Just about every friendship weathers ups and downs. Sometimes, you might even find yourself wondering if you can be a better friend. That's when it's time to sit back and determine if a friendship is worth saving. If it is, then you need to put in work — and Dr. Jackie Walters and Dr. Simone Whitmore did just that. 

"I can tell you I missed my friend," Dr. Walters told The List. She added that the women wanted to let viewers watch their journey together play out this season. However, she emphasized that they were doing what they could to make things right. 

"We're working on being good friends again," she explained. That doesn't mean they can rewrite the past, but it sounds like they don't want to rehash it, either. It's all about the future now. "Sometimes it's not always to get what you had back, but to get the new and improved [version]. We are definitely working our way up a hill," she said. Bravo noted that the duo's reunion played a role in the Season 9 premiere. 

In fact, it's not just Jackie and Simone who are spending time together again. Their husbands — Cecil Whitmore and Curtis Berry — have also gotten to bond. Cue Peaches & Herb's "Reunited" because this sounds so good!
