In the Wednesday, March 26 episode of Beyond the Gates, Bill and Dani faced their daughters and their independent decisions. While they undoubtedly had issues with what Naomi and Chelsea announced, the parents were both proud.
Competitive Spirit
Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) was in Bill’s office when he got served, and now he knows that his daughter is coming for his law firm. Proving a hostile work environment and sexual harassment is no joke, but it was clear Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) is already taking his daughter seriously. He immediately tried to gaslight her and make her question whether her lawsuit had merit.
Father and daughter have already started making their cases to each other. Naomi stood strong even as Bill called her “sweetheart” and tried to explain away the “lower level” women and their so-called baseless complaints. He also insisted that they were let go for poor performance. Bill will cover for Mike (Pierce Lackey) even though he has been hella annoyed with him and can’t be surprised about Mike’s behavior.
After Naomi left, Bill sat down at his desk, and instead of a fearful or angry expression on his face, he looked proud of his daughter. Later, he pretty much told Hayley (Marquita Goings) as much. This father-daughter showdown is going to be so much fun to see play out.

Separation Anxiety
Meanwhile, Bill’s ex, Dani (Karla Mosley), dealt with her own tough conversation when Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) finally told her mom that she wanted to quit modeling. Instead, she and her cousin Kat (Colby Muhammad) were going to start their own business, and Chelsea would be the designer while Kat would tackle the business side of things.
While we waited for Dani to have another meltdown, that didn’t happen. She handled it maturely and knew that was all she could do unless she wanted to come off hypocritical. After all, when she was 17, she broke out on her own and entered the modeling world despite Anita’s (Tamara Tunie) concerns.
Dani couldn’t believe Chelsea hadn’t come to her about this before. She understood that Chelsea was trying to protect her, but she also knew that she had to let Chelsea be Chelsea and let her go. She was hurt that Chelsea didn’t open up to her, but on the other hand, she was proud of her daughter.
It wasn’t until later, at home on her own, that she really felt the pain of the situation. She kept thinking about when she was 17 and that, for two years, she was at the top of the modeling game. While she drank (again), you could see her regrets that she gave up her entire life in favor of pouring her heart and soul into Bill Hamilton.
