Next on Beyond the Gates

On Tuesday, it’s time for cousins Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Kat (Colby Muhammad) to commiserate as they discuss their rocky romantic relationships. Chelsea and Madison (Kenjah) are not doing well because of Chelsea’s need to do something about her girlfriend and her strained relationship with her mom.

Rocky Relationship #1: Chelsea and Madison

Chelsea doesn’t understand why Madison can’t get along with her mother. It’s somewhat odd how she can’t grasp the fact that Madison and her mom’s vibes and views are complete opposites. And that Madison is made to feel less than because of her mom’s opinions. Madison wants a supporter, not a meddler, and she’s made that known to Chelsea.

Rocky Relationship #2: Kat and Tomas

Meanwhile, the last thing Tomas (Alex Alegria) did was ask Kat to move in with him. Their journey to this point has been bumpy. He slept with Eva (Ambyr Michelle), for heaven’s sakes. He has taken Eva’s side numerous times, and only now is he seeing things from Kat’s perspective regarding her relationship with her half-sister.

Their sex life hasn’t been what you’d call smooth or in sync. But are they even ready for this step? Is this what Kat discusses with Chelsea?

Rocky Relationship #3: Joey and Vanessa

Meanwhile, Joey (Jon Lindstrom) and Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) aren’t in a great place. They butted heads when Vanessa wanted to take Joey to WinterFest, and he surprisingly didn’t think it was a good idea. Look for Joey and Vanessa to continue to clash over their relationship.

Rocky Relationship #4: Vernon and Anita
Elsewhere, the weekly spoilers reveal something about Vernon’s secretive call, which leaves him smiling. Before WinterFest, Sharon (Bonita Brisker) looked like she was majorly crushing on Vernon (Clifton Davis). Therefore, the call must be between Vernon and Sharon. But we’re not convinced that it’s anything salacious or scandalous, and that we will see what’s really going on between them by Christmas.

Vernon and Anita (Tamara Tunie) may experience a tiny bit of turbulence over this, but it will be temporary. That’s the story we’re sticking to.

Rocky Relationship #5: Bill and Hayley
Finally, the rockiest relationship that gets a focus on Tuesday is Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Hayley’s. First, Anita reluctantly shows Bill some grace. Anita knows how much Bill hurt her daughter. But she also knows that he has been the family’s fixer. He was also set to help out at WinterFest.

Maybe Anita feels that it’s time she put her animosity for the man behind her. If this is the case, then Bill had better hold on to this because he’s going to need the Duprees sooner rather than later.

After all, Hayley (Marquita Goings) is trying to poison her husband. But something must happen. Hayley suddenly worries her husband’s bloodwork could reveal her deadly scheme. Why is she worrying already? Does Bill’s collapse, as seen in BTG’s weekly video preview, happen? Hayley had better pray to the black widow gods that his bloodwork results don’t ruin things for her.
