#RHOC Recap: Shannon Beador Throws Plate At Kelly Dodd During Explosive Dinner Blowout!

I have been waiting for this episode all week! The Real Housewives of Orange County restaurant showdown is finally here. Unfortunately, we are still at Ava’s one year-old birthday party. Gah! I want to go home. After Shannon storms off, Tamra tells Lydia that the “bright light and lost soul” is in a “fragile state.” David goes out to the limo to see WTF just happened. Shannon screams that she is nothing like Vicki Gunvulson. Do you hear her, David? NOTHING! Noth-ing.

Up next is Peggy whose husband Diko is helping her put on her designer high heels because she’s still in pain from the reconstructive surgery and wearing flats didn’t occur to her. But Peggy’s feeling well enough to scold her son for playing ball in the house. Let’s hear it for normalcy. The couple leaves to go to Peggy’s doctor’s appointment.

Across town, Vicki is checking out the new office digs with her business partner Ali who is helping her build her empire. Vicki wants surveillance cameras everywhere so she can spy on her employees, and this time when they steal thousands of dollars, she will catch them. How many people have burned Vicki in the past? Vicki says Brooks and Tamra, so that would be two.

We are now at Peggy’s doctor’s appointment discussing how big her new boobs will be. Finally, something to get excited about. Peggy’s looking forward to her bigger and better size called, Wowza. Diko is all for bigger boobs, but not if he has to purchase his wife a new wardrobe. Diko then gives the obligatory, his wife is his soulmate, with or without breasts.

Over at Doug and Lydia’s office, they are finalizing the new issue of Nobleman. Lydia is freaking out that this month’s issue won’t be ready on time and Doug can’t assure Lydia everything will be all right before they go on their Hawaiian vacation. Rich people problems. Lydia yaks on and on until she gives herself a headache. No rest for the weary, Tamra calls to give Lydia the 411 on crazy Shannon. To put it in biblical terms, when Lydia compared Shannon to Vicki, it was like calling her Satan. For shame! Lydia confirms she’s still in for dinner and bringing Peggy, and I have to ask, why did Peggy sign up for this?

Shannon calls Tamra, who is playing with a Guinee pig and pretending it’s her daughter, to find out if the dinner is still on. Shannon, who doesn’t yell, yells at Tamra that she is not a demonstrative teeth-grinder! Tamra tells her the dinner is still booked by producers a go and drama will be served.

Next we conduct our weekly welfare check on Meghan, Jim and Aspen. They are selling the OC house they purchased and remodeled two seasons ago because it’s too big (and they really live in St. Louis, but shhh). Jim is complaining about everything and not at all upset he is leaving Meghan for work. Meghan explains her theory to Jim that Aspen can see ghosts because she has just come from the spirit world. What Meghan is describing is how a baby’s eyes can trail off when she’s completely bored out of her mind.

Speaking of scary sights, we get to see Shannon stripped down. She is with Dr. Tim, the chiropractor, and he repeatedly says the word “wow.” And not in a good way, like Wow, look at that rainbow, more like, Wow, WTF happened to you Shannon. She tells Dr. Tim the excessive weight gain is from the stress of false allegations blah, blah, blah. Dr. Tim asks why she lets this bother her if it’s not true. Mmm-hmm. Okay, brace yourselves, but how much do you think Shannon weighs? 172 pounds. Wow. Isn’t she brave to put it all out there? Shannon has no idea how she let herself go this far. Dr. Tim asks how David feels about her weight gain, but Shannon doesn’t admit David has checked out. Dr. Tim says this can all be fixed by following one rule: make better choices with food and alcohol. Spoiler alert: Shannon breaks the one rule.

So last week I incorrectly called the Cruella DeVille black and white sports car a Mercedes when in fact it’s a Ferrari. Excuuuuse me. Peggy picks up Lydia in that car and off they go, wee, wee, wee, all the way to dinner. Lydia warns Peggy that she invited Kelly Dodd to dinner and she doesn’t get along with Shannon. Really? Lydia invited Kelly to dinner and she knows Kelly doesn’t get along with Shannon. Shit-stirrer, is what her tiara should say.

In the limo, Shannon tells Tamra about her weight gain and I’ve got to hand it to Tamra, her mouth didn’t hit the floor. Second spoiler alert: Shannon tells everyone tonight she weighs 172 pounds. The ladies, the waiters, the busboys, but says tonight will be her last hurrah. Tamra and Shannon are late and Shannon and Peggy get off to a rough start when Peggy says she doesn’t care about building a house for an extra room and non-toxic paint. Peggy suggest putting a humidifier in every room to fight toxins. Won’t work, but love her can-do spirit.

Lydia wants to clear the air. Shit! Where’s a humidifier when you need one. Shannon says she felt like she was attacked at the party by Lydia. Lydia says it wasn’t her intention to hurt her. Shannon pleads her case once again and Peggy gets whiplash following this conversation. As a last ditch effort for sympathy, Shannon announces she weighs 172 pounds. Peggy is like, What happened to you, and Shannon says, “It was alleged that my husband beats the shit out of me.” Most people wouldn’t know what to say to that, but Peggy says in her family it’s a joke that her husband beats her every Friday night. Get it? No? In the meantime, Shannon orders half the menu.

I’m a little skeptical of this next part, but two seconds after Shannon goes to the bathroom, Kelly walks in – and goes straight to the bathroom. I guess it could happen. And the bathroom is small. So Shannon tells Kelly how much weight she’s gained. Hey Shannon, you don’t have to keep saying it, we have eyes. Kelly goes into the bathroom stall and says, “We all have problems.” Shannon is like, Are we really going to do this – after I just told you how much weight I’ve gained. Shannon flips Kelly off, but Kelly can’t see it because she’s sitting down peeing like the lady she is. Lydia wants to hug it out and say a prayer, but first let’s make sure no one has a knife in their back pocket.

Lydia coaxes Shannon out of the bathroom and back to the table by telling her how pretty she is. Shannon says she was surprised to see Kelly, and Kelly is like, This is my bar and calls Shannon a nitpicker who always looks at life as a half empty glass of Grey Goose. Shannon tells Kelly she is a disgusting person and to walk away from her table.

Kelly says to Shannon, “Calm down. Maybe you need some hormones or something.” Them are fighting words so Shannon tells Kelly to eff you and read between the lines you effing bitch. Kelly gets up to leave, but as a parting gift tells Shannon to keep eating. Them are fighting words, too, so Shannon tosses her plate across the table. The manager comes over to quiet down the crazy yelling ladies. Once again we end an episode with Shannon saying, I’m done!

Outside, Lydia is devastated that she brought Peggy into this mess and Tamra tells Shannon that Kelly Dodd can suck hairy balls.

Tune in next time when Tamra’s son Ryan wants to thank his ex-step dad for being an asshole.
