Welcome back to your favorite Married To Medicine recap! I’m so sorry it’s a day late but yesterday was my birthday. I was given a VERY surprising surprise party that lasted well past recap time. Hopefully these ladies have the medicine to cure this post-party hangover! We begin with the ladies waking up from the big to-do from last week. Heavenly is firmly #teamQuad. Everyone else is firmly #teamtootoxictofuckwith. Simone does have regrets about not defending Mariah more as she has never witnessed Mariah do drugs. Jackie is the same but again, no one wants to get involved.
Can’t Have It All
Scott goes to Cecil for some man time. He says he is jealous of Cecil’s boom boom room, but I really think he’s jealous that Cecil and Simone worked through their issues. Scott is feeling resentment from Contessa for withdrawing from her Public Health program. Cecil suggests counseling. Meanwhile, Contessa explains to Jackie that she went out of state because it was cheaper. Plus it had a one year program instead of two. She still feels like she could have made it work. Jackie wants Contessa to realize that she can be an alpha woman but something has to give. She can’t be the best mom, wife, and doctor. Something has to give.
Perched On The Porch
Mariah and Toya have a talk on the porch. Mariah thinks Quad went too far with the drug accusations. My opinion on this is that BOTH have gone too far. Mariah accuses Quad of adultery and using Dr. G for his money. Quad accuses Mariah of using drugs. They both have gone too far but this has such a deep, dark past that it’s almost too dark for this show. There is a seething hatred from both that is scary, raw and real.
Masked and Unmasked
The ladies get ready for Jackie’s latest gimmick: a masked dinner. This is some deep shit, Jackie.. Toya isn’t buying it. She’s not exposing herself to anyone tonight. Producers wanted Toya to stir things up so she mentions “coke”. And we’re off! Simone tells Mariah straight up that she’s disgusted about this whole thing with her and Quad. Simone just wants it to stop. Quad and Simone end up in the bathroom. Simone states that she never saw Mariah take drugs. Quad insists that she, in fact, did.

At the table, Toya tries to get Jackie to read Mariah’s test results. Jackie refuses. She will not step too deep in this muck. Mariah is upset that Jackie won’t read the results to exonerate her. She goes to bus, dinner over. Y’all hate on Contessa, but my girl was the only one smart enough to get the food to go!
Heaven Help Them
Before they head home, Jackie has arranged a visit to Second African Baptist Church. It’s steeped in history, absolutely beautiful. It was built by slaves in order to help free other slaves. It’s called “The Church of Freedom”. Martin Luther King spoke there. It’s where the Civil Rights movement began. I’m not crying, you are! The ladies all take turns stating what they are grateful for. It was nice to see their humility and vulnerability in such a beautiful place. They all leave Savannah feeling in a better place.
Alaura Is All Of Us
Heavenly’s daughter Alaura is a HouseChild Unicorn. She is mature, kind, beautiful and can read her mother like no other. She gives back to Heavenly all that she dishes out. I cannot do it justice through a recap. She is just awesome. Heavenly has done something really, really right with Alaura.

Couple’s Dinner
Ayden, Mariah, Toya and Eugene go out for a couples dinner. They rehash Savannah and how Mariah feels that a lot of the women side with Quad. Eugene cannot believe that Jackie didn’t open the drug test results. He feels that being read by a doctor, Jackie could have exonerated her. Mariah thinks it’s Jackie being messy. Eugene says that these results are accurate. Eugene thinks that Jackie wouldn’t look because Jackie isn’t on Mariah’s “team”. Mariah will keep Jackie at arm’s length.
On next week’s Married To Medicine recap: Jackie and Curtis’s home renovation begins; Contessa’s dad comes to visit so she has to shade Scott; Quad has a book launch that Toya and Simone walk out of. Thank you all for reading! I read every single comment. I’m so sorry I wasn’t active this week as the zoo is just now really getting over the great mono plague of 2019. I will see you all there. Can’t wait to see what you think of this week’s episode!
Happy Belated Birthday! Another great recap.
Thank you so much!! 😊
Happy Birthday!! How fun. 💐🎂🍸
Recap great as always. Thanks. 😊
(I will watch in honor of your birthday, lol)
Haha Awwe best Birthday gift ever! If nothing else I’m sure you’ll like the Alaura/Heavenly scene 😊
Happiest of happy birthdays!!! Great recap! I don’t know why Mariah has to talk about this every damn episode. If she’d let it go everyone would have forgotten about it, but not Mariah she’s the eternal victim who is actually the instigator of all the crap. This season Toya is her puppet and Eugene is her bitch. Those two are so wish washy there loyalty floats wherever the wind blows them. I guess Toya forgot Mariah and her ugly mother beat her ass a few seasons ago. Yep I said it Mariah’s mom is ugly inside and out. I can see why Jackie didn’t want to read the results. First, she wants nothing more to do with it and second you can alter results by using color, straighteners, certain shampoos, etc. look it up on the internet plus I work in a lab.
