To try to make Angelina more comfortable, the boys fly her husband out to surprise her, much like how they brought Deena's husband to Vegas. When Jenni arrives, the vibes are super awkward.

Eventually, the boys resort to calling in a professional to try to get Jenni and Angelina to settle their beef. Dr. Drew is brought in to try to help Angelina and JWoww settle their beef, as well as confronting Jenni about the text she sent Deena.

After Vegas, Angelina and Chris continue to have marital issues and the roommates see she took "Larangeira" out of her name on Instagram. The roommates try to get ahold of Angelina to no avail.

At this point, things seem to be okay between them, even dismissing the video and Old Bridge drama. Both of them say that stuff doesn’t matter and they are focused on fixing their relationship. Angelina also confronts Jenni about having the videos and not coming to her about it. Jenni explains that they were just trying to prevent the videos being sold and have Angelina be exploited. Angelina tells her to just come to her next time instead of having her and the other roommates talk about things behind her back. Jenni apologizes and things between them are good for now.
JWoww and Angelina also have a bet where Angelina can’t react to Vinny teasing her for 24 hours. If she wins, Angelina gets to push Jenni in the pool, but if she loses, she has to go out in the snow in her bikini. Both women are determined to win the bet, but ultimately the Staten Island Queen comes out victorious and gets to push JWoww in the pool.
When Vinny decides to have a talent show for Jenni's birthday, Angelina wants to do a speech.

Then Snooki starts throwing crab cakes at Angelina, and everyone watches anxiously. Nicole claims she was still upset about the fight at Point Pleasant, which was two years ago.

As a bet, Vinny had to do an appreciation post about Angelina, which he playfully took back with a "JK". This set her off and she threw water on Vinny, which as a result, got Nikki wet too.

