#RHOC Recap: Peggy and Kelly Face off Over Meddling Accusations!

It’s surgery time on The Real Housewives of Orange County for Kelly, and we are along for the ride. She’s getting her knockers knocked down a few sizes and the new ones knocked up. Michael is playing the role of the dutiful husband for the moment. Kelly is down for the count, the old implants are out, the new ones are in, and the loose skin is tightened. Hooray!

Across town, Shannon is huffing and puffing while cursing at a pre-recorded instructor on her new spin bike. It’s clear Shannon hates to work out — I mean anyone with eyes can see that. And then she nearly falls off the bike.

Later at home, Vicki stops by with flowers and to give Kelly a few compliments she won’t remember. Vicki tells Kelly to only take the pain pills for two days and then quit. I mean really, that’s all Kelly needs is a pain pill addiction.

We check in with Tamra and Meghan, who are shopping because Meghan is no longer the same size post baby – she’s bigger. (Insert shit-eating grin.) Meghan shares with Tamra that she’ll be visiting Kelly after their shopping trip. Tamra is surprised because she would never do that after what Kelly said to Meghan the night they were all dressed like unattractive men. Tamra is the queen of grudges, as you know, but Meghan is ready to move on.

Now it’s Shannon’s turn to visit Kelly. These two have been through a lot and now that Kelly has shown remorse via groveling, Shannon is ready to bring flowers as a peace offering. Kelly has just thrown up – too bad she couldn’t wait five minutes – but she still wants to know what happened with Lydia and Shannon.

Back with Tamra and Meghan, and Tamra is recounting the same Lydia story, but throwing her good pal, Shannon, under the bus by saying that Shannon’s bottomless pit of need is getting to her. Meghan points out that both sides of the Lydia/Shannon argument are stupid. OMG! Write this down people, Meghan Edmonds is right.

Back with Kelly, in a talking head confessional, she says she sympathizes with Shannon being an unhappy wife. She and Michael have had their moments, and are still having their moments, but at this particular moment Michael is trying to be charming.

Over at Peggy’s house, she teaches Gia to roll up sarma. It’s like rolling a blunt, and can I just say, Gia is a natural. Once again, however, we need to have an English lesson with Peggy. It’s Cheech & Chong, not cheecheechong. Sigh. Meanwhile, Diko is against Gia moving to New York City.

Kelly has received so many beautiful bouquets, but Meghan brings her a basket full of crap. She gives Kelly the new bra from Tamra and when Kelly offers to show the new mom her post surgery boobs, Meghan’s face freezes in horror. That would be a no. Meghan and Kelly make up from their petty fight and the two gently hug it out.

We are now with Lydia as she tells Doug about his balls-voyage party. My God would this thing happen already? Pass the scissors, would you. Doug’s okay with this party as long as it’s a small like his balls. They can only accommodate 12 people on their boat. Seriously? They have a boat, too? Man the magazine business is good. Lydia calls Vicki to invite her, but she is super, super sick and can’t go. While the two chat, Vicki hacks up a lung so Lydia gets off the phone because she’s afraid she’ll catch it via cell tower.

Some of the ladies are dining out. Kelly and her new boobs are there. So is Meghan, Shannon, Tamra and Peggy. Peggy announces she’s next to have her boobs reconstructed, so Meghan tells Peggy that she was by her mother’s side for her entire double mastectomy and reconstruction. Meghan says her BRCA test was negative, but it turn out, Peggy’s was negative, too. This catches Meghan off guard because why take the ta-tas if the test is negative? Meghan asks Peggy if she had cancer – which is none of her business – Peggy says her tests revealed abnormal cells.

So everyone at the table is a little confused. Kelly asks Peggy, did she or did she not have cancer. Peggy says yes. Three millimeters of cancer. Shannon is also a little confused because she was told by Peggy they didn’t find anything. Here’s the thing, Peggy’s mom died from breast cancer — she shouldn’t have to explain if she doesn’t want to.

Meghan tries to share that her aunt had the same lump thing too and when she made the difficult decision to…what’s that Peggy? There was no lump? No nothing? Okay, now we are all confused. Just then, Tamra gets a phone call from Lydia. I’ve never been so happy to hear from Lydia. Shes asks where her invitation to dinner is, and Tamra blames Shannon. Kind of funny, but not cool if this is your best friend. Lydia invites the ladies to Doug’s balls-voyage party. Shannon asks if Vicki is going, and once it’s established she isn’t, Tamra says she’ll go. The call is cut off (like Doug’s balls will be) and Lydia whines that she needs new friends.

Back at the restaurant, Shannon tells the ladies that Lydia actually called her to apologize after their argument at Kelly’s, but that wasn’t good enough for Shannon. Instead of saying thank you, Shannon lectured Lydia on her dismissive ways.

And faster than you can say, pour me another Pinot, the heat switches from Shannon to Peggy for her attempt to block Shannon when she tried to interfere help Tamra during her confrontation with Vicki. Kelly jumps onto the Peggy-bashing train by telling Peggy it wasn’t her place to get in the middle of the girls’ fight at her house and calls Peggy the “peanut gallery.” Peggy has no idea where this section of the art gallery is that serves peanuts, but patiently explains she wasn’t in the middle, she was on the far right, standing behind Tamra.

Kelly is like…bitch didn’t you go to UCLA? And Peggy is like, Next. Peggy thinks she’s being tested, however, Tamra is liking this feisty Peggy. And bonus, since she’s about to dump Shannon, Peggy could be her replacement friend.

Peggy excuses herself to go to the bathroom and all the woman talk smack about whether Peggy did or didn’t have cancer. When Peggy returns they immediately stop slamming her and switch to laughing about Vicki and her Influenza B. Peggy is the only one who sticks up for Vicki while Meghan thinks she’s so clever to say she wants to see Vicki’s medical records.

Tune in next time as, Vicki and Tamra set up another coffee date to clear the air.
