Happy M2M Sunday y’all!! Aww this hurts my heart as this is actually the final episode of our favorite Atlanta physicians (and spouses) of the season. I’m hoping they come back next season and that Bravo gives them the time slot and continuity they deserve. We pick up with the big sit down between Quad and Dr. G. They hadn’t spoken in a long time so it’s emotional for them to see each other. Quad is livid that Dr. G had done a radio interview that she felt was aimed to be hurtful to her-he said that they hadn’t had sex since 2014 and had lived in separate bedrooms for 4 years! Wow. Quad said that he couldn’t get an erection with her but he denies cheating on her. Dr. G said that he had taken her on vacations and bought her a home and it wasn’t enough. He said he loves her, always has and he didn’t feel it was reciprocated. Quad says that he’s rude, nasty and physically abusive. She said he suffocated her and “ruined” her knee. Greg said they both got physical and he says she pulled a knife on her. There’s a lot of back and forth but they both agree it’s a toxic relationship and it needs to be over.
Andrew asks what they both need to move forward: Greg says that he loves her and is sorry for the past and wants to let it go. Quad wants him to be happy, win big and grow. He wishes the same for her and she wants to say that she still has love for him but can’t get the words out. Andy says it’s natural that she has love for him as they were married and have a long history. She asks Greg how he’s doing and he said ok, she said she’s the same. They have an awkward hug at the end but it’s a better ending to that segment than I anticipated.
Quad goes backstage and gets a huge hug from Jackie. Heavenly is there and very supportive as well. Greg goes back with the guys and they rally around him. Eugene thinks that Greg and Quad could possibly be friends when it’s all said and done. Scott sums it by saying it seems that they both have love for each other but sometimes love just isn’t enough. Quad cries to the girls that she does still love Greg. I know there’s a lot of commenters who don’t like Quad, but I think even the most anti-Quad person would agree that it’s sad to see the end of marriage. All the couples go back to the set and Jackie says she’s happy Quad and Greg may reach a place where they may be friends. Contessa says that she had no idea that Greg was abusive so she wouldn’t have supported them getting back together.
Toya and Mariah try to defend Greg by saying Greg never said he “hit” her but everyone else is pretty much in agreement that he admitted to some sort of physical abuse. Quad rejoins the group and says that she feels relieved that she admitted the physical violence and apologizes for making the other women feel shut out by her. Simone says that she and Cecil love Quad and will be there for whatever she needs. Jackie feels that there’s a damper over the group to see a marriage dissolve. Quad is optimistic about her future and feels she will have a happy and joyful life going forward.
Our next segment begins with Eugene presenting Andy with the “horny honey” he brought for the men in Antigua. Mariah warns Andy that it may last a long time and Andy may not be able to control how long it lasts if you know what I mean, which I hope you do because I don’t want to go into detail. Thank you. A viewer asks Jackie if she’s still mistrustful of Curtis and they both say they are in a much better place. Cecil is asked about his job situation-Cecil had gotten laid off last season but received a severance package. Simone is pushing him to find a job. Mariah is asked what the biggest cultural clash with her marriage and Mariah says it’s the holidays that have been the biggest challenge, making sure both cultures are fairly celebrated.
Toya is asked by a viewer why she flipped out on Simone when she said her sex life was basic and Toya said she wanted her to go deeper with the answer. Cecil is happy with basic as long as it’s frequent. Toya is then asked why she was a mess in Antigua and Toya blames it on starting birth control. Aydin is asked if his ugly, old girlfriend looked like Heavenly and he very politely pleads the fifth. Heavenly handles that very maturely and says that she thinks all of Damon’s exes are ugly so she gets it. That’s growth y’all!!! Old Heavenly would have knocked Mariah out lol.
