We start with Drita who is getting a pedicure with her girl friend. Drita talks about her life with husband Lee. She sounds angry saying when they were married he got busted, they lost everything and she had to sell their damn house. She explained she felt like a gypsy. ((Que Cher’s song “Gypsy’s, Tramps and Thieves)). Then on a switch she jokes about how her nail polish should be called “Bail Money”. She also wants Lee to tell their daughter that he will be gone longer than he first expected.
Karen has decided to write a book about her life and the mafia. She discusses the rise and falls of her father with her writing coach and even says her own drug dealing ways are the mobs fault because they turned their back on her after her father turned informant and was put away. Writing coach tells Karen to keep a journal and to go back and revisit the places she used to hang out.
Renee is going shopping for a fur. She received her first fur coat when she was 7. Having a fur means you’ve made it in life! ((Guess that makes her one special 7-year old)). Photos of Renee back in the day showed her to be an attractive woman. Reminded me of Julianna Margulies. Now she just looks like some old broad who gets the blackest boxed hair color she can find.
Renee has been concerned over her 16-year old son, A.J.’s drop in grades and how her ex-husband, Junior, rarely keeps his promises to see their son. She wants A.J. to open up and express himself. He isn’t having it. He is taking a page out of Kelly Bensimon’s book – feelings are SO 1970.
Drita and her young daughter, Alleya decide to make a scrap book for Lee. Alleya wants to know when daddio is coming home. She doesn’t visit dear old dad in prison because at least mom has the sense not to take her there. Drita tells her to write a letter to her dad. While composing the letter, she starts to cry. Then Drita started to cry. It was an all out cry fest. ((What would Kelly Bensimon say??)).
Junior’s girl friend calls Renee to tell her that the Feds made a huge mob bust. And oh by the way, Junior was arrested! Renee starts screaming for A.J. to find the channel on the television that has the news. The news claims that the Feds made the biggest mob bust in history. 127 people arrested on 16 different indictments.
Renee is FRAREECKING out! Who should she call?? What was he arrested for? Where did they take him? Girl friend doesn’t know shit. A.J. is just sitting there. Renee asks him what she should do. A.J. looks like he wants to punch his hysterical mother. How should he know for crissake he is only 16 years old!! Renee decides to call Carla for some moral support. Carla is at the gym working on her guns ((not her killing guns, her muscle guns)). She can’t be bothered with this ish right now. She will come over when she is done with her workout. And after her shower. And lunch. And nap.
Until Carla comes, Renee smokes 8 more cigarettes then sets her hysterics back onto her son. She is screaming and crying. He is over it and doesn’t want to deal with it. He starts to walk upstairs when Renee starts crying even harder “Don’t go upstairs. Please. I won’t cry anymore!!!!!” Nope, he goes upstairs.
Drita also tunes into the television watching the news with her 6-year old daughter. ((Because that’s appropriate)). She hasn’t spoken to Renee since the argument at the birthday party but she decides to call her anyways to see how she is doing. FINALLY! Someone other than a teenager to talk to. Drita tells her she has to wait for her mom or someone to come and watch Alleya and then she will come over.
Meanwhile, Carla decides to go to Drita’s house, not directly to Renee’s. They sit and talk about how effed up it is that no one cares about these men that get arrested. After all, they have wives and children. Why don’t people care about that??? Who cares if they off people and take their money?? They have wives and children!!
Getting pissed off that no one is coming to help her; Renee had just opened her 100th pack of cigarettes when the doorbell rings. She opens it to find Karen there. Karen, her arch enemy. Karen tells Renee she heard about the arrests and she understands this is a very difficult time and no matter what happened between the two of them, no one understands this life if they aren’t involved. She is concerned for Renee and her son. ((No one cares about the wives or the children)). Renee invites her in and they (at least for now) love one another again.
Drita and Carla have been doing Lord knows what, but instead of going to Renee’s house, they decide to call her. Renee is mad that they haven’t come yet and gives them a big Eff You! She doesn’t need them, she has Karen.
When Karen gets home she decides to call her brother and tell him about the book she is writing to tell the world about their family secrets.
Renee goes to see her shrink.
Carla and Drita are doing who knows what.
The disappointment was due to the previews making it seem as if the viewers would have seen the actual busts that happened, not just a few seconds of the news clips.
Next week we see Renee getting into it with some random dude and she wants to know if this random dude knows who she is. Then she decides to call Junior (who must have gotten released on bail) to come and scare the crap out this guy.
