The drama is served sizzling on Monday's Beyond the Gates. Eva is back at it, Tomás is playing with fire, and Joey? Well, let’s just say Vanessa never saw him coming. This full episode recap of BTG is packed with all the scheming, flirting, and backstabbing you love.
Eva Tries to Sink Her Claws Into Tomás

Eva clearly didn’t get the memo that “casual” doesn’t mean “please, ruin my life.” But that’s not stopping her from trying to turn Tomás against Kat. Spotting him at Garland Memorial Hospital, she fakes a knee injury just to get some one-on-one time with the hottest lawyer in town. (We see you, girl, but try harder.)
Tomás, playing the nice guy, explains that things between him and Kat are casual—though he’s starting to wonder why Eva keeps grilling him like he’s on trial. That’s when he drops the million-dollar question: “Did she say something to scare you away from me?” Oh, Tomás. Sweet summer child.

Right on cue, Kat calls, conveniently inviting him to Orphey Jean’s for a “friendly” lunch, aka an interrogation in disguise. She gets straight to the point, asking if he’s keeping his distance because she’s still a virgin. Tomás denies it—and proves his affections with a little post-meal PDA. The jury’s out on whether that convinces Kat, but Chelsea certainly wants to know all the details later. Kat admits that while she’s committed to waiting for true love, Tomás is seriously making her question everything. And honestly? We don’t blame her one bit.
Joey Makes His Move on Vanessa—And Doug Is Powerless to Stop It
As always, the McBrides are in more trouble than they even realize. After a seemingly normal dinner at Orphey Jean’s, Vanessa and Doug are rudely interrupted by Joey, who emerges from the shadows like a villain in a bad noir film. He’s got his sights set on Vanessa—and more importantly, her fortune.

He sidles up with a “friendly” request for help finding his dear mother her dream home. But let’s be real, Joey’s not house hunting. He’s maneuvering himself straight into Vanessa’s good graces, and poor Doug knows it. Unfortunately, since Doug can’t exactly admit to his wife that he’s drowning in gambling debt, he’s forced to watch in silence as Joey charms his way in.
But Joey’s got more than one trick up his sleeve. He makes sure Doug keeps digging his own grave at the casino, instructing Randy to let Doug win just enough to keep him hooked. “Tomorrow, he loses his shirt,” Joey smirks. Ruthless. And just when you think Vanessa is done for the night, Diego materializes out of nowhere with some choice words about her new friendship. “Going from robbing the cradle to robbing the grave?” Ouch. Savage, but fair.
Jacob’s Partner? Yeah, He’s Definitely Shady
Over at the precinct, Jacob is struggling with his conscience—or at least, what’s left of it. He confides in his father, Elon, about his growing suspicions regarding his partner, Marcel, and his connection to Joey. But instead of offering any real advice, Elon just tells him to keep his head down and pretend everything is fine. Spoiler alert: Everything is not fine.
Elon then confronts Marcel directly, and it’s clear this isn’t their first shady business chat. Whatever history they have, it’s messy. And things get even worse when Marcel calls Joey to warn him to be more discreet. “That’s what I pay you for,” Joey sneers. “Handle it.” At this point, is there anyone in this town who isn’t secretly working for Joey? Asking for a friend.
Anita Serves Bars—and Some Hard Truths
Meanwhile, Naomi is busy debating whether taking on a sexual harassment case against her own father is the right move. She turns to the ultimate source of wisdom: her grandmother, Anita. And while Anita ultimately lets Naomi make her own choice, she reminds her of one crucial thing: Dupree women don’t back down from a challenge. Ever.

And just when you think the scene is over, Anita drops a bombshell—a rap battle. Yes, you read that right. Granny proves she’s got flow, while Naomi quickly learns she should probably stick to her day job. Better luck next time, kid.
See you next time for another juicy BTG recap—because you know this drama isn’t over yet.
