Trama

The housemates pack up their hair extensions and their Shore Store t-shirts and jet off to Italy for a European adventure. But the culture-shock that awaits them is nothing compared to their shocking new hook-ups.

Snooki gets her passport photo taken, so she can go to Europe, "that big country."

Johnston, Rhode Island Pauly D packs his international plug for his blow dryer. "It's going to be like an international panty raid," he announces.

New Egypt, New Jersey Deena gets her passport photo taken, and shows the guy boobs and a little Jersey turnpike. She resolves not to "do sex" with Italian guys until she figures them out.

Vinny hits on himself in the mirror, saying he hopes to learn more Italian and meet a nice girl. Sample phrase: "Come with me because I have a big...."

He's grown what he's calling a "beard," but what looks like a shadow.

Malboro, New Jersey Snooki packs. "Do you think they sell eyelashes in Italy?" she wonders. She says hi to her boyfriend Jionnni, who she's been seeing for six months. She knows he's a little nervous she's going. She shows us her "I love Vinny" underwear. They assure each other that they'll be good.

Manalapan, New Jersey The Situation thinks European girls are more "free spirited." In the barber shop, he says Snooki called him and said she lost weight. "If she lost some pounds, I'll hit it," he says.

Long Island J-Woww takes kick boxing lessons from Roger. She's not worried about staying true to him because she doesn't think they have 6 foot 4 juiceheads with tattoos over there.

Bronx, New York Ronnie thinks he's going to have a fresh start in Italy. His friends promise to kick him in the junk if he gets with Sammi.

Meanwhile, Sammi says she's healed and things will be OK.

The girls meet up at Deena's to fly out together.

Vinny says the first thing he's going to do in Italy is find out the age of consent. Ronnie, Pauly and Mike show up to eat. Vinny's uncle translate "DTF" for them.

Deena greets the girls. Snooki has packed eight bags.

The guys want to get the house before the girls to get the best rooms.

The next day they head to the airport and get on the planes. The guys have a connecting flight in Madrid. The girls go through Dusseldorf, Germany.

The guys land in Florence, but the girls end up in Milan. Snooki's bags are taller than she is. She wonders where she can convert her money to "pesos." J-Woww suffers a tragedy when one bottle of her bronzer explodes in her bag. Deena manages to fall running for the door. Bags fall off all over the place.

Meanwhile, in Florence...

The boys get cabs, but have to get a separate one for Mike's luggage.

The girls get stuck in traffic on a bus.

The guys pull up to a giant house. There are several flights of stairs. It's like a palace inside, with tile floor, balcony, patio with grill, Jacuzzi and statues.

There's a room with three beds, Vinny and Pauly grab it. Ronnie and Mike room together.

The bathroom is the size of a living room and includes a bidet.

The girls finally pull up.

Upstairs, there's lots of hugging. The girls are mad the boys got there first. MTV plays Sammi and Ronnie air kissing hello in slo-mo.

"It's really difficult seeing your ex-boyfriend. Ronnie looks good," she says. They haul bags in a grunting montage.

Deena ends up rooming with Vinny and Pauly. Deena has decided she and Pauly could be smush buddies.

Pauly pours shots of lemoncello. Ronnie toasts with his shirt off, for some reason.

They get ready to head out at midnight. Pauly's hairdryer blows out.

They're all sitting around the living room and Ronnie tries to sit down on a table, which breaks under him in cartoony-fashion.

The cast of "Jersey Shore" is unleashed on Florence. They find a "Ferris Wheel", which is actually a carousel.

At the end of the night, they somehow manage to find the house. Deena announces to Mike that they're among the single ones. He learns that Snooki is not. "I think she's gonna be single out here," he says.

Sammi immediately goes and tells Snooki Mike's reaction to her being single. She makes a face and says it's weird. Ronnie hangs out with his shirt off and drinks by himself.

Snooki asks Sammi if she'd go for him if Ron asked her on a romantic date. From the other room, Ronnie makes a fart noise with his mouth.

In the morning, they try to figure out how to get food and read a map. Snooki and Pauly are the only ones who know how to drive stick.

They get into the car and Snooki nearly runs over a motorcycle.

She doesn't know what the stop signs mean. Someone yells at Pauly for running a red light. The guys lose the girls.

The girls make it back to the house and Snooki argues to go to the gym instead of eating. They're sitting out on the patio when pigeons start dive bombing them.

The guys go to the gym on their own and are greeted by Luigi. "Luigi is like the guido Mr. Miyagi," Vinny explains.

The guys come home and Snooki decides to work out by running the stairs. She starts doing aerobic workouts in the living room. Vinny stands over her in his towel.

Later, they get ready to go out. JWoww keeps blowing out outlets with her curling iron. She ends up in the kitchen. Deena starts straightening her hair and notices the straightener is really hot. She keeps using it and it takes out a giant chunk of her hair.

Meanwhile, on the terrace, Mike whispers to Ronnie that he and Snooki hooked up two or three months ago. He's just finding out that she had a boyfriend.

Mike explains that they hooked up in LA once when they were drunk and then the four or fifth time was recently. Mike says that he thinks he's starting to like her.

Ronnie announces himself "mind boggled." Mike swears him to secrecy.

They get ready to go to a club. Vinny tries to call a cab.

Dena puts on a huge push up bra and gets the guy's attention. Vinny tries to figure out how to say "cabs are hyere" in Italian.

They pile into the cabs and arrive at Otel. The bartender is pouring liquor on a flaming bar. Girls in bikinis are working poles the like strippers. They hit the dance floor.

Mike calls a girl over then gets Vinny to translate.

They do a round of shots and hit the dance floor. Vinny enjoys Single Ronnie.

Mike works his way over to Snooki and over-hugs her and says he loves her. Sammi is a little horrified. Ronnie tells us he hopes Mike doesn't put the moves on Snooki because she's happy with her guy. The gang all watches, powerless to stop him as he hangs on her.

Deena tells Pauly to kiss her and he does, as everybody watches. We see entirely too much of both of their tongues.

And so it begins.
