Rosie met up with Teresa to confront her about the lies that she has spread about Kathy via the tabloid magazines. Teresa (once again) denied any responsibility for anything that was written about anyone in a magazine. Then she dropped a bombshell. While they were reminiscing about the past, Rosie said that she kept herself distant because she felt left out and like she didn't fit in. Teresa said in her interview that Kathy was the one who left Rosie out, which is interesting because Kathy has always maintained that she embraced her sister's sexuality from day one. Hmm..

Teresa's revelation was even more interesting since Kathy asked Rosie to take her to a gay bar so that she can help Rosie get her love life started. Kathy felt like Rosie went through a period where she needed to accept herself before she could attempt to have good relationships with anyone, even family. At s family dinner, their mother revealed that she didn't have a chance to fight with her siblings because she was taken away and raised from her aunt - separated from her entire family. It was such a sad situation, and everyone at the table was in tears.

At Kathy's request, they headed to a gay bar. Kathy's friend Heather accompanied them which I thought was bizarre. Heather is the married woman who was flirting with Rosie in a hot tub a few episodes ago. Rosie sees Heather as her dream girl, so why would she want to browse for chicks with this woman  by her side? Rosie did end up getting a number from a pretty blond, so I guess the evening was successful. 
Teresa told a very sad looking Gia that she was going "out to lunch" with her uncle Joe, but of course they went to therapy. The therapist spoke to each of them separately first, then together. When speaking with Teresa, he noticed right away that most of her issues lie with Melissa, and not her brother. He advised them not to share an RV when going to Napa, and Teresa decided immediately to try and prove the doctor wrong. This from the woman who said that she doesn't store information in her head? Yes Teresa, let's pay the shrink 100+ dollars an hour to ignore his advice.

They ended up arguing right in the lobby of the doctor's office, over money and the rumors that Joe kicked his parents out of their house. Teresa mentioned that Joe should give their parents money and that she would if she had it. Then he brought up her expensive purse. The bottom line for Teresa is that she needs to stop spending, and stop talking to the tabloids if she wants to maintain the relationships with her friends and family.

Stay tuned!
