Tonight's episode of RHONJ began with the cast members spending some time with each other at different parties and gatherings. The ladies brought along a lot of issues from the past and also argued on matters relating to potential rumors, family issues, and more.

Margaret, for her part, found out about the meeting from an anonymous "mole" and was upset about it, considering she had dissolved her differences with Jennifer by the end of the previous RHONJ season. She was upset that her fellow castmate went leaps and bounds to dig into something that could potentially be harmful to her.

Later on in the episode, the ladies gathered at newcomer Danielle's party while Margaret pulled in Jennifer for a quick chat. She addressed her concerns with the latter's meeting with Laura and digging up information.

Although Jennifer mentioned that she was only curious when asked to meet up and wasn't going to air any details out, Margaret proceeded to state that her actions seemed "disingenuine."

Margaret also felt that Jennifer didn't really want to get on better terms with her after their conversation on RHONJ Season 12, and asked her to be "self-reflective." This led to a lot of tension between the two ladies, who eventually left the conversation as it was.
