‘Mob Wives’ Season 4, Episode 9: ‘Purgatory’

Mob Wives Season 4 Episode 9 Purgatory

“Mob Wives” season 4, episode 9: “Purgatory” premieres tonight on VH1.

In this week’s episode,  Natalie is having a blowout Halloween party at her funeral home and everyone is invited, including Renee, though Renee’s not so sure the invite is sincere. When Drita starts to lay down her lyrics for her hip-hop track, a surprise guest changes everything. Meanwhile, Ang and Neil discuss the next step in their plan to have a baby, putting all their options on the table, including “building one.” At Natalie’s Halloween party everyone looks terrifying, but the biggest fright comes from an unexpected text message from Renee. Drita and Ang are so offended, they confront Renee… with explosive results.

VH1 describes the series as:

“Mob Wives” is a docu-soap that follows the lives of four struggling, allegedly mob-associated women who have to pick up the pieces and carry on after their husbands or fathers do time for mob-related activities. The women are longtime friends who live in New York City’s “forgotten borough,” Staten Island. Along the way they battle their friends, families and each other as they try to do what’s best for themselves and their children. It’s not easy to maintain the lifestyle they were accustomed to when the family’s primary breadwinner is in lock up. From “The Godfather” to “The Sopranos” to ”My Cousin Vinny”, these women are sick and tired of the lies and stereotypes that exist about their lives. They’re determined to finally set the record straight and show the world once and for all that while their lives may seem crazy at first glance, they love, laugh and get their hearts broken just like everyone else.”

“Mob Wives” season 4, episode 9: “Purgatory” airs Thurs. Jan. 30, 10 p.m. EST, on VH1. Check out a sneak peek of the coming episode below.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
