Key Takeaways
- Naomi lashes out at her inner circle.
- Anita struggles under overwhelming pressure, while Vernon has a clandestine meeting.
- Eva informs Leslie of a development involving Ted.
- Derek seeks Shanice’s assistance, who delivers him a dose of reality.
Naomi Loses Her Cool
On Monday, Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) takes her frustrations out on those closest to her. She had a pregnancy scare, which had her rethinking her future with Jacob (Jibre Hordges), who was excited about the news.
The potential pregnancy caused the two to realize they are on different planets when it comes to having children. Naomi ultimately expressed that nothing will convince her to become a mother at this time. So far, her relationship with her husband hasn’t been the same.
And ever since, her emotions have been volatile. The stress of this unwanted pregnancy apparently continues into next week. It sounds like she could lash out at those she loves, including Jacob.
Anita’s Overwhelmed and Vernon’s Keeping Secrets
Anita (Tamara Tunie) is completely overwhelmed, while Vernon (Clifton Davis) has a secret rendezvous. In Friday’s episode, Anita began planning her annual Winter Fest charity event, which will occupy a significant portion of her time for the foreseeable future.
She decided to donate Winter Fest proceeds to people in the music industry dealing with mental health issues, much like Barbara, one of the original Articulettes.
In addition to planning the big party, Anita has one daughter dealing with a difficult divorce. Another daughter who surprised everyone with a crazy, impromptu wedding. And, of course, her grandson Martin’s (Brandon Claybon) family is really going through a rough time with Samantha (Najah Jackson) right now.
Add the fact that Vernon is keeping secrets, and her feelings of being overwhelmed are understandable. Meanwhile, the weekly teasers reveal that Vernon has a secret meeting with someone. In the preview for next week, we find out it’s a woman. No wonder BTG fans are worried that Vernon is cheating on Anita.
Eva Delivers Critical Ted Update to Leslie
Eva (Ambyr Michelle) has a major update for Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) regarding Ted (Keith D. Robinson). This could be due to the fact that Ted just asked Eva to call him ‘dad’.
If this is the case, it’s not that much of an update because Leslie already knows. She and Ted are apparently friends now, and Leslie has already made it her business to visit Ted after his breakfast with Eva. Leslie was deeply touched when Ted told her the ‘dad’ news.
Derek Faces Reality Check From Shanice
Derek (Ben Gavin) asks Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) for a favor, but gets a reality check instead. Since Shanice is Derek’s physical therapist, this request could be related to Derek’s injury.
Derek has been regaining sensation and movement in his legs. However, he has been hiding this progress from Ashley (Jen Jacobs), and only a couple of key people know the truth.
Shanice might refuse Derek’s latest favor and deliver him the cold, hard truth. Shanice has been known to do that on occasion.
