Vanessa’s Challenge For Joey
Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) has a challenge for Joey (Jon Lindstrom—who’s move from GH to BTG was perfect). Let’s hope he will rise up to the challenge. After all, Joey would do anything for Vanessa, but there’s always the chance he may have a problem with this matter.
The relationship between Vanessa and Joey is a bit turbulent right now. He tried to give her some space and call things off between them, but she took offense. Of course, this is all happening (with viewers) knowing full well that Joey was behind what happend to Vanessa’s now late husband, Doug (Jason Graham).
And they can’t be too obvious with their relationship because her son, Donnell (Alex Cheeks), is in town and he has an eagle eye. So what does Vanessa ask Joey to do? More importantly, will he take the challenge on like a boss or will he politely decline?
Nicole Apologizes to Anita
After an unpleasant encounter with Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant), Nicole (Daphnee Duplaix) delivers an apology to Anita (Tamara Tunie). This nasty encounter must leave her shaken for a reason.
Nicole has a history of confrontations with Leslie, especially when she found out that her ex-husband, Ted (Keith D. Robinson) slept had an affair with her while they were marriaed. In addition, Leslie is the daughter of a woman that Anita allegedly wronged in the past.
As BTG fans already know, Barbara Mitchell and Anita had a tragic history. They were the founding members of The Articulettes. Anita forced Barbara out of the group, which led to her suicide.
Nicole could realize that her latest encounter with Leslie could cause their family more trouble than it’s worth, leading the need to apologize. Nicole is known for acting irrationally when it comes to Leslie, which is understandable. After all, who wouldn’t act that way around Leslie?

They will end up flirting during their initial conversation. Will Izaiah make Eva forget all about Tomas (Alex Alegria), whom she’s been so desperate to have all to herself? Needles to say, this interaction will have her coming to terms with her feelings.
