In a sneak peek of Thursday's episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio discuss their mission to help their friend Vinny Guadagnino find a girlfriend. Pauly asks Mike about their plans for Vinny, expressing the need for him to have a girlfriend.
Mike and Pauly both agree that Vinny needs a partner, discussing it in a confessional. Mike playfully suggests that Vinny is getting older and implies that it may be time for him to consider settling down since he is the only single person in their group. While enjoying their family vacation at Margaritaville in Orlando, Pauly and Mike survey the hotel's pool, hoping to find a potential match for their friend.
Pauly inquires about the resort's potential, to which Mike optimistically replies, "Never say never."
They subsequently embark on "Operation: Find Vinny a Wife," engaging in conversations with various women enjoying their time by the pool. The initial encounter involves a mother and daughter duo reclining on lounge chairs. Pauly initiates a dialogue, inquiring about any single individuals they might be aware of among the hotel guests.

"My daughter is currently single, being 18 years old," the woman responds. Pauly quickly interjects, "Well, that's not going to be a suitable match."
While Mike and Pauly are busy with their task, Vinny stays behind with the rest of the Jersey Shore cast. He approaches Vinny Tortorella, Angelina Pivarnick's fiancé, affectionately known as Vinny 2.0, and requests him to take a photo of him near the pool for Instagram, mentioning his single status and desire to meet new people."
Pauly then approaches an older woman in hopes of finding assistance for their current task, as their previous attempts have been unsuccessful.
"MVP is not having much luck," Mike reveals in a confessional. "The majority of the crowd consists of families and couples, and I haven't spotted any attractive or available individuals to connect with."

While Pauly and Mike stroll by the pool, expressing their dissatisfaction, their conversation catches the attention of a nearby guest who gestures towards her single friend.
"This woman here," the stranger gestures towards a member of their group, "is Vinny's potential match. She's an experienced cook, a lovely Italian lady who specializes in making fried dough. And to top it off, she's Sicilian."
Mike and Vinny are amazed by this woman, Teresa, not only for her culinary skills but also for her ability to do laundry. Pauly playfully teases Vinny, implying that he struggles with this household chore. Excited, the guys return to the pool area to fetch Vinny and introduce him to Teresa.
Vinny expresses his contentment with Mike and Pauly taking charge, as they are aware of the kind of girl he is attracted to. He eagerly anticipates encountering the perfect match, a dazzling individual who would make him willingly sacrifice everything. Despite Teresa not aligning with his initial expectations, Vinny cordially greets her and engages in polite conversation.
“Well, she is perfect,” Vinny quips in the confessional. “She’s perfect to be my grandmother.”