I totally agree with you. It takes two to tango, Mariah has said some horrible things about some of the other women. Just maybe if she would stop being shady and stop talking about others then they could all grow and be true friends Next week we will see Mariah and her crew talk about Quad (that’s another reason why people don’t want to get involved). Unfortunately, Mariah will always be the perpetual victim.
Thank you so much Pix!!!! Yeah these two have such a dark past and such hatred for each other. If I knew them personally I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. No way.
I love M2M. I’m not a fan of Mariah or Quad. I had forgotten about the drug use accusation and the reunion until Mariah keeps bringing it up as she searches hard for a story line. Quad is soon to be no longer married to medicine and should be downgraded to a friend and not a main cast member. Great recap Kelly and Happy Belated Birthday!
FYI Quad’s divorce was finalized on October 4th after months of her husband dragging his feet about his money, property, earnings etc.
Is Quad still doing an am morning show in ATL?
Thank you so much Tracy!!! Yes I’m with you. I just can’t with either of them honestly. Ooooh TT thank you!!! She did say in the show that the divorce was nearing an end. I can imagine it’s been nasty. Oooooh great question Kipper!! I think so but I’ll do some digging to be sure.
I am not feeling Buffy and I hope that she will not be back next season.
Totally agree
Not exactly team Mariah. But I do think that Quad is and was an opportunist. I believe that her friendship with Mariah was genuine so they have a lot of dirt on each other. I do believe that Quad was who Mariah said she was, other sources confirmed it. Quad was the break out star in season one and Mariah felt a way so friendship deteriorated. Mariah was jealous. She thought she would be the star and she probably rubbed everyone else the wrong way. So alot of them was team Quad early on. I think Jackie was never Mariahs friend and resented her more for her comments on Jackie being motherless. A grudge she hold to this day. Jackie refusal to look at the results shows that. It would have been respectful to do it. But if you dont care for the person. Who cares right. Quad is sucking the life out the show, and probably should be demoted to friend of Heavenly. Heavenly is horrible and her daughters grace is not enough to redeem her. Toya has never changed but she fell off. She dressed much better previous seasons. Buffie can go.
Yeah you nailed it with Jackie. She clearly has never cared for Mariah.
Heavenly and Quad should get off the show.!!!! They are destroying the show. They used the show to say nasty things to cast mates and that’s not why the show is about.
Amen sister. I really did get tears in my eyes when they went to the church and the pastor spoke it’s history. What an incredibly brave task those newly free men took on in the name of God. It makes me tear up now. It was deeply humbling.
I think Quad was just tired of being Mariahs sidekick, which she was only doing because like you said she’s an opportunist, and when she didn’t need her anymore she stopped playing that role.
I think you nailed it ..Mariah was super jealous that Quad was the breakout star.. And then to top it off they down graded Mariah to a friend and season 3 THEN…. Quad let it go to her head and now has become a certifiable diva…. Question though because I have not watched it yet…. If Mariah consented to do the test…. isnt Mariah and entitled to know the answers? .. If Mariah gave consent I don’t know why she didn’t give the results or at least given them to Mariah to state the results.??? Something off there.
Mariah did consent to the test and she said she did 3 different types each show she was drug free and has been for many years.
Happy Birthday Pop Culture Kelly! Thank you for the recap, I’m weeks behind but reading here, hope to catch up later this week. I love Savannah so looking forward to viewing the trip.
Awee thank you Kipper!!! I’ve never been to Savannah but it’s on the bucket list. Seeing that church and learning a bit of it’s history had me in tears. The pure hell people had to endure and the beauty they made from it will never cease to amaze me. Let me know what you think when you watch it!
Oh and Happy Birthday and thank you for recapping. Life has been busy and you caught me up last week.
Thank you!!! Life is crazy, I’m glad I could help! 🙂
I’ve always been suspicious why Mariah allows herself to be disrespected, and during one period, ostracised by the group on a show she helped to create. Mariah seems sneaky and dishonest and perhaps the cast know even more salacious gossip about her behind the scenes . I’d also question Dr Aydin’s mental stability. I totally agree with Jackie distancing herself from these tests. Jackie is savvy enough and knows Mariah well enough , that such tests can be compromised . No surprise that messy Eugene gets involved . I’m not a fan of Quad either but I find her fascinating to watch. Quad shouldn’t have to leave now that she is divorced but she will have to be prepared to share more of her private life including dating . Alaura is beautiful and confident…. and as annoying as most reality tv kids who appear on their parents show , with their “ witty” and often well rehearsed input.
Happy birthday WEEK Kelly — I think you deserve a week after the year you had — good, but a lot. Blending families is a lot of change.
