Tonight is the season finale Married to Medicine recap. We’re going to need 100cc’s of Xanax to get through all the drama this episode will surely bring! To get yourself caught up click here. We begin with Toya planning her housewarming party. It will be Arabia Nights theme. There will be a fire eater, a snake charmer…Eugene’s $10,000 budget is going to bust at the seams. Toya did agree to get a $2,000 camel instead of a $4500 one, so maybe she did learn something? Her house is gorgeous so she wants to show it off. It may not have furniture yet but it deserves to be seen.
Reunited And It Feels So Good?
Contessa and Scott are at their house (not) watching the kids swim. They discuss Scott’s recent 180 degree turn on Contessa going back to school. Contessa is excited. Scott agrees to take the kids to see her more often in Nashville. Contessa wants a nanny to help Scott at home while she’s away. They seem to be in a good place, which makes me happy to see. Their little girls with their “Mermaid” bathing suits have me smiling so hard! They are a cute family.

Curtis and Jackie are home with construction workers and architects. Jackie and Curtis demolish a wall with the promise of new beginnings. To show Curtis how devoted she is to him, she tells him that she booked a trip to the South of France. The kicker: she has taken 10 business days off to spend with him. That means a lot to Curtis. With the swing of an ax, they demolish the past and resolve to stay committed to the future.
Making An Entrance…With A Camel?
It’s party night! Simone, Cecil, Buffie and David arrive together. In the car ride over, they discuss the Jackie situation. Buffie is still really hurt over Jackie exposing her fertility issues to a group of friends and strangers. Simone doesn’t think that Jackie understands how hurt Buffie still is. Toya makes her grand entrance: carried in by men with a camel by their side. Kari is there too! It’s good to see her. The rest of the ladies meander in after Toya’s big entrance. Mariah brings Lake to the party. Contessa finds it cowardly that Mariah always rolls in with her backup.

The guys all convene together. Damon gives a sweet speech about how proud he is of Eugene. He has knows Eugene for years, even prior to Eugene marrying Toya. They’ve been through a lot together so he is proud to see Eugene come out so strong. I love the guys and their friendship so, so much.
We Are Never Getting Back Together
Quad and Heavenly discuss Mariah. Quad says that Mariah “doctored the documents” that “prove” Mariah hasn’t done coke. She is adamant that she isn’t saying that she heard, she’s saying what she knows. Oof. These two will never reconcile. Like ever.

Speaking of reconciliation, Simone pulls Jackie aside for a talk. Simone tells Jackie that she isn’t happy with how she outed Buffie. Jackie may be outspoken about her infertility and pain, but Buffie isn’t there yet. Jackie wants to know why Simone won’t let this go. She says that she’s willing to talk to Buffie, so Simone goes to get her. But, Jackie isn’t happy that her friend Simone isn’t backing her up.
Two Story Closet Full Of Pain
Jackie sincerely apologizes to Buffie. Buffie starts crying, saying that she shut down when Jackie outed her pain. My God, Buffie is so raw. She’s truly, truly hurting. I do like Jackie but I don’t feel like she’s being the most empathetic person while Buffie breaks down. Simone takes Buffie to the bathroom. David comes to console her. She can’t stop crying.

She’s embarrassed and has to leave. Toya sees her but stops her from leaving. She wants to take her to the two story closet to cheer her up. Toya says it’s impossible to feel anything but happiness in the closet. All the ladies, minus Jackie, go to the closet. Jackie wants to take a break from the group. She’s too tired apologizing to these women.
Things Go From Bad To Worse
What happens next is something that made me want to jump through the TV to help Buffie. Buffie is having a true, raw breakdown. You can see that with every new person coming into the room, the more trapped Buffie feels. She looks cornered.
Contessa goes over to her, gets in her face, actually puts her hands on Buffie’s face and SCREAMS that everyone has been through shit so get yourself together. Screams like a drill sergeant. All Buffie hears is Contessa dismissing and demeaning her pain.
David comes to the rescue to get her the fuck out of there. Holy shit! I do see where Contessa (in her own head) meant well by trying to give a pep talk. That was not the time for a pep talk. Buffie needed comfort and empathy, not Contessa in her face. Poor Buffie. I just wanted to rescue her from the madness.

