On Tuesday, a teaser for The Real Housewives of Orange County showed Shannon Beador complaining of head pain after a prank by Kelly Dodd.
It turns out that the prank may have had lasting consequences for both women.
Shannon races to the hospital after experiencing lasting head pain and blurred vision. And Kelly? She may just get charged with assault.
We have to start, of course, with Shannon’s health panic.
As the ladies headed for their stay in Arizona, Shannon was very intent upon this being a peaceful healing retreat.
In the mean time, Kelly spent the whole time making jokes about sex and dongs.
Seriously, before they even arrived, Shannon asked Kelly what she wanted to work on healing (you know, like “trust” or “self-love” or whatever).
Kelly replied that she had been on the receiving end of some satisfyingly vigorous sex, and therefore needed her genitals healed.
Shannon found this pretty annoying, while Kelly felt that she was being way too serious about what is, after all, a reality show stunt.
They went to do a sound bath, which is sort of a ritual for both healing and one’s own aspirations.
Unfortunately, Kelly was a bit ambitious for Shannon’s tastes, as when it came time to express their hopes, Kelly wanted her sparkling water business to do well.
“We are at a place of healing, and I feel as though Kelly’s making a mockery of it,” Shannon complained to the camera.
“Yeah, we all want success in our business,” she acknowledged. “But how superficial is that? Don’t mock the process.”
You don’t have to believe that a ritual will work to be respectful if you’re going to participate, you know?
Things got worse when the women were asked if they wanted to “stand in a motherbowl to clear your energy field and expand your aura.”
Shannon volunteered. She seemed really dedicated to healing, and she has a lot of stress from which to recover.
Kelly wasn’t feeling the same way … and decided to play an unfortunate prank on Shannon.
Using a short and decorated stick, she decided to give the metal bowl on Shannon’s head a whack. At first, Shannon thought it was part of the ritual.
Soon, however, Shannon was complaining that part of the ritual hurt, which is when Tamra revealed Kelly’s action.
Shannon was aghast, and continued to complain of having a headache from it.
As we discussed when we shared the sneak peek, Shannon pointed out that pranks should never get physical.
To her credit, Kelly truly didn’t believe that she had hit Shannon hard enough to cause any discomfort.
She even offered Shannon the opportunity to retaliate, which Shannon declined.
But as Shannon’s fears mounted that her headache could be a sign of something worse, she and Tamra departed.
It’s always better to be safe than sorry (if you have the means to not only have health insurance, but use it)
In the mean time, Emily and Kelly were astonished when they received a call informing them that Shannon was headed to urgent care.
Braunwyn diplomatically suggested that they not mock this move until they find out that Shannon is truly okay.
And at urgent care, an off-camera nurse asks Shannon if she wants to press assault charges against Kelly.
The suspense is killing us, but that’s why they left us hanging until next week.
Emily had her big Vegas show but was unhappy at how distant Gina has grown, despite Gina’s personal troubles.
And honestly? Emily seems a little jealous that Gina’s found the time to grow closer to Shannon.
Remember, Shannon couldn’t stand Gina last season.
In fact, Emily, Kelly, and Braunwyn are all bonding over how unhappy they are with Gina and Shannon’s friendship.
