'Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ)' Season 7 Recap: Women Going To Explore New Territories?

The previous episode of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" found the women exploring new, unfamiliar territories as they launched their own projects.

Melissa Gorga opened her new boutique, Teresa Giudice wrote a book about her experience in jail, and Jacqueline Laurita and Chris invested their money in a new venture.

Joe Gorga was angry with Melissa for opening her new business, but not exactly in the way that Melissa had expected. According to Joe, she spent too much time away from her family preparing for the launch of her new boutique. When Joe dropped his wife a line to tell her to come home, Melissa told him to "man up" and blamed him for giving her the guts to be an entrepreneur herself.

Meanwhile, Teresa started writing a book titled "Turning the Tables," which recounted her experience behind bars. She wrote that being in prison was actually a good experience for her. She also tried to make her readers realize that being incarcerated wasn't really that bad.

While on her way to her book recording session, Teresa told her lawyer that the rumor about Joe's cheating on her wasn't all true. Everything went fine until Siggy confronted Teresa about their marriage during their rock climbing activity. Good thing was, Teresa was composed enough to just shrug it off.

The Lauritas also found themselves in a tight spot financially. Chris told Jacqueline to be optimistic, and reassured her that they will have a completely different life 24 years from now. Chris just launched his new moneymaking venture, Little Kernel popcorn.

At Envy's opening night, Siggy told Jacqueline that Teresa wasn't affected by the rumors, leaving Jacqueline in shock. The highest point of the night came when Joe told Melissa that she was the best wife a man could ever have.

After the party, Teresa confronted her husband about the rumors surrounding their marriage.

"You know, if you cheated on me, no forgiving," Teresa told Joe. While Joe looked a little stunned, he told her he got it.
