Curious, Vic asks Nonna about their family, and she learns that her late grandfather had a brother who disappeared from their Italian village and was presumed dead. As party planning continues, a hurricane threatens the Jersey Shore, but Nonna refuses to reschedule. On the night of the party, the weather gets worse and worse.
