For starters, its lovely to see Tamra and Eddie together.

He can tell her to calm her ass down and she actually abides.

Shannons new neighbor is none other than Kelly Dodd.

Its painfully obvious the reason behind Kellys emotionally charged outbursts this season is her emotionally torturous marriage.

Its hard to watch them interact because the dislike they have for each other is palpable.

Theres no love there and very little, if any, respect.

The enigma that is Kelly is starting to become clear.

Shes not crazy; shes being driven crazy by her marriage.

A marriage that, I think, she views more as a punishment than a partnership.

NEXT: Jimmydoeshave a heart!

They ultimately divorced when Kelly was 26, and her mom was miserable every minute until it ended.

Its amazing how my entire perception of Kelly changed tonight.

Shes still telling mixed tales about Brooks and his cancer.

She wants to prove to the world especially other cancer sufferers that she wasnt in on Cancer-gate.

She swears he had a hole drilled in his side for a cancer-related procedure.

Were back to this?

Can we c’mon never use the C-word on this show ever again?

But first, of course, the ladies cant help but get some gossip out of the way.

Vicki wasnt surprised, because apparently, its common knowledge Shannons monster-in-law WANTED DAVID TO STAY WITH HIS MISTRESS.

Because his mother knew the mistress quite well.

Because David used to take the mistress out to dinner WITH HIS MOTHER AND SISTER.

It was just their 10th wedding anniversary, and he didnt even buy her a card.

She bought herself a purse and he thought another man got it for her.

I feel so bad for Kelly its like shes being held hostage and has Stockholm syndrome.

A lightbulb goes off for Tamra as she finally understands why Kellys behavior has been so unpredictable.

Tamra and Kelly have way more in common than they ever realized: Michael is just like Simon.

Though Simon did take away their daughter, at least he let Tamra divorce him.

Finally, Shannon and David are somehow having a solo dinner date like 10 seconds after they moved.

The topic of conversation quickly turns to the drama his mom caused at the LOCK concert.

Shouldnt it make her more sympathetic to her daughter-in-law, since they have this in common?

But with that being said, shouldnt his mom be more upset he followed in his fathers footsteps?
