What happened in Jersey Shore Family Vacation season 7 episode 30?

Episode 30 of Jersey Shore Family Vacation saw Snooki join the gang late after she decided to stay behind in New Jersey, opting to tend to her Snooki Shop, located on the Boulevard in Seaside Heights.

She was seen talking to Mike's wife, Lauren, and said that she would introduce her through a surprise.

While the whole cast sans Ronnie was gathered around the dinner table, Snooki went in and greeted everyone. In the last episode, Sammi and her fiance, Justin May got engaged and even staged an elaborate prank with Pauly D to announce their union to everyone.

After seeing Sammi flaunting the ring, Snooki shrieked in surprise and congratulated the couple.

"You got engaged? It's so rude. Why didn't you wait for me," stated Snooki.

As the cast explained the prank wars situation to Snooki, Lauren had to wait a few minutes outside. Soon, Snooki realized and went outside to get Lauren for their surprise.

Later, Deena had planned a scavenger hunt for the cast of Jersey Shore Family Vacation centered around their most memorable moments in Miami.

One of their stops was Cybr Caffe, a spot that held significant history for them. It was here that Jenni and Nicole created an anonymous note detailing Ronnie's alleged infidelity, which was provided by Angelina.

Deena introduced the location, referencing the cast's shady past and the note that sparked a major controversy.

Jenni recounted her role in creating the note, which was intended to inform Sammi about Ronnie's actions without directly telling her. The group recreated the moment, with Jenni and Nicole typing out the exact note that caused chaos among the group.

"I wrote a note for Sammi to find out the truth without me telling her. Eh, I got punched in the face for it," said Jenni.

The infamous note that sparked a physical altercation between Jenni and Sammi had become an iconic moment in Jersey Shore Family Vacation history. Despite the drama it caused, Sammi revealed that she has come to appreciate the note's significance, acknowledging that it ultimately contributed to her growth and led her to where she is today.

Sammi also admitted that she was aware of Nicole and Jenni's involvement in writing the note, which exposed Ronnie's alleged infidelity. The revelation led to a tumultuous period in her relationship with Ronnie, ultimately resulting in their split in 2014.

Sammi has since found love again with her fiancé, Justin May, and as mentioned before, announced her engagement in last week's episode.

Sammi has also made amends with Ronnie, who has made appearances on the show since her return to the franchise.
