‘RHOC’ episode 3: Surprise dinner guest, flying plates, and crying

Emotions will be at an all time high on the next episode of RHOC. We’re going to need an extra glass of wine to handle the yelling and crying.

In what will be the most explosive episode of the season so far, Real Housewives of Orange County fans are in for some big-time drama on Monday night. Tamra Judge promises will be one of the “most dramatic episodes” she’s ever seen and, from the sounds of it, she’s not lying.

Season 12 is just getting underway but it didn’t take long for the ladies to start screaming at each other and throwing things. That’s right — dinner plates will be flying and the ladies of the OC will be crying on Monday night. Hopefully, it’s not the good china. Here’s what fans can expect when RHOC episode 3 airs Monday night.

Guess who’s coming to dinner?

On Friday, Tamra revealed on Instagram that she just watched episode 3. Apparently, someone will be hosting a dinner and Kelly Dodd shows up unannounced. Tamra mentions “flying plates” and uses the hashtag #OhShit.

Three words: We. can’t. wait.

Peggy and Shannon get emotional

Aside from Kelly Dodd making dinner a sh*t show, RHOC fans will see two ladies open up about their struggles. We already know what Shannon is going through with her weight and it will be a major part of her storyline this season.

More from Champagne and Shade

Weight gain is never an easy thing to talk about and she’s even warned the social media trolls to lay off. Expect some tears to be shed during Monday night’s show.

The tears will start flowing when Peggy starts to open up about her recent double mastectomy.

In her Bravo blog, Peggy Sulahian admits that she was “caught off guard” when Lydia asked her about her surgery.

Peggy, who says she is a private person, now realizes that nothing is off limits when you’re on a reality TV show.

At least her situation can be used for the greater good, educating fans about the importance of mammograms and self-exams.

Can we talk about Lydia?

It’s not clear why Lydia is back and what her storyline will be. Is it possible that she will be the one to stir up the drama under the guise of being the “friend whisperer”? It sure sounds like it. Her attempt to bring everyone together is already backfiring.

This is the Lydia of her first season. Tries to come off all nice, but always is a meddler. No storyline.
