In the Tuesday, May 27 episode of Beyond the Gates, Anita and Tracy almost called it quits but persevered and continued to hash out their past issues. Chelsea found out about Bill and Hayley’s baby news. Tomas and Kat had a productive discussion. Jessica and Tyrell connected. And Smitty finally told Martin about his secret conversations with Bill.
The Lies Don’t Stop
Martin, Martin, Martin (Brandon Clabyon)! Smitty (Mike Manning) finally confronted Martin about his conversations with Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett). In them, Bill alludes to a secret that Martin is keeping from his husband. And what does Martin do about it? He blows it off, deflects, and lies to Smitty about it. He makes it seem like it was one of Bill’s power moves since Martin is a congressman with a ton of key contacts.
Smitty fears that Bill knows more about Martin than he does. And you know what? Bill does. Whatever the secret is, it has probably changed Martin forever. But who knows how long ago it was and what it is? Hopefully, we’ll find out soon. This secret needs to be a priority.

New Secret Alert
The other priority secret is Anita’s. During her painful and tension-filled chat with Tracy (Maria Howell), Anita (Tamara Tunie) once again admits that she wasn’t always a good person. Back then, when she was in the girl group, she was ambitious and would do anything to get what she wanted. Obviously, we don’t know what that secret is, but it has to be bad. And hopefully, not Bill or Ted (Keith D. Robinson) bad, but a whole different kind of bad.
And while Tracy’s mad, something tells us that it’s not going to be on the level of Sharon’s anger. This other Articulette in the equation hasn’t agreed to talk to Anita yet. In fact, she has hung up on Ms. Queen Dupree. Who knows if she’ll ever agree to even speak to Anita, let alone perform a comeback concert with her.
We absolutely need to find out more about Dante Green. Is he alive? Hopefully, he is, and they will cast him because he seems like a manipulative manager who took advantage of Anita’s ambitious leanings. However, in the present, Anita was ready to give up and let Tracy leave, but Tracy stayed, and they dug deep to continue the conversation.

They didn’t settle in a great place, but definitely in a better place than where they were. Tracy decided to make that call to Sharon and at least forge some sort of peace between the two. Now what? When does the next piece of the puzzle make itself known?
Anita even told Vernon (Clifton Davis) that he didn’t know the real Anita back then—he only thought he did—and that she had worked hard to put that person behind her. Has she? Or is it a side of her that will rear its head every once in a while when the occasion calls?

Is Hayley Telling the Truth?
What about Hayley (Marquita Goings)? Is she telling the truth about being pregnant with Bill’s baby? It just seems so sudden. At this point, we’re with Dani (Karla Mosley) in the BTG video preview. We need proof.
