The final installment of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa Checks In” airs Sunday, and in a new sneak peek released Wednesday, the jailed reality star explains to her family the unexpected side effects of being in prison.
“Can I tell you what all the girls say here?” Teresa Giudice says in a phone call to her family, after making sure her daughters aren’t in the room. “After a while of being here, you turn into a virgin again.”
The suggestion that going without sex for so long could make sex “feel like the first time again” plants a seed in the mind of Giudice’s brother Joe regarding his wife. “In prison, their vaginas get tighter,” he says. “Maybe I’ll send Melissa there.”
She also shares that some of the other inmates hide homemade dildos from the guards for their own personal enjoyment.
“Well for the record, if it was me and I was in there for three days without it, I would probably die,” her brother says, sympathizing with the women’s need for relief.
“The Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa Checks In” is a chronicle of Giudice’s husband Joe and their four daughters and extended family during Giudice’s prison sentence earlier this year. for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud.

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa Checks In” finale air Sunday, Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
10 of Bravo's Biggest Hits and Misses (Photos)
Hit: Showbiz Moms & Dads (2004)
Though it only aired for one season, it spawned two spinoffs for the network and inspired copycats like "Toddlers and Tiaras."
Hit and Miss: Project Runway (2004-2008)
Its best years were arguably on Bravo, but how could they have let this gem get away from them?
Miss: Queer Eye for the Straight Girl (2005)
Unlike its predecessor, this spinoff didn't present anything new for viewers. What gal doesn't already have a gay bestie to advise her?
Miss: "Hey Paula" (2007)
No one watched Paula Abdul's reality series. But, it's trashtastic reality legend nonetheless. The former Laker Girl was fired from the "Bratz" movie on-screen and later accused Bravo of "creative editing."
Miss: "Chef Academy" (2009)
"Top Chef" had done well for the network. So why not create a show for amateur chefs? Fine idea, but did it have to be so contrived and over the top? One and done.
Hit and Miss: NYC Prep (2009)
This stab at bringing in a younger demo only aired for one season. But it was a well-made show that took its cue from the CW's "Gossip Girl" and continues to be a cult favorite.
Miss: Miami Social (2009)
Succeeded in making Miami a yawn. But in an attempt to salvage it for another season, "The Real Housewives of Miami" was born.
Miss: Kell on Earth (2010)
Actually well done, but Bravo overestimated the interest in sharp-tongued fashion PR maven Kelly Cutrone, who appeared on MTV's "The City" and "The Hills."
Miss: The Real Housewives of D.C. (2010)
The show is best known for White House party crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahai, but the bigger problem was that the women of D.C. society lacked the ability to let their hair down in true "Real Housewives" fashion.
Miss: 'Love Broker' (2012)
Is there room on the network for more than one matchmaker? The viewers voted no. After poor ratings, Bravo pulled "Love Broker" off its spring schedule and then burned off the episodes during the summer.
