By Guest Recapper Nanette
I started out thinking that this Married to Medicine Recap might be without a verbal brawl. Wrong! Because … Heavenly. Tonight’s Quote o’ Night, about the dance contest, is from Quad, “These girls do not belong on Soul Train. Put them on American Bandstand.” More like the Golden Girls…
At Anila’s house, we see her telling Dr. Kiran that their daughter wants to be a blogger when she grows up. (Instead of following in daddy’s footsteps.) Next, we visit Toya and Dr. Eugene and see how happy Toya is now that her homeschooling is over. More time for tennis and Toya. She is glorying in her freedom, she feels like a “woman who came out of her [2-story] closet.” She obviously doesn’t know the idiom. She wonders why all of the other women have a problem with her lately. One word: Patron. She uses a math lesson (scary, right?) to teach one son about thinking before he speaks. She knows someone who does that … Heavenly. Even he doesn’t find it funny. But, now we know where we are headed tonight.
Secret Spending Surfaces
Simone decides to take the tough love route (over Cecil’s “good-cop” approach) over son Miles’s decision to take a gap year. She doesn’t like the way he handles money. She wants to see his banking activity on his computer. They are subsidizing Michael’s lifestyle, but still, intrusive much? That talk should have occurred a long time ago. They try to set some budget boundaries.

Anila is visiting the Lisa Nicole Collection showroom. Anila and Lisa Nicole iron out a plan for Anila to post herself wearing Lisa’s outfits on her Instagram. At $400 a photo! Now we see why their daughter decided to go into blogging instead of medicine! Anila tells us that she needs to pull in some money before Kiran kills her. Looks like Toya was onto something when she suspected Anila was hiding expenditures from her husband. The ladies are confused by Toya’s inconsistent behavior. (Patron!) and wonder what is going on. Again, we flashback to Toya being mad at Anila for not paying the makeup people. Quad calls and invites Anila to her event. Lisa Nicole invites herself. She wants to let bygones be bygones. Quad agrees and extends the invite.
Rough Around The Edges
Dr. Contessa is excited about the new business. But not the same old Scott. She is having Dr. Scott inject Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) around her (hairline) edges. Is that a thing? You take your blood, spin it in a centrifuge, and then extract the red blood cells from the plasma. You inject the PRP into areas that need help. It’s not cheap, she tells us, but Scott does it for free. While she is lying there getting injections, she tries to explain how the worklife/homelife balance isn’t working. She has no time for herself. Scott deflects. He is dead-set against therapy, even though Cecil recommends it.

Quad and her event assistant are setting up for the Club Quarantine Quad event. Meanwhile, Simone steps out of a limo in front of Dr. Jackie’s house. The former besties play patty cake through the window. That makes Simone weepy. Then, they get ready for the event in Jackie’s OCD closet. Maybe we will get the Golden Girls again! Simone tells us she wonders if Jackie has a hidden closet somewhere that she actually uses. The other ladies are arriving at Quad’s 4,000 square-foot, 4-story townhouse. The food looks delicious. So good that Heavenly tells us that with those cooking skills, Quad should quickly land a man. But he would have to go through “a whole hurricane of craziness to get to that meal.” What a great friend!
Rhythm And Boos
Toya arrives with Kari, her plus-one. Glasses of wine greet them in the foyer, along with those shitty shields. Classy as ever, Toya brings her own drink (and travel straw, exactly like mine!). Quad is not happy about the tackiness of Toya bringing an uninvited guest. Toya shines Anila who likens the adolescent behavior to an episode of “Saved by the Bell, where everything goes completely wrong.” Fittingly juvenile, we get a “back then” loop of Kari shading newbie Quad by saying that her then-husband, Gregory, was not a real doctor. Kari insists he was a psychologist. Quad accurately corrects her that he was a psychiatrist, which is a full-on medical doctor. Years later, Kari continues the Quad shade, stating that she has an investment property similar to Quad’s, but without an elevator. Quad points out that’s a $30k difference. This is why I never liked Kari.

Quad has divided the ladies into two teams for a dance competition. (How convenient that we had a “surprise” plus-one!) The OGs: Jackie, Simone, Heavenly, and Toya are Team A. The other four are Team B. Quad demonstrates some moves that are required for the dance routines. Twerking and booty popping, of course. Simone wants to do the Electric Slide; Jackie says that she and Simone lead in the OR, but tonight, they will be content as backup dancers. Good thing, because Heavenly has just declared herself to be Beyoncé! No surprise. Quad thinks she could have gone to a senior center and found better dancers than Team A. Hence, the American Bandstand comment. Contessa thinks Team B is going to kill it. More like die on the dance floor. Why is Lisa Nicole wearing her purse to dance? Quad rightly declares the oldsters as winners.
