Teresa and Joe spare no expense for baby Audriana's fabulicious christening, but not long after the guests have gone and the ice sculptures start to melt - Joe and Teresa find themselves in some serious trouble. Danielle continues her journey to seek "love and light" by finally making peace with her ex - and while doing so, she makes some progress on a "book" of her own. In an effort to escape the unrelenting drama, Caroline, Teresa, and Jacqueline book a trip to the Motherland.

The Italy extravaganza continues as Teresa and Joe give everyone an all-out tour of their hometown, complete with hordes of relatives and a family dinner like only the Giudice's can create. Not to be outdone, Danielle meets with a private investigator in an effort to reconnect with her own family roots, and finds that sometimes blood is not thicker than water.
