Previously on BTG
The Christmas celebration is over. Vernon (Clifton Davis), Sharon (Bonita Brisker), and Tracy (Maria Howell) know Anita has breast cancer, but Anita (Tamara Tunie) is waiting until the holidays are over to reveal it to the rest of the family. One secret that was outed: Vernon turned to Sharon for singing lessons so he could surprise his wife with his newly acquired vocal skills. He beautifully belted out “Joy to the World” and “Never Can Say Goodbye” (a song written by Clifton Davis, which has been performed by the Jackson 5 and Gloria Gaynor). There was never any affair between Sharon and Vernon.
Elsewhere, Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) had a festive Christmas. She spent much of it with Peaches (Arle Michel) and then her daughter, Eva (Ambyr Michelle). The two exchanged gifts in style at the Fairmont Crest Country Club. Afterwards, Leslie visited Ted (Keith D. Robinson) in his hotel room, and they had a nice conversation, but Ted was not willing to pursue anything deeper than friendship with Leslie. Eva’s Christmas joy continued when she and Izaiah (David Lami Friebe) connected on a deeper level at her place. As for Ted, he and Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) celebrated together with pizza and cheesecake while watching A Christmas Carol.
A Meeting of the Villainous Minds
With Christmas over, it’s time for Leslie to get down to business. And whatever business she has, it involves heading to the casino to enlist Joey’s help. The weekly spoilers suggest that Leslie courts Joey (Jon Lindstrom) with a scandalous offer.
Knowing Leslie, this offer, should Joey accept, could cause drama, damage, and destruction for one of her foes or someone who she thinks is an obstacle.
Or it could be a shady way to get the free clinic off the ground so she can get the glory she feels she so richly deserves. Which scenario will it be?
Struggling with Devastating News
Understandably, Anita and Vernon struggle to accept their new normal. She received a brutal diagnosis. The type of breast cancer she has can be aggressive, especially in Black women. And it’s stubborn in the fact that it has a higher recurrence rate, meaning it is likely to return even after the initial treatment proves successful.
Anita and Vernon will need their entire village to help them through this, which means they will have to inform their family sooner rather than later.
Friendly Competitions and Sharp Turns
Also coming up on Monday, Dani (Karla Mosley) and Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) compete over the same man. Dani and Vanessa are friends who are always honest with each other, and most of the time, they refrain from making judgments about each other. Something else they have in common? They’re super competitive. So what triggers this sudden challenge of two of Fairmont Crest’s fiercest females?
Finally, Eva and Izaiah connected in a special way on Christmas. But the close and cozy vibes they had with each other take a turn. Eva pulls back where Izaiah is concerned. Why is Eva suddenly sabotaging this relationship?
