This week on Married to Medicine, the ladies return to Atlanta, and while the scenery has shifted, the drama hasnโt gone anywhere. We kick things off with a series of personal check-ins: Toya spends time with her sons, Dr. Scott experiments with โbrotox,โ and Dr. Heavenly takes a peaceful moment on the water with her son Zach. Meanwhile, Dr. Simone and Dr. Jackie catch up over plans for Jackieโs Med Galaโwith Cecil in tow for moral support. Quad clues Phaedra into what the ladies are saying about the minimal effort sheโs put into helping Jackie with the event, forcing Jackie to call in Heavenly for backup.
The spotlight shifts to Heavenlyโs house, where the family gathers to celebrate Zachโs major achievementsโgraduating from UGA and getting into Meharry Medical College. While itโs a heartfelt occasion, Quadโs introduction of King to the group becomes the eveningโs subplot. The men extend warm welcomes, but Toya pokes Quad about her Rolls Royce and lack of a โring or baby.โ Quad handles the pettiness with her usual poise, even as the women not-so-subtly speculate about how she landed her luxury ride.
Of course, the aftermath of the dude ranch trip still looms large. Toya reflects that Phaedra and Contessa probably shouldnโt spearhead group trips again, given how their last attempt fell flat. She also floats the idea of Heavenly offering a real apology for her now-infamous โmamaโ comment. Heavenly claims sheโll try but slips in a dig at Phaedra, declaring she wonโt โoverpromise and underdeliver.โ It could be said here that while Heavenlyโs allegiance may be to Dr. Jackie, it does seem like she does Jackieโs bidding, being the mouthpiece when Jackie wonโt.
However, Heavenly may have finally met her match in Phaedra. Dr. Simone stirs the pot by declaring Heavenly the unofficial co-co-chair of Jackieโs Med Gala. Phaedra, never one to back down, fires off a biting retort: โIโm not going to let b****s like yโall act like Iโm not going to do what I said Iโm going to do.โ The jab doesnโt land too well, especially considering the groupโs majorityโcollege-educated women with advanced degrees. In her confessional Phaedra seems to believe that the pressure from Dr. Jackie to make the Med Gala a huge success stems from the heat Jackie took last year after making some insensitive comments about Black women patients being more dramatic.
Meanwhile, the men offer King some sound advice: stay out of the ladiesโ business. But upstairs, the women turn up the heat, shifting the conversation back to the Med Gala. Quad proposes a collective donation, only for Toya to interject. She suggests they avoid asking Contessa to contribute while tensions with Heavenly linger, adding that the group hasnโt done enough to hold Heavenly accountable for her sharp tongue.
As the celebration continues, Heavenly takes a heartfelt moment to reflect on her sonโs achievements, joined by a few of the doctors who acknowledge the rarity of Black doctors in medicine todayโa poignant reminder of the stakes behind their community efforts.
Over at Phaedraโs, she invites Sweet Tea for lunch, spilling tea of her own about Zachโs party and the Med Gala. Clearly offended by Jackieโs indirect critiques of her contributions, Phaedra calls her out: โYou got time to gossip, but not to text me personally?โ And she has a pointโJackie seems to prefer venting to friends while letting Heavenly handle the dirty work. Sweet Tea chimes in, noting Jackieโs double standard: holding Phaedra accountable but letting Heavenly slide.
Sweet Tea, however, loses footing when she suggests Heavenly owes her an apology. The problem? Heavenly has made it clear she doesnโt respect her. Why Sweet Tea is still seeking friendshipโor validationโis the real question. And leave it to Phaedra to lighten the mood, noting Heavenlyโs church of choice: โHellfirst Baptist.โ
Later, Jackie sets the scene for the Med Gala, revealing a lofty $100,000 goal to support 4Kira4Moms. Heavenly, of course, doesnโt miss a chance to needle Phaedra, asking event planners what exactly she contributed. Jackieโs confessional twist of the knife? Phaedra โhadnโt come throughโ and raised zero dollars.

As the Med Gala kicks off, Phaedra is in full defense mode, vowing that the ladies will eat their words about her supposed lack of follow-through. Enter Dr. Mimi, a psychiatrist and friend to Sweet Tea and Dr. Gregory, our second time seeing the new doctor on camera. We also see Contessa sans Dr. Scottโwho, conveniently, โopted outโ due to Heavenlyโs comments. (Letโs be real, Scottโs barely clocked in this season.) Anila and her husband also make a surprise cameo, adding to the mix of elite attending the gala.
Elsewhere, Dr. Gregory and Dr. Damon squash their beef despite Heavenlyโs signature meddling mid-conversation. Later on, Jackie, Phaedra, and Heavenly address the critical issue of Black maternal mortality in a moving speech.
Then comes the auction, which stumbles out of the gate with a Morocco tripโno airfare includedโstarting at $4,000 and greeted with deafening silence before finally selling for $3,500. Other items, from Botox treatments to cooking classes with Quad (and a date with Phaedra), help the ladies raise nearly $54,000.







Still, Phaedraโs big promise lingers unresolved, and Heavenly is already predicting that Ms. Parks will have to cut a check herself to cover the gap. Phaedra ultimately agreed to cover the remaining funds, but letโs be honestโwhether she follows through will undoubtedly be a reunion storyline waiting to unfold. Despite the hiccups, the Med Gala was a resounding success, shedding light on Black maternal mortality and raising much-needed funds.
Next week, we dive deeper into Dr. Mimiโs world, witness Toyaโs โmanifestingโ baby shower plans, and, naturally, brace ourselves for even more drama.