Deeluxe Apartment In The Sky
So, that painful ordeal over, the ladies head up to the fourth floor. Most of the ladies trudge up the stairs so they can test out the Sleep Number bed. Simone and Toya take the elevator so Simone can remind Toya she needs to clear the air. Toya says she will be fine as long as she has … Patron. (Simone tells us that someone needs to hide the Patron.) Toya, aka Patrona, makes an appearance. First, she tells Jackie she is in her own world. Jackie remains cool. Here it comes… Hurricane Heavenly. She just has to bring up Toya’s remarks about Quad’s “bullshit-ass apartment” on Cecil and Simone’s Instagram Live. Toya is trying to apologize when Heavenly starts screaming. Toya says to mind your business. But it’s too late.

We’ve been here before, but Toya has not been confronted. What is new, is that multiple women start calling out Heavenly as being the shit disturber. Heavenly is boo-hooing that she has done nothing, while calling Toya a bitch. Quad screams inches from Toya’s face. Toya leaves, Simone follows to lend her support. Kari stands up for Toya. Toya wonders why her friend Anila isn’t there for her. Really? Contessa, not usually in Toya’s corner, checks on her to offer support. No one is on Heavenly’s side. Quad is calling Toya a fucking fake mannequin. She just wanted a simple apology and some accountability. That is what Toya was trying to do before Heavenly butted in! Even I am on Toya’s side! Indeed, the worm has turned!
Rooftop Rumble Rattles Windows
Simone says Quad has always been able to dish it out but not take it. She appears to get through to the group when she says the ladies need to be open to listening to each other. She apologizes to Quad for being so loud. That registers with Quad who is tired of yelling and notices that all of the neighbors can hear and have a front seat to the drama. The ladies laugh and wave at the neighbors’ (mostly empty) windows.
Next week: Anila wants to set Quad up with a tall guy; Scott’s suspects they’re going to a swinger’s party, but it’s just a dinner; Kiran and Anila hold a birthday party for their daughter, replete with holi paint-throwing and ponies; Anila calls out Heavenly for behaving like a hooligan at a child’s party.
Does it seem like Contessa will just never be satisfied with Scott? Her constant complaints about (and to) him don’t seem all that justified. She also kept referring to everything about the business and hers and not theirs. I used to like her — not so much anymore.
The food at Quad’s party did look delicious, but the screeching lady fights are headache inducing. Why in God’s name did they think it was necessary to bring back Kari and Lisa?
Great points. In fact, I think the two reasons that I only half-watch MTM anymore are Contessa’s negative energy, and the constant screaming and screeching. I’ve always had sensitive ears anyway and physically cannot take screeching/screaming. I don’t know any real women that do that. Why does Bravo seem to think this behavior sells? Maybe I’m out of the loop.
Heavenly’s voice in particular is so high pitched, especially when she’s arguing with someone, that it does hurt my ears to listen to it. I don’t know where they find Housewives for these shows, but I sure don’t know anyone like that.
Thank you Nanette 😊. Appreciate your recaps.😊
I have not been able to get into this season but will binge it on pre reunion day.
It seems that Kari or Lisa Nicole are benefiting this season. Actually, gives more reason not to watch.
Toya sounds a bit dreadful, LOL.
Kari and Lisa Nicole are NOT BENEFITING……… (Sorry)
Thanks. I must be drinking Tamara crazy! I thought the hardest part was just getting the words down, but there is a FORMULA to text on blogs! So (one of the rules, use “so”) the season is almost over and MAYBE by then I will have it down! LOL,
DRIVING Tamara crazy! If I still were drinking, I would be driving EVERYONE crazy. I would make every drunken housewife, former RH, look like an altar girl!
From my POV it seems like heavenly and quad are trying to ice out Toya like they did Mariah. I hate that heavenly waited until they were on camera to show quad the video (makes me think of rhony when jill played the voicemail of bethenny saying jill needs a hobby). As well it drives me up the wall heavenly brings up something and then acts dumb about what she just said. I’m over quad having her drag Queen antics when it comes to fighting with others. Over all good episode
I think part of the reason Kari and Lisa Nicole were added was to support Toya. Or to make the cast diverse. The addition of those two has been very clumsy.
Heavenly has been a shit disturber since her first season. I hate what she does with the names of the new ladies. Almost as bad as Vickie Gunvalson. (But at least Boring Wind, Brownwind was sort of funny.) And you are right, she tries to play innocent/dumb.
The other thing I hate about Heavenly is her ghetto talk. She went to college to be a dentist — you need to use proper grammar and sentence structure in the core classes. So it seems so fake, like a parent using their teenager’s slang. I bet she doesn’t let Alaura get away with talking like that. She and RHOA’s Porsha are the worst! Kandi can talk street, but she knows when not to. The other ladies in RHOA don’t talk like Porsha and other M2M ladies don’t talk like Heavenly.
