This is the last Married to Medicine recap of the season! I’m so sad. After last week’s two parter, I can’t wait to see how they’ll top that! We get the women backstage after last week’s fight between Simone and Heavenly. Contessa had carried Heavenly out of the room to avoid a fight. Jackie leaves the room to avoid the chaos and get her makeup touched up. Heavenly comes back in the room a little calmer. She and Simone patch things up. To celebrate, Simone tackles Heavenly to the floor where Quad straddles both of them. This is true friendship! I love how they can fight hard then love so hard.
Here Come The Husbands
The guys come out on stage to sit behind their wives. We get caught up on how Cecil and Simone’s marriage only got better due to the friendships on the show. That is the truth since we all witnessed their marriage being saved during a reunion a few years ago. Jackie and Curtis had to postpone their south of France trip due to having no roof on their house. Construction is apparently super slow. Andy points out to Quad that Cecil mentioned how Dr. G is still in love with her. Quad tears up. Andy asks Quad point blank: are you still in love with Greg? Quad opens her mouth to answer …and we go to commercial! Freakin’ Andrew.

Quad doesn’t directly answer but she says she likes to hear that the good times they had mattered. Hmmm. A few questions come in about Mariah and Aydin’s religion. Mariah grew up Christian, Aydin Muslim. They have infused both religions into their household. Lake calling Quad a ho during Ramadan is brought up. Mariah begins to blame production for showing only that part of dinner on the show. Andy calls her out for deflecting. We all saw that Quad was discussed during that dinner. Mariah insists that she didn’t want to talk about Quad during Ramadan.

Aydin tries to talk but Quad won’t stop talking. He tells her to be quiet, which Heavenly and Quad take exception to. After more talking over each other, Aydin finally gets to speak. He says that it was a tiny part of a longer dinner. After all that, that’s all Aydin gets to say. Mariah says she won’t even talk about their religion on the show because they don’t have the support. It’s seemingly implied that Heavenly said something about it? Heavenly denies it. IF Mariah and Aydin are too uncomfortable to discuss their religion on the show, then that’s a damn shame.
The Seats Are Smoking Hot For Contessa And Scott
Now for the moment a lot of you have been waiting for: Contessa and Scott in the hot seat! I hope Contessa doesn’t cry because those lashes just won’t allow for that. Andy asks her what we were all thinking: why not an Atlanta school? Contessa says the only school that had her specific program was in Nashville. Toya is the only one who said that she didn’t agree with Contessa going to Nashville. Contessa will be done with her program by the end of the summer.

When asked about her comments about Scott making her quit the Navy, we get dangerously close to those tarantula lashes coming off. She tears up, saying that she always dreamed of being Secretary of the Navy. Scott had moved to Atlanta and after their second child was born, he didn’t want to move anymore. The Navy was going to move her so she quit. Toya then speaks up saying that when you’re married, you have to make big decisions together. It’s about the family, not just the individual anymore. Contessa seems to agree with that. Toya is all of us during this segment.
No Sex In The Champagne Room-Or A Cabo Strip Club
The Cabo/strip club adventure is highlighted. Damn that stripper was ballsy asking Daddy if he wanted sex! Bejesus. Heavenly just saw the episode now and you can see how pissed off she is. She doesn’t like anyone looking or feelin’ on daddy. Everyone agrees that they felt a little giddy watching Daddy and Heavenly have some problems after pretending they don’t have many. Heavenly insists that if one of these women on the show were to cheat, she wouldn’t get caught. She says that men aren’t detail oriented so the women are already three steps ahead of them. I mean, none of the women seem like cheaters to me. After Heavenly saying that so adamantly, I’m now wondering who it is!

The men leave the stage. Our ladies using their mad doctoring skills with Buffie, Contessa’s dad and Toya is our next montage. Contessa’s dad is so happy with his smile that Heavenly gave him. Toya used to see Jackie for her OB/GYN needs but now sees Simone. After how caring and supportive Simone was with her miscariage, I can see why. Simone discussing consent to her sons is brought up. I know that as a mom of two boys, that was something that hit home to personally. I had that talk with my 14 year old son the next day.
Married To Medicine LA Will Be Back
The ladies go to L.A for a Married To Medicine LA crossover. Ugh. Heavenly argues with one of the cast members, so it may be worth tuning into. We near the close of the reunion with what the ladies hope for the next season. Everyone is hopeful for mending fences with who they need to mend fences with. Jackie ends it by recognizing that growth is good. All these women have grown and changed, which is a good thing. Andy says he loves these M2M reunions because they genuinely leave the reunions in a better place than when they came in. I agree Andrew, I agree.

