The Real Housewives of New Jersey - Season 2

Everyone's favorite Jersey Girls are back for a brand new season of even bigger drama. The table flip was just the beginning, and in the premiere episode, the girls pick up right where they left off. The family is as thick as thieves, and Danielle is still trying to make her way into their inner circle. The birth of Jacqueline's baby boy brings the Manzo sisters even closer together, and when Caroline throws her annual Sherriff's Fundraiser and doesn't invite Danielle, Danielle makes sure that everyone knows she is still being shut out.

While family is the most important thing to these Jersey housewives, it's also the source of lots of drama. Jacqueline and her daughter Ashley continue to butt heads over Ashley's bad girl behavior. When Caroline's daughter's boyfriend causes a riff in the Manzo clan, Caroline does her best to stay away and let her babies work it out themselves. Meanwhile, Teresa and Danielle's daughters are both invited to model in the upcoming NYC Fashion Week, and in an effort to move forward and focus on the positive, Danielle extends an olive branch to her former friends to celebrate Christine's success.

The Jersey drama continues when Danielle accuses Jacqueline of not being her own woman. Dina is tired of all the negativity, so she makes a date with a Zen Expert to purge Danielle from her life. Meanwhile, a very pregnant Teresa and a very determined Danielle see their daughters modeling in Fashion Week. Both Moms could not be more proud, but when mishaps unfold on the runway, the futures of their daughters' fashion careers are both put into question.

The big day has finally arrived for Teresa and Joe as they welcome their fourth bambino into the world. Meanwhile, Chris Manzo scores big when he gets an inside look into his dream business, and Jacqueline gets an inside look into her husband's secret safe. As the Brownstone prepares for a big night, Danielle gets an invitation she can't refuse, but makes sure to get "back-up" from an old friend before she RSVPs.

Baby Audriana is home from the hospital and although Teresa and Joe couldn't be happier with their fourth princess, Teresa pleads with Joe to get "snipped." After all – "happy wife, happy life." Meanwhile, Jacqueline and Ashley are still struggling to get along, but in true Manzo form, Caroline's kids reach out and try to bridge the gap. After a heartfelt invitation to a charity event at the Brownstone, Danielle calls in some favors as she prepares to walk into the lion's den one more time. But the road of good intentions gets bumpy for Danielle when she and her protective entourage perceive that the Brownstone has set up a "big surprise".

After the outburst at the Brownstone, another battle breaks out, but this time via Facebook, when Danielle accuses Jacqueline's teenage daughter of threatening her life. Wanting to put an end to the drama, Jacqueline and Teresa confront Ashley about the alleged attacks. Surrounded by all of this negative energy, Dina decides to follow her energist's advice and sets up a face-to-face meeting with Danielle to officially cut her out of her life. Despite Caroline's advice, Dina meets with Danielle one-on-one but the negative energies ignite into yet another confrontation.

Danielle, feeling empowered after standing up to the Manzo clan, decides it time to live again. With the help of her "loyal friends" (and a few moves from her professional past), Danielle brings sexy back. Meanwhile, Jacqueline hosts a poker night with the guys and finds out even more scandalous details from Danielle's ex, Steve. Dina can't deal with the constant fighting, and makes a big decision that changes everything.

Teresa rolls out the red carpet for her housewarming party as Danielle pursues reconstructive plastic surgery to fix a huge mistake. Caroline's daughter, Lauren, hits her stride as a make-up artist, while golden boy Albie gets hit with a big rejection and has a hard time bouncing back. Jacqueline and Teresa's post-baby-weight shopping trip turns controversial when Teresa questions a new friend's loyalty.

Teresa and Jacqueline get an invitation they just can't refuse but worlds collide and tempers flare as they are face to face with Danielle for the first time.

The brawl between Teresa, Jacqueline and Danielle takes an ugly turn and the police are called in to put an end to the hair-raising feud.

The law does not seem to be on anyone's side on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, as Danielle, reeling from the hair-pull heard 'round the world, seeks her day in court and Jacqueline struggles to get Ashley to face the seriousness of her actions. Meanwhile, Albie grows anxious about his career as a lawyer.

Teresa and Joe celebrate their 10 year anniversary in true Giudice style. Trying to stay out of the drama, juicy Joe has his own issues to deal with when his new business gets some help from some very hands-on customers and his little princesses learn a tough lesson in the process. Meanwhile, Ashley continues her mission to prove Danielle is not the changed person she claims to be. And while Danielle is trying to focus on the positive by planning her daughter Christine's sweet 16, she gets sidetracked when a friend, who knows a thing or two about fighting, decides to give her some self-defense lessons.

Teresa and Joe spare no expense for baby Audriana's fabulicious christening, but not long after the guests have gone and the ice sculptures start to melt - Joe and Teresa find themselves in some serious trouble. Danielle continues her journey to seek "love and light" by finally making peace with her ex - and while doing so, she makes some progress on a "book" of her own. In an effort to escape the unrelenting drama, Caroline, Teresa, and Jacqueline book a trip to the Motherland.

A very public DUI has all the tongues in town wagging. In an effort to escape all the drama, Teresa, Caroline, Jacqueline and their families embark on a cruise to Italy and a whirlwind tour through the homeland. Unfortunately their efforts to escape the insanity backfire, as they find out that traveling with three generations of families is anything but relaxing.

The Italy extravaganza continues as Teresa and Joe give everyone an all-out tour of their hometown, complete with hordes of relatives and a family dinner like only the Giudice's can create. Not to be outdone, Danielle meets with a private investigator in an effort to reconnect with her own family roots, and finds that sometimes blood is not thicker than water.

The ladies are back on Jersey's shores and are determined to put Danielle out of their lives for good. An emotional dinner at Teresa's leads to a commitment from Caroline and an invitation Danielle cannot turn down. The showdown that everyone was waiting for finally takes place - Caroline and Danielle face off, but this time there are no books, no family, no distractions and nowhere to run.

Part 1 of a two-part reunion edition features reassembled Jersey girls Teresa, Caroline, Jacqueline and Danielle dissing and dishing about Season 2's panorama of mama dramas.
