Good evening y’all!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Hanukkah,Christmas, Kwanzaa (insert any holiday I may have missed) and that your 2019 is starting out happy and healthy. Here we are for the last serving of Married to Medicine this season. I am so sad it’s all over but it looks like the ladies are going out with a bang! We start where we left off, with Mariah dropping a bomb that Quad had an affair with her married brother-in-law. Andy is trying to get the ladies to stop screaming to see if we can get to the bottom of this; Quad is vehemently denying this accusation. This had apparently happened before Quad was married. Mariah insists that she would never lie to throw her sister under the bus.
Quad then accuses Mariah of doing drugs and Aydin is simmering in the background. His arms are crossed and he looks ready to pounce. Andy calls for a break and Mariah takes Aydin back to the dressing room. Aydin starts screaming in the dressing room about Quad being homeless and him having paid her bills. Wow. He is VERY upset. The ladies all discuss what happened and mostly concur that there are no receipts so they can’t believe it.
Speaking of receipts, Andy asks if anyone has seen the receipts against Damon but no one has seen them. No one believes that Damon cheated and he didn’t. Mariah says she accused Damon of cheating to get back at Heavenly going after Mariah’s mama. That was super low, I’m sorry. That is not the same thing AT ALL. Mariah apologizes for breaking the glass in Antigua and they both agree the low down dirty stuff is over. One can hope.
We next get a montage on how the ladies are so shady to each other. Jackie calls herself a palm tree because she’s willing to be shady to keep the ladies together. The ladies agree that Jackie and Mariah are the shadiest. They discuss Quad’s sex toy drawer and they cut to the men watching and laughing. Dr. G arrives in the men’s backstage area and the men are all happy to see him. Dr. G says that he and Quad haven’t talked since Quad filed for divorce. Dr. G is here to defend himself.
The next montage is about how the ladies found out about Quad’s divorce online and how Quad pulled away from them. Andy askes Quad if he thought the marriage could be saved when they left the reunion last year and Quad admitted she didn’t. She said she and Dr. G were very dark and toxic and she had no hope of her marriage working out. Simone said that her relationship with Quad has been strained for the past few years. Quad admits that she and Simone had grown distant and she didn’t feel like she could share her personal struggles with Simone.
Andy points out that Simone credits the ladies at the reunion last year for saving her marriage and Quad didn’t feel that kind of rally from the ladies. Jackie says she didn’t see Greg remorseful and wouldn’t support a toxic relationship. Simone comments that Quad can’t take any sort of criticism and they can’t support her blindly. Quad had said in the past that she was the star of the show and that upset Simone. Quad admits to saying that but says it was wrong, they all bring something to the show and hasn’t said it since. Andy says that he thought Kari was the star of the show and we get a season 1 flashback of her. The editors are the shadiest of them all! Haha.
Toya thinks that married men will stray if they aren’t fulfilled. They all jump on Toya for that but she feels that women are more committed than men. Toya feels that single women should hang out with single women and that Quad shouldn’t go on couples trips. Toya lays down the law that Quad cannot be friends with Eugene. Quad insists that she is the same person she was as a married woman and that she will go on couples trips to learn from good marriages. Jackie disagrees with Toya because she went on a couples trip vow renewal for Simone without Curtis. Toya is coming off as really, really insecure and old fashioned here. Quad wants to find the right partner and get married again. Quad isn’t dating yet but Heavenly and Toya are ready to hook her up when she’s ready.
It’s the men’s segment and we see the ladies get ready to watch backstage. The guy montage consists of their deep friendships, the Damon/Aydin argument, and Dr. G telling the men about the divorce. Cecil is happy how his relationship with Simone has evolved and Cecil is thankful to Andy for allowing the reconciliation to happen. Curtis says Jackie is getting better at cutting back on work stuff. Aydin gets roasted for always snitching on them to Mariah. Aydin says he’s just open and honest with Mariah about everything. Andy asks Damon how it felt to be accused of cheating by Mariah and he was very hurt by Mariah. Aydin insists Mariah was pushed into saying that. The men (minus Aydin) are so affable and likeable, I love what they add to the show.
It’s 9:54 and we are just now getting to the long awaited Quad/Dr. G sit down-it doesn’t bode well for a lot of information in just a few minutes. Wait, we’re still with all the guys! When Greg left the reunion last year, he was hopeful that his marriage could be saved. Aydin felt like he had to take sides with their divorce and Cecil concurs with Aydin. It’s not sides per say, so much as who to invite on trips, to parties and such. Backstage, Quad says that the divorce is very nasty and that they won’t be friends after it’s all done. It’s 9:58 and Quad comes out to meet with Andy and Dr. G alone. We get only two minutes of this???? They haven’t spoken since June and now I get it: we get another reunion! Ok pheeew! It’s not over y’all!