The men leave so we are back with just the ladies. We get a montage of Toya and Eugene finding their “forever home” and Toya’s messy friendships with some of the ladies-namely Contessa. Toya says the house is amazing and they are closing at the end of February. She’s staying under 2 million to close and is very happy with her two story closet. She shows off her diamond “upgrade” ring. A viewer voices concern over Toya’s spending and Toya says there’s nothing to be concerned about. She’s learned to budget, save and make smart decisions. Andy asks Contessa her opinion on the new house and Contessa says that she’s happy for Toya as they have been living like refugees for years. Oh snap! I don’t even know what that is supposed to imply but it’s now game on between the two.
Andy asks Toya why she took the phone call from Contessa during her party and Toya said it was Heavenly being messy. Toya insists that the girls were being messy by putting Contessa on speaker phone when Toya was about to make a nice speech. There’s a LOT of screaming between Toya, Contessa and Heavenly. We then try to discuss Toya hitting Contessa on her chest and again, more screaming. Andy is exhausted trying to get them to stop screaming. Everyone concurs that Toya did NOT hit Contessa on purpose but there is no reconciliation between the two. Andy tries to defer to Jackie for something positive to happen between Toya and Contessa, but she just want him to let them be. They all go backstage for a break and Contessa feels that Simone was #teamToya. Toya and Eugene are in their dressing room and he is supportive of Toya, as he always is.
Andy apologizes to Toya for always screaming at her during reunions. He commends Jackie for being the heart of the group but can’t understand why, with her intelligence, she can’t work an oven. Jackie doesn’t do things she doesn’t want to do lol. Jackie can’t help but yell at Toya sometimes to get her point across and Andy empathizes. Andy asks where Quad and Toya are in their friendship and they both admit they aren’t where they were but they fight like sisters and will be back to a good place at some point. Quad asks for Toya to just love on her and she will let her back in.
They wrap up by saying what they’ve learned this season and it’s a nice way to end. Oooooh y’all!! There’s a new Married to Medicine show!! It’s Married to Medicine LA! WHOO HOO! This bodes well for our girls, no? One of the cast members is the best friend of Contessa, so we can expect a crossover I’m sure. I’m so happy!
Well, this is it. I cannot possibly convey how much I appreciate everyone who has read this week after week, commented and shared the passion we all have for this show. And I want to thank our queen, Miss Tamara T, for the opportunity to blog about these awesome women and for having this amazing site where we all come to share our love (or hard core dislike) for them and their spouses. It’s been an amazing time and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you for the recap. I can’t really pick a side in the Toya v Contessa fight. Every time I lean on Contessa’s side, I think about the ridiculous narrative that she tries to push that Toya intentionally hurt her.
That and when she talked about Toya’s weight out of the blue while they were all out to dinner.
She was stressing that Toya often was riding Eugene about his weight when they have the same BMI. Even without a dog in this fight, it is very insensitive to give Eugene shit about his weight, especially in front of others.
Thank you Cho!! Yeah I was hardcore Contessa but the Toya pushing her on purpose thing then the comments since, I’ve become less hardcore. I do still love her but she went too low. I’m hoping kickass Contessa returns next season 🙂
It’s just a really well done show. Maybe I watch too much but it doesn’t feel producer driven or staged or fake. I like and appreciate all of the women as they all add something to the mix. It’s really one of the best Bravo shows thank you for recapping
100% agree!
I hope the new LA-based version is just as authentic
Thank you Kate! I totally agree 🙂
Thank you for your recaps. They have been great.
When Contessa made the refuge remark i thought she was being sarcastic. Then it exploded. These two just need to keep their distance.
Never have been a Quad fan but sorry she has been in so much pain. Hope for peace for her and Greg.
That “refuge” remark was low. Was she implying that because they were renting or moved a few times? A lot of people rent thats insulting to renters. Being house rich and cash poor is a drag. She would have faired better by saying nomadic.
Thank you so much Cathyrid! Yeah I thought it was a joke too but it seems out of character. I don’t know but I’m hoping my girl comes back strong next season!
Who was in the hoodie in the picture above with Quad?
Not a good look for Mariah and Toya for denying the physical altercations between Greg and Quad when GREG admitted it. Why do women not want to believe women????
