‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ Season 4 goes out with a bang

Mike “The Situation” and Lauren Sorrentino revealed the sex of their son, Romeo Reign, in December 2020. But that didn’t stop “Big Daddy Sitch” from wanting to run through a wall and redo the reveal in the season 4 finale of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation

“We will avenge the loss that happened 10 years ago,” Mike tweeted during the episode, referring to the wall in Italy he hit headfirst during season 4. Part of the big reveal involved the rest of the roommates blasting off cannons full of colored powder.

Angelina Larangeira accidentally aimed hers right at her husband, Chris’ face. “Dam, did I just shoot my husband in the eye with a canon???” she tweeted during the episode

The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation cast, including producer Salsano, tweeted as the finale was airing. “Thank god he’s okay,” Angelina said in another tweet. According to Salsano, there’s more to the story of Angelina hitting Chris in the face that will allegedly be addressed in the special next week.