Mariah and Contessa get into it next. Mariah wants to know why Contessa asks people what’s wrong if she doesn’t want to really know the answer. Toya points out that how Contessa feels now is how Buffie felt with Contessa’s hands on her face. Mariah and Contessa start screaming at each other about miscarriages.
I think Mariah said that Contessa feels that someone having a miscarriage at six weeks isn’t a big deal? I hope that’s not what she said. Contessa wants to know why Mariah brings Lake in to say the things she’s too scared to say. Outside, Simone tries to tell Contessa how it went south. Contessa is willing to apologize for her wrongdoings. Mariah is talking to her sister and a friend about what happened. Mariah feels that this is a group of hypocrites. Eugene tells Toya how proud he is of her. The house was her vision, he’s just footing the bill. They try to end the night on a positive note.
Next week on the Married to Medicine reunion recap: Jackie and Simone are fighting (oh no!). Buffie and Heavenly go at it and Heavenly calls Buffie fat (oh no she didn’t!). Heavenly and Simone fight backstage when Simone implies Daddy did something untoward while out drinking with Cecil (stop it!). I can’t believe we’re almost at the end here! Thank you to everyone who reads and comments. I wish you all the most amazing holiday season, whatever holiday you celebrate.

I am deeply grateful to you all, especially our amazing Tamara. She has created this family-like site where we all come together over a shared love of Bravo. Tamara, you are the gift that keeps on giving! This has been such a gift to be able to write about what I love, while getting to know you all in the process. Love, peace and happiness to you all! See you in the comments!
Great recap Kelly! The thing I use to love about this show was that they always kept it classy, for the most part..they apologized honestly and moved on…for the most part. but it seems like the ladies are really hitting below the belt and fighting very mean. I don’t know why Quad is still on the show, she is no longer married to medicine and I don’t feel she shares her real life. She would do better on RHOA. I think if Quad leaves, it will help to reset things a bit. I also think dr Jackie should leave and I hope her and dr Simone can repair there relationship. Dr heavenly is messy, it sounds like she was hiding a lot of things about Eugene (preview indicates he drinks a lot). I just hope the cast and friends are able to come around and get along again. I don’t like these vicious fights on M2M
Thank you!! I agree. Quad would make a great addition to Atlanta. I don’t like the viciousness either. Next week looks like a LOT of fighting. Happy Holidays to you and yours!!!
Hi Kelly! I didn’t get to watch this yet because for some reason my taping didn’t go through!!!! So I will have to go to on demand.
I will be back to talk!!!
HOWEVER, I want to wish you and your family and beautiful and magical Christmas and Holiday season. Blessings and peace from our home to yours!
Least our football boys made the playoffs , right? Great game.
Big hugs to you!
Hi sweetie! Yes please let me know when you watch. It was a doozy!!!! Aaah yes our boys somehow got into the playoffs! Hopefully they keep playing like they played Saturday. And how about the 50 degeees today??? Sending you and yours sooo much love and happiness this Christmas ❤️❤️
I’m glad you described it as a pep talk because I honestly didn’t know WHAT that was! I thought Contessa had taken leave of her senses.
Buffy was heart breaking. I somewhat understand where she’s coming from however I wonder if she’s so used to buying her way that she doesn’t know how to handle it when she can’t get what she wants. I thought most women at some point accept the find a way to deal with infertility. I wonder if that’s also the reason for Dr. Jackie’s stoicism. And briefly it looked like Dr. Jackie went stone faced to keep from crying and reliving her own pain.
I really wish Mariah AND Quad would take a leave of absence from the show…for goof.
Buffy isn’t infertile!! She has been pregnant several times but miscarriages. Being infertile means never or an inability to conceive. Buffy has conceived and has suffered tragic devastating losses.
It was hard to watch. I hope Contessa is horrified when she watches it back. Happy holidays!!!
Hi Kelly, my comment is over at October 30th. I have no idea how it why, lol!!!!
Hi sweetie! Ooh that was your birthday shout out one, that’s why! 😂 Happy holidays my love!!!
Happy holidays to you!!
