t's a season of change for this Garden State clan. As Lauren and Vito prepare to tie the knot, Chris and Albie seek to develop separate identities. Chris has moved out to a bachelor pad in Hoboken while Albie focuses on work by pursuing a business opportunity in Colorado's booming cannabis industry. Sensing distance between her sons, Caroline makes it her mission to prevent her sons from going down the same unhealthy path that she and her sister Dina have taken. But will Mama Manzo's meddling drive her sons further apart? Meanwhile, Caroline reveals she invited Dina to Lauren's bridal shower.

Caroline is fed up with her children acting too immature. Albie works on his love life. The Manzo children try to make peace with her mother while Lauren begins turning into a bridezilla and clashes with her mother.

Caroline goes to the ends of the earth for her children, even if it means bonding over a midnight visit to a haunted prison; while writing a young-adult novel, Chris drags the entire family along on his research; Lauren tells Vito of her unhappiness.

Lauren opens up a second salon and hires brother Chris to direct a commercial for her new business; Albie advises Vito to attend an etiquette class, and when Caroline joins Albie and Vito, the etiquette teacher shames all three of them.

Caroline fears that although Albie has moved into a sleek bachelor pad, her eldest son is lonely. Caroline decides she must find Albie a girlfriend and recruits Denise Scalia and Chris to scour local bars and grocery stores for suitable bachelorettes. When Albie learns about this scheme, his temper flares at their meddling. Elsewhere, Lauren and Vito butt heads about their living situation and discuss starting a family.

The Manzo men, Vito, and Greg head to Vegas for some boys bonding. Caroline takes her soaps to NJ's Sugarloaf Craft Festival, where she is in over her head. Chris and Albie find themselves in sexy situations that have the group gasping in disbelief.

Sick of hearing Lauren and Vito bicker over whose job is harder, Caroline calls for the newlyweds to swap jobs for the day. While Lauren spends time with Denise and Vito Sr. at the deli, Vito struggles at Lauren's salon. Meanwhile, Albie stresses that his career is taking too long to get off the ground, so he turns to his father for a heart-to-heart where he brings up a painful childhood memory.

After success with her first crafts fair, the sky’s the limit for Caroline AKA “the Soap Lady.” To move her business to the next level she has to push past her comfort zone and lean on Albie for support. The pair pitches Caroline’s soap to a major grocery store and after years of parenting, this time Albie must tell Caroline what to do. Meanwhile, Lauren reaches her boiling point with Vito and gives her husband a firm ultimatum. Later, Albert is shocked when Caroline approaches him in a panic about her health. Stricken with fear, Caroline immediately seeks medical attention to determine what is wrong with her.
