The supertease for Married To Medicine is here and it’s full of drama and a fresh face.

In season 8, the ladies, Dr. Jackie Walters, Dr. Heavenly Kimes, Dr. Simone Whitmore, Dr. Contessa Metcalfe, and Toya Bush-Harris, are all back alongside “friend of the show” Miss Quad. Mariah Huq is out this season and currently suing Bravo for discrimination.

There are also two M2M alumna back for the new season; Lisa Nicole Cloud (season 2-4) and Kari Wells (season 1).

The ladies’ lives are turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic and the medical professionals are especially impacted. Some of the ladies are working on the frontlines while also getting involved in important social justice movements. In the supertease they travel to Washington D.C. and meet with Civil Rights attorney Benjamin Crump. They also meet with Rev. Al Sharpton before a mini M2M & Real Housewives of Potomac crossover happens with Gizelle Bryant. No Karen Huger, Jamal is not there by her side.

In addition to the recurring cast, there’s a newbie on board; Anila Sajja, a friend of Toya’s who is the wife of ocular surgeon, Dr. Kiran Sajja, a mother of two, and a fashion blogger. Dr. Heavenly isn’t impressed by Saija and wonders if her career as a blogger is a “real job.” Anila sends Heavenly shade right back and remarks that “anyone can be a dentist.”

In addition to that drama, the supertease shows Dr. Contessa Metcalfe’s strained marriage to her husband Scott, and Dr. Jackie and Dr. Simone working on their fractured friendship. “I miss my friend,” says Dr. Jackie. At one point Toya and Quad also get in a screaming match behind face shields.

The ladies of “Married to Medicine” return to your TV screens Sunday, March 7 at 9/8c.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
