Tensions rise after Joe and Melissa Gorga claim Louie "f---ed" them in a business deal. Teresa claims that her brother caused her to lose a quarter million dollars.

It is beginning to look as though Teresa Giudice, Luis Ruelas will never be able to mend fences again with Joe Gorga's wife Melissa. Every time they try to resolve their differences, it turns out that a huge fight breaks out instead.

This is exactly what happened on Tuesday's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" hour. The foursome were once again discussing why Melissa's relatives weren't invited at Teresa and Louie’s wedding. The pair were skeptical when Margaret Josephs revealed to Joe and Melissa that Louie had tried to invite Melissa's mother to the luau celebration the night before.

"Is that true? Does Louie really believe Teresa is wrong?" Melissa asked Joe, and Joe replied that Louie is a mix of nice guys and dicks on occasion. Melissa was not impressed.

Joe continued to make fun of his brother-in law in confessionals. A producer asked if there was something between them that viewers didn't see. Joe said "Yes" before Teresa and he shared their stories.

Giudice said, "I've kept mine mouth shut all these years, protecting the peace of my brother and I'm so tired and it's been killing me. I'll tell the truth." "This pizza oven was an idea of my brother, which I wanted to do with my sister. So Louie agreed and put out 250K."

"But then Louie spoke to our attorney, and asked him, "What percentage should Joey give?" My brother was a mad man. She continued, "He wanted 50%." "I called my brother and said, "[Louie] put all the money out.' Louie then took the loss."

She said that her fiance lost 25% of her fortune in a business deal and she had warned him not to mix family and business. My brother said that if you want half of the money, you must put in half. He didn't want it."

Joe shared his perspective and said Louie "screwed" him with the pizza business.

He said that it was his idea of honoring their father by creating a line pizza ovens called Nonno’s Pizza. Joe said that he had placed orders with Louie for the ovens and learned from a relative that Teresa had taken a photoshoot of the product with her daughters. He called it "Skinny Pizza" or something.

"When I found out, I called Louie and then Louie starts to give me some lip. My sister suddenly asks me, "Did you put any money up?" "What, you think that I couldn't raise 200k?" He continued, "It was my f---ing plan." It got very ugly. My sister yelled, and I said, 'This why you don’t do business with your family.' Bulls---. If you trust others and aren't looking to cheat, you can do business with them. This is not what I wanted. It's terrible. It's terrible. You would think that she would just make it right.

Melissa called Teresa "selfish" and said Joe thought "they stole the idea from them."

The wedding invitation drama was again brought up later in the show when the whole cast met for another party. Teresa claimed her brother was "making an mountain into a hull" or making a mountain out of a hill. She also said that Melissa and he should have called Teresa and asked her to invite her family, rather than expressing anger to everyone.

Joe was even told by her that Melissa would have invited Melissa’s mom "ina heartbeat" to address the issue directly. However, the fact that they were ignored in the first instance still upset Joe and Melissa.

"This wedding was beautiful, but it's also been as if bombs were going off." Your mother has been nothing except beautiful, sweet and kind to us and our boys," Louie told Melissa. He grabbed Melissa for a one on one... but Teresa interrupted to her frustration. Giudice snapped at him, saying she was "ruining an instant", before asking her to respect their space.

Teresa left briefly while Joe and Louie sat down together to try again to forge a peace treaty among all the parties. T told Melissa that Melissa had "daddy problems" and she joined the group to discuss it. Although Teresa was angry with her sister-in-law and brother-in-law for not doing enough to stop Margaret bringing up Louie's history on the show, Melissa and Joe stated that they were equally frustrated at them.

After the conversation went nowhere, Melissa told Teresa that she hates when Teresa talks bulls ---". This caused T to stand up and shout Louie to "fix it." Gorga stated that Teresa had "deep hatred in her heart" and Joe then asked his sister why she was being "so mean".

"This is your blood. Jennifer made fun of him, and you chimed-in," Melissa said, referring to Jennifer Aydin's last season calling Joe a "bitchboy". Louie replied, "She called your bitch boy but you're playing the game real well," prompting Joe to get up from his chair and shout, "Shut down!"

The business deal drama was brought up by Louie, who said that he "f---ed" him just months after their first meeting. "Stop the f---ing up. He said that his family was the greatest disappointment in his life.

Joe and Melissa left the party. But, they couldn't get out the driveway because Louie, the car of all cars, was blocking their exit. Joe was forced to go back in to ask Louie to move the car. But he snapped when he realized that Teresa and Louie were speaking to "dirty Margaret". Louie, who was teasing Joe and pushing Gorga away, shouted, "Get off my back, I'm going to f---ing punch you in the face!"

Joe got into Louie's faces, and Ruelas told him to "Stop please." Before they could move Joe's car, Ruelas told him to "Stop, Stop, and Stop. It's not worth the effort." Louie continued to plead for Joe and Melissa about how much he wanted them to be a part of Teresa and Joe's future lives.

Melissa was the last to finish the night. She could be heard saying "I'm exhausted Joe" as the episode ended.

"Real Housewives of New Jersey” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