Next week: The Greg/Quad sit down happens, Toya and Contessa argue and Quad cries. I’m so happy I get to recap this next week and we get another week to discuss!! See y’all next week!!!
This is the best show on Bravo. I think I’m only Team Jackie. They’re all pretty flawed, but I can see the points that everyone brings up against the others.
Thanks for the blog post!
I totally agree Cho! This show is the best. I LOVE me some Jackie always!!! Palm tree or not lol. Thank YOU for reading and commenting!!! 🙂
Agreed. Best show wich means bravo will ruin it somehow
Haha I fear that too, especially with all the schedule changes towards the end 🙁
I haven’t seen this episode yet, but will today. I enjoyed your recap PopCulture.
Thank you! Let me know what you think about it when you watch =)
it is not the BEST show on bravo, but it is the best HOUSEWIFE show on bravo…..even though it isnt technically a housewife show. the women can really learn a lot from the men, but of course, they wont.
i am more team mariah than team quad. i do believe that dr huk probably did support and help quad when she was going through a bad time in her life. i also dont think that mariah would have lied about her sisters husband.
maybe i am old fashioned also. i find it a little strange that a single woman would go on vacation with all couples. find a boyfriend, find a male friend, but going alone is a bit weird. what would quad have to “learn” from being around them in a vacation situation? watch them in their natural environment, not when they are trying to relax and get along on a vacation.
glad that there will be a part 3!
Totally agree Maryann!
Oh yeah, Aydin was very personally hurt by what Quad said and I do believe him that he took care of her. It;s sad how Quad and Mariah are now. Hmmm…. I can see your point about Quad being single but she’s not a random “friend of”, she’s a cast member who gets paid per episode. I think she was trying to not break the fourth wall and say ” I need to be there” and said “I can learn” instead. Either way, Toya just screamed insecure to me when she was saying that. Thank you for reading, let’s reconvene Sunday after the final showdown!! =)
I like Quad but all of the other ladies are married (hence the title married to medicine) and a lot of the seasons revolve around the couples, their families and trips. Unless Quad finds a significant other I don’t see how she fits into the format of this show any more. She brought nothing this season and barely participated.
I agree, not sharing is really not a story line. If Quad were a dentist or physician it would make sense for her to continue on but she is neither married to the medical field or married to a physician.
I can understand when they do the couples’ trip not wanting Quad along. They are friends with her husband and there really is not a place for her during their relentless couples’ therapy dinners.
This format of a Reunion is the best on Bravo. Andy with the guys is great. Amazing how many of the guys don’t watch the show. Or claim not to.
I dont normally find myself agreeing with anything toya says or does however i would feel a type of way having a newly single quad around my man as well especially since she now knows what quad did with mariahs sisters husband. Allegedly
Thing is – wasn’t Mariah’s sister in Quad’s wedding to Greg? Both Quad and Mariah tend to lie or skirt the truth. Just like the stuff with Heavenly, “Yo Mommy is not as bad as saying someone’s husband, a doctor, is stepping out on them. Something that could damage his career not to mention their kids.
Course in my old neighborhood “Yo Momma” would have gotten your butt kick seven different ways from Sunday.
JLMW……..LOL!!!! Agree!!!! If ‘yo momma’ was even uttered all the females would start janking off their ear rings and taking off their shoes!!!! Ahhhhhhhh…….the good ole days……… 🙂
Bahahaha believe me, “Yo Mama” would have got your butt whooped in my hood too, but it really isn’t the same. These are doctors! lol. I think there is a LOT between Quad and Mariah that we don’t know and may never know but it goes deep.
Great recap. I wish they would stop changing the time it airs.
I still like Aydin, despite this episode. I think he is frustrated because he knows a lot about Quad and doesn’t like his wife being the villian in the Quad/Mariah relationship. He is also going to support his wife no matter what, even if it makes him look bad to others.
I like all of the guys, the ladies did a good job picking them.
I’m happy Simone and Jackie decided to work on their marriages.
I was hopeful that Toya was maturing, until this episode. I see her point, but it’s a bit extreme to totally exclude Quad as a single woman.
I admire the fact that Aydin came out to support Mariah, that’s a quality some men to get catch on too.
I really only run this show as background because Kelly recaps it here. I can’t keep them straight I only know which one is Dr. Jackie and then sort of sort it out from there. But I do know Aydin and I believe him when he says that Mariah? was homeless and living out of her car and he paid her bills. I don’t believe he would make that up. He seemed genuinely offended that after all he had done for her she would treat his with that way.
Thank you Rmicu! I agree I love all the guys. I can see how Aydin was hurt and it came out as anger. He will be down for his wife no matter what. Yes TT, I believe Aydin as well. His behavior freaked me out at first but I can see that it came out of genuine hurt that Quad would turn around after all he did for her and betray Mariah. I think there is a LOT of history there and most of it we won’t find out because they each know where t the other’s bodies are buried.
