On last night’s episode of Mob Wives, Renee and Carla made amends after a series of miscommunications left them at odds, Drita took more steps towards divorcing Lee and Ramona got arrested!
Every week I think I am going to be annoyed with Renee. Every single week. And then I love her more and more. I’m starting to feel like I might love Big Ang just as much. I guess I love an over the top broad or something. Too many years spent watching Dynasty reruns in my parent’s basement growing up, perhaps.
The episode begins with the ladies making the rounds to discuss the throwdown between Drita, Karen and Ramona at Renee‘s birthday party. Everyone is blaming everyone else, because really, who wants Renee to be pissed at them? Drita and Big Ang grab a cocktail and discuss Ramona’s bodyguard act. Was anyone else waiting for Whitney Houston to burst out singing “I Will Always Love You”?

Big Ang is surprised at the immaturity of this group (did she not watch last season?) and the petty fighting. She also thinks Karen should have told Ramona to back off. Making a good point, Big Ang brings up that long-time friends Renee and Carla need to make amends. She suggests getting together for happy hour in the city. Drita reluctantly agrees after comparing the prospect to swimming with sharks. A date is made to reunite the fallen besties.
Ramona is still highly incensed over Drita‘s uncontrollable behavior. Ramona isn’t sure if Drita is a farm animal or an animal circus, but whatever kind of animal she is, Ramona is not backing down from a fight. Ok, I have to admit I sort of like Ramona — her mouth just won’t stop, but it spouts off a lot of amusing crap!
Renee is also annoyed with the constant fighting and wants these ladies to know since they cross their legs, enough with the tough guy act. To beg forgiveness for ruining her party, Ramona shows up unannounced to Renee’s abode in the sky. Because she would rather get the gossip than be mad, Renee wants to hear things from Ramona’s perspective. Ramona thinks Drita should just accept that she and Karen were invited because they have known Renee forever and are practically family, and left the drama at home.
Ramona has only been back a few weeks, but all the sudden she is remembering why she left Septic Island — the constant drama and fighting. Ramona explains that people don’t act like this everywhere! Good to know she doesn’t like behaving this way. Drita is not going to use Karen as “human pinata” and warns Drita that if she insists on fighting she should order her tombstone up front.
Renee brings up why she didn’t invite Carla, whom she wants to befriend again. Ramona is not on board with Drita‘s little butt-buddy because she knows how Carla rolls. Renee issues the orders: someone must stop the fighting, because she is over it.
Meanwhile, Drita and her puppet, Carla, are meeting up to discuss drinks with Big Ang and Renee. Carla is also over the drama with Renee, which she deems “petty bullshit.” Carla informs us she is not a drama queen, but of course, she is willing to get into a sticky argument with Renee again if need be. Something tells me these two will be having sticky arguments forever. Drita really wants Renee and Carla to make up, but wonders if Big Ang knows what a get together entails with this group?
Renee decides she finally needs to figure out how to manage her anger responsibly so she lights up a cig and writes Carla a letter. Maybe all that therapy from last season actually helped her. In the midst of pouring her heart out, one of Renee’s friends calls and cannot believe she is willing to forgive Carla for being such a heartless bitch while she was in the hospital. All of the sudden the old Renee is back and fired up again!
While Renee is fuming, Big Ang is in her technicolor kitchen cooking off a hangover. Apparently, Big Ang and a friend went out and got pretty sauced up the night before after partying with a bunch of “wise guys.” Ang is much more competent than I am when I’m hung over. Big Ang explains the philosophy behind wise guys — they know how to treat a lady, will shower her with gifts and are very good looking. Ang is very excited about the prospect of dating another one very soon. *wink*
Big Ang tells her friend about her intent to get the girls to act like ladies and make up over drinks in the city. While she concedes that Carla should have called Renee after her surgery, she thinks Renee should get over it because she looks great now. In fact, Renee has inspired Big Ang to have another nip tuck of her own. Maybe a face lift… hopefully she’ll meet a wise guy willing to finance that! Big Ang lets us know she has had implants three times. We’ve noticed!
Proving that she is serious about divorcing Lee, Drita has decided to sell her house and her diamonds. A real estate agent comes over to assess the value of her home and gives Drita good news that it has a lot of features buyers would want. I’m guessing built with dirty money doesn’t matter in Staten Island? Drita reveals that she hasn’t told Lee about her intentions to sell the house and apparently Lee has a special room there that Drita has never opened the door to. A little scary…
Drita also hasn’t told her daughters that she has filed for divorce, but when she lets Aliyah know that she is planning to put the house on the market her daughter becomes very emotional. After learning her house is worth something, Drita decides to get her diamonds appraised. Some things she decides to keep, but not her engagement ring which she learns is worth over a $100k! Shizzah! Oh my gosh. At least her heart break was worth something!
