Vernon has been acting odd recently on Beyond The Gates. The Dupree patriarch is raising eyebrows with his mysterious phone calls, and this week, he meets with a woman. While many fans are fearing the worst, others think there’s a logical explanation.

Key Takeaways

• Vernon is keeping a secret he doesn’t want his wife Anita to know.
• He’s been making phone calls and plans with a mystery person.
• He meets with a mystery woman, which implies he might be cheating.
• Fans believe there’s another reason for Vernon’s behavior.

Anita’s In For a Shock

For the past few weeks, Vernon (Clifton Davis) has been acting suspiciously. It started with the phone calls to a mystery person, whom Vernon claimed was a golf buddy. Whoever Vernon is talking with, it’s obvious they’re meeting in secret and don’t want Anita (Tamara Tunie) to know.

Vernon’s behavior is raising red flags, and many viewers fear he’s cheating on Anita. This week’s preview does little to squash their fears because Vernon arrives at another woman’s place. Although the woman’s identity isn’t revealed, it looks like Anita’s fellow Articulettes member, Sharon (Bonita Brisker).

While things aren’t looking good for Vernon and Anita’s marriage, fans think there’s a logical explanation. On Reddit, speculation is that the Dupree patriarch is planning a romantic surprise for Anita.

“Pretty sure it’s just a misdirection. Making you think he’s cheating when this is something for Anita since she’s had a hard few months due to the Barbara reveal and Leslie,” wrote one viewer.
