A leaked preview of Monday’s December 29 episode of Beyond the Gates reveals one of the most emotionally devastating chapters the series has delivered so far. With illness, buried secrets, and forbidden attraction colliding at once, the episode is set to permanently alter multiple relationships—and possibly destroy a family from within.

This is not just another dramatic installment. This episode changes everything.

Anita Depri Returns to the Hospital — The Secret She Can No Longer Hide

At the center of the episode is Anita Depri, whose quiet battle with cancer finally reaches a breaking point. After weeks of denial and emotional isolation, Anita returns to the hospital for urgent treatment, a moment portrayed with raw vulnerability and unflinching realism.

What makes this return so powerful is not just the illness itself—but Anita’s realization that silence is no longer an option.

For weeks, she believed protecting her daughters meant keeping the truth hidden. Now, faced with worsening symptoms and limited time, Anita understands that her secrecy may have caused more harm than protection.

Her hospital admission becomes the emotional fuse that threatens to explode the Depri family.

The Truth Comes Out — And the Fallout Will Be Brutal

Anita prepares to finally tell Nicole and Dany about her diagnosis—and the emotional consequences could not be more different for each daughter.

Dany Depri: Anger, Guilt, and Emotional Whiplash

Dany’s reaction is expected to be explosive. Fiercely loyal and deeply protective, she will likely lash out—not only at Anita, but at herself.

• Why wasn’t she trusted?

• How did she miss the signs?

• Was she too wrapped up in her own life to notice her mother was fading?

Her anger masks overwhelming guilt, and viewers should brace for heated confrontations and painful accusations that cut deep.

Nicole Depri: Silent Grief and Forced Strength

Nicole’s response is quieter—but no less devastating. She internalizes the pain, immediately shifting into caretaker mode while privately unraveling.
Her fear isn’t loud—it’s suffocating.

Nicole’s arc in this episode hints at emotional burnout, as she sacrifices her own needs to keep the family together, raising the question:
Who takes care of the caretaker?

Fairmont Crest Scandal: Lesie and Marcel Cross a Dangerous Line

While the Depri family fights for emotional survival, trouble brews elsewhere.

At Fairmont Crest, Lesie and Marcel’s relationship intensifies, crossing boundaries that should never be crossed. What began as subtle tension now evolves into moments charged with temptation and secrecy.

This storyline is dripping with danger:

• Professional lines blur

• Loyalties weaken

• And one wrong move could destroy reputations and lives

The show strongly hints that someone is watching, and exposure may be closer than either Lesie or Marcel realizes.

Eva and Isaiah: A Romance Built on Secrets

Meanwhile, Eva’s relationship with Isaiah takes a significant emotional step forward—but viewers are warned not to get too comfortable.

Eva feels hopeful, alive, and emotionally open for the first time in a long while. Yet cracks begin to form as subtle clues suggest Isaiah is hiding something major.

Unanswered questions pile up:

• Where did Isaiah really come from?

• What is he running from?

• And why does his past seem ready to surface now?

The episode plants unmistakable seeds that Eva’s happiness may be built on a lie, setting up a devastating betrayal in episodes to come.

Themes of the Episode: Love, Truth, and the Cost of Silence

This December 29 episode weaves together multiple emotional threads into one powerful message:
Secrets do not protect people—they delay the damage.

• Anita learns that hiding the truth nearly costs her family’s trust

• Lesie and Marcel risk everything by indulging desire

• Eva’s faith in love may blind her to warning signs

Every storyline echoes the same haunting question:
 Is it better to tell the truth too late—or never at all?