In order to escape the drama, Karen and Ramona decide to go out for man hunting and drinks. Ramona hits up the hookah and reveals she never wanted a life as a mafia princess and left town to marry a rich Arab who gave her a fabulous life. After her husband decided to go into business with the mob, she divorced him. Now she is dating a quick sand man, whom she fell into immediately after meeting, and couldn’t be happier. BTW when Ramona was explaining how to to work the hookah to Karen, it sounded an awful lot like something you’d do during sexy times.
Finally, the night of cocktails has arrived. Renee put on her warpaint and brought her brass knuckle clutch just in case, and almost immediately after sitting down launches on Carla. This is the first time these two ladies have seen each other in several months and while Renee was in the hospital she made a hit list so to speak of all the people who did not visit, call or send gifts — Carla is ranking at #1 on that list!
While I was waiting for an over the table scuffle and a few drinks being thrown, the ladies crossed their legs and handled it with class and a calm discussion. Carla reveals no one even told her the severity of Renee’s situation and it hurt her feelings that she didn’t even receive a phone call from someone explaining how sick Renee was. She only learned what happened later from Drita. Renee seems shocked to learn this and decides 27-years of friendship is more important than fighting.
Renee informs Carla that she wrote her a letter, that she would like to give her privately and all is forgotten. It makes me happy. Long-time frienships should not end over reality TV. Proving that bad times are behind them, the ladies cheers, Renee lights a cigarette using Big Ang‘s ample assets as a wind barrier and the ladies laugh and have fun. Yay!
Renee is shopping with her friend, who also happens to be a stylist. Renee is ready to dress her new body in sexier duds because she has a new man in her life! Her ex-husband Junior, who has confessed to being in love with her. Oh no… Renee has been waiting for Junior for 12 years and now that he is headed back to jail in three months they are dating again to figure things out. Renee’s friend warns her against speeding into love and that both of them need to change if they want things to work. Including, Junior keeping it in his pants.
After buying some new sexy clothes, Renee and Junior go on a date because they are getting to know each other again. During the romantic dinner, these two rehash the past and why their previous marriage didn’t work out. BTW: How funny was the engagement ring story? Junior refuses to take accountability for his constant infidelity during their marriage and attempts to blame Renee for being controlling.
Finally, Junior admits he was in the wrong and mistreated Renee during their marriage, which makes Renee cry. After sobbing and arguing over oysters, these two exes decide to go steady again. So much for that changing out the break pads thing!
Renee and Carla get together for the reading of Renee’s letter. After a little discussion the ladies see eye to eye. Buoyant over her new-found problem solving skills, Renee decides all the other ladies need to make up and learn to get along since she is tired of the drama. Carla admits she doesn’t necessarily trust Ramona, particularly after hearing that Ramona has been talking about her all over town. Carla thinks Ramona is trouble… and frankly she is probably right!
Ramona is also apparently in trouble. Karen is pacing around her apartment worried because she has not heard from Karen all day. These two friends regularly text and call multiple times throughout the day. They must have a lot of time on their hands! Ramona finally calls and reveals she has just gotten out of jail! While she was driving around with her boyfriend they got swarmed by a bunch of undercover cops and arrested for what the hysterical Ramona doesn’t know. Big Trouble, Little Ramona, I suppose.
Next week: Junior moves back in but isn’t following Renee’s rules. We learn why Ramona was arrested. And Carla, Drita, Ramona, and Karen continue to be at odds.
THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE – ARE YOU HAPPY RENEE AND CARLA ARE FRIENDS AGAIN? WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON: DRITA’S OR KAREN AND RAMONA’S? DON’T YOU JUST LOVE BIG ANG?
I love Big Ang, she is the break out star of the show, she is hilarious. She also seems like an geniune person.
Great recap Mary and I agree I too love Renee and Big Ang, by the way I wanted to taste the hang over food lol!
Loves me some Big Ang ,my ANGEL
Great recap mary. Ramona is so phony tough. I mean, who does she think she is, Karen’s bodyguard?
And was it just me or did Drita look like the Terminator with that one red eye?
I love Big Ang…with that statement, Karen is fake and Ramona needs to mind her own business.
Big Ang deserves her own show, she came out of nowhere to win my heart. <3
Why was Drita telling Aliyah to ask her Dad for some money yet he is in jail?
I guess the Mob is still bankrolling her and answers the question why she stays with Lee.
I like Renee this season as well, but she is like a mood ring.
When she is happy (which she is right now with Jr.) then there is peace.
But when she is miserable like she was last season it was all waterworks and hell to be paid.
Angie and Linda were cute.
Ramona and Karen were so immature and
hateful.
