The Real Housewives of NJ - Photo Recap: Greg is Mary Tyler Moore

Episode 11 of Season 5 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey showed somewhat of a make-up between Jacqueline and Teresa. Of course, this is Housewives World, so a "make-up" has to kick off with the infamous, "Let's just be cordial. I like your kids." Meanwhile, Greg, who's been conspicuously absent this season, has decided to take a job in California. We're not fooled. Greg, it's not easy to suck down Kathy's Red Velvet Cosmo, while blaring Melissa's "Rockstar," and pretending to work for blk. Not to be upstaged, Jacqueline also decided to venture out west, if only to lob off her stomach and neck. That's right, folks. Jacqueline had made the decision, seemingly spontaneously, to get some plastic surgery. Something about her belly button? In any case, I have a newfound fondness for Jacqueline following Episode 11. Is there anything worse than Zumba in public? Here is my Photo Recap and Review of Season 5 Episode 11 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey!

What's a sociopath? The question would arise several times this week. This strange term sounded much like "psychopath" and "psycho bitch," so it couldn't be good, correct? Even Siri would inevitably be stumped, but now, I'm getting ahead of myself.

In the end, Jacqueline and Teresa agreed to keep things cordial. Meaning, no one really wanted to budge on the emotional front, but they realized the feud had come to a ridiculous place of nonsensical badgering.

Next thing you know, Teresa is busy with this:

I like how all of Gia's friends donned matching pink Dylan's Candy Bar hoodies. Seriously, do you think Gia got paid for that? Is 12-year-old Gia landing endorsement deals? Where is my twenty-something life heading?

In other news, why isn't this my house? Find Milania.

Bravo "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"

Yes, that's really where Milania is. Bye, chandelier!

In other news, Jacqueline off-the-cuff announced that she decided to get a tummy-tuck and neck lift to Kathy while shopping for Zumba threads.

Bravo "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"

Honestly, I'm not sure if she realized that her plot was getting a little dry or if she truly had been thinking for a good long while about doing this. In any case, Kathy was all...

… right along with us.

Meanwhile, Zio Joe and Gia spent the day together! There's nothing quite like whooping your goddaughter in go-kart racing to rekindle the bond, right?

We see something on your head, Zio Joe.

I did appreciate how Gia made sure to clue Joe in on the fact that this show is a popular television program, and that viewers actually do watch these folks act a-fool. Maybe it's not such a good thing if your niece's peers think of you as a maniac? Whatever, you won at go-karts, Joe. Call it a win.

By the way, who's Kathy? That seemed to be the general consensus among the Giudice kids. Mere moments later...

Kathy arrives for Zumba charity work. I bet the Giudice clan never forgot this face:

When will Rosie earn the right to appear mainly as "Rosie" as opposed to "Rosie: Kathy's Sister"? It's time. Is Rosie even getting paid for providing a little sunshine to a Season 5 that otherwise would have been the reality TV equivalent of an Alaskan winter?

Bravo "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"

(Way better than Shoprite cookies.)

Also, do you think Teresa was tipped off to the fact that most people entering Giudice Manor were uncomfortable due to the constant nervous references to Gia's height? Gia's tall, everyone. Gia is so tall.

The ride to Zumbapalooza could have been awkward, but Melissa had a great sense of humor about the stripping rumors that were quite hilariously drudged up by Juicy Joe.

Milania, on the other hand, took the joke to the next level.

Bravo "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"

Thus, ice… broken. Ice… gone. The show totally hyped this scene via trailers as an awful and embarrassing moment for Melissa, right? We were played, everybody! There is no Melissa/ Milania feud!

Jacqueline, I love you for hating Zumba in public. Forget Zumba in public… this is Zumba on national television!

Just two Joes bonding over Zumba. Who knew, right?

And there's nothing quite like bonding over a humiliating exercise dance to help put the past behind us sociopaths and evildoers.

What is "evil" after experiencing a recorded Zumba session? Andy Cohen has that forever.

Greg Bennett, what the the hell? You show up for a mere moment during Season 5 only to fly away forever to a land known as San Francisco? A job, a "brass ring," awaited Bennett. In other words, Greg doesn't like being force-fed Fabellini, so he's out for good.

"Take care of each other… TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER!"

Bravo "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"

We recall the wise words of Caroline Manzo, who appeared for a blink-and-you-missed-it moment during Episode 11, if only to cry her eyes out for the loss of Greg.

And to bulge her eyes out for the loss of Jacqueline's stomach:

And just like that, one last magical cheers of cabernet from Bennett literally served as a transition to California.

Look who's back:

Ashley took the season prior off to prep for this one week, you know. She had to come off as sophisticated and "adult." I'm just saying, it's easy to appear mature for five minutes of screen time.

That being said, I'm Team Ashley when it comes to the creepy surgeon commenting on how the twenty-two-year-old is "hot and she knows it" while he hacked off her mother's… Well, what is this? Flesh? Upside down pizza?

Bravo "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"

I look like a turtle slash Q-tip.

Bravo "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"

Me too, Jacqueline. Me, too...
