Hello everyone! Your favorite Masshole is baaack. God I am excited to recap one of my absolute favorite Bravo shows! Married to Medicine has it all: smart, gorgeous women who are funny as hell and shady AF. I love them all. Tonight we open with a montage of all the women discussing “Open and Honest”. It’s a podcast that Heavenly and Jackie had previously recorded. Their topic is “girlfriend code” which, honestly, most of them could use lessons on. Including one of our dear podcaster’s, whose name rhymes with Shmevenly.
Heavenly and Quad arrive at a dilapidated building called “Sweet Spot”. I’m not sure what it is but they are getting their lady parts steamed. They’re pretty trusting of a place that looks like an actor’s trailer. Quad is excited that her divorce from Dr. Greg is almost final. Draped in pink capes (kid you not) they talk about how Heavenly and Cecil got in a Twitter feud. I didn’t know this! Heavenly doesn’t seem too repentant. Quad isn’t about to put a bandaid on a bullet wound with Simone. There was a break in their friendship and it has not been healed. Damon is hosting an opening for his new surgical center. Heavenly hopes all the ladies are on their best behavior.
Open And Honest(y) Is The Best Policy
Mariah, Simone and Toya are out having dinner. They discuss the podcast. Mariah is unhappy that Jackie brought up the drug allegation from the reunion. I had forgotten about that! Mariah says it’s not true and that Jackie should fact check. Jackie just used it as an example of how it wasn’t “girl code,”she didn’t make an accusation. Hello again shit stirring Mariah!

Simone is upset about Heavenly and Cecil’s feud. She feels that Heavenly used information that Simone trusted her with against him. Simone will be cordial to Heavenly when she sees her. She’s happy to comment on how lovely her flea market outfit is! Haha. God I’ve missed these women!
Getting Up To Speed With The Ladies And Husbands
Jackie and Curtis are very happy together. They moved to a new house which is beautiful. They are gutting it. Jackie loves the location, now she wants the perfect house to go with it.
Scott, Contessa’s husband, is living the single dad life because Contessa is in Nashville. She’s back in school to become Surgeon General of America some day. She’s focusing on public health.

Toya, Eugene and their two cute boys go to see the house they are building. Everyone is very excited to move. Damn if Toya didn’t get her two-story closet! It looks like it will be beautiful. Eugene is concerned that the house won’t be built on time as they have 60 days to vacate their current house.
Simone, Cecil and her too (2) grown sons go to dinner. They are all living together again. Cecil is now a real estate agent. It allows Cecil more time to help Simone at her office. These two looks so happy. It’s really nice to see. Miles, their oldest son, left Howard University. He is at Georgia State doing much better. Michael is preparing for the SAT’s. I love this family. They laugh and love hard.
Maroon Carpet Fabulousness
It’s the night of Damon’s surgical center opening. Simone tells us that she has blocked Heavenly on social media. She loves to block a bitch. She’ll block you too! Lol. Oh snap, Mariah brings her sister Lake to the party! Lake is the one who accused Quad of sleeping with her husband. Wow. Simone and Quad are still icy to each other. Damon gives a nice speech about how grateful he is for the center. He is such a sweet man. We find out that Damon gave Eugene his first ER job! It’s cool how all these people have real history and real friendships. To me, it is what a lot of the Bravo shows currently lack.
All the ladies then gather together in an outside tent. Quad refuses to acknowledge Lake’s existence. Mariah immediately goes after Jackie but Jackie remains nonplussed. Simone and Heavenly start to rehash what happened between them. Heavenly says she doesn’t like it when the men argue with the women. It’s “bitch shit”. Contessa and Toya start yelling. Contessa calls Eugene the definition of a big ass bitch. After a lot of screaming, Quad manages to settle everyone down. The party ends but this season (and it’s drama!) is just beginning.

This season on M2M: Girlfriend code is discussed and argued about. Tropical cast trip. Quad dates. The men go to a strip club. Contessa and Scott go to therapy. Quad and Simone argue. Mariah and Jackie argue. Jackie pops off. It looks so good! Please join me on this M2M journey. I can’t wait to hear what you all think of the premiere. See you in the comments and back here again next Sunday!
I immediately fell in love when Married to Medicine (M2M) first debuted, but I’ve since gone back and forth between tuning in for binge-fests and tuning out for extended periods. Your recap makes me want to jump back in this season.
