The Monday, October 6, the episode of Beyond the Gates featured a rare sighting: Ted and Smitty sitting in a booth, talking. Later, Martin shared a plan with his husband designed to get him back. Will Smitty go along with Martin’s very risky idea?

Key Takeaways:

  • Ted and Smitty have an honest and emotional conversation about faith, trust, and forgiveness.
  • Martin confides that shame kept him from telling Smitty the full truth.
  • A shocking confession and bold plan could change Martin and Smitty’s future.

Father-in-Law to Son-in-Law

It was really nice to see Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Smitty (Mike Manning) connect at Orphey Gene’s, considering we hardly ever see the two interact. We don’t even see Ted and Martin (Brandon Claybon) connect that much. The two had a quality conversation about the lies Ted and Martin told their significant others and how Ted is facing a divorce while Martin and Smitty are still separated.

The best part of their chat had to be when Smitty admitted that the Duprees had been harsh with Ted. Ted countered by telling Smitty that he thinks he has been just as hard on Martin. Smitty said he needed proof or a sign that it was okay to trust Martin again and that trust and his faith in Martin would come flooding back.
