An introduction to Jax's new girlfriend before a recap of the final big bear episode that wraps up with a surprise baby shower and fantasy cosplay dinner. We learn that Danny can catch a fish and is a real person with flaws but, more importantly, is quick to apologize for them. The spirit of Harry Styles serves as Jesse's wingman, Britney reaches a new milestone about her marriage, and Janet tries to stay positive about giving birth after hearing stories from the moms. The episode includes a quick proof of life check-in on Kristin and Luke and a sobering reminder of why no-fault divorce is important to fight for.  Wanna support the pod?

Bravo News and Recap: The Valley - Episode 11 "Darkside Danny"

We kick off a new season of New Jersey with an explanation of conflicts from last season's reunion, past and present social media drama, and accusations from ex-wives. To watch Jersey is to become an expert at navigating a volatile quagmire of emotions that remains consistent even as children head off to college and Nonna's bring focaccia. The episode centers around different groups, that now won't interact, as they come together for the first time at a birthday party for the neutral friend to all involved that is Jen Fessler.

Recap: RHONJ Season 14 Episode 1

The Big Bear babymoon trip continues with underwhelming confrontations, women reaching their boiling points, husbands lamenting relationship issues while seeming obtuse about their own shortcomings, and petty social media moves from the uninvited. Highlights include: Brittany finally snapping and unleashing pent up rage upon Jax after he relentlessly accused her of being intoxicated vs nauseated, Jason and Janet dubbing this trip a "babymoon from hell", and the menfolk misusing the term "Napoleon complex". Also discussed is the 2023 movie Napoleon and the 1990's drug Trimspa that Jesse once modeled for with Anna Nicole Smith.  Wanna support the pod?
