This season of Married to Medicine has been a mixed bag, with new faces in the cast and Dr. Heavenly’s usual messy antics. This season has also been heavily focused on the newest addition, Lateasha “Sweet Tea” Lunceford, the new wife of Quad Webb’s ex-husband, Dr. Gregory Lunceford. The primary source of drama this season has circulated this contentious triangle. The second Lateasha came into the picture; the other ladies immediately began talking about Quad. Quad’s relationship with Dr. Gregory did not end well, so it makes sense that she’d be a topic of discussion. But she has stayed a topic of discussion, both in positive and negative ways. Toya is adamant that Quad apologizes before they consider bringing her back into the fold, but it's clear that won't be happening any time soon. Phaedra Parks has also affected the new season, bringing her usual Housewives shenanigans into the fold. Her presence has had a mixed reception from the viewers, as they primarily love watching the show because the cast has, for the most part, been real and vulnerable on the show since it began 10 years ago.
The most recent episode was a difficult watch, as the “Core 4”, aka the OG cast members, came together to discuss what to do about Quad. Toya served as the ring leader, saying that Quad should not be invited to the upcoming trip to Napa Valley. The back and forth was meaningless, as Quad was set to attend with Phaedra. Phaedra, however, chose to make an excuse to go without Quad, leading to even more mean girl behavior. Toya “forgot” to get Quad a room, followed by her being iced out by everyone, as they did not want to room with the group pariah. Quad, who herself is not choosing to own up to past mistakes, was clearly wounded by the poor treatment she was receiving from the people she once considered to be her friends. This is classic mean girl behavior, reinforced by Phaedra's flip-flop friendship style. However, what's happened so far is only the beginning. The rest of the season may fracture the group's relationships for good.
