Next Week on BTG: June 1-5, 2026
Let’s Talk About Fantasies
Coming up next week on BTG, Anita (Tamara Tunie) and Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) discuss an important topic. Unfortunately, the two women have very different opinions on where the conversation is headed. “Mother, not everything is about sex,” Nicole insists, while Anita calls it as she sees it. “That’s exactly what it’s about, isn’t it?”
Cut to Nicole standing in front of Ted (Keith D. Robinson). “I think it’s time you and I have an honest conversation,” she says. According to the weekly teasers, she comes clean about her recent fantasies about him. How will Ted react to her confession?
Dana Versus Darlene
Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant), Eva (Ambyr Michelle), and the Hawthornes are all gathered together, which can only mean one thing. A clash of the titans between Leslie Dana Thomas and Darlene Hawthorne (Monique Mosee). Just because the women aren’t standing next to each other doesn’t mean there won’t be sparks, conflicts, and insults flying.
“Sure hope you’re being nice to my daughter because I’d hate to have your husband arrest me for beating your ass,” Leslie says. To which Darlene responds, “Try me.” Ruh roh. The family had better keep these two apart.
A Determined and Some May Say, Obsessive Jacob is in the House
Since Derek’s death, Jacob (Jibre Hordges) has been laser-focused on one thing. “I won’t stop until the Imapler and everybody associated with him is behind bars,” he tells Naomi (Arielle Prepetit), who is worried about her husband.
And there’s a chance Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) is referring to Jacob when she confronts Joey (Jon Lindstrom). “He clearly thinks you’re the man behind the red market ring. What are we going to do about it?” she asks. Will Joey take this situation seriously?
Hayley Running Her Con Games
Hayley (Marquita Goings) and Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) are sitting when Hayley feigns concern for her husband, asking him if this hand is okay. She knows that Bill is starting to feel the effects of the slow-acting poison she has been feeding him incessantly.
Bill, ever the charmer, says, “You tell me,” and puts his arm around her. That’s when Hayley suddenly says, “Don’t!” What just happened? And is she hoping to poison him and mess with her husband’s mind, at the same time?
