Gym, tan, group therapy? Jersey Shore: Family Vacation takes a turn for the emotionally complicated in this week’s episode, aptly titled Family Meeting. Airing Thursday, June 12 at 8:00 PM ET on MTV, the third installment of season eight finds the roommates swapping their usual party gear for some serious conversation—or at least attempting to.
While the specifics are under wraps, the episode teases an attempt to resolve long-simmering issues. Considering the group’s history of blowups, makeups, and everything in between, the potential for fireworks is considerable. Adding to the mix: a surprising change of heart from Angelina, which could either smooth things over or throw another log on the fire.
Meanwhile, the self-proclaimed Meatballs (Snooki and Deena) take their act on the road, heading to Nashville for the launch of Snooki’s latest retail venture. It wouldn’t be Jersey Shore without a side hustle, after all.
Eight seasons in, Family Vacation continues to prove there’s life beyond the boardwalk for this crew. Whether they can actually work through their issues or just end up shouting about them over plates of Sunday dinner is what keeps fans coming back for more.
