What to Watch Next Week
BTG is coming off a week that featured a major death, a grand social event of the season, and a shock return from the dead. That’s right. Doug (Jason Graham) is back, and on Tuesday, May 26, we finally get to see him interact with one of his children. He has a mission for Deanna (Angela Fairley). What will he want her to do? And where has he been all of this time?
Derek’s friends continue to feel his absence. While Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) continues to support Ashley (Jen Jacob), look for them to remember their friend at a memorial service on Thursday, May 28. Ted (Keith D. Robinson) will likely try to be there for Shanice (Ernestine Johnson), who was a good friend of Derek (Ben Gavin). Their relationship will resolve itself one way or another when Shanice finally gives Ted her answer on their future.
Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) goes into damage-control mode when she fears the plasma ring’s reach could affect her. Maybe that’s why she feels she needs to shore up her alliances, of which she has a precious few. As a result, on Friday, May 29, she insists on making an ally out of Hayley (Marquita Goings). She’s tried before, but let it go. It sounds like this time, she won’t take no for an answer.
And this could happen just as Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) could start feeling the effects of that slow-acting poison Hayley’s been micro-dosing him with. When Joey (Jon Lindstrom) wants Bill to help him contain a potential threat, he notices Bill’s off his game. Operation Kill Bill may be on the table sooner rather than later. How close is Hayley to becoming a black widow?
