Key Takeaways
- Vernon devises a plan to unite the Duprees as Martin’s re-election approaches.
- Smitty worries he’s holding Martin back, while Tyrell enjoys some unexpected attention.
- Bill makes demands of Hayley, leaving Naomi and Chelsea anxious, while Andre expresses gratitude to Dani.
Vernon Takes Steps to Unite the Dupree Family
Vernon (Clifton Davis) is the perfect patriarch. He knows when to hype up his family with uplifting speeches. And he knows when to gather them for support.
There’s an election this week. Unfortunately, Martin’s (Brandon Claybon) campaign has been tainted with the scandal surrounding Smitty (Mike Manning). But the investigative reporter is innocent. And the family — other than maybe Jacob (Jibre Hordges) — believes in his innocence 100%.
That could be why Vernon has an idea to bring the family together. With Anita (Tamara Tunie, who recently took part in a wonderful Daytime Emmys tradition) heading back into the studio, and Hayley’s pregnancy rocking the family to its core, this is probably a good time for some support and unity.
The Richardson Smiths Are Feeling Emotional in Expected and Unexpected Ways
With the election imminent, Smitty is back to worrying that the chaos and drama in his life will negatively affect his husband. He does not want to be responsible for Martin losing his bid for re-election. While Smitty recently took a step forward and joined his husband at a political event. Ultimately, he can’t drown all the negative thoughts. He fears he’s holding Martin back.
Just as Smitty works on his own issues, his son may be having an unexpected reaction to the intense scrutiny his family is getting. Tyrell (Jaden Lucas Miller) is soaking up the attention. Or does this teaser mean that he’s soaking up the attention that he’s getting from the two women in his life? Has he not worked out the Chessy (Madison Alsobrook)-Jessica (Camryn Jade) situation yet?
The Hamiltons Are Also Feeling Their Feelings, and We’re Not Judging
Hayley’s (Marquita Goings) pregnancy has three of the Hamiltons reacting in their own special ways. Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) tries to keep a semblance of control in this crazy situation. He makes demands that Hayley’s happy to meet. He has no idea of her endgame here. And it doesn’t involve her taking care of a kid.
Meanwhile, Hayley’s current status has Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) and Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) feeling anxious. Neither sister is good when they’re feeling anxious. What are they about to do?
What Did Dani Do to Earn Andre’s Gratitude?
The weekly teasers reveal that Andre (Sean Freeman) expresses his gratitude to Dani (Karla Mosley). Their marriage has been dicey as of late, but they seem back on solid ground. Maybe he’s thankful that, with the drama surrounding Bill, Dani is keeping her boundaries intact and she’s not letting herself get pulled into Bill’s orbit again.
