Another night of the Jersey Shore means another night of shenanigans.

Tonight's episode started out with Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino letting us know that he wants a girl like his sister or his mother (his words), and apparently, that is not Paula. Ouch.

Sitch says, "I definitely wanna break up with Paula in a smooth and easy way because I'd like to still hit it. 'Listen girl, it's not me. It's you. Can I still hit it?'"

That wasn't the only relationship going downhill in Mike's life. His friendship with Snooki was still rocky, and although he continued to mention that he wanted to apologize to her and get things back to where they were, Snooks made it clear (again) she didn't feel the same way. How, you ask?

Well, she told Sammi, Ronnie and JWoww that Mike won't be invited to the wedding, and even if he said sorry, she would never want him in her life again. 

Meanwhile, Jenni planned a pre-baby shower for Snooks, who felt like she had no one except for JWoww to turn to in the house when it came to her pregnancy. Everyone seemed pretty pumped for it, except for Vinny because of his awkwardness with Jionni. Hopefully, the celebration of new life will inspire Vin to squash whatever's going on there. Key word: Maybe.

Back to the Mike and Paula debacle. Sitch kept running his mouth about his plan to breakup with his girl, and surprise, it got back to her. She called her beau up and told him that she overheard her coworkers mentioning how he wanted to split, but, of course, he denied it.

Regardless, Paula started crying on the phone, which made Mike feel bad. He called her "sweetie" and "babe," trying to make things a little smoother, but we all knew what was going to happen. The roommates knew Sitch was going to end it, and at Paula's work, so they all joined him for some tanning before he dropped the bomb. And then it happened...

Can someone give Mike an award or something? His "breakup" ended with kisses on the lips and a hug. How did that just happen?!

Good thing he didn't use the "Let's Make It Unofficial" shirt Vinny made him. That might have changed things.