That’s a wrap! Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I’ll miss you all more than you know! Hopefully Tamara will have me back for Summer House. Much different show but equally entertaining. It looks soooo good this season! Wishing you all the best in this new year! Let’s keep this party going in the comments. Feel free to hit me up on my Twitter as well!
Thank you for the recaps this season.
I was happy to see all the love and friendship restored on M2M.
How did Heavenly lose all that weight?
Heavenly had gastric bypass surgery. She also had loose skin removed, and possibly other surgeries.
Did she??? Wow. I wish she would fix my teeth but I can’t afford her ?
Thank you so much for reading!!! It made me happy too. This is the only franchise I can think of that has such strong connections and only come out stronger at the end. Honestly not sure about how she lost her weight. She looked great at the reunion though!
I thought I heard Quad(?) /Toya (?) say off camera, Heavenly was “feeling herself after her surgery.”
Gastric bypass is severe surgery for someone with such a small weight problem, isn’t it?
Well, good for her anyway. She looks very thin.
M2M is one of my favorite shows because the women actually have careers. That’s what I want to see, women with real careers, living THE life. Aspirational as well as entertaining.
Thank you for your recaps this season, Kelly. I hope you also recap Summer House, which l’m really looking forward to…very guilty pleasure!
Thank you Deb-I am!! Such a guilty pleasure!
Thank you for the great recaps this season and bring on Summer House (my guilty pleasure as well)!! I admire the women on M2M and you said it perfectly, they work hard, fight hard and love hard! Last year’s reunion with Simone & Cecile showed that these friendships are real and they care about each other. I do wish Mariah & Quad would get back to being friends (although they were ruthless against the other women) but I admire how they can still travel together & be in the group. I just wish either the accusations would stop or the real tea would be revealed! Not sure how Quad fits in anymore … maybe RHOA is her next gig. I love/hate all of them for different reasons but collectively, they are an ensemble cast with real friendships & real life shit which makes this show my favorite! I want more! However … Not to thrilled with LA but I’ll watch cross over episode just to see Heavenly say “your mamma”! I’m going to miss the weekly escape from the shit show that is my life right now so Summer House and Shahs will have to do!
Thank you Pauline! This is such a great show. I’ll only watch LA for the crossover. I never took to the first season. We’re on to Summer House!!!!! ❤️
I’m watching reunion all three episodes FOR YOU ?.
Thanks for all your recapping.
Summer House is a “O YEAH!”

