It’s Married To Medicine time! Are y’all excited? Mono has hit our zoo so we’re all recovering. Thankfully, I was given an prescription for a full dose of the Married to Medicine ladies. I am nothing if not a compliant patient!
We begin where we left off last week at Toya’s birthday party. There are two buck nekkid models waiting to be drawn. Heavenly draws a picture of a cross on a model’s chest because Lawwwd forbid she look at anyone other than Daddy naked. One model picks Heavenly right up off the floor! Daddy won’t be pleased. Toya is happy that everyone laughed and enjoyed the night…until Heavenly has Buffie and Toya talk. Buffie insists she defended Toya but Toya isn’t buying it. Buffie is Captain Save-a-Toya, a position that she is now resigned from. Contessa, Buffie and Simone leave. Kari (please come back Kari!) says she’s happy that she got to draw a penis. She chalks it up to a terrific night.
Hell Bent To Teach Consent
Toya goes to see Eugene at his office. Eugene tells Toya that some of the guys are upset about her naked man paint party. Eugene suggests a guys night to smooth things over with the men. Their new house isn’t done yet but they have to be out of their rental. Eugene says they will have to move into their unfinished house. Toya isn’t happy about that but there isn’t another choice.
Simone visits Jackie at Jackie’s office. Simone asks Jackie if she told Curtis about the naked man party, which she didn’t really. She mentioned it vaguely but didn’t go into detail. She would rather discuss the book she’s writing called “Queen Bee”. It’s all about intimacy and loving your body. I’m sure Simone will get a signed copy .

Cecil, Simone and the boys get the south house ready to rent out for air bnb. Simone calls the boys downstairs for an open conversation about STD’s. Simone uses cottage cheese and sardines as props. God I hope no one was eating during this discussion. Cecil and Simone stress how important consent is which I actually loved to see. It isn’t stressed enough so as gross as the talk was, consent was a great takeaway.
The Best Revenge Is Strippers
Heavenly pays Quad a visit at her house. Quad is on a $500 and hour phone call with her divorce attorney. Quad expected Heavenly to eat the cheese she put out without crackers. No ma’am! Heavenly will not be cracka-lackin’. After the phone call, Heavenly tries to press Quad for some divorce details. But, Quad won’t give any. It seems Heavenly just wants this divorce done already. We all do at this point.
The men get together for a guy’s night out. Buffie’s husband David, a psychiatrist, joins them. They meet at a place that has football bowling? I love me some football and bowling but not sure I love them combined. David apologizes to Eugene about the Joseline incident at their party. Scott vents to the guys about how tough it is running the house without Contessa.

Toya’s party comes up. Some of the guys in particular Aydin were upset with Eugene for not telling them about all the nakedness. They look at a picture with Mariah, Simone and a model with a long tongue. Damon is informed that Heavenly was picked up by a model. Daddy says that revenge is best served cold, so they will have a stripper night out. All the men are excited. Who knew Daddy was so diabolical?
Heavenly’s Eyes Wide Shut
While Toya and Eugene move, which is hell, Jackie and Heavenly go do “research” for Jackie’s book at a sex toy store. Jackie is in unfamiliar territory so she’s there to learn everything. Heavenly is in Heaven will all the toys. Jackie is planning a girl’s trip to Savannah by bus. Bravo is either too cheap to fly them or they really want the ladies tired and ready to fight.

Contessa and Scott have a heart to heart at their house. Contessa’s being gone has caused a lot of stress on their relationship. Scott asks Contessa what we have all been asking.Why did she quit working last year to stay home with the kids only to leave them for longer periods of time? Contessa tells him that she withdrew from school. She is clearly not happy about it. Scott doesn’t want her to resent him but she clearly does. Sad to say, this marriage is in deep turmoil.
Next week on Married to Medicine: Savannah trip happens. Lots of yelling and tears from Mariah. I hope you enjoyed this recap. As always I thank everyone for reading. Can’t wait to see what you think in the comments!
There are at least 3 schools of public health in Atlanta proper, Emory, Morehouse School of Medicine, Georgia State Univ, Mercer.., I’m calling bullsh#t on Contessa’s storyline. Emory has one of the best public health programs in the U.S.
Me too! I said it with last weeks episode and I mentioned Emory..
