What happened in Jersey Shore Family Vacation season 7 episode 32?

The latest episode of Jersey Shore Family Vacation featured a conversation between Angelina and her friends Snooki and Sammi. The discussion centered around Angelina's relationship with her boyfriend, Vinny 2.0. Snooki asked Angelina if she loved Vinny 2.0, and Angelina admitted that while she did love him, she wasn't sure if she was in love with him anymore.

Sammi chimed in, expressing her concerns about Angelina's relationship. She pointed out that Angelina had abandonment issues and suggested that this might be a factor in her decision to stay with Vinny 2.0. Angelina acknowledged her abandonment issues, but didn't think they were relevant to her current situation.

Meanwhile, Mike had a separate conversation with Vinny 2.0, asking him about his relationship with Angelina. Vinny 2.0 downplayed the conflicts they had been experiencing, attributing them to "passion." However, Mike wasn't convinced, and in a confessional, he expressed his doubts about the health of their relationship.

As the conversation continued, Angelina opened up to Snooki and Sammi about her fears and insecurities. The Jersey Shore Family Vacation star admitted that she didn't like being alone and was hesitant to end her relationship with Vinny 2.0. Her friends offered their support and encouraged her to take care of herself.

In a separate conversation, Mike advised Vinny 2.0 to consider taking a step back from the relationship and giving each other some space.

"If you don't appreciate my presence, respect my absence. Which means you don't break up, you could be like, 'Listen, let's stay together. I love you, but I'm gonna just take a little step back, and I'm gonna have my own place,'” stated Mike.

Vinny 2.0 was hesitant, and Mike expressed his concerns that Vinny 2.0 might not be willing to make the necessary changes to improve their relationship. Angelina's friends showed their support and encouraged her to take the time to figure out what she truly wanted.

Later, the Jersey Shore Family Vacation cast went bowling, and Snooki decided to confront Vinny 2.0 about his relationship with Angelina. Snooki asked Vinny 2.0 why he loved Angelina, and after a pause, he replied that Angelina was his best friend. Vinny 2.0 became defensive, asking who Snooki was to question him.

"When you say someone's your best friend, you say why you love them so much. You don't love her," said Snooki.

Snooki bluntly told Vinny 2.0 in Jersey Shore Family Vacation that she didn't think he truly loved Angelina, accusing him of using her. Vinny 2.0 denied the accusation, but Snooki continued to express her concerns.

The conversation turned to Vinny 2.0's recent verification on Instagram, which Angelina felt he had obtained by exploiting their relationship. Angelina was upset that Vinny 2.0 had pursued fame without discussing it with her.

The argument escalated, with Vinny 2.0 saying he put up with Angelina's behavior and implying that she was difficult to deal with. Angelina fired back, accusing Vinny 2.0 of trying to become famous off her back. As the confrontation continued, Jenni suggested that Angelina and Vinny 2.0 get separate rooms for the night, which Angelina agreed to.

As the gang reached their hotel rooms, Vinny 2.0 confronted Angelina about not standing up for him when the others were criticizing him. Angelina responded that the group's questions were valid and asked Vinny 2.0 to sleep in a separate room. The next day, Vinny 2.0 rejoined the group and announced that he was staying and willing to participate in the planned activities.
