Mob Wives

After a Super Bowl hiatus, last night's Mob Wives was one for the history books.  The only fighting that occurred happened between some drunken old men at Big Ang's bar, although Renee Graziano wasn't making and friends in her therapy sessions.  Carla Facciolo takes Joe's divorce news in a much more civil manner than one would have expected, Karen Gravano gets into the music biz, and Love Majewski has a cameo.  The biggest news?  Drita D'Avanzo and Ramona Rizzo call a truce for the sake of their daughters.  No lady brawls?  That has to be a first!

Ramona is planning a special joint birthday for two of her daughters who were born a year and four days apart.  She's meeting Ang and Karen for a shopping spree, and she's filling them in on the details of the bash.  Her only issue is that one of her girls wants to invite her nemesis Drita's daughter.  I'm glad that the girls can get along even if their mothers can't.  Ramona wants to get her friends' advice, but she plans on inviting Drita to attend the party as well.  Ang can't believe how mature Ramona is being, but Karen thinks she's just asking for trouble. 

Renee is still in rehab, and I'm curious as to why all of these people agreed to have their group sessions filmed for the sake of Renee.  She commandeers the therapy session talking about her anger issues and her inability to forgive.  When another member starts talking about how high school her mentality is, Renee starts going off on the woman for talking behind her back earlier.  At one point during her interview, she yells, "Doesn't this woman know who I am?"  Yeah.  I'd say this is going to be a really long road to self awareness.  The therapist calls Renee's behavior irrational, but a smug Renee doesn't want to hear it.

It was a big night for Drita D'avanzo as she finally took her kids to see Lee in prison.  Karen Gravano wanted to wring Dave's neck Ramona Rizzo's insistence, and Renee Graziano checked into rehab for her addiction to prescription meds.  As for Carla Facciolo and Big Ang, they were more background players…and while I love some Ang, it was nice not to see all of Carla's manufactured drama.

Last night's episode of Mob Wives started with Big Ang and Carla going to get manicures.  Ang looks like a poodle with her crimped hair.  Drita joins them and quickly questions as to whether Ang got a perm.  Thankfully, it's a wig.  Carla shares that Renee has moved in down the street from one of her best friends, and Ang reveals to the ladies that Renee is checking herself into rehab.  Ang hopes that the women will all be supportive of Renee, but Carla can't help making fun of her.  I am not enjoying this "trying to remain relevant" Carla. 

Carla's husband Joe is meeting with an attorney to get some things finalized so that he can move in with his girlfriend Raquel.  Joe tells him about his time in jail, and he explains that he and Carla can get along fine…that is, until she finds out he's meeting with this lawyer to start the divorce proceedings.  I don't see this going well for poor Joe at all!

I am really enjoying this season of Mob Wives so far.  I like the calmer Drita D'Avanzo, the empowered Renee Graziano, the softer side of Karen Gravano, and who doesn't love Big Ang?  Love Majewski has some excellent one liners, and Ramona Rizzo doesn't seem as hateful as usual.  Now, if we could just do something about Carla Facciolo. 

Last night began as Renee received a threatening letter from her ex warning her not to turn AJ against him or speak ill of him to their son.  Understandably freaked out, she goes to see Ramona at the hair salon.  Ramona can't get over the content of the letter, and is appalled that he was even able to get a stamp in jail to send it in the first place.  He even writes "this is importanat to your future."  Yeah, I'd say that is pretty threatening!

Love's mother reveals that Love was so horrible as a teenager that she called her "Satan's spawn."  Love has had a string of mobster boyfriends, and she has broken so many noses that she had to stop counting.  Karen arrives to remenisce with the mother-daughter duo, and Love reveals that she''d love to settle down and start a family, but how do you tell your husband that you've shot and stabbed your exes?  That's a tough call. 

Carla and Ang meet up, and Carla shares that Joe is moving in with his girlfriend.  Carla isn't too keen on the idea of having Raquel in such a motherly role with the twin.  Big Ang is a tad peeved that Carla ditched her Botox party.  Carla didn't want it to be uncomfortable since no one really likes her at the moment…she's got that, right, doesn't she?  Ang informs Carla that none of the women have a problem with her, and she wishes that Carla would be more supportive of Renee's efforts to get clean.  Carla believes that Renee is totally unstable thanks so all of her pill popping, and she's done with Renee.
