Next week’s Beyond the Gates spoilers focus on the DMV residents celebrating Valentine’s Day. Apparently, the show’s couples will be celebrating the romantic holiday in wildly different ways. This includes Joey ceding control to Vanessa. And Martin’s gift to Smitty backfires.
Meanwhile, Anita’s health issues become apparent in a very public way. Also, look for Tomas to question Hayley. This isn’t a shocking development, because he and Caroline recently had a conversation in which he questioned Hayley about delivering the pro bono documents to Lynette. That seemed fishy to him.
Additionally, he overheard her shady phone call a few weeks ago. And he witnessed Bill and Dani kissing. Tomas somehow manages to put himself in the right place at the wrong times, and it’s totally working for him. But for how much longer will that last, especially if he decides to grill the con artist?
In other news, Ashley’s resourcefulness. upsets Grayson. Chelsea continues to stress over Madison deferring her dream job. Elon schools his son Jacob on the finer points of going deep undercover. And Dani teams up with someone unexpected to battle a common foe.
Finally, on President’s Day (Monday, February 16), BTG rolls out a classic episode, and this is a big one. It features Doug McBride’s death while Vanessa and Joey were in Puerto Rico. It was the soap’s first major death, and Doug’s name is still mentioned, especially with the free clinic that Leslie and Joey are funding. The tragedy originally aired in September 2025.
