Wondering where the action was in Monday's season premiere?

Wayne was featured a few times in "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" season three premiere, thanks to new cast member Kathy Wakile. Viewers went inside her Wayne home and met her husband Rich and children Victoria and Joseph. Viewers also followed Wakile on her bike to Corrado's Market to pick up clams and vegetables for dinner.

Episode one starts and ends in The Manor in West Orange for Melissa and Joe Gorga's son Giuseppe's Christening party.

Flash back one week and travel to Joe Giudice's restaurant, Giuseppe's Homestyle Pizzeria, in Hillside for a book signing for "Skinny Italian."

The show then heads to Hoboken: The Manzo boys give a tour of their new bachelor pad—and break the news to Mama Manzo that Chris and Albie are moving out on their own.

Next stop: Manhattan for a visit to Ashley's unpaid internship at the West 33rd Street offices of Lizzie Grubman PR. After a tearful talk with her mom and her boss about how hard it is to commute from Franklin Lakes to the city every day, Ashley and Jacqueline go around the corner to meet Chris Laurita at the Skylight Diner (where the waterworks continue).
