Plot

After Mike's prank on Snooki backfires, the guys visit Vinny's family in Sicily and the girls class it up on a Tuscan wine tour. Snooki learns the truth from Vinny about their hook-up, and now she has to come clean to Jionni.

Last week, Snooki's troubles with Jionni continued; The Situation continued to flirt heavily (and creepily) with Snooki; and, finally, Snooki hooked up with Vinny (again). So it's pretty much business as usual -- just in another country.

This week, Snooki wakes up and realizes that she slept in Vinny's bed last night. "It was a rebound reaction," Snooki tells JWoww. The only problem, of course, is that Snooki and Jionni aren't technically broken up. JWoww, meanwhile, isn't her normally sympathetic (and enabling) self. Just the night before, she had defended Snooki when The Situation claimed that he had received sexual favors from Snooki. The Situation then gets an earful from Snooki, who continues to deny the story. "I'm so tired right now, you crazy whore," JWoww says -- but lovingly as the pair head out for mimosas.

Meanwhile, The Situation decides to call his friend The Unit (seriously) for a refresher on what happened that fateful night. Turns out that The Unit was having sex with Snooki's friend Ryder (seriously) while Snooki watched. According to The Situation, this excited Snooki to the point where she engaged in a certain sexual act with The Situation. "She went from 4-foot-9 to about 2-foot-9," The Situation tells the camera with a smirk.

Let's all pause to vomit.

The Situation then hatches a plan. He tells his roommates that he told The Unit to call Jionni and tell him the entire story. It's not true, though. The Situation is just playing more games. Later, Vinny calls his mom and announces that he is head to Sicily with the other guys. "We're going to see the town where my mother was born," the good son explains to the camera. Snooki and JWoww then return home and it is back to the drama. Sweetheart tells Snooki that the Situation told Sweetheart that he called The Unit and told him to call Jionni and tell him about the situation between Snooki and The Situation.

Whew. This somehow makes sense to Snooki, who attacks The Situation by throwing a champagne bottle at him. It EXPLODES. She then starts throwing food. "I hate you!" Snooki screams. "I hate you!" The Situation then admits that it was all a joke -- and kind of a test. The point: don't listen to the "peanut gallery" when you can just come and talk to the source. "I wanted to see who would rat who out," The Situation says. Turns out Sweetheart and Deena are the "rats." The Situation believes his point has been proven.

The next day, the boys and girls split up. The boys head to Sicily while the girls go to Tuscany. First, the boys. They show up at a modest ranch to meet the members of Vinny's extended family -- of which there appears to be dozens and dozens. They drink a bit and mostly laugh at old pictures of 13-year-old Vinny. Now, the ladies. They undergo a very classy wine tasting -- quickly ruined by Snooki's belches and insistence on talking about Jionni. "Honestly, I really think at this point that you have to move on," JWoww says. "If you loved him, you wouldn't have done that with Vinny." Ouch. Amazingly, Snooki claims she would never cheat on Jionni. "You did, though!" JWoww yells.

It's an excellent point, but Snooki doesn't have to hear the truth. She just wants to be comforted. So she storms out of the wine tasting. The drive home is very awkward. "I just want to punch somebody in the face," Snooki tells the camera. Meanwhile, the boys say goodbye to Vinny's family and even watch the sunset together. Much less drama.

Back at the apartment, Snooki and JWoww quickly make up with hugs and declarations of love. They just can't stay mad at each other. But we're willing to bet that Jionni will stay mad. Snooki gets proof when she calls home and her dad breaks some terrible news: "He changed his Facebook to single." Snooki's mouth drops OPEN. "OH MY GOD!" Snooki screams. "That means it's official!" So Snooki calls Jionni, who claims that Snooki broke up with HIM. We're so confused. Much crying and cursing follows ... until Snooki, after a swig of beer, says that she has to tell Jionni something -- something bad.

"After we got off the phone, I ended up in Vinny's bed," Snooki says. "We didn't have sex!" Doesn't matter, though. Snooki does admit to hooking up with Vinny -- and Jionni says "We're done" before hanging up the phone. Later, Snooki calls BACK and admits that she $%#@$# up. She sobs. "You're all I think about!" Snooki moans. "I'm sorry!" Amazingly, Jionni says that she'll give Snooki another chance! Unbelievable. This time, she SWEARS that she will not lie to Jionni again. Seconds later, Snooki asks Vinny if they had sex. Vinny doesn't believe for a second that Snooki doesn't remember. Of course, they DID have sex. Snooki claims to have "blacked out a little bit."

SOOOOOO, Snooki calls Jionni again. "Remember what I told you happened with Vinny?" Snooki asks. "Something more happened ... we had sex." To be continued.
