Synopsis: Rodger and Jwoww get over their problems rather quickly at the beginning of the episode. Jwoww has issues trusting Rodger and makes everything about her. Jwoww sees the error in her ways. Meatballs see the error in their way of dodging work the previous day and make a cake for Danny in apology. The next morning, a chunk of the cake is gone; and Mike is considered the top suspect since he was up the latest. Frustrated at having her tenth UTI in the past year, Snooki goes to the doctor. Snooki is not allowed to drink excessively. Mike goes to work by himself without Jwoww and Snooki. Danny is even angrier that Snooki ditches work again, although she was at the doctor at the time. They eventually show up, and Danny is like whatever. They are tasked to put heavy boxes in the shed. Mike is accused of eating the cake, and he denies it vehemently--considering he is on a diet. Mike is upset that he is accused without proof and is blamed for everything. Pauly D is revealed as the culprit. Meatballs apologize for the baseless accusation, but Mike is still upset about the situation (heh). Mike plans on bringing some friends over to visit. Group prepares to go to Karma. There, Mike meets up with Bobby, his friend. Snooki drinks anyway, against her doctor's advice. Mike meets Paula at Karma. The crew leaves Karma. Pauly says "YEAH BUDDY". Paula is Mike's main squeeze at this point, and Mike is seriously considering dating her. It is confirmed Mike and Paula have sex, and Sammi decides she likes Paula. Pauly and Vinny joke about being in a relationship. Vinny loses his keys, but finds them without consequence. Joey and Deena are going to meet at Janks. Sammi, Ronnie, Pauly, Deena, and Vinny go to Janks. Ronnie gets hammered, and Sammi is ok with it. Mike is obviously high out of his mind at the house, flirting with Snooki. Mike wants to have sex with Snooki, and she shuts him down. Joey is into Deena. The crew returns home. Pauly decides to mess with Deena before she has sex with Joey by putting food on her bed. Deena accuses Pauly of the prank, but Pauly convinces her it wasn't he who did it. Snooki messes with Joey as he sits on the couch. Snooki wants to watch them have sex. Afterwards, Deena's back hurts. Pauly and Vinny leave once again. Mike calls the Unit to assure he is coming out that night. They discuss the plan to reveal that Snooki cheated on Jionni. Jwoww wears a really revealing outfit for Karma that night, since Rodger is going with them. Rodger approves, but he seems slightly angsty. They go to Karma, and a random dude gets kicked out. Jwoww expresses displeasure at the crowd at Karma. A heckler tries to grab on Jwoww's dress, and Rodger tells him to leave. This aggravates the heckler, and he throws a punch at Rodger as the episode ends.
Highs: The cake drama. Mike high and flirting with Snooki. Sammi having more of a role for once.
Lows: Snooki going to the doctor. Vinny losing his keys in the protein shake store. Deena hook up scene. Deena's back problems, really anything involving Deena.
Views: Jersey Shore has begun to dry out lately. Instead of examining guido culture, hooking up with girls at the clubs, and getting into arguments amongst themselves and with strangers, the show has focused mostly on the inner dynamics of the crew. Several of the characters, namely Sammi, Jwoww, Mike, and Ronnie, have basically become background to the antics of mostly the meatballs, who's slapstick and feigned stupidity were a novelty when Deena first arrived but has now worn thin. This episode, however was refreshing as the meatballs took a backseat to the lives of Jwoww and Mike. The final scene of a fight between Rodger and the heckler will lead to revitalized interest in the next episode. Overall, an episode that reinvigorated the season.
Rating: 3.0 out of 5 stars.
