Next Week on Beyond the Gates

Country Club Flirting

Hayley (Marquita Goings) seems to be serious about pursuing Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe). She doesn’t care that she’s married. She simply wants to focus on this Izaiah side quest while she slowly takes care of her husband, the prominent DMV attorney. “Izaiah, what can I say?” Hayley spouts when she sees Banneker’s newest academic advisor at the Fairmont Crest Country Club. “I’m a fool for love,” she continues as Izaiah stares at her, probably wondering what this woman’s endgame is.

Employee Review

Meanwhile, Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) is working on his own quest, and it involves catching up with Tomas (Alex Alegria). According to the daily spoilers, Tomas is put on notice regarding his future at the firm. “Loyalty matters to me, Tomas. That’s why I want to talk about your future at the firm.” Is he about to put his employee’s job in jeopardy or give him the promotion that he has been working so hard for? Tomas has no idea – he looks scared to find out.

New Connection

Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) is having a drink when a man spots her and hits on her. Why, it’s none other than Detective Marcel Malone (Darryl W. Handy). “Hello there, pretty lady,” he says. Leslie must like what she sees, even though she immediately guesses he’s a cop. She can read people that way. “Is that a problem?” Malone asks.

The next second, Marcel is sitting at her table, and they begin to get to know each other. However, Ted (Keith D. Robinson) walks in and spots them. Will he act jealous? Or will he go the protective route? After all, he knows that Marcel isn’t totally on the up and up. He was in on those secret Protect Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) At All Costs group meetings they had when they needed to figure out what to do with that bigoted busboy.

Fake Jealousy

Hayley plays the fake jealous wifey when she and Bill are dining together at the club. “You knew that your ex would be here, and you brought me here anyway. Why would you do that?” Hayley inquires. Bill just can’t seem to shake Dani (Karla Mosley) loose.

Impending Disaster

Dani’s not having many problems forgetting Bill right now. She and Andre (Sean Freeman) are living their bliss. They are back from their perfect honeymoon and…well, Dani and Andre do have one problem. There’s a disaster in the kitchen. Smoke is everywhere. “Where’s your fire extinguisher?” Andre urgently asks. “Under the sink,” Dani urgently responds. Cut to Andre using the fire extinguisher to put out whatever fire they had going on. Did they just ruin their Thanksgiving?
