Joey and Vanessa have different opinions about Heather. Joey’s sister just traded shots (tequila) with Vanessa, and the two continued to bond. But all isn’t right, and Joey may be right to be wary about his sibling. On the Thursday, August 13, episode of Beyond the Gates, the two realize they don’t see eye to eye regarding Heather. Additionally, Caroline and Hayley play each other. And Andre has a tense visit with Bill.
Key Takeaways
- Joey and Vanessa disagree over Heather’s intentions.
- Hayley and Caroline attempt to outsmart each other.
- Andre pays Bill a tension-filled visit.
- Smitty ponders an interesting opportunity while Ashley and Grayson help a friend in need.
Joey and Vanessa are Divided Over Heather
Heather (Ashley Jones) keeps popping in and out of Joey’s (Jon Lindstrom) and Vanessa’s lives. But with each visit, she seems to infiltrate their lives more and more. First, she bonded with Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) and Dani (Karla Mosley) at Uptown.
Then she showed up at Joey’s casino, where she supposedly went tequila shot for shot with Vanessa. But the whole time, she sneakily dumped her liquor into the bucket while Vanessa proceeded to get drunker and drunker. Heather’s definitely up to something. She’s giving shady vibes.
On Thursday, Joey and Vanessa do not see eye to eye when it comes to his sister. Let’s guess. Vanessa wants Joey to accept Heather back into his life. Meanwhile, Joey truly knows his sibling. And he senses she’s not in the DMV for the right reasons. Will Vanessa end up seeing things Joey’s way? A healthy skepticism never hurt anyone.
Andre and Bill Face Off
The drama swirling around Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett), Hayley (Marquita Goings), Dani, and Andre (Sean Freeman) is pure chaos right now. Bill somehow has survived this latest health scare. Hayley was this close to getting on the plane to St. Bart’s, but that plan was thwarted when Bill collapsed.
Dani loudly called Bill her husband rather than her ex-husband. And Andre will probably have something to say about that, but at the same time, he’s worried about a mystery plaguing his own life. The weekly teasers reveal that Bill and Andre come face to face. And the tension will be, unsurprisingly, thick.
Hayley and Caroline Play Mind Games
While Bill and Andre have their tense visit, Hayley and Caroline (Ellie Wang) play each other. Caroline is Bill’s supremely loyal assistant. But she also thought that Hayley was her friend. She has realized, however, that that isn’t the case. Hayley dropped her like a hot potato. And now the two are attempting to outsmart each other, but to what end?
In Other DMV News
Ashley (Jen Jacob) and Grayson (Jordi Vilasuso) worry about a friend in need. This friend could be Naomi (Arielle Prepetit), who’s going through it once again. Forget her BRCA gene status. Or her undercover husband. Or her grandmother’s cancer battle. Naomi’s dad is in the hospital, and that is stressful.
Finally, Smitty’s series of articles on the Red Market plasma ring is getting him serious attention. They are bringing in the clicks. And his editor submitted the series for a press award.
And now there’s word that Smitty (Mike Manning, who’s nominated for a 2026 Daytime Emmy) ponders an interesting opportunity. Hopefully, this opportunity has nothing to do with Heather (Ashley Jones). The Impaler isn’t happy with the investigative reporter. After all, he was the one to get the ball rolling on the investigation.