Love Big Ang!!! What a fun lady and a great heart! Too bad nasty Karen and Ramona can’t be more like her!!
Go Big Ang!! Get your own show!!!
OMG, when Big Ang laughs she reminds me of Herman Munster! Love her!!!
9@jenandjd,
Lol!!!!!!
You could practically see the green fumes.
She did an interview and said her favorite wiseguy was John Gotti.
@9, I said the same thing to my friend as we watched….How funny….I
#9jenandjd, LMAO – you hit it right on the mark – Big Ang’s laugh was exactly like Herman Munster’s – and she kinda looks like him – that upper lip – Yikes. Yet, I luvz me sum Big Ang – she is a riot. However, I plead with her NOT to get anymore plastic surgery. She should sue the ones who blotched what’s she has done so far – and get some major re-constructive surgery. Regardless, her pleasant personality and big heart makes her beautiful in my eyes. Karma for Ramona…
I want to party with Big Ang!! She seems like she knows how to have a good time. Love Renee too with all her drama and crazy-times. Love how she says “Jooonya”.
My stock has gone down with Drita and Karen. Fighting over high school crap. I don’t care for either one of them and their respective consigliere Carla and underboss Ramona.
Gawd I love Mob Wives lol
Big Ang is my favorite. That voice and her laughter, just makes you want to smile. She is a friend I would want to have. So true, her heart and personality shines through and makes her a beutiful woman.
I have always like Renee. What an emotional trainwreck BUT genuine… No faking with Renee.
Still can’t stand Carla.
Ramona is a d**che bag and really needs to STFU! Her and K-Rat blow smoke up their own a**es. Her and K-Rat, the BIGGEST jerk-offs.
Big Ang is a great addition to the cast – what a character!! Would love to party with her but now sure how I’d handle a “wise guy”. Hope they show Ang a lot more as the story lines of the others is getting old – yous cuss and threaten to fight at any time – Karen and Drita need to get over the ready to fight at all times. Question is – can Jooonya stay true to Renee?? Love this show!!
Like everyone else I love ANG!~~ Ramona needs to go!!
JustMe1 @2,
She was making me hungry too! Bet she’s a great Italian cook.
I find myself tilting my head to the side when Big Ang comes on…haven’t quite figured her out. She’s free-spirited, just don’t know if she’s all that great…gonna keep watching though. Maybe she’ll grow on me.
Hamhocks Ramona confuses me…her Arab husband was wealthy beyond wealthy (Dubai is expensive) and yet he joined the mob? I think she’s full of shit.
Big Ang rocks! Karen instead of worrying about Drita…..Hop on a treadmill. Ya need it!
Big Ang rocks! Karen instead of worrying about Drita…..get on a treadmill. Ya need it!
@ragin’cajun –
Good catch on Drita asking her daughter if she asked Daddy for money. She has to be dumb as a door knob. Is she oblivious to how many Feds probably watch the show?
@19 rh205,
!
I’m willing to bet she is an awesome cook
@22l.kylie,
I try my best to stay away from making comments about anyone’s looks or weight, really try, this time I must admit that I was a little shocked looking at Karen last night from the side view in her apartment, she’s put on a couple of pounds since last season.
23@misscrop,
I was thinking that as well!
The ring scene was questionable but she is choosing to put it out.
In one scene she calls her husband addicted to bank robbing and in the
next scene she shows up
with a bag full of diamonds.
Knock-Knock
Who’s there?
The Feds!
I say let’s see less of that catfight drama, and a lot more of Big Ang!
For me, she’s a real breath of fresh air and fun for this show. Seriously.
Go, Ang!
Love Love Love Big Ang. She is Freakin Hysterical, and doesn’t even know it!
Love Renee too.
@27 Lena1,
She really stole the show didn’t she (Big Ang)?
You gotta love her, she just seems so genuine.
I really feel bad for Renee, knowing what’s coming her way.
@28 Hi JustMe1
Yes,she did. I just liked her right away. I get a kick out of her and Renee with their one liners.
I do feel bad for Renee knowing whats coming her way, she truely loves that scumbag rat face Junior!
@29 Lena1,
scumbag rat face indeed : ) !!
Hey Lena and Just me1!!! I missed that episode but I see everyone loves Big Ang! She seems really cool! I have to catch up! lol
@31 Hi ne ne!
I think she’s cool, and freakin hysterical. I like her alot.
LOVE Big Ang!!! Her heart and personality are as big as her boobs lol and like a few other people here I wanted to sit and eat hang over food with her and Linda. Her facial expression when Linda told her she had to go to the Ukraine to get her facelift and her child like responce of “I do” made me crack up. Really enjoy her.
I do not like Ramona as I think we had enough of that type of personality and person in Karen. They are my least favorite of the group.
