Ep 1. Heavy Meddling

After a successful first season, "Manzo'd with Children" is back for a second run with its premiere episode entitled "Heavy Meddling". The show, which focuses on the lives of the Manzo family, who were originally introduced on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," follows the Manzo children- Albie, Chris, and Lauren- as they navigate their 30s while still living at home with their parents, Caroline and Albert.

In this episode, the family is dealing with some major business news. BLK Water, which is owned by Albie and Chris, is facing financial issues and the brothers are feeling the pressure. Caroline, who is known for her no-nonsense attitude, is quick to offer her opinion on the matter, much to the annoyance of her sons. Meanwhile, Lauren is dealing with the stress of planning her upcoming wedding to fiancé Vito Scalia.

The episode kicks off with Albie and Chris discussing the struggles of their business and the potential consequences that could arise if they don't find a solution soon. As the brothers brainstorm ideas, Caroline overhears their conversation and jumps in with her own input. However, Albie and Chris are quick to shut down their mother, as they feel that she doesn't understand the ins and outs of their business.

While the boys may be hesitant to take Caroline's advice, they do recognize the value in getting a fresh perspective on their situation. They decide to seek help from a business consultant, which leads to some interesting revelations about their company. As the consultant helps the brothers understand the root cause of their financial issues, it becomes clear that they need to make some drastic changes in order to turn things around.

Lauren's wedding planning is also a major focus of the episode. As she struggles to choose the perfect bridesmaid dresses and navigate the complexities of wedding planning, Caroline steps in to offer her own opinion. However, Lauren is not as willing to push back against her mother as her brothers are, and she often finds herself feeling overwhelmed by Caroline's meddling.

Throughout the episode, tensions run high as the Manzos navigate their various conflicts and try to find a way forward. Whether dealing with business woes or wedding planning stress, one thing remains clear- this family is in it together and they'll do whatever it takes to support each other.

Overall, "Manzo'd with Children" season two episode one offers a fun and entertaining look at the lives of the Manzo family. With plenty of drama, humor, and heart, it's a great way to kick off the new season and keep fans engaged in the lives of this fascinating group of people.