Quite frankly, M2M Atlanta is everything I’ve wanted RHOA to be, but RHOA hasn’t always lived up to. (As in, this show features true professional women who’ve had real business accomplishments before jumping on a TV show.) For some reason, Bravo has avoided fucking this show up completely. I can only hope it stays that way.
Awwe thank you for that! I absolutely love this show. I love how real and vulnerable they are. There is an authenticity missing from most Bravo shows (Sadly Atlanta is one). It’s become formulaic and staged. Maybe they always have been? It makes M2M and RHODallas standouts to me. Hopefully you’ll come along for the ride this season-it looks like it’s going to be a fun one 🙂
I am a fan. The fact that they have relationships outside the show is obvious. Every trip they go on the doctors take time to give back between cat fights makes me go to my happy place. The snark, education, and friendships are real. And if they aren’t don’t tell me.
Totally agree Sara. Simone and Quad has me dying last night! They are all so damn funny and real. Love them all-even the ones who make it hard sometimes ?
This is one of two shows I’m devastated to be missing since dropping my cable. M2M and RHNYC… what do they have in common? Real friendships, long history, deep connections, and true love for (most of) each other. Please keep the excellent recaps coming. I live through you!
I wish I could drop cable. I guess I fear missing out. Maybe someday soon.
Aweee Molnuts I will keep them coming I promise! Good for you for giving up cable but keep coming back for your Bravo fix! 🙂 Deejay I’m with ya. Just can’t quit it yet.
One of the last bravo shows I will watch. Used to watch them all but then they became unwatchable. Thank God for Netflix and my great British baking show
I still love Dallas and NY but this is one of my absolute favorites. Netflix is the bomb-if you haven’t checked out Mindhunters I cannot recommend it enough!
Welcome back!!!!
Thanks for the great recap.
I just don’t like Contessa for no particular reason which is really bad, lol. Perhaps by seasons end, I’ll change my mind.
Awwe thanks Cheryl! But ummmmm….I though we were friends??? Contessa is amazing!! It might be my personal mission to change your mind. You’re a reasonable gal, I think we can save this friendship ??❤️?
I loved Contessa in the beginning. If I were just starting to watch, I don’t know if I would. She lost me a bit when she kept /wondering saying Toya hit her post-op healing breast on purpose during Crabgate. I do not like Toya, but in that case, I had to take Toya’s side. It was unfortunate that the person who was the worst to bump got bumped. But Toya is not that good of an actress. And not THAT mean.
Mmmm yes I didn’t like that either honestly. I Stan for no one, everyone has their flaws. When I think of Contessa, all I can think of is when she picked her toddler up who was choking, did the heimlich then went back to chopping veggies like it was nothing. It was a defining act of badassery that forever gives her a place in my heart. Plus she’s a veteran and a doctor. Despite some flaws, she’s awesome to me 🙂
Cheryl B., I too do not like Contessa. She is selfish, and rude to anyone who doesn’t take her side or agree with her.
Ayyyye. I have my work to do I see. Welp, I like a challenge Joey and Cheryl. Consider it broughten ?
Really respect the fact it’s the 7th season. (Not Contessa’s, lol kidding Kelly)
Oh Cheryl! ???????
This is a show where I enjoy the husbands just as much as the wives. Eugene is my favorite!
Right???? I love them all but Eugene and Cecil are my top two. Just love them.
Hi Kelly. I hope you are still in the wild honeymoon stage! I love this show, couldn’t get into the L.A. version. So glad I will never have to hear Dr. Gregory’s voice again; but I loves the other men. Mariah still is a cunt, misinterpreting everyone and going ballistic over false evidence. Toya’s house exterior is hideous. Looks like a third-grader drew a picture and they copied it. Jackie is everything. The kids on this show ALL ROCK!
Hi Nanette! Awee thank you, it will be a year next month! It’s flown by 🙂 Hahahaha Dr.G’s voice was something lol. Ooohhh hmmm. I can see what you mean with Dr. Jackie but I didn’t see it as shade. You may be on to something though!! All the kids on this show are awesome! There’s some that I just can’t with (cough cough Brandi’s girls on Dallas) but all these kids are seemingly well adjusted and well behaved. I’m absolutely pumped for this season!!
I wasn’t clear. I do not think Dr. Jackie was being shady at all. She disclosed nothing new; it was OUT THERE, and she didn’t say it like a fact. She used it as an example. Mariah is the TammySue of M2M. Misconstruing things, then causing trouble with her MISinterpretations presented as facts.
