Married To Medicine Recap: New Year, Old Feuds

March 22, 2021 by tamaratattles 18 Comments

Married To Medicine RecapBy Guest Recapper Nanette

I’m starting tonight’s Married To Medicine recap with the inaugural “Quote o’ Night.” Tonight’s is courtesy of Toya: “What if you got four or five childs?” Spoiler alert: I am not a fan of Toya and this episode has me thinking production feels the same way!

Doctors Simone, Jackie, Eugene and Contessa are driving home alone after working very long days. This is late July or early August, deep into the pandemic. OBs Jackie and Simone are grateful babies don’t know there’s a pandemic. Contessa has seen people dying every day. Dr. Eugene expresses his fears about working in the ER. That day, he was a mere 10 inches from a dying patient’s face, “just trying to save her life.” As I watch, my heart is breaking, knowing things will get much worse for our doctors.

Front Teeth Take A Hit

Heavenly is heavily masked as she prepares to work on 18-year-old Miracle. Miracle tells Heavenly she was filming at a peaceful BLM demonstration, when a cop punched her in the mouth. Our dentist saw Miracle’s bloodied mouth post on social media and reached out to help her by repairing the damage. Heavenly can be a big shit disturber, but this magnanimous act also is typical of her.

In direct contrast, Toya and Anila are riding Toya’s golf cart to play tennis. About 10 unmasked women and a teacher play tennis like it’s 2019. Their main concerns: improving their game and looking cute in their tennis outfits. And, At Anila’s house, she and her sister prepare for a visit from their parents. From their conversation, we know there is no pleasing Mom Manjula. Dad and Mom bring in a shit ton of food in containers and dump the coolers and boxes off in the foyer. So, when Dr. Kiran comes home exhausted, he has no room to take off his shoes – a passive-aggressive move by his MIL. 

Married To Medicine RecapNo Dodging Hurricane Manjula

Before Kiran can get his “antiseptic” (cocktail), his mother-in-law bombards him with accusations. If he is a plastic surgeon, how come he hasn’t fixed her face. Kiran is quick to come up with “I have to do the whole world first; I need a lot of practice.” My warning to Kiran: Don’t ever do it, you will never please this woman. And she will be reminded every time she looks in the mirror how unworthy you are! He is so stressed by his in-laws’ presence in his home, he wishes he were back at work — during COVID! It must be as awful as it looks.

The family is preparing for Raksha Bandhan, a ceremony where brothers and sisters symbolically pledge their lifetime support for each other by the girls tying rakhi threads on their brothers’ wrists. I am happy to see the Sajja family bringing the Indian spice and sharing their customs on this show. It’s like “Family Dynasty Lite,” holding me over until one of my favorite Bravo shows returns.

The Sound Of Half A Brain Clapping

Back at Toya and Eugene’s home, she is whining about how difficult her life is during Covid – as he stands at the stove after hours on his feet at the ER. Yes, it is difficult to squeeze home schooling between tennis and spending money. She worries, with good reason, that her son is falling behind because of (her) home schooling. She pours it on, no parent wants to spend nine hours this way. It’s a lot of work with two boys. “What if you got four or five childs?” she whines. Eugene gently corrects her, it’s children, not childs, as the two boys laugh. The volume of Eugene’s cooking disturbs her wine-drinking. Poor Toya, the volume of food frying in a sauté pan is deafening!

Quad and Heavenly adjourn to Heavenly’s three-story closet, where Heavenly “innocently” wonders how things stand with Quad and Toya. After Quad says things are good, Heavenly pulls out the big guns – a facetime phone conversation Toya had with Cecil and Simone. Toya rips Quad for only filming with Heavenly always in that “bullshit ass apartment” rubbing it in that Quad doesn’t have a monstrous manse. Oops. Quad unloads the tea about Toya having to “beg, borrow and steal, in that order,” to get that huge house. She claims Toya took out a personal loan of $100k to pay for the pool. Heavenly, who preaches keeping down your debt,clarifies Toya’s finances. Quad sings “debt on debt on debt.” Toya must have missed class the day they learned about proverbs. Glass houses, Toya.

Married To MedicineGhandi Never Had It This Tough

The setting for the rakhi ceremony at an Indian restaurant. It is a celebration of fresh flowers and bright silk tablecloths. I wonder how long before it is trashed. Anila has decided to use this important family occasion to facilitate a truce between her girl, Toya, and Contessa, who she barely knows. Scott and Contessa arrive in their version of Indian attire, which Toya rips. After Pani Puri shots (google it!) and mojitos, Anila has caretakers take the children indoors so they can have “adult time”aka the reconciliation attempt. Take note, Denise Richards.

Both women agree they are tired of this feud. Contessa tries to point out that it seems ridiculous to carry on while people are dying all around them. Contessa “dares” to say in the “World of Covid,” which sets Toya off. Our diva is tired of people bringing Covid up. Her husband is an ER doctor, she deals with it every day. Yes, Toya, Covid has had a huge impact … on your sex life, tennis dates and homeschooling two “childs.” Contessa has had enough. She thanks Anila and says she wants them to explore a friendship without fake Toya. Anila’s Mom gets involved, not good. Contessa apologizes and she and Scott leave.

Back at the table, Anila is upset that they left early. Dr. Eugene puts it plainly — the two women just don’t like each other. And that’s OK, he says. Maybe in real life, but not in Toya World.

Next week’s Married To Medicine Recap will include: Eugene bursting Toya’s bubble(bath) when he tells her he doesn’t want her verbal abuse. Anila telling Contessa her mom felt threatened by her actions at the celebration. Simone and son Michael shopping for dorm furnishings. And, a day of family basketball fun turns full-on NBA when Toya and Heavenly trash talk each other.

