultaneously and muttered a colletive “ew”.
    She’s the kid in school that would say the basest, meanest shit to others and run to the teachers when shit hit the fan.
    She should be boxed out of society.

    C-Wow is missing …lawd I have no idea. She just grunts out dumbassery. If she is supposed to be the “Renee” of this series she is falling woefully short. Soemone needs to get her husband in the picture (I am on my KNEES begging he is a Junyah!)

    Pia..what is she going to do now that she’s coming off the pole?
    Please don’t tell me she’s a singer.

    Leah…I want to see her date a chubby.
    Come on Leah put your money where your mouth is.

    @Sheesh – Thank you for using one of the Words of the Day properly in a sentence. A+ for you.

    and please, please, please don’t let any of these women turn into wannabe pop stars. I’ve had my fill. Though, I’d take Mel over Cuntess any day.

    Oh God…did I just say that? I’ve hit rock fuckin’ bottom.

    I see Pia’s point. Her daughter is what…maybe 15 or 16. I am sure 18 year old sneak in there so either this run in has happened or Bella’s girlfriend’s older brother has come in or something like that.

    Good for her though. I just went to a “shoe show” this past weekend and there was a lady who was probably in her 50′s. I get you may not have another talent, but at no point did you think to get an associates degree or tech school or anything…just to have something to fall back on in case your looks go to the crapper?!?!?!

    I love me some Leah. I can’t understand half of the things she is saying because of her Italian slang, but I love her nonetheless.

    Not sure why C-Wow doesn’t see why these ladies jumped on Nora. Nora said some things that just SHOULDN’T be said.

    Also Pia can reconcile with Renee because she wasn’t Renee’s friend to begin with and she was pre judged on things NORA said. Nora was supposed to be Pia’s friend so Nora shouldn’t say the things she said to or about Pia.

    Sit by Farrah and watch Oprah for eternity. BWHAHAHAHAHAAAA

    I want Leah and Carla to meet. What would Leah have to say about nutty Renee? She would love Drita for backing her talk. She would not bother with Karen and Cousin No One.

    Leah’s dad maybe “retired” because all of his associates are either dead or in jail. My guess is he would still do a job if needed.
