Renee tells the girls about Giana visiting her father. Pia understands how Renee feels, because they did all the work and gave all the love but the dads are getting undue credit and love from their kids. Because everyone is sharing deep thoughts and emotions instead of getting into a fight, Leah mentions that Nora will be at the walk. Renee says she’ll be at the opposite end and Leah says she just wants to include everyone (ahem, Pleather). Renee thinks that if Nora would just keep her bazoo shut, everything would be OK. She stays all calm, so Pia gets the drift and realizes she’s supposed to be the one to get all loud and pissed off.
C-Wow has decided she can no longer trust Pia after Textgate. Renee doesn’t see the problem – she was merely intruding on C-Wow’s privacy by looking at her text messages and saw her own name on it. If her name is on it, I guess that means it’s her business. It goes back and forth really loudly about whether or not Renee’s name was on the text message. Renee thinks it was a joke, but C-Wow thinks she was violated. Because no one walked in on her doing the nasty with herself, Renee doesn’t think that constitutes “violated”. I think she meant that you violated her privacy, Renee. Not her body.
Leah is rightfully pissed at all this mess and wants the girls to check their priorities, because this is about her mom – not their bullshit fights.
Now we get to see why Nora is friends with Desiree – she owns her own tiny bottling…plant? Factory? Warehouse? So, of course, “The German” is going to be bottled here. Probably for free, knowing Nora. I see an expiration date on this friendship already. She also tells Desiree about exhuming her father’s remains. I bet that’s a nice conversation to have in front of employees.
Remember, kids. This is the face of a former stripper. At least one man put money in her pants. *shudder*
Renee meets up with her friend to go to court over her youngest daughter. Neither Renee nor her friend bother to wear a seatbelt. They’re in the backseat, but who cares? Of course, the camera guy is crouched between the front seats, which I’m sure is totally legal. Especially since it’s probably pretty distracting for a driver when there’s a camera guy crouched right by his right arm and several more pacing him in unmarked vans.
Nora goes to see a funeral director about legal post-burial gravedigging. He warns her that he most likely won’t be “viewable”. I guess that means that either it will be too much for her to bear or else it means the obvious – that he’s going to be pretty badly decomposed and no one would know him from Adam. The director has to get the OK from all family members, like her siblings. She explains that she hasn’t talked to her brother since the funeral and her sister is “out of her mind”. Well, that sounds like she’ll knock this one out of the park.

That lawyer’s faces were priceless! You could see the wheels turning on how to get Nutbag Nora out of his office pronto! Did you catch Nora telling that other guy that she wants to see her father’s body and make sure he had an autopsy? OMG – there is really something wrong with her! And Pia hitching that Nora is going around saying that she was on the pole for 15 years and C-Woww goes – but you were! Bwwhaha!!
Wow that has to be difficult having a murderer for a father. Wonder why it landed him in federal prison as opposed to the state pen? What were the extenuating circumstances that made it a federal charge? Poor lady.
Leah can you get any better?
So in the previews Giana chooses to believe her father over Renee.
Also Renee is in a nasty custody battle with her other daughter’s father.
What kind of beast is Renee?
I know she is awful. Sending a text via C-Wow’s phone (juvenile), but she must be really bad if her own daughter sides with her incarcerated father over Renee.
Pia and Leah had moms that were in gangs? Were these gangs like the Pink Ladies from “Grease”?
I haven’t seen the episode yet. Did Leah give us a word of the day?
@Classy – No, unfortunately she spoke mostly English the entire episode, which means I learned nothing.
Dammit! I was watching this show partly for it’s educational value. Italian slang and the history of mobsters in Chicago. or at least that’s what I told my mom I watched it for so she didn’t judge me.
Ha! I’ve used a similar excuse so that people wouldn’t judge me for watching Jersey Shore.
No Classy but she did want cancer to be a loud mouth down the street she could take a bat to it.
Ok I haven’t read the recap yet but I have a burning question….Am I the only one that pauses my dvr to read the letters or articles they show on tv? Because if I am, I’m slightly ashamed (but not really) that I do it, but it is very informative! Especially when they flash a newspaper article about what’s going on in the show. If it’s interesting, I always pause to get the title or publication so that I can look it up and read the whole thing online. Well this time? It paid off as proof that VH1 is full of shit & must think we are dumb.
So there I was listening to Giana tell the story of what her dad did & I immediately want to look it up and get all the details because I’m nosy like that, so I paused the screen to read the article & I’m still laughing at that shit. The article is entitled ‘Robbery turns deadly’ (which should have been my 1st clue that it was fake) and this it what says verbatim..typos & misspellings included:
“Who framed roger rabbit..this is the movie of the century not it actuuall wasn’t I am am justq Coming up with jiberish fro me tw worite todf make this look like an actuea newspapper fffgfgf
oh you like how i added the indintation likeI am actually writing a newspaper article Writting this is a lot more boring thatn i espected it to bel thiin I am down low enough to just duplicate thisa “Bam there I go again wieth anothe indentation aand this time I even added quotation marks” now I am just going to writer the wokds I here…”
WHAT. THE. FUCK?!? bwhahahahahha. Those assholes are idiots & I need to find the name of the intern who wrote that shit so I can send him a muffin basket because that shit is priceless. I seriously laughed for at least 15 mins straight after reading it. It said more shit I couldn’t see under the pause graphic on my screen but then it just repeats itself in the 2nd column, but SERIOUSLY? REALLY? Why even include the fake articles in the show if you can’t find real ones & did they seriously think no one would see that shit? There isn’t anything they can do to make this shit look authentic so why all the nonsense? I. Can’t!
@Fancyface – Nice catch! I actually thought about going back to the episode to see if I could pause that article, because I couldn’t find a damn thing online about her dad. I wanted to find the whole story, since she kinda’ glossed over it. Now I’m going to HAVE to go back to see what it says. That’s hilarious!
And you’re right. I’m finding that Nora is basically the only one who’s legit on this show, which must explain her insanity. I still love me some Leah, but the rest seem to be wannabes. Although, maybe we should look up those gangs that Leah’s and Pia’s moms were in. Maybe THEY are the mob connection here.

Here is an article about the murder. Interstate commerce is why it was federal. Really, they had to kill a 78-year old lady?
@labowner….thanks for the link! Now, I’m confused, is her dad the Carcione person the article is about or the Volpe character? Because she said her dad owned the bakery & the article is saying the guy that ratted him out, Volpe, owned it. I do seem to recall her saying her ex was a dirty rat so I’m assuming he’s Volpe
Giana’s last name is Volpe so I am going to assume that is the dad.
Shoved flowers down her throat and wrapped her head in duct tape? WTF is wrong with some people.
