The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" returns tonight, and in the likely event that last season depleted too many brain cells, we're here to bring you up to date on our returning housewives, introduce the two new ones , and give you a hint of what's to come this season:
Caroline Manzo of Franklin Lakes: Wife of Al , who runs Paterson's Brownstone banquet hall, mother of Albie , Chris and Lauren , sister of Dina , who left the show last season (and who is married to Al's brother Tommy , whom we have never met), sister-in-law to Jacqueline Laurita (who is married to Caroline and Dina's brother Chris Laurita ), and friend to Teresa Giudice.
