The Thursday, February 19, spoilers for Beyond the Gates focus on Leslie and Anita getting into it in the middle of the country club. And their confrontation has unfortunate consequences for Anita. Meanwhile, Elon schools Jacob on the art of going deep, deep undercover. And Naomi surprises Hayley.
Key Takeaways
- Leslie and Anita’s country club clash turns public and deeply personal.
- Elon gives Jacob tough guidance about the risks of deep undercover work.
- Naomi surprises Hayley as relationships shift across Fairmont Crest.
Public Confrontation
BTG’s weekly video preview features a quick look at a heartbreaking situation. It involves Anita (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon (Clifton Davis) at the country club, and Leslie is there, too. Apparently, Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) ruins Anita’s lunch, and unfortunately, the stress will push Anita’s health issues into the open.
Leslie probably thinks she can serve up an extra dose of drama after her disastrous Valentine’s Day, when she ended up all alone. She had to watch Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) and Ted (Keith D. Robinson) on a date. On top of that, Shanice and Anita’s daughter, Dani (Karla Mosley), confronted her at Uptown and ran her off. Oh, and while Leslie thought Marcel (Darryl W. Handy) would join her, he refused because he was working, and that wasn’t the type of relationship they had anyway.
This sets the stage for a country-club confrontation, with Leslie potentially taking no prisoners. When Anita stumbles in the wake of this showdown, she may no longer be able to keep her cancer diagnosis a secret from the world.
Undercover 101
Meanwhile, Jacob (Jibre Hordges) will have to endure his father’s worry over his undercover assignment. He wants respect and to be treated like every other detective. But in truth, this is his first time going to such great lengths to get justice. Look for Elon (Malachi Malik) to school Jacob on the brutal realities of deep undercover work.
Jacob must take it to heart because, according to the weekly spoilers, one couple chooses to live apart. The video preview reveals that the couple is Jacob and Naomi (Arielle Prepetit). Going undercover requires difficult choices and an absolute commitment to the case. The detective will need to commit 100% to his undercover persona.
In addition, he’ll want to protect Naomi from any blowback or danger, so moving out of their house is a logical but painful decision. The couple’s marriage has seen some shaky times. What will this separation do to their relationship? Especially since Naomi is already hiding the BRCA gene secret from her husband?
Surprises and Tension Everywhere
Naomi also shows up in scenes with her ex-bestie, Hayley (Marquita Goings), who was recently mugged. Naomi was at the hospital to see the fallout. And now there’s a chance that Naomi and Hayley’s relationship may evolve when the attorney surprises her dad’s wife. Have Naomi’s icy feelings for Hayley thawed?
Finally, Hayley’s con artist pal, Lynette (Dominique Madison), encounters difficulty on Thursday. The teasers suggest that Lynette deals with two tense confrontations. One has to be Randy (Maurice P. Kerry). Who’s the other? Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett)? He just warned Hayley to stay away from Lynette.
It’s clear he feels something’s up with his client. He must think that she’s shady, which is funny, considering he can’t tell the same thing about his wife.