I haven’t watched it yet but I just love your recaps PC Kelly! I don’t believe anything Mariah says because she’s an admitted to being a liar a low down dirty one at that! She seems like the type of woman who becomes friends with you only to get the dirt on you to use against you later. Friends like that you don’t need! This season I felt bad for Quad having gone through a similar situation. You don’t know who you can trust. I think they need to keep this cast the same and move forward. Oh Bravo also needs to stop screwing around with the scheduling and keep the show on the same night.
Awwe thank you Pix!!! The fact that Mariah admitted to lying about Damon skeeves me out. She was so believable with the whole “I”ll bring the receipts!” swag walk and to find out it was a stupid tit for tat thing…just skeevy.
Agree! That was a lowdown dirty thing Mariah did, only to hurt DrD for some stupid thing Heavenly said. I understand that “your mamma” may have historical impact as an insult, but these are grown professional women — it was a knee-jerk insult by Heavenly that meant nothing.
Mariah should be ashamed and the others should really give her a hard time for it.
I never liked/trusted Quad. She seems totally out for herself. She never seemed to be devoted to the marriage. Greg seems like a creepy guy as well. They could both be gone.
Umm… she never said she lied!
There was not one point where Mariah admitted she lied, she simply chose not to go further.
When she claimed to have the receipts then didn’t present them, then said that she only said that Damon cheated as retaliation for the “yo mama” comment and apologized, it’s an admission that she lied. If she had the receipts they would have been shown and she never would have apologized to Heavenly.
Yes M2M is a good show. They seem to be the realist group out of the other housewives shows. I hope that doesn’t change by manufacturing storylines.
I’m more team Mariah and have never been a fan of Quad’s. Her demeanor is off-putting, not to mention the way she speaks. I do believe they helped support Quad financially and that’s why Aiden was so incensed. I believe Quad slept with Mariah’s brother-in-law. But I’m having a hard time understanding why Mariah remained friends with Quad if that was the case. And why would she bring her sister into this mess? A big piece of the story is missing here.
I don’t think Quad should attend the couples trips. Why would Quad want to attend alone? The trip is for couples who want to work on their relationship. Quad is not in a relationship.
I do believe Mariah has some info on Damon cheating but chose not to divulge it b/c damaging a marriage is serious business. Plus, it’ll make Mariah look bad.
Toya is shallow and desperately needs an identity outside of her marriage.
I was wondering if the reason that Quad was so set on going on couples trips has to do with pay? Do they get paid per episode whether they are in it or not?
And I think Toya needs to take several seats. She makes my skin crawl talking about what men want. She is certainly old school thinking she can control her husband by sex alone. A mud puddle is deeper than any thoughts she can crank out with that hamster powered brain of her’s. They just get out of debt with the IRS and her first thought is she HAS to have a two story closet. And I won’t go into how much she would have to spend to fill up that sucker.
Like Jackie and Conte, understand Heavenly a little more and have found Simone a disappointment this year. I’ve always thought she feels like she is better than her husband and kids and so they must ask how high when she yells jump. Still don’t know why Simone came at Contessa they way she did. That surgery is no walk in the park and each person is entitled to take as much time as they need to heal.
And Quad is just too much. Going out and spending money on a car without at least discussing with your husband. Quad was using him, she was never going to have a child, throwing fits because he didn’t take out the garbage and playing the victim 24/7. Greg was seriously wrong to cheat and it is good they parted company and not waste any more time on each other.
Agree with everything you said!
I hope they don’t change either because I agree with you Bosandi, they all have a deep enough history that nothing needs to be manufactored. I think the most history is between Quad and Mariah and yes, a HUGE chunk of the story is missing with the timeline and the story itself. Tons of great points T O’ksra! I feel like Quad needs the paycheck and if she can’t go on the couples trips, she misses out on the pay and potential storylines.
I have had MANY male friends over the years. Both platonic and former boyfriends. None of the friend’s women or old boyfriends’ new women have ever excluded me. Nor have they told the men to end our friendships. I bristle when I hear insecure women like Toya say Quad can’t be friends with her husband. But saying Quad shouldn’t go on the couple’s trips is BULLSHIT because BRAVO PAYS for the trips and if Quad remains a cast member, she should decide whether or not to go. I would like to see Quad move to RHOA. Get rid of stupid, boring, immature Porsha.
I totally agree! I was single for quite a while and non of my friends, male or female, ever had an issue with me hanging out with the couples or going on trips. It just screamed insecurity to me when Toya said that. Quad is a cast member, not a random single girl.
