Married to Medicinefans gagged last season whenQuad Webb’sex-husband,Greg “Dr. G” Lunceford,returned to the series with his much younger new bride,Lateasha “Sweet Tea” Lunceford. At the time, Quad’s relationship with her cast mates wasn’t in the best place, but it was awkward as the ladies attempted to welcome Dr. G’s very naive new wife to the group. For her first season,Sweet Tea proved to be a formidable opponentand stood up for herself when the other women, especially Quad, gave her a hard time. The ladies gave her a hard time, but Sweet Tea won audiences over because she refused to back down and relished in the fact that she was the answer to Dr. G’s true desires. She bragged about sliding into his DMs on Instagram and letting him know she was eager to meet him and hopefully have his babies. It was no secret that one of the biggest points of contention in Dr. G’s marriage to Quad was his desire to start a family, while Quad prioritized her career and social life. While Quad enjoyed poking fun at Sweet Tea’s simple nature and less than sophisticated wardrobe, the younger woman was solifidying her “soft life” future with Dr. G in Quad’s former home.
Quad isn’t alone in her painful rant. Instead of fussing back and forth with his ex-wife, Dr. G takes his frustration out on Sweet Tea, who is prepared to go blow for verbal blow with Quad. Dr. G exhibits the behavior most people associate with older men, who prefer younger women. He attempts to assert dominance over Sweet Tea while she continues arguing with Quad. Later, after the couple retire to their room, Dr. G is still visibly shaken by the exchange and tells his wife he is disappointed in her decision to argue in front of the group with Quad. King also shares his surprise at Quad’s behavior,acknowledging she is still very hurt from her past with Dr. G. The other couples seem shocked at the palpable unhealed pain shared between Quad and Dr. G. Although their divorce was finalized in 2019, it’s clear there is still some much-needed closure that neither Sweet Tea or King have been able to bypass.
Quad’s fascination with proving she is a better choice than Sweet Tea, alerts audiences to the fact that she hasn’t emotionally moved on from the pain she endured in her previous marriage. Even if Quad doesn’t consciously realize she hasn’t gotten over the past, her actions at the couples triphighlighted her unhealed trauma in bold letters. During a trivia game, couples were questioned about the frequency of their sex lives. Quad was quick to brag inappropriately about her daily sex life with King, while the other couples were clearly uncomfortable with the group dynamic. Refusing to be outdone, Sweet Tea attempted to share the frequency of her sex life with Dr. G that was no wear near the ridiculous account Quad claimed. Married to Medicine’s resident psychiatrist,Dr. Mimi Sandersattempted to bring a rational perspective, but Quad quickly shot the dr’s suggestions and continued goading Dr. G and Sweet Tea.
Like many women, Kai believed that finding a replacement with a younger body and a bigger wallet would make her the winner in love and Dr. G the loser. Quad has the better body, the better closet, andnow the man spoiling her with anything her heart desires.
Unfortunately for Quad, that is not the formula or antidote for heartbreak. Instead of prioritizing all the many trinkets she has, she would do better to focus on becoming the best version of herself that she can be. Instead of rendezvousing with King or even bragging about how much money he has,Quad needs to put that relationship on hold and get to some therapy quickly.Hopefully, after a few sessions, King can return and get to know, and possibly fall in love with the real Quad. As it stands, she and Dr. G would both benefit from some quality time with Dr. Mimi.
