'Jersey Shore' Season 4, Episode 2 Recap - 'Like More Than a Friend'

This week's episode picks up directly from where last week's left off: we're still at the club, and Deena and Pauly are making out and managing to expose their tongues to everyone. "Lets hook up and cuddle," Deena says. "Yeah, I know," Pauly says, which is a more appropriate response to something like "hey, that car is green" than "let's hook up and cuddle."

Drunk Ronnie's here, and he's calling his "friend" Hannah back home, who says she wants to come visit. Cut to Sammi, and cue the tuba. Also, we can add three more tumbles to the Deena Fall Count. That makes 6 so far this season, though I'm not sure if you can count some of those falls as just one. You might have to award bonus points for that tumble down the stairs.

Deena, pantsless, tries to get into Pauly's bed, but he feigns sleep. Classic move! Nice one, Pauly.

When the gang goes to the market the next day, they have trouble finding what they need. "Nothing is in English!" Exclaims Deena. Yeah, that's because you're in Italy.

The next casualty of the house is the dishwasher, which starts filling up with suds and overflowing into the cupboards and onto the floor. This place is going to be completely destroyed by the end of the season.

Jesus, look at Snooki's furry boots. She looks like a Clydesdale. Does she deliver Budweiser in her spare time? Anyway, Jionni is getting on her case for not calling him for an ENTIRE DAY (omg!) and Sitch tries to put the moves on her. Gross.

Marco from the "best pizzeria in Italy" calls with the crew's work instructions: they'll be helping him make pizzas this summer. That sounds much cooler than the Shore Store. Jwoww is excited to work there so that one day she can tell her grandchildren to shut up when they ask her where she learned to make pizza.

Snicks makes the first pizza, and actually does a decent job. Everyone is appropriately wowed.

Mike is thrilled with a "beautif--no, a cute little blonde" comes up and talks to him. Lo and behold, she's from Florida so Sitch can actually talk to her. Meanwhile, Drunk Ronnie is in full force and tells Jwoww about Hannah. Cut to Sammi, cue the danger music, which sounds as if there were a high-speed chase going on.

Drunk Ronnie is showing Sitch's girl his abs and saying "you pick your choice." Pauly notes that he hasn't seen him this bad since Miami...and everyone watching says a collective "uh oh." He then gives Sammi some attitude, just to make sure that she starts crying nice and early in the season.

Deena is in rare form as well (again), and the fall count is up to 7.

Mike, meanwhile, hooks up with the girl he found and kicks her out PROMPTLY. Like, record time. Then he has a heart-to-heart with Snooki and admits his feelings for her, which would have more sincerity if he wasn't totally drunk and hadn't literally just slept with another chick. Bad move, dude.

The next morning, Sammi claims that she's not going to let the "Ronnie thing" get to her. Meanwhile, Ronnie and Vinny have a romantic rendezvous in the hot tub. They say that the tub makes them "gravitate" toward each other. Aww.

Here's a little sample of the ignorance of the crew: "I love Rome! I mean Italy!" Snooki says as they sit down to lunch on a rooftop. When Ronnie points out the sun shining on a "church," a discussion starts about which church it is. "I think it starts with a V?" "Yeah, it's the Vatican. It's the one that Leonardo Da Vinci painted with his hands." "I think it was Michelangelo." YOU GUYS THE VATICAN IS NOT IN FLORENCE.

After a bit of a tiff, everyone is back on good terms and they head out for the night. Deena falls again (8). Aaaaaand cue the Ronnie and Sammi fight.

Vinny and Pauly, thankfully, provide some actual entertainment as they riff on how young the girls at the bar are. "If she still has a basket on her bicycle, she's too young for you, bro!" "If the parental controls are still on the TV in her bedroom, she's too young for you bro!" "If the only movie she has on DVD is Snow White, she's too young for you bro!"

Mike calls Brittany over, who, despite being called a whore on her way out the door the other night, agrees. But it's a tale of two rejections as Deena tries to put the moves on Pauly ("scusi," Pauly says as he moves her off of him) and Sammi tries to put the moves on Ronnie. Everyone watching groans in unison, but Ronnie surprisingly doesn't go for it (phew!). "F&#$ me in the a$# with a spiky metal bat, I'd rather not," he says. We feel the same way, Ron. We feel the same way.

But Ronnie/Sammi bullet-dodging aside, it looks like the theme of the season, at least in the early going, is going to be the housemates hooking up with each other left and right. It has yet to officially happen, but all it's going to take is a night when the correct two people happen to be drunk enough. Get ready.
