After airing a special MLK Day episode of Beyond the Gates, the show returns with a new episode on Tuesday, January 20. The weekly spoilers focus on Joey and Leslie, who are finding their all-star team-up challenging. Joey lays down the law with his sudden business partner.
Key Takeaways
- Joey lays down firm conditions with Leslie, testing their uneasy business alliance.
- Vanessa drops shocking intel that may spark new questions.
- A Hamilton family gathering turns awkward as secrets, jealousy, and shifting priorities collide.
His Way or the Highway
Joey (Jon Lindstrom) entered into this business partnership with Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) because it was what Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) wanted. But as long as he’s using his deep pockets to help fund this free clinic, he has conditions that must be met. Call it guilt or another form of deflection, but Joey wants the clinic to honor Vanessa’s late husband, Dr. Doug McBride (Jason Graham).
However, Leslie has already named the clinic after herself. She didn’t come up with the idea of the free clinic, but she’s acting like she did. She’s willing to dedicate a room to Doug, but that’s about as far as her generosity goes.
Joey has already threatened Leslie, but he’s about to make sure she knows he’s serious about his demands. Look for the corrupt casino owner to put Leslie in her place. How will Leslie react? She doesn’t scare easily.
Meanwhile, Vanessa shocks Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) with scandalous information. Is this about Leslie? Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Shanice (Ernestine Johnson)? Or someone else?
Awkward Family Time
The Hamiltons experience an awkward celebration. It’s unsurprising, given that Chelsea’s (RhonniRose Mantilla) test results came back negative. However, Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) may have lied about hers. If that is what happened, how long will she be able to keep up the charade?
And we also have to remember that if this celebration involves all the Hamiltons, including Hayley (Marquita Goings), then the atmosphere will most likely be simmering with tension. Double if Andre (Sean Freeman) is part of the festivities. He doesn’t appreciate Bill’s (Timon Kyle Durrett) continued presence in every aspect of Dani’s (Karla Mosley) life.
Finally, Chelsea may not carry the BRCA gene, but this close call has shaken her up. As a result, she’s looking at things through a different lens. And this will undoubtedly affect her relationship, according to the teasers. Chelsea’s new lease on life causes friction with Madison (Kenjah).