They keep referring to Dr. Simone’s son taking a gap year but he left after his freshman year and he’s now 22…is he still on a gap year…or did I get that wrong?
I am not sure, but I think he dropped out and didn’t tell them. So maybe there was one “official” gap year. I say let him ease back into community college, which would give him an opportunity to get his solids out of the way AND explore what interests him. He may find his passion, and then transfer to a 4-year college as a junior when he can focus on a goal.
Thanks for the recap. I think I missed most of the fight because it happened so fast. The only part that registered was Toya saying something then running out with Heavenly behind her then Quad calling her a mannequin. I want to like to Kari and enjoy LN but they have more or less been irrelevant. I want to know when they will play a pivotal part of the story. The most camera time they get is “being uninvited guests.” I feel like Heavenly knows how to start shit when they all sit down but Toya has had a weird vibe this season, whether its her being bitchy or production setting her up.
Part of Toya’s vibe is too much Patron. I love Dr. Eugene so much! I can’t believe the shit he goes through with her, but the guys all get it. I was really happy that on the earlier episodes the guys had more camera time.
They could swap it out and have the guys be the “Married to” part. Jackie, Simone, Heavenly and Contessa are all “Medicine.” In the beginning, we had two medical women and four “Married to” women. Now it’s the opposite and how GREAT it would be for them to change it up next season!
YES! Give us a Married to Medicine husband show and RHWNJ men show. The men make me laugh more than the women. I haven’t watched this episode yet. Does everyone realize Toya is trying to apologize to Quad? Did Quad realize that? It sounds like Heavenly does’t like to share her friends with other people. Last season, she wanted Jackie to be her friend but didn’t’ want Jackie and Simone to be friends. Now this year, she doesn’t want to share Quad with Toya.
I thought it was telling when Simone mentioned how Toya has walked out of every scene she has been in. That’s what Nene used to do before she off the show.
Wonder if Toya is stressed from having money problems. They’ve had their “dream” house on the market since last year and even reduced the price this year with no offer still. Hope she’s just over being on the show. Wish Heavenly would leave over Toya. Toya is usually light & fun when Heavenly isn’t annoying her.
I have not been much of a Toya fan since the beginning, except when it was against Mariah. I really could not stand Mariah’s snobby attitude. Same with Kari, another snob. And it is NEITHER the British accent NOR the British humor! She’s an elitist snob! She had it out for Quad since Quad first joined. How DARE she tell Quad she was wrong about her own husband’s medical degree! Lisa Nicole’s clothes are nothing great either. I want those two gone.
It scares me a little bit that I have been on Toya’s side for the last three episodes! The other thing that scares me is Dr.Eugene’s weight gain. I don’t want to lose him! He is my VERY FAVORITE reality husband —tied with Ladd, married to Pioneer Woman, Rhee Drummond. (And Brandon McMillan, of the single guys on reality shows)
Why is Toya selling her dream home? My favorite reality husbands are Ben from Home Town and the guys on Two Chicks and a Hammer.
I would guess since they’ve reduced the price it isn’t because they were speculating that they would make a huge profit and invest in another home. My guess is that between the mortgage, maintenance, utilities and property taxes on such a large house that they simply can’t afford it. They’ve not been great at money managing since Season One! They should just move back into their original house, which I assume they still have, and be happy with that. It was a very nice large home. Large enough for 4. Toya just wanted to prove she could live in a supposedly better ZIP code. Their home is nowhere near the hospital that Eugene practices in. And I would think an emergency room doctor has special stipulations on how many miles away or minutes away he can be when on call. So they may also be renting him an apartment closer to the AMC. It adds up!
I’ve always wondered how they were able to afford everything. Yes, Eugene is an ER doc, but that’s not where the big money is for a physician.
I don’t watch Home Town, but I love Mina & Karen’s Two Chicks & a Hammer crew on Good Bones.
I would rather see Heavenly go over Toya and I am shocked I am saying that. When Heavenly is funny and not mean, she is one of the best. But when she is mean, and condescending, she is AWFUL. Next week, the previews showed her being HORRID and inappropriate. At a 5-year-old girl’s birthday party.
I don’t watch the show, but Heavenly sounds a lot like…. um someone I know.
When Heavenly called herself the Beyoncé of the group, I about howled laughing.
I AM THE BEYONCE OF THE GROUP!
Um, don’t mind me. Nevermind. LOL.
I don’t get why Quad is back either? I thought she was off the show. Between her and Heavenly, the show is almost unwatchable. Toya is obviously going through something but she still tries. Heavenly is just horrible and Quad is so dramatic and messy and annoying. I was so happy Quad was gone and am so disappointed I am seeing her at all.
