Christmas Eve continues, as Joe Gorga opts to leave for Kathy's party. Joe Giudice was saying some pretty sheisty things about him and Melissa, so yeah, they should leave. Teresa disagrees with his decision because, "Kathy is evil, right?" She tries to get Joe to stay, but it just makes things even more uncomfortable. Teresa even tried bringing the kids into it, but it was a no-go (or rather, it was a go-to-Kathy's). The giant gilded doors shut for one last time on the Gorgas.
In a delightful Christmas farce, Jacqueline's son spies Chris Manzo laying on the grass shaking bells, trying to pretend Santa was outside. The magic is still alive.
