This Friday on Beyond the Gates, we are introduced to the Chief of Staff of Garland Memorial. Soap Hub has an exclusive clip featuring Cecilia Specht’s debut as Dr. Lia Whitmore. The spoilers for the February 13 episode also focus on Dani’s comeback, which takes an unlucky turn. Here’s a breakdown of what else to expect.
Key Takeaways
- Dr. Lia Whitmore makes a commanding debut at Garland Memorial
- Dani’s public comeback hits unexpected turbulence
- Family bonds strengthen as Anita and Vernon guide the next generation
Comeback Chaos
Dani’s life is a series of highs and lows. She found out she carries the BRCA gene and that her mother has breast cancer. On the flip side, she and Andre (Sean Freeman) are closer than ever despite bumps in the road. And she recently accepted a modeling gig as the face of a new clothing line. Dani (Karla Mosley) gave up her career for her husband family family decades ago. But she now realizes she can have it all.
But she will have to work for it, especially when people try to hold her back. The weekly spoilers suggest that Dani publicly launches her comeback, but an antagonistic reporter sideswipes her. Dani is a formidable woman, but even she has insecurities. Will she let them get to her? This could be a small obstacle she can overcome. Or this setback will derail her whole comeback. Which one will it be?
A Mother’s Love
During her battle with cancer, Anita (Tamara Tunie) has struggled with accepting help. Her family wants to be there for her, but it’s usually the other way around. It’s troubled her, and she loves to have purpose. For instance, she lights up every time she helps Samantha (Najah Jackson) and Jessica (Camryn Jade) gear up for the Cotillion.
And on Friday, Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) and Dani will both need her. Anita is called on to reassure both of her daughters, who are each experiencing turbulence in their lives. Sometimes, women just need a mother’s love to make things better.
Quality Time with Granddad
While Anita deals with their daughters, Vernon (Clifton Davis) spends quality time with one of their granddaughters. It’s the one who, arguably, is most in need of his words of wisdom. Kat’s (Colby Muhammad, who talks about the reason she’s acting) attitude and anger have been a problem with several of her family members, including her mother and father. They have had a lot to say about how she can’t bring herself to forgive and accept Eva (Ambyr Michelle, who talks about BTG’s season 2 and Eva’s rivalry with Kat) into her life and the family.
Kat even got into it with Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) when she learned her cousin was headed to Copenhagen to live with Madison (Kenjah). And she judged her mother for dating two men at once. Is there one specific subject she and Vernon tackle? Maybe Kat talks to her grandfather about all of the above. He always has a way of getting to the heart of the matter.
Lynette’s Grifter Success
Finally, the teasers reveal that Lynette (Dominique Madison) gets what she wants from Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Hayley. This week, Hayley got Bill to take Lynette’s case pro bono. And there’s the potential that the grifter walks away with Hayley’s engagement ring, after she helped her secure Bill’s undivided attention by staging a mugging.
What else does she want? What else does she get?