    I do believe Toya has long forgotten her days of working as a pharmaceutical rep, or working at all. Not a good look.

      I believe she was a pharmaceutical rep as much as I believe Teresa Giudice was a buyer for Macy’s.

      Maybe Toya was hired as a pharm rep, based on her good looks, but I doubt she could keep that high-pressure job.

    Tks for the recap

    I have a hard time most seasons with Toya – This entitled look definitely is not a good look.
    Not sure why but I have never liked Contessa. I think maybe she’s in her own head too much

    I like the men in this series. I wish there was more scenes of the men getting together

      I agree with you about Contessa. I think she tries too hard to be relevant. Where do they get all their money for her to go back to school (which isn’t cheap at that level) and to build their own medical building? If they’re going to concentrate on helping addicts that doesn’t sound like a financially thriving practice.

        Thanks for the recap. Contessa is a military veteran and tuition benefits are very good with the military. I think she was an officer too. But she reminds me of the quiet, nice girl who gets a chance to hang around the cool kids- but it really doesn’t fit her. She’s forcing it at times and it shows.

        Small business loans, grant are also available for veterans.

          Hi everyone on Contessa.

          I LOVED her the first season.

          Then … things started seeming off.

          I understand the crap with Toya because Toya was ripping Contessa OVER A MICROPHONE for DARING to be with her sick father instead of coming to her stupid party. Scott was there to deliver her regrets.

          But instead of either working it out or just moving on, she began to add to the pile of bullshit.

          I am done with her after she called Dr. Eugene (my favorite) a “big-ass bitch.” She and Toya can feud and fuss in their own hell.

            I have NEVER liked Contessa. This episode if she interrupted anyone else I was going to throw my remote.
            She is a know it ALL and I wish she would go away.

    Contessa seems, I don’t know, so tense and tightly wound or something. I feel like she’s always keeping such a tight lid on her life and on herself (which many women who are first generation, college-educated professionals with children feel- I know I did, for many years). I like her a lot, but wish she could just kind of let go a bit and show some warmth and humor more often (because I like her). Toya gets more awful every year. And Simone and Jackie both just need to stop being so damn stubborn.

      I don’t think contessa fits with this cast. I love everything she stands for, but she isn’t easy to warm up to. She seems cold, and I know she isn’t. Her strengths just don’t translate to good tv. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Toya doesn’t appeal to the audience because she a black stay at home wife. She lives that stay at home with money lifestyle that is hard to accept for many when it’s a black woman. Most of the wives on Beverly Hills live this same lifestyle and it’s not an issue with the viewers.🤷🏾‍♀️

      I can’t speak for others, but my dislike has nothing to do with her being an affluent, stay-at-home mom.

      It comes from her pathetic need to have the “most expensivist” of everything, even when Dr. Eugene was working two jobs to pay off the taxes and the debt that SHE had acquired. Instead of expressing gratitude to the man who was busting his butt to get them afloat, she complained that he was working too much.

      Now, she’s complaining because he is working to much trying to save lives instead of having sex with her as often as SHE wants; not being able to play as much tennis as SHE wants, have to spend more time home-schooling than SHE wants.

      She has ZERO empathy for people who are suffering from truly tragic conditions in the WORLD OF COVID. HA! I said it! She wants nothing to do with people “beneath” her. She is so ignorant, she doesn’t even realize how ignorant she is. Lucky for her she has been blessed with good looks.

        How do you put all the debt on her? They got that debt together and her husband did what was necessary. Isn’t that what a husband should do?
        Why shouldn’t she want the best if they can afford it.
        Example Beverly Hills Ericka husband stole money to support her lifestyle but she doesn’t get half the hate Toya does!
        I know many moms who are extremely overwhelmed with having to take care of their children full time with home schooling. Covid has been hard for stay at home Moms. People always say parenting is a full time job then looks down on someone who could be stressed from that job!

    Thank you Nanette 😊
    Toya has apparently learned nothing regarding money.
    I would not be surprised if she didn’t drown them from her spending or obtaining more more more.
    Eugene better see if she has a life insurance policy on him, aha, too much true crime? LOL

      You are welcome AF Cheryl.

      Toya is too busy playing tennis to plot a homicide. LOL. Good thing, because she isn’t smart enough to ever get away with it, which would leave those two darling “childs” without either parent.

      One positive thing I can say about her is that she seems devoted to Eugene. She may not treat him that well (verbal put-downs), but I do not see her as being a cheater. I keep thinking she will mature, but it doesn’t seem likely.

        True dat. She is NOT going to risk being a doctor’s wife! (Unless he goes missing, no, 7 yrs to make claim. Aha!! Lots of weird ways to off someone. For instance, visine poisoning, a coffee with visine, never to be detected. )
        Let’s see how it goes if he becomes disabled from the stress of her. I am watching. LOL

    I find any person who is capable, yet depends solely on another— or the government— for their entire existence, is not someone I can understand or relate to.

    I agree. I stayed home with my boys when they were really young (largely because my youngest son is on the autism spectrum, and managing all of the therapy appointments, and life in general at that time, would have made it nearly impossible to keep up with his needs if I had worked full-time). But even then, I was either managing a daycare business in our home, or working at night part-time, largely because we needed the $ back then, but also because it was important to feel like I was contributing financially and as a human being (to the world outside of my family) in some way. Having been on both sides of things (stay at home mother and full-time professional after they were older), I can definitely say that financial dependency doesn’t make you feel good about yourself. Financial dependency isn’t good for the soul.