During the dinner, Nicole says she doesn't want drama with Angelina and that she was just defending Joey. Sammi gets annoyed by Angelina not taking accountability, showing she is still irked about their unresolved drama and calls her out. Sammi points out Angelina has yet to say sorry. Jenni tells Angelina she understands she feels like she doesn't have a place within the group now that Sammi is back, but everyone does and they need to move on. Jenni tries really hard to get Angelina to move on. Sammi can't seem to get through to Angelina. Angelina says she's sorry but it doesn't come off as genuine. However, the girls agree to take baby steps and have peace from now on. Angelina and Sammi agree to have lunch one on one later to further hash out their issues.
However, Angelina is VERY late to her lunch date with Sammi, but is apologetic when she finally arrives. Although Sammi has to leave, the girls agree that things are good between them. A few days later, Angelina goes on a rant on live about how the show wouldn't go on without her. She later accompanies Nicole on her store opening. Afterwards, Nicole tells Angelina to not go on rants online and that she is part of the family and are there for her, regardless if she left the show twice.
During the Miami trip, Angelina is noticeably quieter when Vinny 2.0 is around. The roommates are shocked he's even here, considering all the things Angelina has said about him. Angelina told the girls that 2.0 had gotten a verified check on social media, implying he's using her to get fame. The roommates are offended for her, and tell Angelina this relationship is toxic. Nicole calls 2.0 out, accusing him of using Angelina and it turns into an argument between him and the other girls. Towards the end of the trip, the roommates have a conversation with Angelina and 2.0. They ask them things such as if they truly love each other and if they have ever cheated on each other during the relationship. Each roommate gives their advice on how to move forward in their relationships and to decide what's really best for them. They express they want both Angelina and 2.0 to be happy.
Season 8
The roommates are getting sick of Angelina's behavior after she recently trash-talked them on her podcast when there wasn't any issues between them. The cast try to figure out how to get to a good place with her long term or else they can't move forward with her. At the same time, Angelina is dipping her feet back into the music world and is in process of recording an album. She starts a rigorous therapy regiment of going five days a week. The girls, seeing her progress, make her a special family tree out of all the trips they've been on with her, to show that she is part of the family.
Angelina's dog Peanut begins to decline in health, leading Ang to make the heartbreaking decision to put her down. She shares the news on social media, sparking Nicole and Deena to call her. Ang is shattered over the loss of Peanut, whom she calls her "daughter".
Throughout the Jamaica trip, Angelina is often seen struggling to even come out of her room while she deals with the fallout of her relationship with 2.0. A fanpage posted that 2.0 has been on dating apps, messaging other women. On top of that, she briefly finds herself at odds with Lauren over boundary issues about questions about the Sorrentino's sex life. While Angelina finds it hypocritical that Lauren has issues with these type of questions since Mike always asks her the same things, Lauren doesn't want her kids to see this one day. Lauren settles her beef by hugging Angelina and acknowledging the hardships she's currently going through. Despite everything, Angelina does her best to relax and enjoy the vacation.[20]
Relationships
Snooki
Snooki and Angelina got along when they first entered the house. However, whatever relationship they had turned sour when Snooki accuses Angelina of running her mouth about the roommates between the first two seasons. Snooki confronts Angelina about this, which turns into an argument. Later Nicole feels sorry for Angelina for being the odd one out and she tells her that she just needs to own up to her mistakes and they can start over. Their brief friendship comes to a stop due to the infamous note situation where Snooki accuses Angelina of playing both sides. They later get into a physical fight when Angelina gets too close to a guy Nicole hooked up with.
Nicole wasn't very happy when Angelina returned in Family Vacation, one big reason being that Angelina supposedly told a news outlet she was ugly. But they soon squash their beef on their Meatball Day and start an actual friendship with one another. Nicole is also the one to invite Angelina to Las Vegas so she could try to build her friendships with the other roomies.
JWoww
Arguably, Jenni and Angelina seem to have the most rocky relationship with each other. The two are often at each other's throats, which is shown throughout both Jersey Shore and Family Vacation. One of Jenni's biggest issues with Angelina is that she supposedly keeps talking shit about her to people and that she won't own up to it. On the flip side, Angelina has an issue with Jenni seemingly strong arming the other roomies to defend her even if she was in the wrong. When Angelina returned to the show, Jenni was immediately cold and skeptical towards her and called her a "chew toy". After some convincing from Nicole and Deena, Jenni is willing to give Angelina a chance since it has been years since they've seen each other.
However, there are times where they DO get along and can be there for each other, as shown when Jenni offers Angelina advice when she is contemplating divorcing Chris. JWoww refers Angelina as a step-sister where they do things that constantly get on each other's nerves, but deep down they do care and have some love for each other. They finally stopped butting heads for the most part after Angelina got news about finding her birth father and she initiated a final truce in Orlando. After this, Jenni has been seen trying to help Angelina end her beefs with the roommates, as well as give her advice on her messy relationship with Vinny 2.0.
