The upcoming week of Beyond the Gates promises to be flirty and mysterious. The spoilers feature a potential hot new couple, a newly divorced duo looking cozy with each other, and two friends comparing notes about a shady character. Here’s a breakdown of BTG’s video preview for the week of October 20-24

Key Takeaways

Sudden Closeness: Ted and Nicole’s divorce may be final, but their chemistry is anything but over. A heartfelt hug raises eyebrows in Orphey Gene’s.
More Debate: Naomi and Jacob face a painful crossroads — she’s pregnant but doesn’t want children, while he’s thrilled. Can they bridge the gap?
Simple Curiosity: Dani and Vanessa realize the same man goes by two names — Randy and Sammy. Will their curiosity unravel his double life?
New Sparks: Eva meets a charming stranger named Izaiah, unaware he’s connected to a familiar family. Could this be the start of something new?
Sudden Closeness
It’s official. Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) are divorced. “That chapter of our life is closed,” Nicole says to someone, possibly to Ted (who may get a new love interest this holiday season). The two of them suddenly can’t stay away from each other, even though the divorce papers have been signed, sealed, and delivered. This week, they share an intimate hug in the middle of Orphey Gene’s.

More Debate
Meanwhile, Nicole’s niece, Naomi (Arielle Prepetit), and her husband, Jacob (Jibre Hordges), are slipping and sliding towards a separation of their own. “There’s a fundamental difference in what we both want out of life.” A pregnant Naomi doesn’t want children, and Jacob is ecstatic that she’s with child. ” I don’t know where this leaves us,” Naomi continues.

Will they figure out a way to deal with this dilemma? So far, it has been a lot of talking and not a lot of problem-solving.

Simple Curiosity
Elsewhere, Dani (Karla Mosley) and Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) are at Uptown, and they’re both looking at Randy (Maurice P. Kerry) for some reason. Vanessa tells Dani, “Talk about a coincidence. I know him, too. His name is…” And then at the same time, they say different names. Vanessa utters “Randy,” while Dani offers up “Sammy.”
