By Rachel Maresca Aug 20, 2012, 10:39 AM ET

It's getting vicious in the vineyards, as the Real Housewives of New Jersey continued their trek through the hills of Napa Valley, and just when it seemed as though the 'Wives were on their way to reconciliation, things took a drastic turn.

Aside from the Joe Giudice phone call everyone's been talking about, a seemingly well-intentioned dinner toast from Teresa Giudice to Kathy Wakile, and Chris Laurita has some words for Joe G. as well.

Check out some Tweets from the RHONJ cast’s Twitter accounts along with some fan reactions to Jersey’s Napa tales last night:

Kathy Gets Snubbed

The tributes to @carolinemanzo were so beautiful ! Well said @albiemanzo @chris_manzo @laurenmanzo #TearJerkers

Caroline's eldest son Albie comments that after Teresa's husband Joe makes a toast at Caroline’s birthday that peace was almost achieved:

When I heard Joe's toast I actually thought we were gonna get thru this trip in one piece. #wewereTHISclose

Despite the Manzo's feeling towards Teresa, Lauren tweets her sympathy for T when her husband Joe calls her some not-so-nice names:

This is sad- no one deserves thisâ¦wish it didnât have to happen to her Especially on TVâ¦ #RHONJ

Joe Giudice's Mysterious Phone Call

A Reality TV fan is shocked by the words Juicy Joe used to describe his wife:

Whoa... Juicy. Ugh. Even if you hate Teresa you have to feel bad. That was heartbreaking. #RHONJ

Manzo roommate and friend Greg Bennett had a laugh at Teresa calling Caroline 'weird and judgy' on their vacation:

@carolinemanzo Can you make your twitter bio just say "Weird and Judgey"? Thank you in advance.
— Greg Bennett (@GreggyBennett) August 20, 2012

Caroline feels for her former friend Teresa:

Regardless of my feelings for T, my heart went out to her at this scene. No one deserves to hear or be spoken to like that.

Daughter of Mama Manzo, Lauren comments on her dad’s bickering with Joe Giudice on the bus:

This fight w my dad and joe went on for like 80 hours- it was brutal #RHONJ
— Lauren Manzo (@Laurenmanzo) August 20, 2012

A fan comments that if Chris Laurita and the Manzo's were going on a business meeting, they never should have allowed the whole gang to come along:

If it were my business meeting I surely would not have brought this mess of a group. #RHONJ ^PD

And even amid all the drama, one fan sees through it all for the real Teresa storyline of the episode:

@teresa_giudice let's be real. The best part of #RHONJ tonight were your Loubs. #lovethefringe
