It’s Mission: Save Smitty for Martin and Naomi
On Monday, Max (Cris Ruiz) called Smitty (Mike Manning, who’s BTG’s Performer of the Month for October 2026) on his burner phone. Smitty was able to tell Max about The Impaler doing their best to frame him. Smitty said he needed Max’s help to clear up this whole fake video business, because Max sliding Smitty a pouch full of pills to give to Lia Whitmore (Cecelia Specht) never happened.
Unfortunately, Max refused to testify or come anywhere near the DMV for fear of retribution or arrest. But the bells that Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) heard when Smitty played her Martin’s recording clued her in to Max’s whereabouts. She knew where in Mexico he likely was hiding out. And Martin (Brandon Claybon) and Naomi decided to go track down Max together.
So on Thursday, Martin’s a man on a mission, with Naomi by his side. Will they successfully find Max and get him to sign an affidavit that will help clear Smitty?
Dani’s Determined to Stay the Course, but Andre May Surprisingly Have Other Ideas
The weekly teasers suggest that Dani (Karla Mosley) keeps her eye on the prize, while Andre (Sean Freeman) shows surprising compassion. The biggest obstacle to Dani and Andre’s marriage is Bill. Heather (Ashley Jones) is the second, for now. After all, Dani’s unaware of Heather’s game. But she will eventually learn.
Anyway, Dani’s determined to adhere to the boundaries she’s set up between her and Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett). It hurts Andre too much when she rides to her ex-husband’s rescue or is there to support him. But if Andre shows unexpected compassion, he may understand and even encourage Dani to go to Bill, who’s going through one of the worst times of his life.
Chelsea and Kat Turn to Bill as Kat and Tomas Face Possible Trouble
Bill is finding it hard to escape his drama with Hayley (Marquita Goings). He’s the baby’s father. Just like Hayley told him. He’s already trashed a room in his house and asked Caroline (Ellie Wang) to hire a cleaning service. Anything to get Hayley’s essence out of his house. He said to fumigate if necessary.
He needs to be distracted. He has already been burying himself in work. Maybe that’s what Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Kat (Colby Nixon) try to do when they come to Bill for help. Chelsea saw how distraught her dad was. So she’ll do anything to help him get through this.
What’s perplexing here is the fact that the teasers also say that Tomas (Alex Alegria) leaves his lover spurned. This means Kat and Tomas could very well be out of sync with each other. It’s a place they should be familiar with. It has been a minute since we’ve seen the two together. What’s going on between them now?
Hayley Sees Right Through Leslie’s Act
In Leslie’s mind, she and Hayley are cut from the same cloth. But Hayley has been resisting bestie status with Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) since before Leslie bailed her out of jail. But they have had their moments. It’s a shaky alliance at best. And on Thursday, look for a skeptical Hayley to take center stage. Because she’s not buying whatever Leslie’s selling.