I’m so sorry, you were clear. I messed up, crossing up with another comment. It was 6am before coffee ? Uuuugh you nailed it! She and Tammy Sue have too much in common ?
MORE ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ !
Thanks for taking time to recap M2M, Kelly! I really enjoy reading your recaps and love how much you love this show. I think one of the reasons the show is so good is because Bravo hasn’t (yet) made major changes to the cast, so you get to see the friendships progress through the years.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Jackie was being shady AF by repeating Quad’s cocaine accusation about Mariah on the “Open and Honest” (LMAO at that title) podcast. That type of allegation could be super damaging to someone’s professional and personal life. So to repeat it, while hiding behind a “you shouldn’t have said that” faux self-righteousness, only perpetuates the slander.
I love the funny shade on these shows, but these types of damaging accusations are not cool. It’s happening on too many Bravo shows like RHOC and RHOA.
Hi Harlan! Awww thank you so much-and thank YOU for taking the time to read and comment! Yes the real friendships
Make this show so good and special. You might be on to something with Jackie. Never thought of it like that but yes, those rumors are damaging. This is going to be a great season, I can’t wait to keep the discussion going!!!
Did anyone else catch the improper seatbelt on Layla? The middle child’s car seat was all wrong and her lap belt was the only thing strapping her in. It’s actually incredibly dangerous for a young child to be put in that way. I could NOT take Contessa seriously that she wants to be Surgeon General and her husband can’t buckle their kids in…
I don’t feel like Contessa should be held responsible for her husband’s mistakes. Hopefully she had a conversation about that with him after seeing the episode. Damn I’m just glad I write about people being followed by cameras because y’all would have a field day with my zoo! ?
I’m a fan of both the show and your recaps. Welcome back!
Simone makes me laugh but I don’t hate the rest of the cast at all. It’s easy to see the real in their relationships.
Thank you so much!!!! Simone makes me laugh. They’re all so funny 🙂
Jackie is my fav on this show. I do really like this show. I’d much rather watch it than RHOA.
Amen ❤️
I follow Jackie on social media because she is always doing positive things for her patients, community and hubby. I imagine surviving cancer twice might make someone bitter or fearful. Not Jackie.
Thanks for the recap! So glad the ladies are back!
Thank you for reading and commenting! Jackie is amazing. She is strength and grace personified ❤️
Another thing I like about this show — actually, the cast — is how they do charitable things on their Bravo trips. They don’t have to do that. They could spend the time drinking and screaming like the other franchises.
Yesssss!! I love that as well. It speaks to their character, completely.
HI Kelly!!! I don’t know why I am having issues with my replies to you but I am not exactly computer saavy! Anyhoo I am so glad that you are back. I knew it was M2M not Dallas when I posted to you I just put the wrong thing. M2M is one of my fave Bravos left. I think it is because I love the guys on this show so much. Eugene is so damn adorable I just don’t know. I do love these women because they are friends and do have a history together. They sure do fight like old time friends for sure LOL. This year looks chock full of lots of drama and fun. Looks like Jackie is getting a little feisty I hope she doesn’t change too much she is always so the voice of reason. You know, Heavenly just really is a piece of work. Praising Jesus out of one side of her mouth and talking about sex in detail out the other. Her poor sweet hubs doesn’t know what to do with her. I am so glad he got his healing center. I hope he does really well. I am interested to see how Toya is going to handle being out of debt because it looks like she is plunging her family right back in to debt again. Contessa seems to be getting a big feisty. I always liked her and I hope they aren’t going to make her into a villan. Excited to go through this season with you.
On another note…..our Boys of Summer will come back next year and be better than ever! I was so happy you got to go see them and have a winning game! They are still the best. In the meantime the Boys of Fall are off to a good start.
Hi my love!!! It’s all good, I just feel bad that I never got the response message 🙁 Oh Heavenly is a mess but God do I love them all!! Yeah I’m hoping Contessa doesn’t get a bad edit. She’s just such a badass to me. Awee thank you, it was a special game. Right behind homeplate! We were 2 rows away from being on tv lol. I mean, we raised another banner this year, I have zero complaints. Love our boys and they will come back strong next year! But ooooh our Pats!!! I love all thee raising of the banners-we are spoiled and I love every second of it!! ❤️❤️
