‘He took some time away from the show to focus on his sobriety,’ Mike said in a confessional. ‘To what extent and how successful he is, that’s what I want to find out.’

Ronnie said in his confessional that he wanted Mike to see that he was taking sobriety seriously.

‘I really want Mike to see where I am in my life because I have gone to treatment before and then I’ve slipped up,’ Ronnie said in a confessional.

‘Last time I did my 30 days,’ Ronnie told Mike. ‘But it’s like 30 days isn’t going to fix 30 years of f**** up.’

Mike in a confessional that he went through similar things in his sobriety.

‘I know we have not always been close,’ Lauren said. ‘I invited you here even though you blocked me in Stories.’

‘I don’t think I blocked you on Stories,’ Angelina said. ‘I blocked Jenni on Stories.’

Back in Jersey, Deena and Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, 33, worked on their Meatball Show talk show. They decorated a She Shed where they planned to film and then started planning who they would interview. 

They screamed and started crying when they thought that Amy Schumer wanted to be on their show. Deena had her husband call her. Deena then told Snooki that she thought their first guest should be a host.

‘But like who knows how to deal with raunch,’ Snooki said.

Deena suggested Jerry Springer.

‘Jerry deals with raunch people, raunchy situations, and won’t judge us,’ Snooki said to the camera.

Snooki reached out to him over DM.

‘I hate DMing celebrities, it’s just such a thirst trap but Jerry would be perfect,’ Snooki said.

Jerry wrote back and said yes.

‘So Jerry Springer is going to be our first guest?’ Deena said.

‘We are already killing it,’ Snooki said.

Deena told Chris all the things he needed to do including picking up Amy and Jerry and getting coffee and bagels.

‘I need help here,’ Chris said.

Chris called Angelina for help.

‘Deena’s over here,’ Chris said. ‘She’s working my fingers down to the bone.’

Angelina went over to Deena’s house to help them and was told that she needed to pick up Jerry Springer.

‘Jerry f***ing Springer,’ Angelina said. ‘I’m fangirling over here right now.’

Angelina picked up Jerry who was standing on the side of the street after she cleaned up her car.

‘This is a dream come true for me,’ Angelina said to the camera.

Angelina told him that she felt that she could have been on his show. She told him about the breakdown of her marriage and then asked him if he was single.

‘No, I’ve been married for 49 years,’ Jerry said.

‘You are such a great looking older man,’ Angelina said.

‘I don’t think you are going to have any trouble finding a young man,’ Jerry said.

‘I’m not trying to f*** Jerry I’m just trying to see if I’m f***able,’ Angelina said in a confessional.

Deena introduced Jerry Springer as their first guest.

‘He has 5,000 episodes,’ Deena said.

They screamed for Jerry as he walked over to their SheShed. They asked him if he had ever watched Jersey Shore and he said he had seen a few episodes. Snooki said she used to watch his show after school.

‘You brought reality TV to where it is,’ Snooki said.

‘I apologize,’ Jerry said.

‘No, you made us who we are!’ Snooki said.

Deena and Snooki drank and then took a Breathalyzer.

‘If the buzzers going off, don’t drink anymore,’ Jerry tried to tell them.

‘Oh, she lives here,’ Snooki said.

‘My great hope for both of you is that you may never be on my show,’ Jerry said as his final thought.

Angelina drove off to get the next guest, who she was told was Amy Schumer.

‘That’s not the right Amy,’ Snooki said when she saw Aimee E. Hall, 29, from the Floribama Shore show.

‘I never said Amy Schumer,’ Chris told Angelina. ‘Deena thought I knew Amy Schumer’s number?’

‘We love you but we really thought we were getting Amy Schumer,’ Snooki said. ‘So can we just ask your Amy Schumer questions to you.’

Snooki dropped her wine on the floor. Angelina, who was watching from inside the house, said they were ‘lit.’

‘I think next time we should just shoot for one guest,’ Chris said.

Inside the shed, Snooki and Deena danced together. Snooki fell on the ground when she was trying to leave.

Vinny then texted the group that their next vacation should be in San Diego.