Also, I didn’t like how Jackie was talking about how their divorce cast a damper over the group. I mean, I am sure it made them all feel sad, etc… but the way she said it she made it sound like blame, or that they did it on purpose. Well, I am sure Curtis cheating on her was no picnic for the rest of them. She better not get holier than thou because she stayed in her marriage and has improved it. Allow me to introduce you to Shannon Beador. Normally I really like Jackie – but that was disappointing.
My love, he never said he hit her. They are actually friends with Greg and Mariah has known him for years. They did not want the implication to affect his family and livelihood. They were both violent towards each other but I think the point Toya and Mariah were making is that he never raised a hand to Quad. She would get knives and he would restrain her and in doing so would hurt her obviously. Neither is right but Quad and Mariah are quick with the blade, that’s why Quad was so quick to jump up on the beach. She knew blood would be shed from experience.
Thanks for the recap. I couldn’t sit through the 3rd hour. I really wish Andy would have asked Toya and Simone who was responsible for the SBDs that kept causing Mariah to make the stank face every few minutes.
Thank you for reading! I thought the 3rd part was strong but I can see what you mean.
That comment Contessa made about Toya and Eugene was so ignorant. Refugees are some of the strongest people on Earth because they leave all they know crossing borders, countries and oceans looking for a brighter tomorrow. I didn’t like her before but when she said that I wanted Toya to give her a titty punch for real. Quad is too fake, to the point that it’s unbearable. She did not love that man.
I’m sick of Andy and the producers not giving Mariah the respect she deserves. She created the show therefore I feel the last q about LA should have been directed to her and Contessa. I adore Toya, Mariah, Dr. Simone and Dr. Jackie. Heavenly has her moments but Contessa has to go. She and Scott don’t fit in. Replace her with Dr. Jarrett but all in all, an anazing season. Thank you for the recap.
Agree on both your comments. I wonder since Aydin mentioned moving to LA, Mariah might be on the new show? Quad has made a mockery of domestic violence with her threatics IMO. She needs to move on with that Sister Circle show she’s on, in which she has no personality.
Thank you for your wonderful recaps, Kelly. I hope there is another season!
Thank you both so much! I hope there’s another season too 🙂
Watching “Wendy” now. Set completely changed and they are calling it Hot Talk Week. Screen behind guests says Hot Talk, not Hot Topics which it has always said. Feels like they are trying something different and putting Wendy on the way back burner.
TT, do you have any tea on the LA cast?
I love this show. Probably more than any of the Housewives at the moment. It just seems more organic, if that makes sense.
No I knew they were taping but I don’t really get into Married to Medicine.
Did anyone notice the side eye Jackie gave to Contessa every time Contessa made a negative comment about Toya? Why does Heavenly not like Toya? What did I miss.
Popculturekelly. I love your re-caps. I can’t wait to read them for M2M LA.
I noticed Jackie giving quite a bit of side eye. I was a little surprised at a couple of the looks because they were pretty intense. It wasn’t just to Contessa either, she was boring her peepholes into Heavenly a couple of times there.
Thank you so much! I don’t know if I’ll be asked to do the recaps but if not, I hope we have a place here to talk about it! 🙂 I hope it’s good and not a crappy spin off
This was emotional. Quad and Gregory definitely should not be together. Love does not conquer all when it comes to this kind of situation. They both sound volatile and unstable in their relationship. They both do deserve to be happy and I hope they can work that out. I hope they both stay on the show, which I do think will come back. I mean, why would they start another one if this one wasn’t good? Wonder if this is a leeway for Aydan and Mariah to move to L.A. That seems to be something that could be happening.
Toya and Contessa are both very much alike. I was more team Contessa (mostly because Toya seems like a spoiled brat), but some of the stuff she was saying last night just hit me the wrong way. She is a tough cookie and doesn’t give an inch. I don’t think that is a sign of maturity or growth. If you don’t want to be friends then don’t. But stop with the petty finger pointing. We get that enough from our Government LOL.
I hope that Toya and Eugene don’t get in any more trouble. I just love him. He is so sweet and kind. I love Heavenly’s husband too. All the guys are kind of sweet and goofy in their own ways. I think Andy enjoys them because it is a relief from all the screaming.