Which one is the dentist? I was bamboozled into veneers many years ago. I have a family history of week teeth. the backs are coming undone. I think I need more of a cosmetic dentist though,,
I’ve always thought I would love veneers…if I could afford them. I’ve read there are different types and different price levels. I hate my teeth. I had braces as a teen, top teeth stayed straight, but bottom teeth continue moving the older I get. I can’t whiten my teeth either…some vitamin from childhood. I hate the color. What will you have to do to fix your veneers? Is that common to have issues?
I went to a fancy pants dentist back in the day. Veneers to not last forever. Not sure about next steps, I have four or so on the the top. My family has very bad teeth. So I dunno. I am just trying to avoid dentures at any cost and I am not sure that is possible…
I hate it for you. I would want to avoid dentures too. At the least, I’d like to try Invisalign or something on my lower teeth from mine shifting. I did not realize that veneers don’t hold up long term….I guess I should have. They cost so damn much. I love Kyle Richards! I didn’t really think her teeth needed improvement, but after she had hers done, I think they look amazing.
Heavenly but she seems VERY expensive. I have a crooked front tooth that kills me. I never smile in pics. I would love to have it fixed but again, expensive. Maybe Heavenly would give you a TT discount ?
I have been a patient of Dr. Heavenly’s Covington practice for years pre-M2M and she is a great dentist.
Also, thank you SO MUCH PCK for being my expert on Married to Medicine AND Summer House. I really appreciate you!
Thank YOU!! Thank you for this opportunity. I love and appreciate you so very much too!!!! ??❤️❤️
Thanks for the recap. This has gotten to be one of my fav Bravo shows. I love the actual friendships and concern for each other in this group. I like the husbands too. It’s not like the men group that was on RHOA at one time (Gregg, Peter, Apollo, etc). They were “mitches.” Lol This group of men somehow stay cool with each other regardless the drama that goes on among their wives. I love the way the couples support each other whether it’s IRS issues, marital issues, etc.
Thanks for reading Mel! Haha mitches ? love these husbands so much. So authentic and real.
Thanks for the recaps. I didn’t start watching this show really until about a season before this one (my boyfriend loves it and we watch together). I love the genuine friendships amongst the whole cast in this show which I think is more unique than a lot of the Housewives shows.
Thank you for reading! Yes the friendships are uniquely genuine. I wish other shows would pick up on how much fans love to see that.
I love this show so much but bravo doesn’t play it during the day like they used to. Lately I’ve been going to bed around 8pm and I used to be able to catch it when they would air repeats on the day the show airs. Now days they are playing Below Deck repeats 2 or 3 days a week. I’m getting tired ( I’m more than getting tired I am tired ) of the BD repeats and really wish they would start showing M2M!!! Bravo programming and whoever is in charge really fucks these shows over. Constantly repeating the same shows over and over makes people grow tired of any show, doesn’t matter how good the show is. I don’t have on demand bc I have the cheapest cable package ever so I have missed this entire season of M2M and I’m so upset about it. I guess I just repeated the same sentiment about 10 times like Bravo repeats repeats. Sorry for that guys but I had to vent somewhere.
I do still read every single recap.and every comment here though so thank you for your great recaps Pop Culture Kelly! Cannot wait for Summer House to start. I’m looking more forward to SH than I am VPR which is a first for me!!
Thanks for the recaps this season PCK!!! I appreciate you!!
I didn’t watch the entire episode. I was turned off by Heavenly and Simone’s make-up session. Heavenly in my opinion, has crossed the line from mean but funny to hateful and jealous. Just because something is true doesn’t mean it should be said – not if you care about a person – and especially the way Heavenly says things. They don’t hold her accountable enough.
Contessa needs to admit her part in the problems with her marriage. I’m glad they are okay now but you can’t tell me that Scott bares all the responsibility for their issues.
The husbands (except for Curtis) are truly the better halves!! They are what make the wives better women. That said, there’s no room for Quad on that show any longer. Unlike the housewives shows, this is a show about people who are married. Divorce sucks but Quad simply has no connection to the show any longer. Mariah barely fits in based on how some of the women treat her.
While most of them infuriate me at times, I can’t wait until next season, LOL!
I really like the men, the husbands, but I like the marriages the most. Watching successful and real couples wrangle with marriage has been enlightening. I loved seeing Quad break down about Greggory. That marriage was so broken, but it was real. I felt her pain. Quad, Jackie, and Simone, too, have shared travails that helped me see how great I have it. I’m rooting for them all, even Miss Quad. May she find her amazingly intelligent, wealthy, healthy, handsome, large penised man.
Great recap as always, PCK. Thank you for your diligence even when you were struggling with health issues . This is also my favorite Bravo show because of the authentic friendships and great dynamics amongst the husbands. Contessa and Scott should continue to build on their new found compromises away from the cameras next season . Mariah should either integrate more with the group or leave- she’s been miserable for a couple of seasons with no real storyline except the feud with Quad, who is at least interesting and I would enjoy watching Quad dating or encounter her ex and his new beau next season.
I like the realness of the relationships on [email protected] – there is of course some bs but in many ways a lot less than other Bravo shows.
Tks PCK for your recaps I am going to miss them while they are away. I have a feeling Jackie won’t be back – not so much about losing friendships for her but she did NOT appreciate being a target this year and I’m thinking she’s not gonna want to sign up for a repeat. She said it during the season and again on the reunion. Time will tell
I bothered PCK all season (not on her great recapping) but I saw different women.
Jackie was perhaps number one. She was not the approachable woman I remember. Heavenly was as if she became number two on list of importance and change in personality.
I watched the reunions first to see the results of what I thought I kept seeing from the first episode this season, which I tried to get through.
I think I was right. They have the WE ARE REALITY SHOW PERSONAS, and lost who I used to see.
I believe that I created this myself.I am a true crime addict and there is no better reality than true crime.
So thank goodness for the recaps and I really appreciate the time and reality that comes from them.
I really enjoy your recaps PCK, thanks for another great season. I’m REALLY looking forward to Summer House. I love a train wreck ?
I’m in the minority here but I thought that the way that Heavenly and Simone hugged their year long fight away was odd. I am now thinking that they were never really that angry with each other and just played it up for camera for entertainment purposes. I actually felt the same way about Simone’s marital problems along with Scott and Contessa. They always see the light at the end of the season. Really, okay clearly I need better friends. I’m happy that they work things out and I hope that it’s real but I’m having doubts about this being the realest if the real when it comes to drama. I think that these ladies, except for Quad and Mariah’s mess, are a lot calmer in real life and are clever enough to make up some drama for us viewers every season. I’d be curious to know what the word is on Mama Joyce’s street. Is it real or is it Maybelline?
