What unfolded in Jersey Shore Family Vacation season 7 episode 21?

During a gathering with castmates Vinny, Sammi, Snooki, JWOWW, and Pauly D, Mike shared that he had just experienced the “scariest moment”of his life. While having dinner with his 2-year-old son Romeo and 1-year-old daughter Mia Bella, Romeo began to cough.

Security footage from their home showed a distressed Romeo struggling to breathe at the dining table. This alarming incident, captured back in February, revealed the toddler choking on gnocchi at their residence in Holmdel.

“We heard Romeo cough, and I immediately sprung into action. Once he hunched over, I knew it was a f***ing emergency. I slapped his back and heard a cry, which indicated there was a bit of air,”Mike recounted.

In the footage, Mike can be seen attempting to dislodge the food by slapping his child’s back. He also praised Lauren for her quick thinking as she reached for an anti-choking device and successfully removed the obstruction. Romeo’s subsequent cry indicated that they had overcome the crisis, prompting Mike to commend his wife for her prompt response.

Later, Lauren was seen crying in bed with Mike, who offered her reassurance. While the rest of the cast applauded Mike for his handling of the situation, Vinny made an inappropriate joke that fell flat.

The episode then shifted to Ronnie Ortiz-Magro in Los Angeles, where he paid a visit to Lamar Odom at his new recovery center. A former NBA player for the LA Lakers and ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian, Lamar discussed his struggles with substance abuse, including a near-fatal incident in a Las Vegas brothel in 2015.

“I spent $75,000, had 12 strokes and 6 heart attacks when that happened. What’s my purpose now? I believe my purpose is to show everyone that drugs aren’t the answer,” Lamar shared.

Following Lamar’s heartfelt account, Ronnie opened up about his own substance struggles during a group discussion at Odom’s Vanity Wellness Center. He recounted how his father’s battles with addiction influenced his choice to drink as a teenager, and he expressed regret about his past, including a domestic abuse arrest two years ago that nearly cost him access to his daughter, Ariana.

Ronnie disclosed that his daughter would often turn away from him, which was incredibly painful and motivated him to change for the better.

Back in Jersey, Angelina revealed that her plans to buy a townhouse fell through due to a bounced check, interpreting it as a sign from God to reconsider. This conversation prompted the rest of the cast to question Angelina about her relationship with Vinny 2.0, which she skillfully sidestepped, insisting they were managing their issues privately.
