False alarm!

Last week, we thought that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino did the dip for good, leaving the house with two fallen roomies. But on tonight's episode of Jersey Shore, we find out that Mike came back (and is a sensitive Cancer). Guess Danny won't need to bring any new roommates after all!

Wait, what?!

Danny, the Shore Store boss and house owner, gave everyone a surprise visit and kinda scolded the group for not putting in enough effort at work. Also, the deal was to have eight people under his roof and working for him…there are no longer eight people in the house. New roommates?! Possibly. But Snooki warned whoever enters their "family" will get kicked by her (and with that, welcome!).

A "Help Wanted" sign went up, and females started going in and asking about the job. This should be interesting.

Meanwhile, all the girls in the house were secretly setting up a man-friendly soiree for Pauly D and Mike at Karma. Once it was the big night, these two birthday boys were beyond surprised. They were both handcuffed into wheelchairs as two huge cakes came rolling out and—bam!—two (cute!) female strippers pop out. Mike hits it off with the blond one, while Pauly finds a random brunette that he wanted to get in his birthday suit with.

The house had called up Vinny earlier in the day, and he broke the news that he wasn't going to show up to his boyfriend's birthday surprise. Later that night after getting back to the house, Ron and Deena tried calling Vin again, but it went to voicemail. And that led them to getting teary and missing their friend.

The next night was couple's night. All the roomies and their significant others (Pauly went solo, Deena took one of Ron's friends, Mike took Paula) rolled over to Bamboo. Oh, except Snooki and Jionni—they smushed and then slept.

Anyway, upon minutes of arriving to the club, a girl fight broke out, and you wouldn't believe who was involved…No, not JWoww (shocking, we know), but Sammi! Apparently, some random girl pulled on her "new weave" so Sam threw her drink and before you knew it, they were goin' at it on the floor. "I was always taught to, like, self defend myself," she explained. You get what she meant.

Deena got into a fight, too—with an alarm clock. It kept beeping every time she was trying "to do sex." What a you-know-what-block!

Then it was Operation GTGVB: Gym, tan, get Vinny back. Everyone in the house got together, made some custom "Vinny" shirts and went to Staten Island in hopes of kidnapping their friend and bringing him back.

After ambushing the house, everyone found Vinny in his room and smiles were all over the place. Vin showed off his new tat on his chest that said, "Let Go, Let God," (and some new abs). Then, everyone went back to the Shore house. And when we say everyone, we mean everyone.

Vinny included.
