Next on Beyond the Gates
Lies, Lies, Lies, Yeah
Randy (Maurice P. Kerry) is already on thin ice with Joey (Jon Lindstrom), having failed spectacularly at previous orders, then hiding out until the smoke cleared. More recently, Randy lied and told Joey that his association with Bill Hamilton’s bride, Hayley (Marquita Goings), was of a sexual nature. When Hayley found out, she first threw up a little in her mouth. And then she forced Randy to go to Joey and change his story.
That’s when he told his boss about taking Hayley to the hospital when she miscarried the baby. Weekly teasers reveal that Joey catches Randy in a lie and demands answers. What did Joey dig up, and how will Randy get himself out of this one?
Placation Station
Speaking of tight spots, Anita (Tamara Tunie) finds herself in one, and, of course, it has to do with Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant). Thanks to Anita setting up that trust, Leslie is spending the money from the trust freely. The woman isn’t holding back. Let’s reflect on the woman’s bigger ticket purchases:
- She tore down the mansion she bought across the street from Anita and Vernon’s place and is rebuilding one from scratch.
- Leslie donated money for a new wing at the Fairmont Crest Country Club.
- And she bought her daughter and Peaches (Arle Michel) places to live.
- Recently, Leslie paid for the surgery for someone in need.
- On a smaller scale, she regularly enjoys retail therapy and eating at the country club when she doesn’t want to eat at Orphey Gene’s. Plus, she’s paying for that hotel room she lives in.
In addition, Leslie isn’t afraid to ask Anita to tell her about Barbara, the original Articulette who was Leslie’s biological mother. So why is Anita forced to placate Leslie once again? Is this about the upcoming Winter Fest that Anita is planning?
Double Date Delight or Disaster?
On Friday, look for Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) to think about Doug (Jason Graham), which spurs her to help out a friend. And in other news, there’s a double dinner date that has a good chance of being hella awkward on multiple levels.
Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) and Jacob (Jibre Hordges) discover something startling during their dinner date with Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Hayley. Naomi wants her parents to be happy, which is why she is suddenly (and mostly) accepting Dani (Karla Mosley) and Andre (Sean Freeman). And while it’s hard to do the same with Bill and Hayley, she’s giving it an effort. But what is it that she and Jacob start to notice, and what will they do about it?