I smell fake storyline but I still love Contessa and her family
I love Scott and the kids…Contessa this year? Not so much..Why did she buy McDonald’s at 830-9 pm? Why would she assume the children had not eaten… Why quit your job to spend more time with the kids and then moved to another state so you don’t even see them during a week.. when you perfectly good school and your backyard.. Why then withdraw without talking to your husband.. and acting like the long suffering wife? Not feeling her this year. Or her storyline. Damon was All about the strip club ?
Yeah I’m not understand why she had to go out of state to further her career. It doesn’t make any sense.
Thank PCKelly for the re-cap! It was so entertaining and hilarious! I feel asleep half way through the show so this works for me. LOL! “no ma’am Heavenly won’t be cracka-lackin” LOL!
I’m not blasting you Shell_d I’m ranting on the situation.
Why so hard on Dr. Contessa? If it was a man taking off for school no one would blink! I’m not feeling sorry for her husband’s whining about taking care of HIS KIDS. Just because he has to wash some clothes and spend quality time with them PULEEZ. He doesn’t even have to comb their hair. They obviously go to a salon.
Dr. Contessa carried them in her body, went through painful labor, gave birth, weight gain and weight loss. Recovers, then goes back to work and takes care of the kids. We always support our men, is it reciprocated? Are they her kids only and not his?
Maybe she went to Nashville (I’m guessing it’s Meharry) because maybe it’s her Alma Mater, it’s familiar to her and she feels comfortable there. Maybe she’d rather give that school her money. Or maybe they gave her a fellowship. Maybe this school offers the courses she needs on a fast track or is suits her time frame. I’m saying maybe because I don’t know.
I know how it is working in a male dominated field also as a minority. It’s no picnic and education in said field is no party either. So again maybe she’s comfortable at the school in Nashville. I support her and her dream because I’ve been there and done that trying to get ahead while rearing children w/o support.
That pic of the model with his tongue is sooo funny to me because Dr. Simone looks like she’s in heaven thinking about his tongue and Mariah looks mortified.
Janine, I’m not trying to be hard on Contessa, but the way it’s being presented is that the school is Nashville is her only option. First she wanted to stop working to spend more time with the kids, so why go to Nashville for a degree that she can get in Atlanta from multiple options? It doesn’t make sense to me.
I am also confused. Last week y’all told me she wanted to be a Public Health Physician.
Here are the credentials for that.
In order to work as a public health physician, candidates must complete their MD, or Doctor of Medicine degree at an accredited medical school and pass the United States Medical Licensing Exam. Medical school typically takes four years to complete and is followed with a 1-2 year medical residency program. For physicians interested in entering public health, MD/PhD programs are recommended, but not required. Combination programs allow physicians to enter more research-intensive fields of public health, including epidemiology, biostatistics and health policy and management.
Perhaps she was trying to get a PhD in a specific branch of medicine?
When Dr. Scott asked if she were after something else, he expressed what lots of people might ask. I don’t think she has a Nashville Cat, but who knows? It sounds as if — and I really hope it is storyline — she enrolled without much discussion, and withdrew without discussing it with hubby. THAT makes ZERO sense. And why not hire temporary help for the kids? Some kindly, ugly, older lady — like me…
Another thing that makes no sense. Toya and Eugene’s move. HIRE PROFESSIONALS. At his age and stage in his career, it would be messed up to injure himself moving. If they couldn’t make an arrangement to stay longer in their rental (highly unlikely, it’s usually just about money) they could have considered storing stuff, except bare bones, until the house was done. The boys were in heaven with the pool, and they could have turned it into a camping indoors/backyard adventure.
Most physicians stop with the MPH in order to be public health physicians. I could have sworn I heard her say she was getting a masters degree.
Maybe, and if so, that is true, Emory, Morehouse, Georgia State and UGA in Athens all have great MPH programs. There are also online colleges that offer the program. Nashville makes no sense. I thought maybe she wanted to go to Fisk but they don’t offer the program. Maybe she just really wanted to go to Vanderbilt?
This is the bio that BRAVO put up at the beginning of the show. SO TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.