The first episode I watched was the one where Kary and Mariah had a joint birthday party for their husbands. Mariah was late — REALLY late. She was dressed like a lady and acted like trash. I think she was high at the birthday party, not just booze. Physically fighting with Toya, glass by Kari’s pool. I hated her immediately. Still do. Shocked that Eugene doesn’t know those tests only go back as far as the hair is long. Mariah’s hair is neither 10 (her claim) nor 5 (his claim) years old; it’s 2.5 years at most.
On WWHL, Jackie said it was her standing as a doctor that stopped her from looking at the test; as a doctor, she would have to ask questions surrounding the test. (Like that it couldn’t prove drugs or not 10 years back!)
Aloura is one of the best things about this show. On Bravo, period. She is on par with Stassi’s younger brother, Nikolai.
I thought the test don’t go that far back. I don’t know how Toya (and Kary) could ever forgive Mariah and her mother for starting that fight in season 1. I think that’s another reason why they are keeping their distance from her. Has Mariah forgotten about that?!
Some sites say they can go back that far. HOWEVER, it appears that it is usually a HAIR FOLLICLE test and not a test of the strands of hair, And while I am Team Mariah because I don’t watch the show much, if IT IS YOUR REAL HAIR, it seems you could go back years. Maybe. But I don’t think that was all all Mariah’s hair, and even if it was, It would, it appears to me, to have to be nearly 60 inches long. to go back ten years.
They CUT HER HAIR and I don’t think that is normal. I think they usually pull out a follicle that only goes a short while back and even if they were testing “for ten years” they would not have CUT A CLUMP OF HAIR, They only need to PLUCK one hair.
I’m still Team Mariah though. Leave her alone. Again, I have seen maybe ten episodes of this show ever
I recognized the lab as labcorp… this is a nationwide lab and one of the major labs in the country. I believe that the test results are accurate. I think that Quad thought she saw something suspicious and assumed she was doing coke but never actually saw her snorting. I think Quad will not back off her story. Because she doesn’t want to look like a liar, we have to hear what Quad saw exactly to make her think that Mariah was doing coke. Did she actually see her snorting or assumed she was.
I know! they could’ve been eating beignets for crying out loud! Everyone knows the powdered sugar gets everywhere! LOL
Happy birthday Pop Culture Kelly! I always enjoy your recaps and this was no exception. I’m crying over #teamtootoxictofuckwith
HILARIOUS 😂
Happy belated Birthday Kelly. Jackie finally showed her true colors. You don’t get to discuss the rumor on your radio platform and the show and then decline to see the proof that would exonerate Mariah from the rumors. Heavenly now wants nothing to do with it after interjecting herself on the radio AND on the bus ride home.
Had it been Mariah who said it about Quad the ladies would have torn her a new one and I am sick of the double standards in the group. Jackie excuse for not viewing the results on WWHL was even worse. They clearly don’t want to see the results because it would require genuine apologies and they would rather just hate the lady then admit for once, this time, she is right.
She’s said nasty things about all of them, but they’ve said and done nasty things as well. At this point we need new ladies in the group to move the show forward.
I try to watch this show each week, but get bored quickly. Same dinners and outings, same arguments. That goodness Quad got divorced already — so sick of that story and her. This show seems to be failing and I wonder what the ratings are doing.
I want to see more of Simone and her family, the men getting together, the new house — fun stuff. Not repetitive dinners where they argue over the same stuff. yawn
Happy Birthday Kelly!
Although I like Quad, she annoyed me with her dramatics at the church. Talking about being “naked”. Yada, yada….
If Mariah is so hurt and feeling ostracized, I wish she would leave the show. Maybe I’m jaded, but being accused of doing drugs is not that serious. No one would even be thinking about it if she didn’t keep the story alive.
I don’t understand the hating on Heavenly. She is hilarious. The show would be rather boring without her. I still laugh when I think of Alaura’s expression when Heavenly told her she had a dispute with a woman named Cone-Tessa! 😂😂😂
Happy Birthday Kelly! So glad you had an amazing and great birthday. I think the Pat’s won just for you!!!!!!
I just love these women, I don’t know why but I do. Love the men on this show too. I think most of them are adorable.
I just don’t know what to think of Mariah and Quad. Honestly I don’t even know if I care. What does bother me is that Heavenly and Jackie would bring it up on the Podcast. I don’t like that kind of thing even if you don’t like someone and even if you have ALL the receipts. Not cool.
Now, did I miss something last season were Contessa and her husband at odds so much then? It just seems I remember her Daddy coming into the picture and her and her husband being welcoming and loving to him. Now he is going to be watching the kids ? Does her hubs work?
Awwwe thank you!! I’ve been missing you on here!! OMG our Pats!! They’re kicking ass and taking names!! I love them too. I am so not team either Quad or Mariah honestly. No you didn’t miss anything, we’re all confused about Scott and contessa lol. It came out of nowhere (to me anyway). I hope they can fix it. Scott is a doctor as well. It’s all very bizarre.
