The couples’ trip to Key West continued on Married to Medicine this week, and things went from bad to worse. This Florida getaway has already been plagued by the inescapable fact that it’s uncomfortable to have Quad, King, Dr. Gregory, and Sweet Tea all on one trip together. This week, we watch what happens when you add another ex-husband into the mix.
In Married to Medicine Season 11, Episode 11, “Trouble on the Sandbar,” the group ventured away from their Key West resort and over to a remote sandbar, where there was indeed, a whole lot of trouble.
What happened in Married to Medicine Season 11, Episode 11?
Of course, the Key West trip already got screwed up by Quad and Dr. G’s awkward fight in Episode 10. This week, the bad vibes continued when Apollo Nida showed up with his wife, Sherien Almufti. Drinks were flowing, words were exchanged, and once again, things almost got physical. At this point, they should probably just cancel the whole trip. Keep on reading for all of the tea on this messy M2M episode.
A debrief on the drama
The last time we saw the Married to Med crew, Dr G. was storming off into the night, trying to cool down from his blow-up with Quad. The cameras picked back up the following morning, and everyone was still trying to make sense of what happened.
Over in Dr. Greg’s room, Sweet Tea admitted to feeling a little confused about why there was still so much emotion lingering between him and Quad. It’s also worth noting that Dr. Heavenly claimed there was much more screaming that happened in real life that we didn’t see in the episode.
“She was acting all superior and like she needed to endorse our relationship,” Greg explained.
“She was very drunk, and I know what she’s like when she gets drunk,” he continued as a montage of Quad sipping her cocktail played on the screen.
Although Greg lost his cool, he told Sweet Tea that he wanted to remain level-headed moving forward. He said he wanted to stand up and be the “adult” in the room when navigating the dynamic with Quad and King. That’s easier said than done.
Here comes Apollo
A few episodes ago, Dr. Heavenly had the not-so-bright idea to invite Apollo on this trip. She said she wanted Phaedra and Apollo’s relationship to be a positive example for Quad and Greg. Maybe she missed the fact that Phaedra doesn’t even allow Apollo inside of her home.
Either way. Apollo joined the M2M group for their sandbar excursion. Heavenly did give Phaedra a heads-up that Apollo would be coming, but he got the last laugh by showing up with his new wife, Sherien. Phaedra was fine with Apollo showing up, but she wasn’t excited to see Sherien.
“This is my ex-husband’s mistress, who he was cheating on me with when we were married,” Phaedra explained in a confessional. “It’s creepy. It’s very unsettling.”
Meanwhile, Apollo was feeling uneasy for a different reason. He didn’t know that his friend Cheick would be there as Phaedra’s date. Cheick already told Phaedra that he was friends with Apollo, but apparently, he forgot to tell Apollo that he was “friends” with Phaedra. Messy!
Seeing his friend there completely caught Apollo off guard. He’s not pleased that his homeboy is suddenly dating his ex-wife and the mother of his children. This is another ticking time bomb, waiting to go off.
Is this an ambush?
Things started smoothly on the sandbar, but the vibe slowly started shifting the more Cheick opened his mouth. Apparently, he also knows Sherien. He used to spend the holidays with her family, and with every word, the ladies got more and more confused. Seriously, you need a graph to keep track of all of these exes and scorned lovers.
Apollo sauntered over to clarify to the group that Cheick never told him he was dating Phaedra. Instead, he just vaguely told him that he was attending a speed dating event. With that in the open, the guys started bickering, and Phaedra jumped in to defend Cheick. Annoyed by all of the questions, she said the whole thing felt like an “ambush.”
Phaedra asked, “What does it matter, Apollo? We’re not married. Why are you so worried about who I date?”
Cue the new wife, Sherien. She didn’t like the way Phaedra was talking to Apollo, so she had to get involved. In response, Phaedra called her a “bad-built bitch” before walking away with Cheick.
This whole moment felt like the final nail in Phaedra’s M2M coffin. Clearly, she’s not playing well with these ladies. She’s about to hop on a plane and leave this show behind her.
Sweet Tea goes to bat for Phaedra
Ahead of this trip, Dr. Heavenly and Sweet Tea had an off-camera conversation where they were supposed to set aside their differences to ensure that this vacation could go smoothly. That all went away when Sweet Tea learned that Heavenly was the one who invited Apollo. She felt like she needed to defend her friend, even though Phaedra definitely wouldn’t do the same for her.
Sweet Tea asked, “What was the purpose of you inviting them?”
Heavenly replied, “None of your business. Don’t ask me sh*t. Don’t ask me no motherf*cking questions.”
That response was like dropping a lit match on a puddle of gasoline. Sweet Tea started cussing. Heavenly got up, fell down, and then got up again to get in Sweet Tea’s face. The husbands all had to come running over to break it up. We’re just over here wondering why Heavenly can’t make it through a cast trip to Florida without nearly getting into a fistfight.
The drama on the sandbar felt like some sort of contagion the way it was slowly spreading throughout the group. It started with Apollo and Cheick before making its way over to Sherien and Phaedra. Then, it jumped to Sweet Tea and Heavenly. At the end of the episode, we saw it spread to King and Dr. G. This case might be the worst.
A warning from King to Greg
While everyone was distracted by the chaos on the sandbar, King felt like it was the perfect moment to confront Dr. G about the fight he had with Quad the previous night. He got in Greg’s face and issued a stern warning. The poor camera operators were probably scrambling around this sandbar to make sure they could capture everything.
“What happened last night, I’mma let that sh*t slide,” King began. “You don’t need to speak to her no more.”
You could tell by King’s body language that he meant business. His demeanor may have seemed calm, but this wasn’t a friendly conversation. Clearly frazzled and probably a little tipsy, Dr. Greg quickly got defensive. He was throwing his hands up in the air, claiming that it was Quad who initiated the fight. He felt like King should have this conversation with Quad,
“I don’t have time to fight you or anybody else,” Dr. G squeaked back to King.
Now, anytime you see two men standing that close to each other, they’re either about to kiss, or they’re about to fight. The Whitmores knew it was the latter, so they came over and tried to break it up. However, they were a little too late. King took his shirt off and started charging. In that moment, you know Dr. Greg regretted ever coming on this trip.
Married to Medicine continues on Bravo every Sunday at 9/8c.