Contessa Metcalfe was born and raised in Kansas City, MO. She grew up being involved in every activity imaginable from debutante to cheerleader to even being crowned as her high school homecoming queen. Dr. Contessa attended Xavier University where she earned her undergraduate degree and for medical school she attended St. Louis University. While in St. Louis, Contessa knew she had a calling beyond medicine along with an inner desire to do more and she decided to join the Navy as a flight surgeon. During her residency at the National Naval Medical Center, she also learned to how to fly planes. Dr. Contessa’s adventurous personality allowed her to travel the world and while on the road she fell in love and decided to settle down with her husband, Scott. Contessa now focuses on occupational and preventive medicine in addition to owning a medical concierge service called Acute Face MD where she provides VIP services for her patients. She also owns a restaurant in Atlanta, and is a real estate entrepreneur. When Dr. Metcalfe is not on the clock she enjoys riding motorcycles, traveling, and spending quality time with her family. She and her husband, Scott have three kids and she considers them her heart, soul, and by far her greatest accomplishment. Contessa lives by the motto, “Prevention is the key to healthy living.”
Britten, from M2MLA, supposedlh owns aCute Face in Orlando, FL. i guess there in business together but Orlando appears to be the only location.
Thank you Janine! Thank you TT for the deep dive! It’s a strange storyline, to go from last season quitting your job to stay home with the kids to leaving the kids more and going out of state. Bizarre. Shell_D I heard her say that too. It doesn’t make sense.
I also wish for Kari to return. She has history with Toya, Mariah and most of the others. Contessa is looking for a reason to move on. I am not buying her reasons, she has the nerve to blame her husband. The Toya party should not have happened the way it did. I love Toya but this party should have been a choice, not a surprise. I love this show. It puts rhoc and rhbh to shame.
I agree 🙂
This was fun ! Heavenly and the group were so excited with the nudes . I enjoy the scenes with the husbands and of course Eugene and Aydin don’t pass up a chance to be as messy as the wives .
Don’t know if I’m going to like Buffie.
I think Contessa is going through something and it might not just be a storyline for tv . I always found it strange that she seems so assertive yet allowed her former nanny to be so disrespectful to her . She’s not my favorite but I am intrigued what’s really going on in their marriage.
Jackie a bit prudish to be writing a sex book , but kudos to her for always putting energy into a different project every season, no doubt to cope with life with the creepy Curtis .
Is this Quad’s last season? Going through a divorce shouldn’t mean demotion or being fired but Quad , seems unwilling to share her personal life and is so annoying.
Not a Mariah fan either but I hope she doesn’t allow Bravo to use the drug storyline for ratings. Mariah is smart and should realise the permanent damage that could do to her reputation and Aydin’s as a doctor.
If I were Quad’s lawyer, my advice would be to discuss it with NO ONE until it’s over. And that could be all she would have to say to anyone. Especially in front of the cameras. I wish Quad would go to RHOA and Kari would come back to M2M.
It was fun!! I love scenes like that, everyone just enjoying themselves. These ladies are hilarious and best when being ridiculous lol. Nanette I agree. Quads lawyer is earning his money for sure ?
Hi Tamara thanks for the bio on Contessa. Well that blows my theory of wild guesses out of the water. She isn’t an alumnae of Meharry Medical in Nashville. Not sure if Fisk has a MPH but I do know they have a rigorous pre-med major It is a fine school.
Anyway, like said my big problem is that there are different standards for women and those are his beautiful children just as much as they are hers.
Hopefully we will find out about her choices at the reunion show. Someone has to send Andy the question about why she stayed at home with her kids then changed her mind and left for school LOL evidently she was done with that journey (stay @ home mom) and wanted to embark on another.
I don’t even have kids and I can see that being a stay-at-home mom is A LOT. Some moms make it look easy — they should put project manager on their resume if they ever go back to work. (Among other skills.)
I have 3 kids, stay at home mom without the benefit of a husby Doctor salary lol. It’s so hard. Not complaining as my husband and I sacrifice to allow this to happen but it’s HARD. Being a working mom is hard, it’s ALL HARD. My disconnect with Contessa is how last season she quit to be a Sahm then suddenly decided she needs to go out of state to further her career. Where Scott seems just as surprised as the rest of us, I feel like there’s more to this story.
