'Jersey Shore Family Vacation': The backstory of the 'JWoww,' Angelina, 'Snooki' meltdown
What caused Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi to go running out into the Point Pleasant Beach night this summer at the Jersey Shore?

If that doesn't make sense, well, the rest of Thursday's episode didn't seen to make much sense, either. Things quickly deteriorated into a screaming match between several cast members at a house on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk.
The two main combatants were Jenni “JWoww “ Farley and Angelina, but then that splintered off into JWoww vs. Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Angelina vs. Snooki. The hijinks between Angelina and JWoww's boyfriend, “24,” two episodes ago precipitated the shouting match that looked and sounded a lot more like “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” than “Jersey Shore.”

Brush ups on “Jersey Shore” tend to happen in nightclubs, or on the sidewalks outside of nightclubs. Not at the dinner table
“Everything that needed to come out, is coming out all at once,” said Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio.

The episode was filmed on Aug. 6, and it caused quite a stir in the neighborhood.
“We were sitting on our deck Tuesday night and all of a sudden Snooki comes running out of the house screaming and yelling saying she can’t (blanking) take it, she cant do this (blank) anymore, she’s just a (blank),” said neighbor Frankie Adao previously to the USA Today Network New Jersey. He's the host of the @UNnormalized entertainment, news and culture podcast “She didn’t say who it was she as talking about but she walked up our street screaming and yelling that she didn’t want to be there anymore. She wanted to be with a her baby and her kids.”
A producer quickly followed Snooki out of the house and then castmates “JWoww” and Pauly D came running out, along with a cameraman, Adao said.
“I didn’t think it would go this his way,” Pauly D said. “It didn’t go the way I expected it to be.”
Later, Snooki said she indeed left the house because she missed her kids. Snooki, 31, had baby No. 3, Angelo James, on May 30 with husband Jionni Lavalle. The baby was just over two months old when the episode was filmed.
“Angelina giving me crap, because that did happen, I can’t tell you what it’s about,” Snooki said on her YouTube channel in a video published in August. “She’s coming at me. And in my head I’m thinking – mind you, I had, like, two bottles of wine – but in my head I'm thinking I didn’t leave my kids to deal with this high school drama. And I got up and walked out.”
The end of the episode left things very much unresolved, but at least there's a silver lining.
“The house that Nicole got for us last time, it was in Manalapan, it was off the Shore,” Pauly D said. “There was no water, like, where was the Shore? This time it's one on the Shore. It's amazing.”
