‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ preview: Shannon Beador’s birthday surprise

For a brief moment, let’s try to forget all of the terrible stuff that has happened as of late on “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” from the senseless drama to the super-loud arguments featuring Kelly Dodd and others over the past two episodes. After all, something good could be coming on Monday night’s episode! Prepare your gasps accordingly.

At some point during Monday night’s episode of the series, Shannon Beador’s husband David is going to be planning something nice for her for her birthday, and many of the other women could (insert one of those gasps here) come together to help her celebrate it. This is a good sign of how far her marriage has come over the past season or so, and maybe a sign of happy times to come on the other side.

Oh, and there are some other crazy things happening over the course of the hour as well. The synopsis below gives you a little bit of a sense as to what’s coming:

“After an explosive night at the sushi dinner, Heather and Tamra discuss Kelly’s volatile behavior as Kelly regretfully turns to her friend Meghan and receives some tough love.
