Key Takeaways
- Chelsea prepares to share major news that could change her future.
- Sparks fly as Ted and Shanice take their connection to the next level.
- Naomi feels the pressure mount, setting the stage for potential conflict.
Triggered Declaration
The weekly spoilers reveal Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) has major news to share with her family. Now this could simply (or not so simply) be the test results she has been waiting patiently for. She could be carrying the BRCA gene, in which case, she would need to determine her next steps.
However, ever since her grandmother’s cancer diagnosis, and her mom discovered she carried the BRCA gene, Chelsea has been rethinking her life. She even discussed her thoughts with Madison (Kenjah), who was surprised to hear Chelsea’s take. The handbag designer said this crisis is helping her realize she didn’t want to play things safe.
She even talked about how she used to go to the airport and just pick a destination. She wanted to mix things up. As a result, Madison looked worried. Should we be worried about Chelsea’s major news?
Ted and Shanice Crank Up the Heat
It’s 2026, and a certain busted love triangle is looking a lot different. Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) is having fun and a little danger with Detective Marcel Malone (Darryl W. Handy). Although she still has her eye on Teddy. Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) is having her own fun as she dates Carlton (Robert Christopher Riley). And the Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) romance has been progressing nicely.
On Friday, the plastic surgeon and the supervising nurse continue to grow closer. Look for things to heat up between Shanice and Ted.
Too Much Pressure
Naomi’s emotions are understandably all over the place with what her grandmother and mother are going through. And she’s waiting for those results herself. Things could change even more if the test results come back positive. Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) is a Dupree woman, after all. They like to be in control, and when something happens that sends them spiraling, they don’t always handle it well.
The teasers suggest that Naomi feels pressured by Jacob (Jibre Hordges). And when that happens, how will she react? If history is any indication, a massive conflict is likely to erupt. Perhaps the two should book an emergency appointment with their therapist to help them out.
In Other News
Over the holidays, Izaiah (David Lami Friebe) and Eva (Ambyr Michelle) grew closer. She might have tried to sabotage their relationship at one point, but they got through it. On Thursday, she experiences some family drama, and on Friday, she must deal with some fallout. It’s a good thing she has Izaiah around to comfort her.
Finally, Derek (Ben Gavin) does not like what he sees, which means he could spot Ashley (Jen Jacob) with Grayson (Jordi Vilasuso). The two quickly hit it off the other day. So much so, they’re already going out on another date. If this scenario were to happen, what would Derek do about what he sees? Was Ashley calling off their engagement his villainous origin story?
