Welcome to the world of Big Ang! After five years of running the Drunken Monkey. Ang has decided to give the bar a facelift in hopes of taking it to the next leve and drawing a younger sexier crowd.

It's time for the annual Drunken Monkey trip to Atlantic City! Big Ang leads a bus full of her patrons, bar staff and friends down to AC for a day of gambling, drinking and dirty dancing. Once they arrive, Ang steps away from the blackjack table to talk to her son AJ about his excessive partying, and tries to convince him to move back home with her. Back in Staten Island, Louie gets neutered, and with empty-nest syndrome in full swing, Ang contently nurses her little baby back to health. Ang's hopes of AJ moving home take shocking turn when she learns that her "little baby" has been arrested!

Big Ang's son AJ is released from jail and finally grants his mom's wish by moving back home, along with his rambunctious pit bull, Kilo. As AJ awaits sentencing, Ang reminisces with her sister Janine about their family's incarceration history, and hopes AJ will break the cycle by avoiding a prison sentence. When Ang isn't seeking solace from Lil Jen, Linda and Sandy the Plumber she is shocked to find out that Neil's large shoulders are truly there for her and AJ to lean on. AJ's sentence finally arrives, and becomes a sobering lesson for everyone about the downside of the lifestyle.

Big Ang's birthday is just days apart from Linda and Janine's birthdays, which usually means one week a year is packed with parties. But this year Ang decides to celebrate a little differently. She forgoes a birthday bash for herself and throws Janine a huge surprise party to thank her for being a great sister. Meanwhile, Linda drags Ang along to a motorcycle class, deciding that the best way to mark this birthday is to try something youthful, but all Ang really wants is to relax by her pool and be waited on hand and foot. So for her birthday present to herself, Ang hires a backyard cabana boy to fan her, feed her grapes and cater to her every whim.

Neil finally comes through with a present for Big Ang's birthday: he plans to get a tattoo -- of Ang naked! So Ang poses for her first nude photo shoot and insists that Neil can't see the image until it's already tattooed on his body.

Big Ang wants the Drunken Monkey to be mobbed seven nights a week, but Tuesdays and Wednesdays have been slow. After her "Wigged Out Wednesday" promotion flops, she comes up with "TuesGays".

Ang expands her growing empire with the grand opening of her beauty salon, "Big Ang's Secrets". Even though Ang and Neil are already married, Ang reveals that they never got engaged and wants a diamond engagement ring or they're through!
