During the October 10, 2025, Beyond the Gates, Eva arranged to meet with Mona and Jan at Orphey Gene’s (it was good to see them both). Her main goal was to persuade her mother’s former friends to talk to Leslie, who was lonely and acting out. However, it was also clear that Eva wanted them to reestablish their friendship with her mom. Were Eva’s pleas successful?

The Orphy Gene’s Summit

Eva (Ambyr Michelle) called Mona (Karan Kendrick) and Jan (Jerri Tubbs) to Orphey Gene’s, hoping she could reconnect them with her mom. She told them how Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) was driving her crazy because she had too much time on her hands. She wanted them to dig deep into their hearts and forgive Leslie despite the fact that her mom used them to get her revenge on Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) and the Duprees.

But now that she has inherited the money, she is spending a great deal of time trying to get in with the Duprees. Eva felt that if she could have real friends, she wouldn’t have to try so hard to fit into a world that doesn’t want her. She told them that her mom wouldn’t listen to her, so she thought maybe they could give it a try.

Mona

Mona wanted nothing to do with Eva’s ideas of forgiveness. What Leslie especially did to her cut too deeply and even tarnished her reputation (in her mind).

While Mona can perhaps forgive Eva, she won’t forget that she was also part of it. And she certainly won’t speak to Leslie and reestablish their friendship. She got up and left the restaurant.

Jan

Jan, on the other hand, liked what Eva had to say about Leslie taking care of Peaches (Arle Michel), and it showed her that maybe Leslie wasn’t all bad. That there was some goodness in her heart, and she agreed to talk to Leslie.
