Jersey Shore: JWOWW Proposes a 'Feast of Peace' amid Rising Tensions as Snooki Calls Out 1 Man's 'Shady' Behavior (Exclusive)

Your favorite Jersey natives have returned to The Shore!

In PEOPLE's exclusive first look at Jersey Shore Family Vacation, the cast is back and better than ever after the shocking first half of season 7. Though fans saw a bombshell confrontation between Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, season 7's second installment will "be the most revealing yet."

"From the sandy shores to the neon lights of Sin City, the squad is taking fans on a rollercoaster of emotions as they navigate life's biggest milestones – from parenthood and adoption to engagements and heartbreaks," a press release reads.

In addition to making "unforgettable memories" and facing "unexpected challenges," the cast will live it up in their trips to Las Vegas, New York City and Miami.

"We're back!" the cast cheers before the trailer transitions into a clip of Jenni "JWOWW" Farley, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Deena Cortese and Angelina Pivarnick gathered around a table.

"There's a lot of drama over the years, so tonight, a feast of peace," JWOWW smiles as the rest of the ladies react in unexpected shock.

In a private conversation with cameras, Snooki laughs, "Like b---, do you want us to fight now or later?"

The clip transitions into a shot of the group aboard a boat in Miami. After DJ Pauly D Delvecchio exclaims, "I love a yacht this time of year!" Sammi rips open her t-shirt and the gang heads to Las Vegas.

In addition to the drama that'll undoubtedly unfold, the longtime friends also take time to celebrate the happy moments in their lives. The crew attends Sammi's engagement party and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino takes fans on his book tour.

Elsewhere in the trailer, Snooki goes into protective mode when she stand up for a friend. Over drinks, she tells a man, "I think you're shady, I think you use her. You don't love her."

As for Vinny Guadagnino, the reality star sets out to become a stand up comedian — even though some of his jokes fall flat.

"I'm a reality star transitioning into a comedian. My pronouns are, ha, ha," he says before crickets play in the background.
