#RHOC Recap: Kelly Dodd Unleashes On Pot Stirring Meghan Edmonds In EPIC Blowout!
It’s the day after St. Patrick’s Day and The Real Housewives of Orange County ladies are out and about. We begin with Meghan who is shopping for a crib with a hungover Kelly. Turns out, baby Aspen doesn’t have a crib because mommy and daughter have been co-sleeping — Jim too — on the rare occasion he’s home. Kelly informs Meghan that in between make-out sessions with Shannon yesterday, during the scotch chugging no doubt, Shannon tried to record their conversation. Kelly says she’ll get to the bottom of this shady shit, but we all know Shannon can barely operate a phone.
Next up, Peggy and her daughter Gia are on their way to New York to check out the college she was accepted into. Diko won’t let Peggy take her $60K purse because he doesn’t want her to get jacked. Poor Peggy. She will have to suffer with a $10K purse. Life can be so cruel. We learn that Peggy attended UCLA and her major was English as a second language. Diko doesn’t think Gia will actually move to NYC and feels this is just an expensive shopping trip he’s paying for under the guise of an education. He tells Peggy not to shop, but we all know she will. Charge!
Kelly is in the kitchen with her mom and tells her that she told Meghan about Shannon recording her at their St. Patrick’s Day drunk-fest. And what did Meghan do? She called Shannon to tell her this. And how does Kelly know? Shannon called her to say she didn’t record her. Kelly handled the situation like a grown woman and accepted Shannon’s explanation, that she can barely place a phone call, let alone record something. Kelly calls Meghan to say, WTF. Meghan explains she called Shannon to create drama to help ease the tension. Meghan admits she shouldn’t have done this.
Later in the week, shit-stirring Meghan is lunching with Vicki. The ladies are at an outdoor café discussing how perfect Aspen is. But then Meghan brings up Peggy’s Lamborghini party and tells Vicki she was acting like a victim. Vicki confirms she is the victim in this situation because she wasn’t part of any cancer scam and didn’t benefit from said cancer scam. The rumors of Eddie being gay and David being a wife-beater have been around for-ever. Vicki only repeated them, but she does agree she shouldn’t have told Kelly that David is a wife-beater. Meghan says she’s not sure what to think and needs to talk this over with Jimmy — when he can pencil her in.
Tamra and Shannon are shopping at a costume shop. Some of the ladies will be attending a drag queen bingo event and Shannon wants to dress as Bret Michaels. The other women don’t know they too will be dressing as men, and spoiler alert, they are not attractive men. Shannon receives a call from Meghan, who is dying to share the gossip about her lunch with Vicki. Somehow, Tamra and Shannon say this only proves their point, which it doesn’t, and flashbacks are shown of Shannon from last year’s reunion explaining she was drunk and walked into a door. Hopefully, the alleged text messages that prove David hit Shannon will be revealed this season. The suspense is killing me! Meghan tells Tamra and Shannon it’s not hard to be a good friend — even though she has no idea how to be one.
It’s time for the drag queen bingo and Shannon and Tamra are getting their man makeup professionally applied. Tamra’s blacked out front tooth really nails the trailer trash look. Lydia and Kelly arrive and are not feeling it, but give it a try, even though this is against Lydia’s religion to dress like a man or converse with drag queens. Lydia looks like an Oompa Loompa Charlie Chaplin in her top hat.
Over at Vicki’s house, her boyfriend Steve is cooking dinner. What a guy! Steve fills her love tank and then some. Vicki wants to go boat shopping with her new man and go half on a $45-50K boat. Steve is down. You know that saying, first comes boat, then comes marriage, then comes yacht in the trailer carriage? Vicki tells Steve her friend is coming to town and she is ready to whoop it up. Steve doesn’t know what this means and had better learn fast because Vicki doesn’t do boring.
The four “men” are ready to party in the limo-van. Vicki wasn’t invited, Peggy is out with Diko, and Meghan is meeting them there. They talk about Meghan stirring up drama on the way to the event, which is at a gay bar, and the drag queens look way more natural than the faux men. Meghan arrives and double pumps her breasts as she gets dressed as a man. Jimmy must be so proud. Tamra’s pot-stirring psychic Scott is there — the one who predicted Brooks didn’t have cancer. Lydia is practically repeating the Ten Commandments in her head as a coping mechanism — thou shalt not hyperventilate. Scott the psychic, tells Kelly that her days are numbered as Vicki’s friend. Kelly sees through his bullshit reading and senses that Tamra told Scott to say that.
Peggy is back from New York City and out to dinner with Diko. Diko wishes his daughter wouldn’t move so far away. Peggy says Armenian dads are very protective of their daughters. Hey Peggy, so are American dads. Diko does his best to make Peggy feel bad for empowering their daughter, but it doesn’t work.
Back at drag queen bingo, Lydia calls out a false bingo and is supposed to get a spanking by a drag queen, but her head will implode, so Shannon takes one for the team. Kelly and Meghan get into an argument because Kelly says she’s never done anything mean to Meghan. Meghan brings up the text Kelly sent about Jimmy cheating on her when she was seven months pregnant. Kelly is like, Meghan you started it, and pulls out the receipts to prove it.
As Kelly reads the texts from Meghan, Lydia slinks off to the bathroom to sprinkle some holy water and pray for the heathens the ladies. Somehow, Shannon finds a way to blame Vicki for Meghan’s and Kelly’s fight — not Meghan? A fed up Kelly then unleashes — she blasts Meghan for leaving her newborn baby at home to spread gossip among the group.
Meghan and her mustache scamper off to the bathroom, while Shannon scolds Kelly for dissing the new mom. Meghan washes off her makeup, turns on the waterworks and jumps into victim mode. A whimpering Meghan waves goodbye to the ladies — and tells Kelly, ‘take care’ but Kelly could care less.
Tune in next week when Gretchen and Lizzie return and the drama goes down at Vicki’s birthday party!
