Tuesday's full episode recap of Beyond the Gates is here, and let’s be real—Fairmont Crest is messier than a soap opera convention with an open bar. We’ve got fiery lawsuits, vicious takedowns, sneaky eavesdropping, and a lip-lock we did NOT see coming.

Dani kisses Bill | BTG, CB |
Naomi Takes No Prisoners—Especially Not Bill
Poor Bill thought he could intimidate Naomi’s clients into backing off their lawsuit. Cute, right? Unfortunately for him, Naomi is her mother’s daughter, and she can see through his bluff like a cheap lace curtain. She marches into his office, eyes blazing, and lets him know exactly where things stand: “You thought you won? The game’s still on, Dad.” And just like that, she turns a personal vendetta into a noble crusade.
And as if that weren’t enough, she delivers the ultimate mic drop: “People love Mom, and they hate what you did to her. That’s never changing.” If words could slap, Bill would be picking himself off the floor right now.
Hayley and Chelsea: The Showdown at Orphey Gene’s
It’s no secret that Hayley is about as welcome in Fairmont Crest as a raccoon at a garden party. First, the country club cancels her tennis registration because, well, they’re #TeamDani. Then, she waltzes into Orphey Gene’s and walks straight into Chelsea, who wastes no time dragging her for filth.
“Home-wrecking husband stealer,” Chelsea hisses before telling her to pack her bags and relocate to the farthest corner of the Earth. Hayley is shook—how could Chelsea, of all people, be so blindly loyal to Dani? But Chelsea doesn’t back down. “She’s my mother. And if you had one…” Oof. That one had to sting.
Hayley, however, isn’t done. She flips the script, suggesting that Chelsea’s need for a mother is clouding her judgment, and that maybe—just maybe—Chelsea should consider getting some help. But Chelsea is ready with the ultimate clapback: “What happens between me and my father is none of your… affair. See what I did there?” Chelsea, you ruthless queen.
Dani and Bill’s Cozy Night In—And That Kiss!
Meanwhile, over at Casa Dupree, Dani is deep in an emotional breakthrough, unpacking her baggage like she’s on an episode of Beyond the Therapist’s Couch. Turns out, Chelsea quitting modeling hit harder than she thought—it feels just like getting dumped by Bill all over again. But Dani, ever the drama queen, turns her heartbreak into wisdom: “You didn’t wrong me, babe. You, my brave girl, are helping to set me free.”
That’s all well and good, but let’s get to the part that made us all gasp. Dani, somehow, lets Bill into her house. She miraculously avoids drowning her feelings in booze. And when Bill drops the bomb that Naomi is suing him, Dani? She LAUGHS.
“I’m very proud of my daughter for taking you on,” she smirks. And then, in a moment of pure nostalgic chaos, they reminisce about a night together set to the dulcet tones of—wait for it—Sisqó. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any wilder, the conversation ends with a kiss. A KISS. Somebody pass the smelling salts—I'm about to fall out!
Ashley Checks Andre Like a Library Book
Over at Garland Memorial, Ashley has had it up to here with Andre’s weird behavior. “Even though I’m past it, you’re not,” she snaps, referring to their almost-kiss. Translation: Quit being a weirdo and act normal.

Ashley & Andre | BTG |
She doesn’t care if he cuts her from his documentary—she just wants him to stop acting like a guilty middle-schooler with a crush. And speaking of people who see right through the nonsense, nurse Shanice is there to sprinkle some truth on the situation. “It’s too late for a vaccine against Andre’s charms,” she quips. “The symptoms are already there, and you’ve got it bad.” Girl, tell her something she doesn’t know.
Derek vs. Andre: The Gloves Are Off
Meanwhile, over at Uptown, Derek is getting the wake-up call of a lifetime. Jacob, never one to mince words, lays it all out for him: Andre is not only into Ashley—he’s also making Derek look like a fool. And if that weren’t enough drama for one conversation, Jacob turns his sights on Marcel, calling him out for going easy on him. “I didn’t join the force to be coddled,” he declares, all righteous indignation and simmering resentment.
Marcel hears him loud and clear. Whether that’s a good thing or not? Only time will tell. Follow Soap Opera Reviews for daily spoilers and recaps. We live for the drama!
