The plasma ring bust had a major casualty. Derek lost his life trying to save Jacob and Grayson’s. And now, according to the spoilers for the Thursday, May 28 episode of Beyond the Gates, the fallen hero will be memorialized.
Key Takeaways
- Derek is memorialized after sacrificing his life during the plasma ring bust.
- Dani confronts Bill over his selective memory.
- Ted’s decision involving Nicole could create fresh tension, while Madison clings to hope.
A Fallen Hero Is Remembered and Honored
Last week, Jacob’s plasma ring investigation came to a tragic end when Derek (Ben Gavin) died trying to save his friend’s life. His death was hard for everyone, especially Ashley (Jen Jacob), Naomi (Arielle Prepetit), and Shanice (Ernestine Johnson). It left Grayson (Jordi Vilasuso) feeling immense guilt. And Jacob (Jibre Hordges) has been in detective mode ever since, trying to wrap up the case and ensure the plasma ring goes down for good.
On Thursday, a fallen hero is memorialized. So Derek’s friends, and hopefully the former firefighters he worked with, will gather to remember the man who loved being the hero who ran into burning buildings to rescue those in need. And then he became the general manager, helping run a free clinic that served a community in need. Ultimately, Derek Baldwin went out doing what he does best: saving people.
Dani Schools Bill
Dani (Karla Mosley) is about to school Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) on his selective memory. Whatever the topic, we’re wondering something. It’s just like Bill to remember the good stuff and forget about the negativity or the toxic elements of a situation, especially when he was the one to cause the chaos. But there may be something else going on here. Something out of his control.
After Tuesday’s episode, it’s clear he’s starting to feel the effects of the slow-acting poison Hayley (Marquita Goings) has been secretly slipping into his drinks. His hand shakes, and who knows what else he’s feeling. Maybe he is having actual memory issues, in which case the man needs help sooner rather than later.
Ted Steps Into It With Nicole
Remember when Ted (Keith D. Robinson) told Anita (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon (Clifton Davis) that he thinks Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) should be the new chief of staff of Garland Memorial Hospital? Anita and Vernon tried to caution Ted, telling him that their daughter wasn’t in favor of holding an administrative position. They told him to talk to Nicole before doing anything.
Something tells us he might not have listened to his former in-laws. Because Ted’s vote of confidence in Nicole will apparently rub her the wrong way. Maybe Nicole will come around and see things Ted’s way. Or this will cause more friction between the former husband and wife. Which way is this about to go?
Madison Expresses Her Best-Case Scenario
Madison (Kenjah) has been dealing with the malpractice lawsuit that wouldn’t have happened if her mother hadn’t been careless. And now the neurologist is struggling with the consequences that threaten her career. Apparently, this lawsuit has affected Madison’s entire family.
On Thursday, look for Madison to admit to Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) that she still holds out hope for a reconciliation wth her family.
