Renee’s spiritual cleaner, Momma Donna shows up to help remove the negative energy in her house. There is some burning of herbs and spraying of holy water and something involving blue balls (hee).
This hat is very important for clearing evil spirits. They can’t stay evil if they are laughing.
AJ and his girlfriend come in at the end. They laugh at the ridiculousness of it and Renee thinks the energy is already feeling lighter. Yay for Renee! Our girl is a survivor if nothing else.
Drita meets up with Big Ang and tells her how the sit down went. She’s proud of herself for staying calm even though she didn’t want to rehash the past and that was all Karen wanted to do. Big Ang is excited because she is throwing a dinner party and is inviting Karen and CousinSuckUp and their kids. Drita is fine with Karen but refuses to even acknowledge CousinSuckUp. And, really? Can you blame her? None of us want to acknowledge that chick’s existence either.
Everyone arrives at a very cool looking steakhouse for Big Ang’s dinner. What I like about this is that the kids are there. It comes back to family again. And, since this is Staten Island and not Jersey, there will be no table flipping. Just a lot of swearing and laughter.
Here’s to a third season of bitch-tasticness!
Renee approaches Drita and Karen about the meeting. They pull her leg a bit and tell her it was awful but then admit that they are cool for now. Renee is so overjoyed that now it can be all about supporting her again. And my god Karina is beautiful. I felt really bad for her when Karen announced that she would be moving Karina to Staten Island full time. I still can’t tell whether or not that was the first time Karina heard that decision or if she knew and just had a moment of showing her sadness. It was so brief that I couldn’t tell. I feel so bad for her because it’s like we can all see the exact moment when her life is going to go off the rails. She has been somewhat protected from her mom’s famewhoring exploits by living so far away while the show is filming. Now, she is going to have to be a first hand witness. It’s not just the fame whoring it’s also the fact that Karen probably still has a good many enemies in that city if you consider how many people her dad killed. Now, Karina has to deal with that plus her mom showing her ass on television plus not having a say in how much of her own life is getting filmed.
Karen and Drita even start to reminisce a bit about their past exploits. What’s awesome is the seething anger that CousinSuckUp can’t seem to hide throughout the conversation. Seriously, she gives BitchFace every single time Drita and Karen interact and it’s kind of awesome. Please Vh1 kick her off the show! She adds nothing and isn’t even remotely likeable. She isn’t even fun to hate. She is just a nonentity. What is interesting is that Carla keeps giving Ramona the evil eye. I really want to know if there is some truth to some of the internet rumors I’ve read regarding Ramona and her friends jumping Carla.
Anyway, the season ends with lots of laughing and dancing, and toasts being given by the kids. It was kind of delightful.
Maybe if I hang on to Karen’s ass a little tighter, they will keep me on the show.
But, then we see previews for the reunion and it looks like Drita and CousinSuckUp are going to really go at it while Joy Behar sits there ineffectually.
So, what did you think Gasmii? How long do you think the truce between Karen and Drita will last? Do you think CousinSuckUp is going to use the reunion as her last bid for staying on the show? What about the evil looks that Carla was giving CousinSuckUp? Do you think there’s anything there? I want to hear it all.
If you like it, spread it!:

Plath, sorry you were sick and glad you are feeling better.
Funny, I am thinking Karen and Drita are where Christie and Joey Lynn (Brooklyn 11223) are going to be in 15-20 years. I think I understand why Karen is upset with Drita.
I think Drita did know how to get in touch with Karen and might have made, if anything, a weak attempt at letting Karen know about Lee and herself.
BUT! She did apologise for hurting Karen and let’s move the fuck on already.
I noticed that if you took all of the bleeped out words from all of the housewives shows and combined them that total would still pale in comparision to the bleeped out cussing on Mob Wives. Shoot maybe even fall short of one TH from Drita (not knocking it…I’m a cussah).
Ramona is THIRSTY!!!!!!!!
AND once again she brought up her grandfather. I hope she gets knocked the fuck out.
Glad you feel better Plath!
@labowner, I haven’t watched the whole season of Brooklyn 11223 (it got boring after the second episode for me and I just started watching other stuff) so, I’m not sure I understand.
