The Manzo-Scalia trip to Italy was intended to be full of family bonding, but instead it has the group buckling under pressure. While Caroline steals Chris away for an important heart-to-heart, Albert Sr. continues to deal with surrendering his role as Lauren's "Number One Man." Later, Vito's mother and Caroline upset Lauren so deeply that the bride-to-be storms away from them. Caroline offers up some personal information in an attempt to comfort her daughter, but it may not be enough to help Lauren reclaim her cool.

After a chaotic year of wedding planning, Caroline is finally relishing the fact that all three of her children are on the track towards success...or so she thought. Although Christopher's career as an author has hit new heights and Lauren's wedding is days away, Caroline's state of bliss disappears suddenly when all attention turns to Albie. With both his professional and personal life in turmoil, Albie looks to a lawyer and a life coach to help get him out of trouble. And later, tension boils over when a very heated Caroline goes head to head against both Chris and Greg Bennett in Albie's defense.
