Episode 'Jersey Shore' Season 3, Episode 12 - 'A House Divided' Recap

Meanwhile, for comic relief, Deena found a box to play with. No, not like that. An actual cardboard box, you pervs. Also, Snooki likes to punt s***.

 

Vinny and Snooki seem to be getting along again. Vin says his relationship with Snooki is a rollercoaster ride, which is to say that there are lots of ups and downs, and there's a possibility that it might make him throw up.

 

Vin's getting his ears pierced, which according to Pauly means he's "becoming a man."

 

Danielle is back, and getting aggressive on Pauly D. Meanwhile, Sammi and Ronnie are having a nice time at home.

 

Pauly and Vinny are sidestepping grenades when an "atomic bomb" shows up. Pauly, not one for social graces, is literally climbing up on tables to get away. Can you blame him? Pauly's rudeness continues as he all but kicks his girl out. Vinny steps in on it and implies that Snooki is his last resort, which pisses her right off. Looks like those piercings really worked.

 

Vinny's using the "trap her against the wall" strategy, which seems to turn things around a bit. Determined to piss off everyone in the house, Vin then turns against Sammi.

 

RAP BATTLE!

 

Ronnie's mom calls, completely smashed, and somebody gets the great idea to put Mike on the phone with her. He tells her all about the situation with Sammi, which pisses Sammi right off. Lotta drama this episode.

 

Anybody ever notice the sneer that Sammi gets whenever this conversation comes up? She looks like she just smelled something bad.

 

The argument escalates, but doesn't really go anywhere…Mike says Sammi's shady, Sammi denies it, Sammi sneers. The episode ends with Mike calling Arvin and asking him if he and Sammi ever hooked up, and Arvin reveals that they made out from time to time. Get ready for a real atomic bomb to go off next week.

 

This week's take-home lessons: pierced ears will make you a man, and a cardboard box can make any situation better.