🎀❄✨⛄🎄🎁😇💖
Since it’s the holidays I’ll keep it positive and not go deep (again) into how disappointed I’ve been with Jackie and Contessa this season.
Instead, I’d like to thank you, Kelly, for your awesome recaps! I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to do these consistently when you’re dealing with ultra painful health issues. We really appreciate your great writing and keeping us updated on the world of M2M.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!
Awww thank you Harlan! It’s been rough but I hate to complain when so many people have it worse. Tamra gave me this incredible opportunity so I just want to do good by her and you all. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season as well!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Quad needs to leave this show. It’s weird that’s she on here and has no link to medicine. She doesn’t reveal enough about her life to be interesting on this type of show. She only meets up with people to talk about Mariah and her divorce proceedings. Yawn.., Ok she’s now divorced, exit to the left. Contessa has yet another contrived storyline. Scott makes a magical 180 right before the finale. Any sane people with their means would have hired a nanny before she left for Nashville at the beginning of the school year, but then there would haven’t been a storyline. Contessa can leave right with Quad.
You are so right about Countessa. I find her so fake, I just forget about her. Why did they never hire a replacement for the nanny? Also, people shouldn’t play with their marriage like that.
Quad shouldn’t be on there. Shes no longer married to medicine. How’s she going to say Mariah famed the drug test. She had a tv crew in there with her. Contessa can go to that school online. Her kids are supposed to come first. It’s not her husbands fault. After what she spent on a kids birthday party. She got her nerve saying anything about Toya party. I dont like Jackie, contessa, or heavenly this year.
I do agree with you. Scott’s 180 came out of nowhere. Happy holidays!!
That episode was a little hard to watch. Toya should have let Buffie leave the first time… i don’t know how going into a closet would help someone having a breakdown.
I think I will just come here for the reunion recap and skip watching. I can’t stomach Heavenly, and her disgusting soul, on my TV any longer.
Thanks, PCK, for taking the hit!
Toya just didn’t want the opportunity to show off her closet. It had nothing to do with making Buffy feel better.
Totally agree with you opinion of Heavenly. She is vile, but I do love her husband.
Awww thank you Blah! Hopefully I do it justice. Reunions are tough but I’ll give it my all. Happy holidays to you and yours!!!
REUNION RECAPS ARE THE HARDEST EVER. If you try to go the SHE SAID THIS AND THEN SHE SAID THAT it will take you like five hours. Believe me. And I used to do that. And even now, when I try to say things more like this one and that one screamed at each other I still end up giving play by plays.
I misunderstood an email from my puller and thought the other night had three back to back reunions instead of three back to back shows ending with one reunion. I was pretty sick with whatever head cold is going around and I was literally like, “KILL ME NOW. I CAN’T DO THIS.”
Just take your time. My motto for 2020 is stop stressing about getting shit up fast. Or at all. Just do what doesn’t stress you out. 🙂
Amen, we aren’t going anywhere! Merry Christmas Pop, thank you for the recaps they keep me in the loop when I’m behind in watching.
The best part of this show is the relationship of the husbands.
I agree! I told my husband that last night.
Damon gave me all of the feels when he told the group how proud he was of Eugene. I love seeing the guys having authentic friendships, regardless if their wives are fighting.
The friendship between the men is one of the best in any franchise. They’re so genuine and really, truly like each other. Damon was like a proud big brother with Eugene. Loved every second of it.
Thank you Kelly for the splendid job you’ve done recapping all season. I hope this holiday brings you all the wonders the season has to offer — especially for the little ones. And the newlyweds!
Like you, I used to ADORE and RESPECT Contessa. She seemed as authentic as she seems fake now. I have NEVER had the “baby bug.” But I get it! I’ve seen people never get over not being able to conceive, or not being able to give their child a sibling. It’s ruined marriages. Buffy gave some insight when she said she felt “less than” when she couldn’t do something every woman can. It may not makes sense BUT IT’S HOW SHE FEELS. Contessa! No wonder Contessa loved the military, she is cold. Calling Buffy “baby girl” was the topper.
For about two seconds, I was on Mariah’s side. Then NOT. Nice to see Kari. Sad that Quad and Kenya had beef on a WWHL. I was ready for Hurricane Quadya to mow down Moose Mountain.
