Ronnie joined the roommates during their group trip to Nashville and was picked up at the airport by Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino, Paul 'DJ Pauly D' DelVecchio and Vinny Guadagnino.

'All right, Ron. Tell me how long you've waited for this,' a producer asked.

'Wow, it's been like almost two and a half years, probably,' Ronnie said in a confessional.

He added: 'The last two years being away was definitely a double-edged sword. You know, I was able to focus on myself. I'm doing therapy, parenting classes, AA meetings. Honestly, just a lot of self-care.'

'But at the same time, it was hard being away from my family. So, now I'm ready to show my roommates that I am becoming a better person. That's what I feel like this trip is, you know?,' Ronnie said.

He snickered when a producer asked if there was anybody else on his mind while coming back onto the show.

'I know that I'm gonna have to see Sam. We haven't seen each other in seven years, you know? There was no closure for us, so it's kind of weird. I just don't want it to be awkward, honestly,' Ronnie said.

Flashbacks were shown of Ronnie and Sammi as a couple during the original run of Jersey Shore on MTV and he was seen declaring that he was 'madly in love' with her.

The episode opened with a message to viewers that the word 'awkward' was going to be used repeatedly and revealed that it was used 237 times during the show.

Jennifer 'JWoww' Farley, 38, asked Sammi if she was good while the guys were retrieving Ronnie.

'I'm in a bad mood today,' Sammi admitted.

She added: 'I'm just, like, a ball of emotions. I'm not looking forward to spending time with this person that hasn't been a part of my life for, like, ever now. I just want to kind of figure it out so everybody can have fun, coexist, and get along together.'

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi, 36, to alleviate tension for Sammi took the girls to a Nashville studio to record a country song.

The guys asked Ronnie about seeing Sammi again and he said that it had been eights years since they saw each other.

'The last time we talked, it was just kind of like, we're done, and that was just it. I think that we both have grown. I know I've grown, and I've matured. And, you know, I'm hoping me and Sam could have a conversation. But, you know, we'll see,' Ronnie said.

Ronnie said he was  focused on seeing the guys and was hoping to at least coexist with Sammi.

The girls meanwhile ate at the studio and supported Sammi.

'Being on vacation with your ex is not ideal. We can coexist. That's where it ends. Sam and Ron is from the past,' Sammi said in a confessional.

Angelina turned the conversation to ease the tension and they ended up playing a game of 'name your price'.

'Oh, back in the day, I would do a lot for a little. So would everybody else,' Angelina said in a confessional.
