Deena planned Nikki's party at the Lion, Tiger and Bear Sanctuary in Jersey Shore: Family Vacation

Deena entered the room with a binder after planning out the group's entire day. During her confessional, she shared that she would've probably been a party planner if she wasn't on the show.

While visiting the Sanctuary, the group met a bear called Meatball. Deena and Nicole were taken by the bear's name because both of them are known as 'The Meatballs' and claimed to have found their third meatball.

While it was all fun and games, Deena had something big planned for their last animal visit. The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star claimed she had a surprise for the group.

During her confessional, Deena shared,

"Seems like group chat is the problem with all of the issues that are happening. So I called Lions, Tigers and Bears to see if they can help me come up with a funny way to just end it."

Deena asked the wildlife center to write 'Group Chat' on one of the enrichment boxes that the tigers, so that they could tear up the box and destroy it for good. She said:

"I put 'Group Chat' on it. Since Angelina is not in it, we put all of our beef in this box. And the tigers destory this beef for good, and we kumbaya and move on."

Angelina and the rest of the group were impressed by Deena's symbolic ending to their trip to the local wildlife center. Viewers were also glad that Deena decided to put an end to the ongoing drama and claimed that it was a great idea.
