The Beyond the Gates spoilers for September 17 tease Andre back in the DMV and in need of opening up. Good thing Vernon is around to urge his son-in-law to do just that. Additionally, Martin and Naomi rally around a panicked Smitty. And Bill is in over his head. Here’s your Thursday preview.

Key Takeaways

  • Vernon encourages Andre to open up after his return from South Korea.
  • Bill struggles as his unexplained health problems leave him feeling increasingly helpless.
  • Martin and Naomi rally around Smitty as he faces a frightening situation.
  • Leslie attempts to extract a confession from Marcel.

Can Vernon Get Andre to Open Up?

Dani (Karla Mosley) and Andre (Sean Freeman) are back from South Korea, and one of the first things that they do is pay a visit to Anita (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon (Clifton Davis). Dani comes bearing gifts for Anita. But Vernon wants to give Andre something — his support.

He wants Andre to bare his soul, so he must sense that there is something going on with Dani’s husband. He would be right. There’s Heather (Ashley Jones). But would he seriously let Vernon in on that issue of his? More than likely, he would talk about Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett). After all, Dani’s ex-husband did play a part in their trip. He caught his wife texting and laughing with Bill.

The question here is whether or not Andre will open up. Vernon and Anita love Andre for Dani, so they will do whatever it takes to ensure their marriage stays peaceful and successful. Because they do not want the alternative. A world where Dani and Bill reunite.

Bill Is Quickly Losing Control

Speaking of Bill Hamilton, the weekly teasers suggest that he is in over his head. While his trust in Hayley (Marquita Goings) has been fading with every question he asks, the problem here may be his fading health. The doctors don’t know what’s wrong with him.

He has tried to ignore the tremors and dizziness. That hasn’t worked for him. What will Bill do next? Bill must feel all kinds of helpless, and that’s not something he is used to feeling.

Smitty Hits a Breaking Point

Smitty (Mike Manning) is in panic mode. Is this because of something Heather (Ashley Jones) put into motion? In Wednesday’s episode, she does do something that stuns him. Whatever is happening, Martin (Brandon Claybon) and Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) feel the need to rally around him.

In BTG’s weekly video preview, it looks like he finds himself being questioned again, this time in a more official capacity. How much trouble is Smitty facing?

Leslie Gets the Truth Out of Marcel

Marcel (Darryl W. Handy) just had to witness Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) confronting Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) over her latest sabotage. Instead of taking the high road, she made sure Shanice’s brothers knew all about Ted’s sordid past.

Those two conversations must have given Marcel some food for thought. When Leslie suddenly has to pull a confession out of him, what will Marcel admit?