Anyway, great recap again Kelly! Will see you on Instagram for sure! Big hugs.
Thank you so much Sundayhare!!! I agree with what you said. Yes I’ll see you there and I’m praying Sunday we have LOTS to be happy about!! GO PATS!!!!! Hugs and love ❤️
Thanks for recapping the show Pop Culture Kelly!!
I thought the 3rd episode was a bit boring. It felt like they were scraping for material. It is sad when a marriage ends. However, I think Quad was more interested in playing the victim role more than anything. She had no choice but to admit that she was also violent toward Greg.
I think Toya is childish and petty most of the time. I can deal with that. For some reason Toya brings out the nasty in Contessa and that’s not a good look for her. The refuge comment was pretty low as was the BMI statement. Contessa doesn’t know how to throw shade. She just goes for the jugular.
Thank you so much Bosandi! Contessa and Toya are like oil and water for some reason. Maybe they can get deeper next season as to why they loathe each other so much?
Just playing opposite advocate here. I don’t think that Toya or Mariah were condoning violence against Quad. I think that they were trying to make it clear that Greg never said the word “hit” when describing his altercations with Quad. To them, he was describing, as some would call, “tussling” (that’s an old school word). To them (I’m guessing) when you say the word “hit” or “abuse”, people automatically think of a woman being beaten. However, in this particular instance, it was made extremely clear by both party’s, that there was mutual combat. I personally think that they both know a lot more than is being told by Quad, and they don’t want Greg to be the only one getting the bad edit . Especially when there seems to be enough blame to go around.
Thank you so much for your recaps. I never get a chance to watch a full episode of this show. And, as a result, I cannot for the life of me remember who is who!! And, I am not being racist or anything when I say that several of the cast members look alike , which makes it even harder for me to keep track of them – especially with only watching periodically. Your recaps have made it all make much more sense. THanks for that. And, yoo hoo to LA show coming up!!
Awwe thank you bc!! I’m hoping La will be just as good!! 🙂
Quad and her “look at me” the sexist woman alive was barf worthy. Greg had an erectile issue and she castrated him. They have both been arrested for mutual combat and that in its self is cringeworthy.
The refugee comment was out of bounds. Toya may be rough and Contessa is no prize. My guess is Contessa’s man is ready to pack it in.
Jackie is always cool and Heavenly was surprisingly well behaved. No Mariah , no Contessa net year. Simply the best Bravo show.
I don’t care for Toya much, but I don’t appreciate Contessa going down to her level. Contessa has had a rough year with her health, Dad’s health and career change. Being a stay-at-home mom is not for everyone. I hope she is back to her golden self next season.
I like Quad. I thought Andy did much better with that interview than I thought he would. It is difficult to understand how you still love someone after the toxic stuff, but love doesn’t just die a sudden death. Nice to hear that Greg and Quad wish each other well. I hope it stays that way.
Kelly, I enjoyed your recaps this season and hope you will be recapping the LA M2M.
Thank you so much Nanette! As a stay at home mom Incan attest that it’s not for everyone 🙂 I hope that I recap LA too, and I hope it’s as good as the original!
I agree, I like this HW version the best. Somehow the women feel authentic. I’ve even come to like “Heavenly”, (silly name), her voice has come down about 10 octives . But, I still don’t like Quad. Never
really have. She behaves so superior to everyone else. She always swans around as though she were the Queen and everyone else was her subjects. I always felt sorry for Greg, he wanted kids, but she wasn’t going to provide them.
The rest of the ladies actually appear real. A lot of times the filmed doctor and dentist appointments look so
staged, but that’s to be ignored as part of the deal. If I were a patient, there’s no way my session with my doctor would be filmed.
Please keep up the good work.
Thank you! 🙂 Haha I wouldn’t be caught dead being filmed in my doctors office lol. I go back and forth on Quad but I agree that I always felt for Greg too. However, seeing how toxic their relationship was, I can now see why Quad didn’t want to bring a child into it.