@sheesh, Please dish. I know nothing about Karen and Drita’s history (I only know what I see on the show – and the Vh1 blog), but I LOVE internet gossip. So, if you know something that you are not sharing – SHARE!
It’s just my opinion really, but you can see the spin spin spin with Drita saying that she couldn’t get in contact with Karen.
Then she went on with “I don’t consider you a friend if I don’t see you everyday”.
I bdon’t think Drita is being completely honest.
I haven’t watched a bit of “Brooklyn 11223″ but I know enough because I read the recaps and that recapper actually made me care about these two girls, and the show.
Basically Drita will NEVAH cop to the fact that maybe her and Lee moved a little too quickly after Karen left town and that drives Karen insane.
You know when how a woman still feels ownership of a guy after they have broken up if she has been with him for a signifigant period of time before the breaku. Couple that with Karen’s sense of entitlement and anyone with half a brain should have known better than to try to get with Lee ever.
Drita was close friends with Karen, should understand Karen, and still got with him and had a beauty with him.
Ye,s yes, Karen was living in Arizona. Yes, she had a beauty with another man. Yes, she was with another man, but we’re talking about FEELINGS.
Let’s just say if the shoe was on the other foot Drita would be understandably hurt.
I don’t know. It seems like Karen did kind of just disappear. I mean her dad was in Witness Protection and I think it’s entirely possible that everyone assumed Karen was too. Karen even gave an interview stating that she wasn’t in witness protection because so many people kept assuming she was. If all of her friends in Staten Island assumed she had gone into protection wither dad, it would make sense that they wouldn’t know how to get in touch with her.
Also, Karen (even though she wasn’t in WP) pretty much uprooted and left without telling anyone where she was going. I think it’s unfair of her to expect Drita to play detective to find out where she was when she had already left Lee and she had already given birth to (or was pregnant with – Karen is very unclear about her timeline) another man’s child.
If it is true that Karen believed she and Drita were still very close friends when she left, why didn’t she ever reach out to Drita in all that time? If someone drops all contact with me and moves somewhere without telling me where they are going, I am going to assume they don’t consider me their friend anymore and keep it moving. I certainly wouldn’t assume that they were expecting me to try to track them down to tell them about marrying an ex-boyfriend. Drita said that she was pregnant with Aleeya when she and Lee got married. Karina is 2-3 years older than Aleeya. That’s a pretty big gap of time with them not having any contact with each other. If they had been living in the same town during that time, or even talking to each other on the phone a couple of times a year, I could see Karen being upset about Drita not telling her. But since they weren’t and everyone assumed Karen was in Witness Protection, it seems like Karen should have made a bit more of an effort to keep a friendship that she claims meant so much to her.
I also want to point out that whether or not Drita was in the wrong, she very sincerely apologized for hurting Karen. She didn’t pull any of that “I still think you are a liar, but I’m going to be the bigger person” crap that Karen pulled in this last episode. She saw that Karen was hurting and she apologized to her. So, I’m always going to assume that Drita is the more genuine person when it comes to the two of them.
Oh I am team Drita because she did very sincerely apologise.
Like I said though, Karen is the kind of person that since she was with Lee for so long none of her friends should have gone out with him ever in her eyes.
Drita knew this and she dated, married, and had a child with Lee. That’s not gonna fly with Karen and her mentality.
I do believe that Karen needs to build a bridge and get over it already, this is Karen though…the same person that brings a doctor’s note to a sitdown to prove that she didn’t go to the hospital after a fight.
I think Karen would have reacted the way she did even if she and Lee hadn’t been together for very long. She apparently cheated on him left and right so it was a matter of ownership with her. And, yes I agree that Drita would have known that about Karen. But, I still think that it is ridiculous of Karen to expect Drita to track her down when she pretty much had cut off all contact with her friends in Staten Island.
Drita was living with Karen. That is why Drita gets so upset, she knows she did a major wrong.
Maybe Karen didn’t call Drita because she didn’t want to involve Drita in her family shit. We know how the mob works, if there was even a hint that Drita knew Karen’s where abouts they would have gone after Drita.
My friends exes are off limits to me and most of the females I know feel the same way.
