RHONJ S4, E10: Our Therapist Needs A Therapist

Send us Fan MailMeredith recaps The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 4, Episode 10 “Temporary Shrinkage” through a modern lens, noting how much of the season centers on Teresa despite others’ claimed dislike. At Teresa’s, the family builds a garage as she discusses Jacqueline, tabloid rumors about an apartment for their parents, and sadness over lost friendships. Rosie confronts Teresa about tabloid attacks on Kathy, and Teresa suggests Kathy once struggled with Rosie being gay. Joe and Melissa debrief with Kathy and Rich about therapy, while Caroline and Jacqueline debate an RV trip amid tension with Teresa. Sunday dinner at the Wakiles includes a story about Kathy’s mother being raised by an aunt and the cost of grudges. Teresa and Joe attend therapy, are advised to avoid old grievances and build positive time together, but they immediately argue off-camera about another tabloid story before agreeing to “start fresh.”00:00 Welcome and Episode Setup01:26 Why Everything Is Teresa04:09 Dina Divorce and Shady Husbands08:13 Garage Build and Tabloid Rumors11:00 Rosie Confronts Teresa12:42 Rosie and Family Acceptance Talk18:13 Gorgas and Wakiles React20:30 Manzo Laurita RV Drama21:35 Sunday Dinner and Mom Story27:00 Therapy Session Begins27:35 Jacqueline Talks It Out35:43 Dr Mike Advice and Napa Plans39:33 Hot Mic Lobby Fight42:49 Wrap Up and Podcast Plugs44:11 Hopeful Sign OffSupport the show
