Just when you thought the ladies of Married to Medicine might take a breather, Bravo throws another Birkin into the mix. This Sunday, it’s all about the Benjamins, or lack thereof, as Dr. Jackie finds herself facing a financial squeeze right before the all-important Med Gala. The gala, a staple of Atlanta’s medical elite, is the place to see and be seen, making Dr. Jackie’s predicament all the more precarious.
Details are scarce, but the episode description hints that Phaedra might be the one to throw Dr. Jackie a financial lifeline. Whether this act of charity comes with strings attached remains to be seen. The title, “Baby Birkin,” offers a clue, perhaps suggesting that a penchant for luxury goods has contributed to Dr. Jackie’s cash flow issues. Or maybe it’s a red herring. This is Married to Medicine, after all, where the drama is often as manufactured as the handbags.
This season has already seen its share of squabbles and shifting alliances. This latest financial wrinkle will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. Will the other ladies rally around Dr. Jackie, or will they use this as an opportunity to climb the social ladder, stepping over her Louboutins on their way to the top? One thing’s for certain: with this group, a little financial instability can go a long way in stirring up trouble.
Tune in to Bravo on Sunday, January 19, at 9:00 PM to witness the potential fireworks.
