Amid a heated discussion about Teresa, 49, and her sister-in-law's ailing relationship, host Andy asked Teresa to name some examples of times when she had 43-year-old Melissa’s back.

She replied: "I’m trying to remember when did I have her back", before all lights on the set cut out.

Andy, 53, remarked: "Oh, it’s our first reunion blackout!"

As the studio plunged into darkness, fans on Twitter gave their take on what happened.

FAMILY FEUD

Tonight's show was tense for the Gorga family, as Teresa's brother Joe Gorga stormed off the set and quit the show.

It came after she blasted him for being a “b***h boy”, an insult previously used by her friend Jennifer.

Tired of the name-calling, he wagged his finger and demanded: "You gotta stop putting me down!”

Joe then stormed off stage, leaving his wife Melissa behind as he hollered: "F**k you people!”

Bravo boss Andy tried to get Joe to come back, but his efforts were in vain as he replied: "You know what? I quit!”

BICKERING BRIDE

Before the dramatic exit, things got heated between Melissa and Teresa after the RHONJ OG revealed why she doesn't want her sister-in-law as a bridesmaid at her upcoming wedding to Luis Ruelas.

"This is the thing, honey, we’re not close", Teresa coldly explained.

";You’re my sister-in-law, but we’re not close.”

Melissa fought back tears as she opened up about the snub.
