Key Takeaways
- Vernon stands by Anita as she struggles with the effects of chemo on her voice.
- Smitty grows increasingly suspicious about Lia’s death and The Impaler’s possible involvement.
- Deanna’s grief resurfaces as the vision of her late father pushes her toward payback.
- Leslie gets an interesting proposition, while one couple finds time for romance, and Joey comforts Vanessa.
Vernon Refuses to Let Anita Face Her Current Crisis Alone
If Vernon (Clifton Davis) is supporting Anita (Tamara Tunie) as she faces the music, this might have to do with her current struggles. Anita’s voice has seen better days. And it’s all because of the treatment she had to undergo for cancer.
The effects of the chemo have been harmful to her vocal cords. And she’s working hard to get back to her Anita Williams-level of greatness. She had to tell her fellow Articulettes that she couldn’t get up on stage for Jazz Fest, which is in town.
But in BTG’s weekly preview, it looks like Anita deals with a situation that requires a desperate solution. In fact, she calls Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant), and according to the teasers, Leslie gets an intriguing proposition. What will Anita ask her to do?
Smitty’s Growing Suspicions Put Him on High Alert
There’s no way Smitty (Mike Manning) thinks Lia Whitmore (Cecelia Specht) took her own life. He talked to her the day before, and so he should know better than anyone what her state of mind was before she died.
When his suspicions spiral, the investigative reporter could put two and two together. That The Impaler was responsible, and that person may be in the DMV right now. What conclusions is Smitty about to make?
Comfort and Grief
While one couple finally finds time for romance, Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) gets comfort from Joey (Jon Lindstrom). Meanwhile, Deanna (Angela Fairley) is haunted by her grief. It’s September, which means it’s the month when her father died tragically.
She still hasn’t managed to break up her mom and Joey. But it does mean that we are in for another conversation between Deanna and “Doug (Jason Graham).” In the video preview, Noah (Nick Hagelin) catches her as she’s chatting with the air after her late father tells her that “payback is long overdue.” Noah wants to know who she was talking to. How will Deanna respond?