Why would anyone want to be the third wheel (odd person out). Are you that desperate to be included or is it that you don’t have a life? Personally I don’t like being around couples as a single person
It’s not desperation if it’s part of your job to go on these trips. And, personally speaking, I was never desperate to be included, my friends would have pissed at me if I missed out on having a great time just because I didnt have a boyfriend or husband to tag along. Self confidence and a fantastic group of friends makes a huge difference 🙂
HI PCK!!!!! How are you? Happy New Year!!!! Another great recap. I commented on Dallas and the first part of this reunion WAY after only because I am obsessed with a show called Schitts Creek on Netflix and I can’t watch it enough! LOL
Anyway, WOW!!!! Quad and Marah were OFF the CHARTS ! I feared that Aydin was going to have some kind of seizure on the side lines there. I think Heavenly was starting to fear for her life a bit! LOL. They are poster children for when a close friendship goes terribly terribly wrong. There is a whole lot of shade under those two trees for sure!
Toya, I don’t know what her deal is but she was coming off (to me) as one insecure and jealous woman when it came to Quad and Eugene. Saying they could not be friends. She was all over Quad and I am not sure I get it…
I do get the not coming on couples trips. That is just awkward and hard for the ladies there with their husbands. Then the feel like they need to “take care” of her. I get she wants the camera time and she is afraid of EXACTLY what Mariah said: She is no longer married to medicine so I am thinking there will be some dating of some kind of medical man in the future. OR as Contessa hinted during the season LOVE IS LOVE. LOL
I LOVE the men on the this show. I really do. Just because their friendships are so genuine and they are funny. I think they make this show along with the fabulous Dr. Jackie (whom I still wish I could have as a Dr.) . Heavenly truly grew on me this season and Simone grew away from me. So we will see where it takes us next season.
You did a FABULOUS job recapping. Entertaining, fun, kind and on target! Thank you so much for all you did. One more episode!!!!
So, how about our boys???? They are still hanging in there…AND it won’t be long before the boys of Summer are back!
Ahhh there’s my Sundayhare!!! I’m doing good, how are you??? Happy New Years to you too love!! Hahaha Schitts Creek is hilarious but I can’t binge it yet, I have to wait until I have the proper amount of time because I know it’s super good! Do you have Twitter? If so, please comment on my twitter so we can talk Schitts Creek and more on there: https://twitter.com/PopCultureKelly. We can talk Sox, Pats, Dallas and M2M! Toya is so insecure and projecting that onto Quad. It was insane. Jackie is THE BEST! I adore her and I still adore Contessa. Awwe you are the sweetest, thank you so much for the kind words!! I have loved doing it and this is the best part, meeting awesome people who love Bravo and it’s been such a bonus meeting a fellow Masshole!!! Hopefully we see the Pats in the playoffs and aaaahhh the Sox will be back before we know it!!!!
I love this show so so much. I hope the same as other commenters, that it gains its own stable time slot and that they don’t go the same route as the housewives and start manufacturing the drama.
Thank you for recapping PCK. Great recap, as always.
Quad is too intense for me. She also seems unwilling to get real. I also think she used Greg. As far as I am concerned, she can leave the show and I wouldn’t miss her.
Simone is usually my fave but thus season she seemed a little too bitchy for me. I hope she goes back to her old self next season.
Thank you so much Kel! I agree, it’s such a great show and deserves a stable time slot. Simone really dissapointed me this season, I agree with you about Simone and hope whatever prompted that change stops. I have loved her and I LOVE Cecil, so I’m hoping she reverts back to old Simone =)
Mariah continues to show her ass and why she is unlikable. Lying on Damon when he had nothing to do with her beef with Heavenly was wrong. Even if she were offended, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Maybe it’s because I dislike Mariah so much, but when Aydin had his meltdown I couldn’t stop laughing. He looked ridiculous losing his shit over that catty fight. They all were fighting dirty. If he was gonna be angry, he should have been mad at Quad, Heavenly and Mariah for perpetuating the nastiness.
Granted we couldn’t see what happened when they got home, but the time for him to get that upset was when Mariah & Toya got into a fist fight at his birthday party.
What doesn’t make sense is that Quad was MIA half of the season because she didn’t want to hang out with the women but then, she’s all for the trip? Knock, knock, Production calling, Production forcing her to go?
Also, Toya not wanting her there shows that they are not really friends. Well, Toya has enough with worrying about her 2-floor closet.
Being hones, season has been BAD. But reunion is the best EVER!
Quad and Mariah were friends and now Quad accuses Mariah of doing drugs? Such low blow. She has kids, for God’s sake!
About Simone, did anything really happen between her husband and his best girlfriend?
And why this hate between Toya and Contessa?
Too many questions unanswered!
Best!
Quad & Mariah both need to bring receipts………Quad cannot accuse Mariah of doing drugs without receipts………..Mariah needs to show receipts of Quad cheating with her brother in law……….I say bring the brother in law and her sister on………….I am not convinced Heavenly husband has not cheated……..I think there is some smoke there.
