RECAP: Married to Medicine “If You’re Not With Quad, You’re Against Her” [Episode 8]
On this week’s episode of “Married to Medicine” we begin with Quad as she shares with her husband, Dr. Gregory, she will be going to Los Angeles for a photo shoot for BCBG. Quad was chosen because she is such an interesting person who is “at the top” of her game in the doggy fashion world.
Lisa Nicole is making dinner with her kids. They are planning her son DJ’s upcoming birthday party, even though his father, Dr. Darren, can’t go. He’s an ER doctor and apparently they work all the time and never get any days off. The theme of the party is: make your own damn pizza.
Dr. Jackie and Dr. Simone are discussing how hard they work, girl. Fingers to the bone. Jackie is struggling with signing the DNR (do not resuscitate) paperwork for her dad, Leroy, who has Alzheimer’s. Things are on a downward spiral for the man who was the voice of calm. Dr. Jackie asks Simone for her advice and Simone says to keep in mind his quality of life.
Quad is packing with her dogs for Los Angeles. She has decided to invite Simone (which makes sense) and Jill (which makes no sense) to worship accompany her to L.A. for the weekend. Jeremy, the stylist, announces that Quad will not dress like a THOT – that hoe over there, and he’s sort of looking at Jill when he says it. Or maybe that’s just me.
Jackie’s family has arrived from Mississippi to visit Leroy. Jackie thinks the family is disappointed in her because she hasn’t been able to “fix” her dad and he isn’t getting better like they hoped.
It’s party time! And like they said, Darren isn’t anywhere to be found. Hey Lisa, why not have the party on a day when Darren can go? Heavenly arrives with her daughter and Toya comes with her boys. Toya is stunned that Jill was invited to Los Angeles over her. Quad and Jill don’t really know each other, but since Quad is burning through friends faster than a menthol cigarette, Jill get’s to go.
We arrive at the BCBG offices with only Quad because Jill and Simone aren’t invited to witness Quad’s fierce fashionista photo shoot. In Quad’s mind everything she touches turns to gold, however she does confess to past fashion fo-paws she’s made with her hair, makeup, and clothing choices.
Back over at the birthday party, Lisa reinvents what happened during the fight between she and Quad, saying that she only threw water, leaving out the part about throwing the glass. Lisa tells Heavenly and Toya the police have said that if Quad insists on filing criminal charges against her, police will also file charges against Quad. Boom. Get the bbq off the grill because this is done.
More fun ensues at the party when Lisa forces the kids to play musical chairs. It’s down to Heavenly’s daughter, Alaura, and the birthday boy, DJ. Heavenly is telling her daughter to do whatever it takes to win, who cares it’s DJ’s special day. But when it’s a tie, Lisa suggests the moms finish it. When the music stops, just as Heavenly is about to sit down, Lisa yanks the chair out from under her. Heavenly falls to the ground, and it looks like it hurts, but she’s a trooper and instead acts like a two-year old, kicking and screaming. Heavenly contemplated filing charges, but then Lisa would have two charges, bless her heart.
On the other coast, Quad is strutting her stuff, showing leg at the shoot. One moment she’s grateful and choking up, the next, arrogant and in your face. According to her, she is winning. Hate to tell you, Quad, but that’s Charlie Sheen’s line. Afterwards, Quad and the gang attend a party at the Chief Creative Officer of BCBG, Lubov Azria’s, house for some serious ass-kissing by Quad. This crib is da’bomb. Crystals hang all the way to the ground and the ceilings are painted with real gold. Quad is impressed and wants this for herself.
Back in the ATL, Jackie, her mom and family members discuss the DNR. Jackie’s mom is slow to accept that her husband of 50 years is not going to get better. They agree that they don’t want Jackie to sign the papers. They have faith in His plans for Leroy.
In Los Angeles, the girls are having a quiet afternoon of retail therapy…or are they. Jill acts like an excited puppy as she tells Simone and Quad about the prohibition party she is throwing. Jill isn’t against alcohol consumption, she’s against violence on women and feeling bad about their bodies (said the girl married to the plastic surgeon). She wants all of the ladies to come support her. Quad gives Jill the death glare and sashays off.
Jill is perplexed about what has just taken place. Quad says she doesn’t want any drama, but is creating the drama. Why can’t Quad say, “Sorry, Jill, I’m busy that day.” Because that’s not what Quad’s really mad about. She’s mad that Jill, who was only invited to be Quad’s lap dog, is attempting to take a moment and make it about herself. Jill’s voice get’s pitchy as she promises not to invite Lisa. Quad demands that Jill address her in a lower voice, but it’s hard to take Quad seriously with her Cleopatra headdress on.
Tune in next week when Simone invites everyone to an event except Lisa Nicole.
