The whole conversation is pretty funny. Basically it goes something like this: Lana says something crappy about Alicia (“she brought her friend”), Natalya does the incredulous, slow repeat to make sure she heard right (“she BROUGHT her FRIEND?”), and then they both talk about how horrible Alicia is and how bad things should happen to her. Rinse, repeat. At least I think that’s what’s happening; there is a LOT of bleeping.
Natalya wishes she had been at the park as Lana’s backup and the thought of that has me rolling with laughter. I mean, Lana could take Alicia and Tricia herself, blindfolded and only using her right arm and left leg, and Natalya seems WAY more threatening than Lana. Throwing Natalya into that mix would sort of be like pitting N.W.A. against a quintet from Glee.
Natalya starts making threats and Lana reminds her she has children. Natalya opines that it’s okay; the kids are still too young to know what’s going on and they can explain everything to them later. These two are HILARIOUS! They toast Alicia’s official banishment…
…which is also bleep-ridden. These two are bleeping hilarious.
After a commercial, we’re off to the TLC-arranged all-cast group event/Amy’s mom’s surprise party at the Mob Museum.

As Amy approaches the museum with her mom, Wendy, she interviews that it’s tough to surprise someone with mob connections since back in the old days, a surprise typically meant you were going to get whacked. Wendy is a good sport though and we see her walking around the party greeting people. In attendance are Lisa Hill, wife of mobster Henry Hill, whose life inspired the movie Goodfellas, as well as “Uncle” Phil Maloof, who Wendy says is worth “like $24 billion.”
As Alicia walks up the steps to the Mob Museum, she trips and falls which of course TLC shows. Jen tells Amy that Marco’s at home with the kids, and then interviews that it’s really nice to have a night away from all the stress at home. But despite their individual challenges, all in all the ladies (sans Lana) seem to be enjoying themselves.
Apparently they don’t teach “hand”gun formation on the pageant circuit.
Seriously wtf is Alicia doing with her right hand?
Finally in walks Lana…with Natalya! And all their boobies. Lord, ladies, they’re already ample enough without all the push-up action you two have going on. Amy interviews that the tension was palpable upon the sisters’ arrival, and that if they ruin her mom’s birthday she’s seriously going to be pissed. So let’s add alcohol!
Lori interviews that she wants everyone to get along, so hey…why not take our alcohol-fueled selves out into the hallway and try to talk things over again? She asks Lana and Alicia if they’ll give it one more go and Lori, Lana, Alicia and Jen head out.
Oh F!@#!@$*(#@%)!@#$!@!!!!!!

This was a great recap, thanks! Oh, and people who order spicy crab rolls very very very mild, like almost not spicy…crazy mild are why God gave line cooks saliva.
What is with Lana and why don’t we ever see her husband?
@labowner — I’m fairly positive that she ate him.
JimbobJones I would believe that. Wonder if he is an iffy businessman, thus he doesn’t want to be shown. Oh and Lana very easy to be rich in a place that is known to be very inexpensive. Take your show to NYC or LA and see how far you get. Her sister is a train wreck from hell.
Does Marco not work at all?
Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by.
I stand corrected re: Marco.
“Prior to working as a professional hairdresser, Traniello was a real estate agent and the captain of an oil ship In 1999, while on vacation in America, Traniello met his future wife, professional poker player Jennifer Harman, in the parking garage of The Bellagio hotel and casino, where their cars were parked next to each other.”
Also, Victor Fuchs is a health economist. Sounds pretty shady to me.
“Victor R. Fuchs is an American health economist. He has been called “the dean of health economists” by New York Times economics columnist David Leonhardt. He is the Henry J. Kaiser, Jr. Professor at Stanford University, emeritus. Since 1962, he has been a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and is the co-director of the FRESH-Thinking Project, CASBS, at Stanford University.”
So kind of sounds like he’s in California most of the time. And nearing 80.
Thanks Wikipedia!
That May-December thing is REALLY common out here, by the way; much more so than my native Detroit. When I first moved here 7 years ago I totally didn’t get that I was actually being hit on by older men, like really older men. It just seems way more acceptable or sometimes even expected. Gotta love Vegas girls!
Oh my mother loving god look at what I found. Lana is reality tv whore. Who’d a thunk.