My biggest issue with Contessa this season…and this is only the tip of the iceberg for me because I DO NOT like this character…is that she’s away from her family due to her own decision and desire to further her career. This was totally within her control and she chose a school a state away. Meanwhile, her seeminly well-equipped husband is doing a great job with their kids in her absence, and she has the nerve to come home and complain about how he does anything/everything. I’m willing to bet Scott wouldn’t be bent out of shape if his wife didn’t come home and criticize how he did things around the house. The episode before last where she was talking to Heavenly (I think it was their 1-on-1) and she talked about the things Scott doesn’t do like she would do them…including loving on their children (or did she say this in her confessional time while the picnic was being set up…?), anyway… I found that to be SOOOOOOO unnecessary, manipulative to the audience, and basically mean-spirited. A father will always show his affection differently than a mother will. That is one of the many ways men are different from women. And I’d also bet Scott could smother his kids with hugs and kisses daily in Contessa’s absence and the children would still miss their Mom immensely when she’s gone…BECAUSE SHE’S THEIR MOM. #AAARRRGGGHHHHHH
Scott’s issue isn’t that he wants a pat on the back for doing what any good Dad and supportive husband would do so that his wife could achieve another career accomplishment. I’d bet his biggest issue is that she seems to come in off the road right off the top with criticisms and complaints about how he’s caring for the family and house in her absence, but he’s always been a capable and loving father (she’s NEVER even hinted otherwise). She comes off as trying to get the audience’s sympathy at her husband’s expense because SHE KNOWS how she’s going about this latest career building decision is suspect at best.
I really don’t like this character! #Hmph 🙁
So imagine Contessa if they divorced. Pure freak show.
Y’all know I loved her first season. This season not so much. I hope we get the good Contessa back soon. I miss her. And Scott is an amazing husband and dad. If she’s not giving him that credit then maybe he can hear it from us ?
Thanks for the naked back side screen shot, you made my day ;).
You know I got you ??
I hate to agree with you on this one, but it looks like Contessa’s marriage is doomed. Let’s hope they don’t do a vowel renewal AKA “Bravo marriage kiss of death”.
I’m hoping this is just their storyline because it’s a 180 degree turn from last year. Going out of state for school and tension in the home is her way of being interesting this season
I hate divorce. I truly hope these two figure it out.
cliffsucks, I agree and I hope they figure things out. There are plenty of people in this world that would love to be living without financial distress in a nice home with a family of lovely, healthy and active children . Dr. Scott and Dr. Contessa are normal humans that aren’t perfect and sometimes we make unpopular choices.
I agree. They’re a beautiful family, I’m hoping they make it
I love the irony (and hypocrisy) of the husbands being outraged about the male models at the wives’ sip and paint, yet it’s totally fine for the husbands to go to strip clubs.
Contessa is getting a very bad edit this season. I feel like either we’re not seeing the full story, or it’s a production-driven storyline. It was a bad look for her to say “you win” to her husband after she apparently withdrew from school without telling him in advance.
It was great to see Kari! I saw her playing a real estate agent on an episode of The Haves and The Have Nots a couple seasons ago.
Thanks for the great recap, Pop Culture Kelly! I fell asleep after Toya’s naked model painting party so thank you for the wonderful butt picture above.
I don’t like Contessa this year. She’s cranky. I’m cranky right now, too, so I don’t want to escape to crankytown. I hope she and Scott get it together. They didn’t discuss her going to Nashville for school nor withdrawing from school. Very strange!
I also want Kari to come back and send Quad over to RHOA. Why is Quad on the show if she’s not going to share her life?
I hope your zoo feels better! Hang in there!!
Thank you Coco!! I agree with all you said. And thank you, mono sucks but we’re slowly getting better ❤️❤️
Your re-ap was hilarious. I sure needed the laugh this morning. My ex rolled back into town. Let the buffoonery begin…
Haha thank you!! Awwwe no, I hope it goes ok!!
I like Contessa, but am not enjoying this storyline. Bring Kari back and send Quad somewhere, anywhere else but on this show, she’s is so annoying and fake.
I ‘ m seeing this season ,that I actually took three times of trying, to see if it was me.
I can not get past this season the cast appearing to be co-workers and no longer long term deep frienships. And this has zero to do with the recaps, I love them.
The way they look, act, and respond to each other appear to be no longer authentic.
Mostly Jackie, Heavenly and Simone, Toya and Quad as well a s Contessa.
Guess that is all of them. Mariah seems a bit lost.
And why in the hell did bringing Joseline Hernandez to insult the women come across to ANYONE as a good idea?
Am I just reading everyone wrong? Or has reality curse hit M2M?
Oh no!! Cheryl no!! Ok yes they totally jumped the shark with Joseline. But they really are friends (Jackie and Simone, Heavenly and Jackie). Please try to hang in!! Will you give it one more shot this Sunday?
For you, absolutely. I was so torn, that i needed guidance, lol.
Thanks Kelly. 🙂
Awww thank you!! Sunday looks awesome, I hope you get into it! If not, we always have Twitter ❤️?
