Big Ang

On last night's Mob Wives, Carla Facciolo returns, and she isn't afraid of Love Majewski no matter how much Big Ang and Drita D'avanzo try to warn her of Love's violent ways.  Renee Graziano starts a new business venture, and Ramona Rizzo and Karen Gravano are still bickering like sisters.  At least everyone is keeping their hands to themselves…so far!

Love has an appointment with her neurologist.  She was involved in a horrible car accident a few years ago, and she still suffers from pain as a result.  Her doctor questions her headaches, temper, and memory loss, and Love is worried that she's getting worse.  In fact, just the other day, she got into a fight with some girls in the bathroom at a club, and she has no recollection of shoving one of the women's faces in the toilet.  No way.  The neurologist believes she's suffering from post traumatic stress disorder after cracking her skull in the accident, and he urges her not to get in situations where her temper could be exacerbated and she could lose consciousness in a fit of rage. 

Karen and Ramona are preparing to go back to Staten Island, and Karen is thankful that she was able to work things out with Dave and meet his girlfriend.  She feels they made a lot of progress, and that will only be a positive step for Karina.  Dave drops by to say good-bye, and he's pleased that the pair have opened up their lines of communication.  Now Karen can focus on reopening her father's case.

I'm starting to wonder if a storm is brewing with the ladies of Mob Wives.  So far, everyone has been very civil.  Renee Graziano and Drita D'avanzo decided to take out their stress through good ol' fashioned physical exercise, while Big Ang gets enough of a work out holding up her giant jugs.   Ramona Rizzo and Karen Gravano were actually cordial to Dave's new girlfriend.  Of course, Love Majewski still wants to beat Carla Facciolo's behind, but the pair has yet to meet.  Where was Carla last night, anyway?

Last night begins as Ramona and Karen are heading to Karen's brother's storage facility to see if there is any evidence which would allow Karen's father's case to be reopened.  There are boxes of trial transcripts and taped conversations.  This is not going to be an easy task. 

Renee shares with son A.J. that she's going to get an attack dog.  He wants to slap her when he hears the pooch could cost upwards of twenty thousand dollars.  A.J. thinks that his mom's paranoia are humorous.  He wants his mom to lighten up and relax.  She's hoping that they can do some mother-son bonding in a Krav Maga class.  Not only will it allow the pair to spend time together, it will be another outlet for Renee's aggression.  Yeah, that's not going to happen.  A.J. tells his mother he isn't going along for the ride as she channels her inner Jackie Chan.  Renee then practices some of her wrestling techniques on A.J. in a cute family moment. He really seems like a good kid.

When it comes to the ladies of Mob Wives, they are certainly getting tamer as the weeks go by.  Sure, Love Majewski talks a good game, but have we really seen her stab anyone?  Nope.  With Drita D'avanzo, Ramona Rizzo, and Karen Gravano being all buddy/buddy, there isn't much drama.  Carla Facciolo is still on Renee Graziano's list, but she's getting better at removing herself from toxic situations.  At least Big Ang is always consistent!

Love was in the air on last night's Mob Wives, and I don't mean Love Majewski!  Drita D'avanzo was thrilled to have her husband out of jail, and Karen Gravano tested the waters on a date with Storm.  The biggest announcement came in the form of Ramona Rizzo's engagement!  Big Ang was once again the voice of reason, and there was still no love lost between Renee Grazziano and Carla Facciolo!

Renee and Drita are meeting for lunch, and Renee is overjoyed to hear how happy her friend is now that Lee has been released to the halfway house.  Drita admits that she and her husband are a lot like teenagers in love.  She's willing to forgive Lee for his affair in an attempt to work on their relationship.  Has Renee had more surgery since the last episode?  Her right eyebrow is raised in a constant state of speculation.  It's a tad creepy and distractions.  Renee reveals that she shared her struggles with addiction with her father.  She still craves a cocktail and some pills, but she's coming to terms with the fact that her recovery will be a day-by-day process.

Carla stops by the Drunken Monkey to tell Big Ang about her successful meeting with Raquel and Joe.  Ang wants to have a holiday party for all the girls, and Carla is wary of the guest list, given that she's only getting along with Ang and Drita.  Carla will attend to support Ang, but it's going to be uncomfortable.  She is willing to be cordial, but she knows the other women aren't going to speak to her.  Ang is sad that her friend is on the outs with all of her other friends.  Carla can't understand why Love has such a problem with her, especially given the fact that the two have never met.  Additionally, Carla hopes that Renee will civil with her given their recent butter knife altercation.  Ang explains that Renee is a different person since going to rehab, and she's more about being happy than creating drama.  Carla hopes that Ang is right about Renee, and she hopes all of the other ladies follow suit.  Good luck with that!

I'll be honest, it's still a little weird for me to see the majority of the ladies on Mob Wives actually being nice to one another.  It's almost got me wondering when the other shoe is going to drop!  Case in point?  Drita D'avanzo and Karen Gravano not only went out for drinks, but they shared a spa day instead of a smackdown!  Big Ang is typically drama-free, but Ramona Rizzo showed her softer side, and Renee Graziano is working on a more positive life.  Carla Facciolo did get a bit confrontational with her ex while meeting his new girlfriend, and Love Majewski talked a lot about stabbing people, so I guess some old habits do die hard.  

Last night's episode begins as a shocked Drita is telling Big Ang and Carla that Lee is now out of jail.  She is giddy like a school girl talking about what she fed Lee when she first saw him.  Gag.  Drita wants advice from Carla and Ang about what she should do when Lee is finished with the halfway house.

Karen, Love, and Ramona are hitting up a charity art event, and Ramona shares with Karen that Lee is free.  Karen wishes him the best and is glad that his girls will have their father back, but as far as she's concerned, she wants nothing to do with him.  She's finally at a good place with Drita, and the women wonder if Drita will take him back after his stint in the halfway house.

Renee has returned from rehab, and she's excited to talk to Drita and learn that Lee is home.  She wants to get all of the ladies together to celebrate her new lease on life.

Last night's episode of Mob Wives was very difficult to watch.  I recapped with a lump in my throat, but it was amazing to see the people of Staten Island come together and help one another.  Instead of brawling and screaming, Karen Gravano, Ramona Rizzo, Big Ang, and Drita D'avanzo collected donations and cooked meals for shelters.  Renee Graziano completed rehab and had a break through moment with son AJ.  It was the "realest" reality I've seen from a VH1 show ever. 

The footage of the wreckage after Sandy is devastating, and the women are reacting to the carnage.  The community is pulling together to help their neighbors.  A tearful Drita is talking to her daughters while collecting items to donate.  It is heartbreaking to see actual reality happening on reality television.  Ramona and Karen are going to help their friend whose home was damaged.  Ramona realizes how fortunate she is that her house escaped any damage.

Carla goes to check on Ang who is cooking up a storm for Sandy victims.  Both Carla and Ang can't believe the destruction that Sandy brought to Staten Island.  Both of their homes are okay, but they share stories of friends and relatives who lost everything.  Ang reveals that she lost her new salon in the storm, but she doesn't care after seeing how lucky she was compared to others.  She's heading up a donation drop-off at the Drunken Monkey.  Ang explains that there are so many people willing to help that she had to find a school bus to house all of the items.
