In the latest episode (April 2) of 'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation', the cast was all set to give a big surprise to Mike Sorrentino with a movie based on his life. While the idea was unique, the cast knew they had to make the event exciting to make it look like a movie premiere.

For this, the cast ordered various props that would make anyone think that they had really arrived at a movie premiere. However, a tragedy cast a cloud of gloom over the fun that the family had been planning. While the cast was setting up things for the premiere, Pauly D realized that there was a bunny that had died. 

Seeing this, Deena Nicole Cortese could not control her tears and broke down crying. Deena has always been the emotional one in the family and for her to lay eyes on that, the cast knew that she would not be able to control her emotions. 

To make things worse, she is a big animal lover and seeing someone hurt really distressed her. While the others were shocked by the incident, they felt bad that Deena had to see it.  The girls thought that it would be apt to have a funeral for the rabbit, so Nicole Polizzi and Angelina Pivarnick then took a shovel and dug a hole to bury the animal. 

Everyone surrounded the place and paid their respects, but Deena was still finding it hard to control her emotions. She could not get over the fact that the bunny was too small and had lost its life too soon. However, seeing that the rabbit had a proper burial, she felt a little reassured.

The other cast members also paid their respects, since they knew that it was all they could do for it. While Deena found it hard to get a hold of herself, she knew that she had to do so to start working on Mike's big surprise. 

The cast tried to put the situation behind them and started working once again to make sure that Mike had the time of his life when the movie premiered. 

'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation' airs on Thursdays at 8 pm ET on MTV.
