In New Jersey, Melissa, Joe, and Kathy question Teresa’s loyalty and what’s real versus manufactured. The episode also features Chris planning a Napa trip, Teresa announcing her book is a New York Times bestseller, and Teresa resisting Joe Gorga’s therapy/mediation request, saying she doesn’t need it and won’t go against her husband. 00:00 Episode Setup 00:53 Chicago Wedding Morning 02:11 Teresa Magazine Drama 07:05 Misogyny and Blame 16:11 Confronting Teresa 20:01 Wedding Bus and Vibes 20:25 Shore House Party 25:11 Jamie Wedding Highlights 28:19 Therapy Text Talk 30:51 Lanterns and Wrap Up 31:56 Outro and Teaser Support the show [HTTP://www.buymeacoffee.com/obsessedbyeverythingbravo]
