The February 23 spoilers for Beyond the Gates focus on a big guest star appearance — and another CBS crossover. Gayle King from CBS Mornings is slated to appear in Monday’s episode when Anita appears on the popular morning news show.
Key Takeaways
- Anita Williams Dupree appears on CBS Mornings with BTG guest-star Gayle King to go public.
- A break in Hayley’s mugging case could expose a dangerous con.
- June gives Joey a key tip while Samantha struggles to balance school and life.
Anita Dupree Goes Public
Anita’s lunch with Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant), when she practically fainted in front of the entire country club, snowballed into so much more drama. The rumors started swirling, and Anita (Tamara Tunie, whose character’s cancer storyline inspired a real-life ChelseaKat bag) began getting calls with exaggerated details about what happened at the club. Anita didn’t want these rumors to blow back negatively on her family or any of her charities and charitable contributions.
As a result, Anita puts in a call to her publicist, and on Monday, she ends up sitting in a chair on the set of CBS Mornings, the network’s morning news show. Co-host Gayle King is right there beside her, ready to interview her. King, who joined CBS News in 2011, is accustomed to securing high-profile interviews, such as the one with Anita Williams Dupree.
She’s the perfect person to help Anita go public with her cancer diagnosis. And from here on out, Anita’s life changes forever. What kind of reaction will Anita get from her fans? How about those at the country club? This will, hopefully, stop any rumors and misinformation from spreading.
A Big Break
In other Monday news, there’s a break in Hayley’s mugging case. One of the main questions is whether this break comes from the police investigation, from a manufactured lead that Randy provides, or pure dumb luck. Joey (Jon Lindstrom) decided to do Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) a favor and have Randy (Maurice P. Kerry) track down the menace to society that allegedly mugged Hayley (Marquita Goings).
Unfortunately for Randy, Hayley, and Lynette (Dominique Madison), the whole thing was a ploy to get Hayley more attention from Bill. If this break means someone is closer to discovering that this crime is a con, then the cousins and their pal need to start coming up with a counterplan…or an escape plan.
The Orphey Gene Informant
Meanwhile, June (Jasmine Burke) is proving to be a person handy to have around, whether she likes it or not. She knows all about The Impaler, and now the teasers suggest that she gives Joey a valuable tip.
Which case does this involve? Does she inadvertently reveal something about the plasma ring? Or is she responsible for the break in the “mugging” case?
School / Life Balance
Samantha (Najah Jackson) has too much going on, and hopefully her grades won’t suffer for it. Apparently, she’s struggling to balance life and school. She’s a great student, but going to school and preparing to be a debutante in the upcoming Cotillion is taking up all her time and energy.
There’s also the fact that she sometimes models for ChelseaKat. And she’s worried about her grandmother. Something has to give. She might have to figure out a way to handle it all before her fathers will need to decide for her.
