Previously this season on "married to medicine l.A."..

Mommy is gonna become a realtor.

You are not leaving your job.

I don't think you're gonna be able to do the things

that you're doing with the kids right now,

so someone's gonna have to do it, and it ain't gon' be me.

I don't want to not give 100% to my kids.

You're a great wife to robert.

You're a great mother to your kids.

Now it's really time for you to be selfish.

Minie--I can't shake this little dude.

- I mean-- - how do you have intimacy

if your kid sleeps in the bed with you every night?

We--we don't.

Bye, daddy.

Have a good night. I'll see you guys in the morning.

The move to l.A. Hasn't been as easy as I'd anticipated.

[ sighs ] oh, man.

Do you like the new house?

- Yeah. - Oh, he likes you, huh?

My hat is off to every woman who stays home full-time

to take care of kids.

Gearing up to go back full-time.

Just be a good mom.

I need a mix. I need a balance,

'cause I don't wanna lose my mind.

I went on a job interview.

- I'm gonna take this job. - You're signing the contract,

and you're gonna start working.

With his disapproval? That's not the way to kick this off.

Phil is out of town, so he's like--

how long has this been going on?

Probably for the past, like, three months or so.

- What? - Yeah.

They could be separated. I mean, he might be over her ass.

Are you dying for me to come out there?

I got work to do.

He's so committed to this business.

He's willing to forgo anything else, including me.

What's the plan?

Phil and I--we are separated, and we are getting a divorce.

What?!

I think that'll be cute.

I might try it if it has alcohol in it.

I don't know. Without alcohol, it just seems funky to me.

Oh, yeah, it's definitely gonna be spiked.

He goes to sleep at 7 so he can wake up at 2

Absolutely.

Wanna organize this damn thing 'cause it's so damn junky.

I mean, he's a busy man.

What's in there?

I've been hearing you talk about this real estate venture.

How the hell are you gonna be a real estate agent

What is this?

- It's a number. - To what?

- Josh altman. - [ gasps ]

You know I'm already emotional.

I know.

Josh is the go-to guy for l.A. Luxury real estate.

He and I met along with my husband,

and we just hit it off.

Everybody can't just do this. I'm hoping that

giving her josh's number is a push in the right direction.

I can't believe you did this for me.

Yes. I want you to be shanique. I want you to call,

how long have we had this tree for?

Too long.

So what's up with you, idris? How was your day?

It was a day.

Parent-teacher conferences are this weekend.

Everything's erupting into chaos.

Xboxes are getting taken away.

[ laughs ] but you're-- but you're good, though.

[ doorbell rings ] - hello?

Oh, well, good job on just opening the door.

- I was gonna come and get it. - Oh, okay.

Well, I got it for you. - Because I wanted

to put this wreath...

- Hello. - Hi, grandma.

- Hi. How are you? - I'm good.

Yay.

Growing up, christmas was always a big deal in my house.

- Sounds a little personal. - It's like a really nice

charlie brown--well, it's not totally charlie brown.

Santa claus used to actually really kinda scare me as a kid,

'cause I was like, who is this white man

who's supposed to come through our chimney when we're all sleep

and bring us presents?

Like, this santa stuff is, like, stressing me out.

Did you give your mom and grandpa your list?

- It's just one thing. - And money

to get more things afterwards.

- Yeah. - Oh, I see.

How was your trip?

[ sighs ] the first night we did a gift exchange.

- [ squeals ] - and it has suction!

Hell, no.

Oh...My god.

Oh, also penis straws.

A dick whistle!

Dick in the straw. Just dicks in your bag.

Not only did I never have such a conversation with my mother...

I've never had a conversation with any of my friends either.

I could never have a conversation with my mother

and my grandson. - High five, idris.

- Dick whistle. - [ laughs ]

that being said, palm springs-- ugh.

It was nice. I mean, aside from the penises,

we had fun. - What's happening with phil?

You know, we talked. We spoke to idris

and told him what was happening.

What's the process? What's happening? What's next?

I know that you gave me the names of two mediators.

I really haven't had the chance to even, like, call them.

Phil's stuff is still here,

so I'm going to probably just, like,

have somebody come and pack it-- pack up his stuff.

And then you can send via u.S. Postal service.

Idris, you've been listening intently.

Yeah, no, I'm just, like... A lot of emotions.

Like what?

Like normally this would happen, and, like,

usually they're gone and then you have to

process that on your own.

Well, but that is what happened, really. I mean...

Well, he's not processing it on his own.

Like, I have you guys to talk to me--talk me through it.

Oh, oh, oh, I see what you're saying. Oh, okay.

Your mom's gonna be happier now.

It's also a good thing because everyone deserves

to seek and achieve happiness.

And if you're not finding it,

you gotta figure out how to find it.

And I guess for some people, it's dildos and penises.

- I mean, and dick whistles. - And I--I... [ laughs ]

- I mean... - Can I see the penis stuff?

- Later. - I wanna put it on the tree.

I'm not putting a penis on the christmas tree.

I signed a contract when I came back from palm springs.

Okay.

You're thinking that what the hell am I thinking?

It's been hard, as you know, for me to, uh,

I guess, let go of you now that we have you

I know you're a very nice person,

but yeah, tell--let me know.

I have been going back and forth

of wanting to venture into real estate.

I'm currently into property management,

which is also a version of real estate.

Everything you know about that business...

- Mm-hmm. - ...Has nothing to do

about the business we're about to talk about.

- I know! - Do you have a license?

I do. I've had it for over seven years.

It's a little dusty. It's just sitting away.

You ever actually... Sold real estate?

- No. I haven't. - Um...

- Yeah. - There's thousands of realtors

in l.A.--Thousands...

- Absolutely, yeah. - ...All trying to make it,

all clawing their way to the top.

- Mm-hmm. - And the people at the top

are literally eating 'em up, chewing 'em,

and spitting 'em out.

Because if you go

on a listing appointment against me, you're gonna lose.

Do you have any more questions about the menu or anything?

- Do you have cappuccino? - Yeah.

Are you particular in which milk?

- Yes. Do you have oat? - Yes, we do.

I'll do that.

Uh, I'll just take an iced vanilla latte.

All right, I'll go get those for you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Of course. Be right back. - You gotta join a team.

- Yes. - Okay? Because the only way

you're gonna get that listing is you bring in someone

who's been, you know, in the business a long time.

- Right. - And you wanna find

a micro market, know every house that's on the market

in that area. - Got it.

Don't try to be an expert from malibu to downtown.

- Yeah. - Doesn't happen.

Oh, sh--. I'm so ----ed.

- It's a 24/7 job. - Yeah.

So the number one type of people that fail

are people who think they can do it as a part-time job.

Feels like déjà vu right now.

You can't start a new career

and try to balance being a wife and a mom.

It is unreasonable.

- Thank you so much. - All right. Cheers.

- Thanks. - You know, what I'm thinking of

is right now my husband--

he knows a lot of physicians here in l.A.

- Okay. - A lot of them are young,

just starting to practice, and so I'm like,

"hey, why not let me help you find your dream home?"

so that's amazing.

That would be a great niche for you to do.

- Yeah. - You look the part.

Thank you.

Okay, you look successful already.

- You're professional. - Yes.

You're a walking billboard. You're a brand.

Mm-hmm, absolutely. You're a brand, totally. I know.

So you've got that going for you. Good.

Hopefully in 15 years, I can sit here and have a conversation

with someone else and say... - For sure.

"you know what? I was sitting here with josh altman..."
