Parks' absence comes after the season trailer showed her leaving theMarried to Medicinecouples trip early when her ex-husbandApollo Nida and his now-estranged wife,Sherien Almufti, showed up seemingly without her knowledge. “Some people can be played with, and I’m not one of them,” Phaedra said in the clip.

However, viewers saw in episode 9 that Parks was told about Nida potentially coming on the getaway before they left. “We’re in a great place,” Parks told Kimes, who had asked for Parks' permission to include Nida. “I appreciate you calling me, I really do. Let it be a surprise.”
