RECAP: Married to Medicine “Mariah Returns; Don’t Get Between Heavenly and Daddy” [Episode 12]
This week’s Married to Medicine doesn’t really begin until Heavenly arrives at the bar where her app-release party is being held. The app developer, Lakeitha, is pointing out where everything will go. Heavenly says this had better be a hit because of all the time, money, and effort she’s put into it. And her dress better arrive. It’s supposed to be delivered to her at the venue, but Lisa Nicole is running late, and now Heavenly is freaking out.
Over at Toya’s house, she finds Dr. Eugene making a Leggo repair his son broke that morning. While he operates on the toy, Toya shows him sexy dress choices for the app party. Eugene doesn’t like it one bit. It’s basically a singles event that he’s unable to attend, so why does his wife need to look sexy. Toya suggests that a bigger rock on her finger will keep those men away because they’ll realize they can’t afford her. Eugene is realizing this same thing.
Back at the event, a nervous Heavenly is taking out her frustrations on Daddy Damon that her dress hasn’t arrived yet. Crisis averted when Lisa finally shows up with the dayum dress that’s nothing special that Heavenly’s daughter did/did not design.
Claudia Jordan, star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has known Heavenly for years, so she agreed to help launch her singles app, since Claudia is still somehow single. The “Dating Game” is set up for Claudia to ask some single men a question. Heavenly suddenly grabs Dr. Darren and asks him to be part of the game for Claudia since another guy didn’t show up. Darren goes along with it. Watching this from across the room, Lisa gets up and marches over to Darren and says, “Get your ass back there. I’m not playing.” Darren does as he’s told, but Toya recommends that Lisa stop being nice and go “borderline crazy” on his ass.
Moving on, Claudia’s question for the guys is: Besides family and God, what is most important? The guys speak into a microphone that alters their voice, making them sound like borderline crazy robots. If Heavenly was going for, very unsexy, she nailed it. Guy #1 says: Success; Gut #2 says: Wisdom; Guy #3 says Synergy. Heavenly tells Claudia to make Guy #3 spell it. When he can’t spell or define it, he is ruled out. Claudia chooses Guy #2 who is very cute. Have fun on your date, Claudia. Hopefully Heavenly isn’t planning to chaperone.
Later in the week, Mariah and Jill meet up for a pedicure and wine. Mariah says that she is doing well physically, just not emotionally. Her family was there to support her after the miscarriage and cancer scare, but not any of her so-called friends.
Jill, unable to relate at all, shares that her husband, Dr. John, is going to kill her when he finds out how she’s been cheating much money she’s spent on their prohibition charity event that is ironically aimed at prohibiting violence against women. The irony!
Simone is at home discussing with her husband, Cecil, a possible trip for all of the couples. She’s thinking the Bahamas or Puerto Rico. He’s thinking Brazil. She’s thinking divorce. He’s thinking never mind, it’s not like everyone in this group will agree to go anywhere together.
Over at Quad’s house, she and Dr. G are getting dressed for the prohibition charity event even though Quad originally told Jill she couldn’t be in the same room with Lisa Nicole. Dr. G tells Quad he wants there to be peace and harmony at this party. She tells Dr. G that people in hell want a glass of water and people in jail want out. Sometimes I think Dr. G married Quad because he was looking for a long-term case study.
As Lisa Nicole gets her make-up done at her store, Heavenly shows up because she needs professional help dressing so she won’t look like “no ho.” She shares with Lisa Nicole that she likes Jill, but not her husband. Heavenly puts on a black sparkly dress, without a bra, and struts her stuff. Lisa Nicole lies and tells Heavenly she looks great, just before Heavenly knocks over a glass and breaks it.
Mariah, though apprehensive about being around these women, arrives at the party with Quad and enjoys the attention she gets. Toya is wearing a white swan. Quad has a head gadget with dangling beads in her eyes. Lisa Nicole arrives with Dwight and they are each wearing full length furs. Simone is wearing cleavage, and lots of it. At the bar, Toya announces to the bartender that Remy makes her horny. He quickly brings her a stiff one and Eugene ain’t happy.
After Dr. John gives a small speech, bragging about the gambling, dancing and drinking that they aren’t prohibiting, Heavenly’s husband—with two of his friends at the table smoking cigars—tells Dr. John he didn’t like it when he disrespected his wife the last time they met up. John is confused. Why didn’t Daddy Damon speak up then? Daddy Damon says he’s speaking up now. John gets up and walks off. In private, he says some nonsense about a real man taking it outside. For what, John? You are a plastic surgeon. Are you going to throw a punch and risk breaking your hand or wrist? Bitch, please!
All the girls say they are happy to see Mariah. Mariah mentions that she’s heard a lot of rumors about certain husbands. Lisa Nicole says there are a lot of lies, and Mariah counters with, “Yeah, like I was a lesbian.” Lisa denies ever saying this about her. Mariah defends that she likes a medicine-mind, a chiseled face, and broad shoulders…like Dr. Jackie. Simone gathers the ladies and suggests a group trip to the Bahamas. Nobody is excited.
Back over at the VIP table, Jill stupidly tells Toya about the confrontation between her husband and Heavenly’s husband, and how her husband told Heavenly’s husband to f*ck off. Heavenly hears this and calls Jill ignorant and tells her that education doesn’t make a person intelligent. Right back at’cha, Heavenly. Jill says that at least her husband doesn’t have an online degree. Ouch.
Heavenly storms over to Daddy and asks if this is true. Smart man says, “no.” Heavenly returns to the ladies and tells Jill that her man ain’t man enough to tell her man to f*uck off so don’t come after her man again. Jill wants to say something, but Simone tells her that silence is golden.
Pack your bags because next week we are going to the Bahamas and Mariah is coming with us.
