A lot of the drama on The Real Housewives of Orange County lately has been about Vicki's habit of spreading lies and how it's landed her in hot water. But in this sneak peek clip, we see that it's Kelly Dodd's turn to get herself into trouble. Take a look as the aftermath of her “joke” leaves Shannon complaining of a head injury and blurry vision. A classic part of each Real Housewives season is that travel. It wasn't so long ago that seeing the ladies from Orange County travel meant seeing Shannon have a full-on meltdown. (Which, of course, was followed by Tamra screaming at her) Hey, it was hot — the AC was out in their villa. Anyone would lose their minds. (I'd be finding a kitchen and sleeping in a walk-in freezer) This time, as you can see on the video, Shannon's at the center of drama again, but she's not blaming the heat. The set-up is: Villa 7 houses Kelly Dodd, Emily Simpson, and Braunwyn Windham-Burke. Meanwhile, Villa 14 accommodates Shannon Storms Beador, Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, and Gina Kirschenheiter. The ladies were supposed to do a meditation retreat. Unfortunately, Kelly's idea of a “joke” meant whacking Shannon on the head. Call us old-fashioned, but meditation is usually supposed to be a non-violent activity. “How's your head?” Tamra asks her friend as the ladies make their way through the dark back to their lodging. (That's a great set-up for a joke, because you're supposed to answer well I haven't had any complaints , but Shannon's in no mood) “It hurts,” Shannon laments grimly. She then responds to the “how's your chakra” question with an honest “I don't know.” The crown chakra is located at the top of the head, according to religious and spiritual practices that acknowledge the chakras. “I can take a joke any day,” Shannon assures viewers while speaking to the confessional camera. “But there's a certain line that you cross with jokes,” she points out. “And,” Shannon continues. “Getting physical with anyone isn't funny.” At this point, the ladies have entered the villa where they are being treated to a tasteful candlelit ambiance. But that doesn't mean that they drop the subject of Shannon's head. “It hurts so bad right here right now,” Shannon complains, holding the back right part of her upper cranium. “I don't want to scare you,” Tamra says before scaring the daylights out of her. “But,” the fitness fanatic continues. “My ex-husband got hit in the top of the head.” (She is not referring to Simon Barney, but to her terrible son Ryan's father) “And then,” Tamra narrates. “His spinal fluid started leaking.” “Are you being serious right now?” Shannon asks, incredulous. It's not clear whether she's shocked that such a thing could go wrong, or that Tamra would bring it up when she's already worried. Tamra explains to the camera that her ex's mild bump (he hit his head on the roof of the company truck while going over a bump) was serious. Having dismissed that and the ensuing headache until her ex went to the hospital, she's genuinely worried about her friend. Then, Shannon reports: “My left eye is blurry.” Shannon does admit that she only discovered this after removing her contact lenses. When she shines a light in her eyes, Tamra complains “well, they're dilating because you're shining a light in them.” That's actually a good thing, folks. And while we're no doctors, our guess is that Shannon doesn't have a concussion — just a bump. But it doesn't hurt to be careful, folks. We'll see what Shannon does next on the actual episode.