9@jenandjd
LOL, my husband said the same thing when I showed him her talking head segments! She is hysterical. It does, however, seem she stirred the pot–telling Karen Drita wanted to make peace with her, and telling Drita Karen wanted to talk to her to make peace. I think her intentions were good, but….
VH1 needs a version of WWHL with Draya as the Host. That way, the viewers can get more info on the cast and their perspectives on the episodes.
Love Big Ang! She seems cool to hang around with. She obviously loves to cook and she should do a cookbook with some stories about her wise guy friends.
Agree with everyone about big Ang. She definetly grows on ya. Will always love Drita’s kick ass attitude. She is a strong woman who can take care of herself without Lee. I mean she’s been doing it all along since he’s been in jail. Carla’s ok, don’t mind her, she’s harmless. But OMG with Karen and her “cousin” Ramona. Ridiculous High School mean girl bitches who just like to run their mouth. Karen you ain’t tough, neither is your cuz. Agree with hop on a treadmill i
I really enjoy watching Big Ang. She is a hoot! =) Her laugh is so cute! She makes me laugh when I see her because she brings comedy to the show. She’s a positive force which is great, and I hope she continues to be on the show. I hope she shows a lot more of herself as the show unravels.
Love Drita & Renee as usual. They are true to who they are, and they are real. Especially Renee.
Now… Karen & Ramona are annoying as hell! Karen really needs to shut the hell up and quit complaining and worrying about Drita constantly. She needs to work out every now and then, and her tough act has got to go! I’ve had 3 close friends of mine who got with my ex’s, and I was livid as hell! I wanted to beat the shit out of one of my friends because we were best friends, but I just forgave her, and dropped her as a friend. I was so upset about it, but then I got over it. Karen needs to get over it. It’s hard when someone who you were close to do that shit to you, but Karen really needs to forgive and just move on already.
Ramona can suck it! She runs her mouth all the time. Damn, doesn’t she ever get tired of running her mouth? GUESS NOT.
#38Daisy, I bow to you because you are so on the mark! Your revelation about your friend/man situations hit me to the core. Same type of thing happened to me over 30 years ago. The guy I loved more than life (I was a just emerging out of my teenage years so it was completely real and mature) cheated on me with one of my childhood friends – she and I were like sisters.
He and I lived together with plans to marry. Yet upon finding this out, I completely ended the relationship even moving away. The sickening part was that it was a small town and it seems EVERYONE knew of this affair BUT me. Years later, I forgave her because he was my fiance and should have been loved me more than he lusted her. Why did I forgive her, she was always one to be insecure and (sadly) competing against me. Her life now is worth mentioning – affairs…several different baby daddies. Although, it’s been 20 years since I’ve seen her, I’ll always be ‘friendly’ to her.
@31 nene lawson,
Hey you, yes do catch up, it’s a really good episode!
@9jenandjd
reference to Big Ang as “Herman Munster” is funny as hell!! She’s (or is it he?) got Herman Munster’s size and laugh.
Ok, no one has mentioned the elephant in the room, I also love ‘Big Ang” but is she a transvestite? I have nothing against her but really no one has commented on this, I think she might take care of the “down low” men in the Mob….just sayin’
Renee is my favorite one.
Ramona talks a lot of caca but I want to see her one on one with Drita, btw, she wouldnt survive 2 seconds in the Bronx. Love Big Ang & please no more surgery on those lips girl! It was nice seeing Rene & Carla talking like regular human beings.
Big Ang rules!
Renee has serious issues but at least she’s trying to deal; Drita is trying to deal too. Carla is a cool customer and doesn’t talk b.s. Karen is extremely manipulative (season 1) and now is literally fighting for screen time! Ramona is a moron.
Hilarious how men have no problem holding these tough gals back.
Quit the hair pulling and square off gals!
When Drita was showing the house to the realtor, she said she hadn’t opened that bedroom for years. My son said Lee’s mistress’ body is in there!!!!! I laughed then thought you might be right!!!! Love Big Ang. “Was it nice?” Karen, I am glad you got some back up but don’t let her push you into places you don’t really want to go. It looked like you and Drita were working on things. LOUDLY but working on them. Then Ramona shows up with let me give you a mic so you can say what you been saying behind my back for the last year? She deserved to get hit. IMO. Hope Renee and Junior can make a go of it. Did my heart good when he said he loved her and was in love with her. Carla, nothing to see here. move it along. move it along.
I love Big Ang too. More Big Ang!
42MsKswiss Thank You Thank You Thank You. I don’t normally comment so I was waiting for someone to say it!! And 42 comments later there it was. I do believe she is a transvestite. Either that or shes the female version of Micheal Jackson lol
