Anita Learns News That Could Change Everything
Since the end of 2025, Anita (Tamara Tunie) has been on a journey to get well. Learning she had an aggressive form of breast cancer was the last thing she thought she would have to deal with. She has struggled with the feeling that her body has betrayed her. And she almost gave up her will to live after she faced the Red Devil and got that infection that sent her to the hospital.
But her family and friends have been by her side every step of the way. And now, after a four-month struggle, Anita finally receives a major medical update from her oncologist. In BTG’s weekly video preview, she tells Vernon (Clifton Davis) that the results are in and they’ll finally see whether or not the chemo is working.
Good news could bolster her spirits. Bad news could send even the great Anita Dupree spiraling. What is she about to learn?
Smitty Doesn’t Seem to Fess Up to His Mother-in-Law
Meanwhile, Nicole (Daphnee Duplaix) is busy dealing with HackGate 2026. Somebody used her laptop to access hospital records, and she undoubtedly wants answers. She has no idea that the one who perpetrated the crime was her own son-in-law.
Smitty (Mike Manning) took a dangerous risk doing what he did. And there’s a chance that his actions will come back to bite him in the you-know-what.
On Tuesday, Smitty covers in front of Nicole. Yeah, he’s getting in deeper here. Would it be better for him to lay his cards on the table for Nicole and confess? It could put her mind at ease, and he can start with his mea culpas sooner rather than later. This could cause major drama for the family.
Bill Grills Hayley
It’s funny that Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) is highly suspicious of Lynette (Dominique Madison). He has been for a while. Yet he still can’t figure out that he married a con artist. He feels Lynette has been taking advantage of his poor wife. Little does he know.
But there’s a chance that he may start to get a hint when he throws some tough questions at Hayley (Marquita Goings). What will he find out after he’s done grilling his wife? He knows their connection is odd. Let’s see if Hayley can talk her way out of this one.
Randy Deals with Lynette
Last week, Randy (Maurice P. Kerry) told his cousin that he would be the one to deal with Lynette. That greedy woman has gotten away with a lot. She’s currently living the life in that luxury hotel. She’s going on spending sprees on Hayley’s dime. And she held on to her friend’s engagement ring.
But that wasn’t enough. She’s pushing things by looking for penthouses and reneging on her deal with Hayley. She’s not leaving town anytime soon. So what does Randy think he can do to get rid of Lynette?
Sisterly Support for Chelsea and Naomi
The teasers reveal that Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) tries to be there for Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) during her time of need. Emphasis on tries. Naomi has gotten a lot of support while she and Jacob have been apart. Everyone from Ashley (Jen Jacob) to Smitty to Anita to Darlene (Monique Mosee) has attempted to help her deal with her current situation.
But she can’t tell everybody the truth about why she and Jacob (Jibre Hordges) are really apart. She’s worried that her husband may not come back from this undercover assignment. But to her family, he’s just off training somewhere. Will Chelsea provide the comfort that Naomi needs?
Naomi is mounting Madison’s defense in this pending lawsuit. So Chelsea will want to be there for Naomi like she’s showing up for her.
