Chapter Nine: Surprise! It's a Snooki

The during a roommates-only dinner, going full FBI-style boards he created to track Angelina and Chris's marital troubles. Mike presents the board to Angelina.

Surprisingly, Angelina enjoyed the boards and did not flip out as the roommates expected. The presentation ended with a prank, as Mike supposedly unveiled Angelina's side piece from Old Bridge, but it turned out to be Vinny under a hood.

The moral of the story, Mike insisted, was that Angelina shouldn't put her dirty laundry on social media.

While that was going on, the significant others had their dinner, where Chris opened up about his troubles with Angelina.

According to Chris, he would prefer if Angelina never came back to Jersey Shore for Family Vacation, as he feels their life together would have progressed further and more smoothly without the fame and attention.

Later, Chris spent an entire segment loudly arguing with Angelina over his need to poop in the bathroom while trying to do her makeup.

Vinny practices his stand-up comedy routine for the Guido Talent Show.

The next day, Deena and Nicole are plotting the surprise and attempting to execute the cake maneuver throughout the episode.

After that, Snooki arrived, and Deena broke the fourth wall by making a sound technician wheel the giant cake containing Jenni's surprise to a birthday breakfast.

Snooki popped out of the cake.

After breakfast, Cinta ends up leaving the family vacation early as her grandmother is sick, but not before Vinny says that they should think about what they want out of their arrangement.

Cinta agreed to let Vinny know once she returns home and has time to think about it.

Vinny kisses her goodbye.

Cinta had been busy taking care of her grandparents while the roommates, especially Vinny, kept checking in on her.

Cinta felt drained. She wanted just to lay down and never move again.

And it did not help that she was fighting with her mother and her boyfriend, who felt that Cinta wasn't a proper daughter to her mother as she refused to let her mother near her grandparents per their request, but Cinta's mother blamed her for turning them against her.

Cinta could not believe that her mother thought that Cinta had the power to make a grown woman's parents want nothing to do with her.

Then things got physical when her mother sent her boyfriend's daughter to fight Cinta. And it happened to be the worst day as Tommie was here, visiting Cinta, so the girl got a beating that she was not expecting to get from Tommie.

"Girl, I don't know why you always tried to please that woman. How can a mother send a grown woman to come and fight her daughter," Tommie said.

Cinta felt like crying. She didn't think that her relationship with her mother could get this bad, and it did.

"I feel so drained, Tommie. I tried everything with this woman, and she's constantly belittling me and throwing everything I've done in my face," Cinta said as she got teary-eyed.

"Nah, girl, do not cry over her. She's the one who is missing out on a wonderful daughter that her parents had to raise. You did everything you could, Cinta; not everyone is meant to be a fucking parent. You just have to accept that your mother is one of those people who couldn't be a good parent," Tommie said.

Cinta knew that Tommie was speaking from firsthand experience.

"You're right; I'm done trying," Cinta said.

Dolores and Sammi walked into the kitchen, and once Dolores noticed Cinta's tears, she was in momma bear mode.

"What happened? Who do I have to kill? Why are you crying?" Dolores asked as she pulled Cinta into a hug.

Cinta just starts full-on crying.

"Her mom sent someone over here to fight her, but I handled it," Tommie answered.

"No," Sammi said.

Dolores was shocked.

"Is Barbarella crazy? What would possess her to do such a thing?" Dolores asked as she was getting upset with her friend Barbarella's behavior towards her own daughter.

"Nonna and Nonno do not want to see her, and she's blaming me," Cinta explained.

Dolores sighed. She knew why Barbarella's parents did not want to see Barbarella, but for her to blame her daughter after everything Barbarella has done to make her parents not want her around is wrong.

"Barbarella and I will talk, and I will get to the bottom of this. I have given her too many chances to get things right with you, but she's a mess, and that's not fair to you," Dolores said.

"Talk to Barbarella all you want, but I'm done with that woman," Cinta said.