Sammi
Sammi and Angelina were close during the first season of the show. Sammi is the only girl Angelina hasn’t had any major beef with. However, Sammi wasn't too excited to see Angelina when she surprisingly returned for the show's second season. Despite that, Sammi remains friends with Angelina and leaned towards her when she was on the outs with Snooki and JWoww. Angelina told Sammi that the other girls wrote the note, but failed to mention she was the one who saw what Ron did and told JWoww and Snooki what to put in the note. At the end of Angelina's time in Miami, she called everyone out for being fake and that she couldn't stand them, including Sammi. As she was leaving, Angelina told Sammi she wasn't a good friend to her, to which Sammi rebutted that wasn't true. In fact, she said she was more than a friend to Angelina, but was treated differently when Ang's friends came to town.
Whatever feud they had seemed to dissolve as Angelina reached out to Sammi to catch up during season six of Family Vacation. Sammi agrees to return and join the cast on their trip and rides with Angelina. However, jealousy soon arises with Angelina due to the attention Sammi is getting for her return. Angelina feels underappreciated by Sammi for getting her back and continued to speak poorly about her. Sammi tried several times to fix the situation between them, but Angelina can't let things go, especially not after a TikTok was made shading her. While they never got to fully hash out their issues, they both agreed they wanted no more drama between them and came to a truce.
Mike
Mike has had his share of fights with Angelina over the years. They both share some similarities with each other, such as having the tendency to stir the pot. It was Mike who gave her the nickname, "Dirty Little Hamster", due to Angelina's nonexistent cleaning habits. The two could not stand each other, both often screaming and insulting one another. When Sammi came back in season six of JS: Family Vacation, Mike explains to her that while he and Ang are friends, Angelina is the kind of friend who will backstab you and ask why you're bleeding. Ironically, the same could be said about Mike as well, especially when it comes to his friendship with Angelina. Mike also has a tendency to get too invested in her love life, even going as far as making evidence boards of her supposedly cheating on Chris.
Despite their frequent fights, they have shown times supporting one another during good and bad times in their lives. Angelina supported Mike during his prison sentence and would often show up to celebrate many milestones in his and his family's lives. Mike has offered advice to Angelina during her marital issues with Chris.
Mike and Angelina knew each other well before Jersey Shore. Mike was the one who referred Angelina to the producers. They also went "two or three" dates at a club before the show. They made out a few times, but nothing serious.[21]
Pauly D
Pauly and Angelina had a pretty good friendship with each other. However during season two, Angelina got too drunk and started to fight with Pauly and Mike and even going as far as slapping them. She claims to think about Pauly everyday and wants to marry him, forcing him to admit in a confessional that he and Mike did hook up with Angelina in the past, but there weren't any feelings involved - or so he thought. The usually calm and positive Pauly gets angry with her and says he no longer fucks with her. Angelina has since said that fighting with Pauly is one of the biggest regrets she has from her Jersey Shore days.
But whatever fight they had seemed to dissolve by the time Family Vacation started, as Pauly invited Angelina to Miami to prank Mike. Afterwards, they have a pretty positive relationship with each other, although Pauly often teases her.
Vinny
Vinny and Angelina lived in the same town and knew each other before the show. They lived a block away from each other, however Vinny denies this even though Angelina was proven to be correct. The two Staten Island natives constantly bicker with each other, but they also seem to flirt with one another. They hooked up during season two of the original show, and later during Family Vacation the other roomies' try to push the two together.
Ronnie
Like the other roommates, Ronnie found Angelina annoying, a lot of it because of the drama that surrounds her. However they become much better friends during JS: Family Vacation. The two often supported each other when both felt ostracized from the rest of the group.
During an intervention between Angelina and the roommates, Ron (and Jenni) spoke to her individually beforehand. Ron saw a lot of parallels between himself and Angelina such as self-sabotage and lashing out on their friends and tried to steer her into bettering herself and getting help.
Deena
Deena replaced Angelina during the third season of the original show. Although Family Vacation made it seem like they didn’t meet until Ang's return, photos from 2014 showed they have actually met prior to that and were friends. Out of all her relationships with the girls, Angelina's bond with Deena is arguably the strongest. They grew close during the Vegas trip in the third season. Deena tries to give Angelina advice on handling certain situations, but very rarely does she take it. On several occasions, Deena comforted Angelina during her hard times. An example of this is after Angelina's fight with Nikki Hall and Vinny, Deena talked her down and told her several times to take a shower to feel better. However, much like Angelina's relationships with the other girls, they too have had their share of conflicts. One of their biggest rifts is the infamous speech Deena, Nicole, and Jenni gave at Angelina's wedding. The event caused a social media war between the girls. While they were able to get past the speech, more issues between them kept arising, to the point where Deen was anxious to even be around her in fear that Angelina would bring their drama to social media.

Additionally, the cast is only paid episodically, meaning if they miss an episode, they miss a pay day.[23]
