We finally met Martin and Smitty’s kids, Samantha and Tyrell. And in the Wednesday, March 12 episode of Beyond the Gates, the teens immediately expressed their thoughts about Martin’s archaic beliefs. Meanwhile, Leslie and Eva disagreed on when and where to get their revenge on Nicole and Ted. Something tells us Leslie’s going to win this round.
Richardson Family Meeting
Martin (Brandon Claybon) couldn’t believe Smitty (Mike Manning) continued to pursue going back to investigative reporting. However, this time, Smitty had backup in the form of Samantha (Najah Jackson) and Tyrell (Jaden Lucas Miller). The teens came downstairs and immediately took Smitty’s side. They didn’t understand why Martin was so against his husband going back to work. Thankfully, he gave an inch when he decided Smitty could take on one assignment. Although, we all know one assignment won’t be enough for Smitty, right?
Regardless, it was nice to finally see the entire family spend some quality time together. Unfortunately, whatever is going on with Martin may mess up his future with his family. Why does he have a routine about locking the doors? Why won’t he go to bed when his husband does? Exactly why does he seem hyper-protective of his family? And does he not want Smitty to go back to investigative reporting because he doesn’t know the whole story about what happened to Martin?

Leslie and Eva: Not On The Same Page
Meanwhile, the family dynamics between Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) and Eva (Ambyr Michelle) are getting shaky. Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) has shown trust in Eva’s opinions, thoughts, and contributions. In Wednesday’s episode, they worked on Nicole’s speech for the impending awards ceremony. Eva contributed, she learned, and she anticipated. It looked like a great experience. And then she went home.
Eva stayed on point with her mom’s revenge plan by taking home Ted’s (Maurice Johnson) smoothie straw. This way, they can get a DNA test to prove that he’s Eva’s father. However, Eva doesn’t want to mess with Nicole’s awards ceremony. On the other hand, Leslie thinks that the big gala is exactly where they should blow the roof off Nicole and Ted’s seemingly perfect existence.

Guess whose opinion will win out? After all, Leslie is already calling in a favor. She must have a friend who can put a super rush on the DNA test results. And it doesn’t hurt that she gets herself a job with the waitstaff at the grand event.
Leslie is coming for Ted and Nicole, and nothing’s going to stop her. Not even her daughter.