Jackie and Simone. Whatever. Toya is growing on me. I LOVE ALL THE MEN now that Whiney Greg is gone.
Whew. I was afraid that I’d have to go all in on the comments but Nanette has NAILED IT. Thanks for doing such a great job. I wish that Buffie would have left so that I didn’t have to witness the closet scene. Just no.
Happy Holidays PCK and commenters!
Awww Nanette thank you so, so much!! I wish the same to you and yours!!! Haha I love that you refer to us as newlyweds. It makes me smile every time ❤️❤️ I completely agree with you everything you said. As Hihokermit says, you nailed it! And same to you Hiho!!!! ❤️
Jackie’s apologies to Buffy were never sincere. As a physician, Jackie’s ethical standards are not very high.
Then Contessa has to go on her rant. What’s wrong with people? They were dreadful scenes to watch, particularly Buffy’s pain. Thankfully her husband is a really stand-up guy.
I’ve never been happier to see David then when he took her out of that closet. It was really tough to watch.
Say what you like about Toya but she is the most authentic of the ladies… Mariah I like but something is really off and she is edited more like a friend of the show… her talking heads are very fake… to many yasss etc.. and shade that comes over corny. Quad has been the victim in every season and in every conflict its exhausting. Simone I dont care she is loud and ghetto I like her… Jackie looks malnourished and I say it with no shade… she looks sickly. She has never grown on me, very passive aggressive. Contessa is a fame whore that is becoming a monster. She needs a stylist STAT… and a honest glam squad because she looks horrendous most of the time. And Heavenly is trash… she is ugly inside and out… I do notice that no one comes for Mariah when Lake is around… maybe she is a guard dog… Lake looks like Mariahs older sister… But didn’t Contessa stop to think that Toya invited Lake? After all they know each other.
Well, Kelly, WOW! I am blown away by this little episode. Let me just ask, was Toya’s house (the one they had to move from) smaller or less than this house? So, what has changed , financially, that she/they can afford this and not that. She still seems to be spending money like a gambler on a high! I don’t get that at all. My poor Eugene is going to be working a lot of overtime in the ER again if they don’t watch it.
I don’t know who/what this new Jackie is but I am not sure that I like it. I agree with @Candace, she looks way to thin. There just doesn’t seem to be much warmth from her towards anyone. She is always on guard. I like her , I think she is a good doctor, or seems to be, but not sure about her personal relationships. Her and Curtis just seem kind of distant from each other.
I am so sick of Mariah and Quad. I really am. The two of them are so nasty to one another and just seem to one tear each other up. It’s not pleasant or entertaining to watch and I am finding myself FF through their scenes. It’s like they planned this together because this is the only story line either of them have.
I have to say, I feel for Buffy, big time. I do think if this is affecting her mental health though, she should remove herself from this show. Once these women(and I mean all HW”s and like) get a bone they chew till it’s gone. I would think no amount of money is worth this kind of pain. I know.
Now, my big disappointment this season is Contessa. I understood a lot of what she was saying about the school and all that. Although the way it was presented on the show didn’t seem like it was all one persons fault. I think there was a deeper issue of communication that did not, in any way, get resolved. Communication is so important in any relationship that I would almost bet this will rear it’s nasty head again. BUT, her confrontation with Buffie was horrific! I do think she has issues (Buffie) but I also think Contessa thinks she is a drill sergeant and she is going to shout Buffie’s hurt away. Yes, everyone has gone through stuff but some stuff is so devastating that you never truly recover because it alters every aspect of your life. We all move on from stuff but not by having someone shouting it out in our faces! Contessa needs to take a seat.
See you at reunion Kelly!
You are right about the chemistry between Jackie and Curtis.. some seemed forced, like she is trying to hard to prove she is happy in her relationship.
I am so annoyed with Simone and Toya this year they contradict so much. Just saw the reunion part two and for Simone to involve Dr Damon was uncalled for and unjustified because he doesn’t get involved with the show, however her husband is always commenting and more caught in the drama. Her marriage is doing better, I suspect it is because they right now have a common enemy and that triangulation will not last.
