Beyond the Gates 2-week spoilers for May 19-30, 2025 see Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle) is betraying her awful mom and Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) is making a huge move.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Drama Unfolds May 19th – 23rd
Let’s get started with the action in week one on Monday, May 19th. Poor Dr. Doug McBride (Jason Graham). He is a liar and a gambling addict who has gotten himself into the worst possible spot. And like any addict, he just can’t seem to crawl out of the hole.
He’s refusing to go to meetings when Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) tried to help him. So Joey may reveal the extent of Doug’s addiction and his debt to Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) to get what he wants, which of course we know is laundering money through her realty company.
Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) is fighting and scheming still to get what she wants this week, which of course is Teddy Bear (Maurice Johnson), as she likes to call him. She’s not going to give up. Leslie is also setting up Eva for her crime of running Laura off the road. I don’t even think Eva knows how to drive a motorcycle, but Leslie sure does.
However, Detective Katherine “Kat” Richardson (Colby Muhammad) is on the case. We’ve also got Laura back this week as the investigation into her crash heats up, and we’ll see if she remembers something about what went down. Possibly something about who ran her off the road.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Derek and Ashley Done?
Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) sees Andre more as a boyfriend these days than a casual hookup. But something is going to change for them soon. Something’s changing in her heart. But something is also changing in Andre’s and that’s because Derek Baldwin (Ben Gavin) and Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob) are coming apart at the seams.
Living together is tearing them apart on Beyond the Gates. But if Derek and Ashley can’t cohabitate, that means they’re not meant to be. And that could open a door.
Also this week, Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) and Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) worry about June, who seems really sick with something.
Tuesday May 20th: Unexpected Bonds and Broken Hearts
Tuesday, May 20th, Eva is bonding and getting closer to one of her few allies. So, it’s got to be Ted or Martin Richardson.
Ashley’s heart is breaking over how bad things are with Derek. And this week, Andre is over at Ashley’s place hugging and comforting her. Ashley’s thanking Andre for being a good friend, but we all know he wants more. Meanwhile, Derek is lurking outside the apartment listening and looks none too happy.
Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) has Tracy over to the house. She is one of the Articulletes and Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) is there but is taking heat from the ladies over some flirting that is going down.
Wednesday May 21st: Secrets Explode and Truths Revealed
On Wednesday, May 21st, the Dupri face more drama. When did they not? It’s a crisis per week, it seems. Martin’s secret seems to be set to explode. Hot on the heels of Nicole’s marriage going boom. There’s that mystery guy keeping an eye on Martin. We got to worry that he is tied into the dire events that went down that Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) helped cover up.
Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla) may come out as fluid this week or something more. She’s going to get real with the family about her lifestyle preferences.
Eva has to do something tough where Leslie is concerned. I’m wondering and hoping that Eva will throw her awful mom under the bus and reveal that she’s pretty sure that her mom’s the one who ran Laura off the road. Now, Eva has asked Leslie, but she is a liar, and she never tells anyone the truth.
Ashley and Derek face facts about their relationship, which is imploding, and I have to wonder if they are over and done this week.
Thursday May 22nd: Confrontations and Past Secrets Surface
On Thursday, May 22nd, we’ve got Cat talking things over with her parents. So Nicole, Ted, and Cat are in this conversation, the topic of which is Leslie, and whether she’s going to keep on stirring the pot and making trouble for the family.
The answer is yes. Unless Leslie gets Ted, we may never see her stop. And of course, Ted doesn’t want her. He wants Nicole back in his life.
Eva is pushing back on her delusional mom, Leslie, on Thursday. And I wonder if Eva has any idea that her mom is framing her and tried to tell Cat that she ran Laura off the road.
Tracy and Anita keep talking over at the Dupree mansion about what happened to their girl group back in the day.
Friday May 23rd: Betrayals, Seduction, and Shocking Discoveries
On Friday, May 23rd, Bradley “Smitty” Smith (Mike Manning) has just about had it with Martin keeping secrets and not communicating. Clearly, he’s not told Smitty what happened that night. Martin doesn’t seem to have clear recall of all the events, but he knows enough to keep hiding it from his husband.
Ted goes to see Leslie this week and confronts her while she is trying to seduce him. Leslie wants him in her bed, but Teddy Bear rejects her and makes an accusation likely about Laura’s crash. Ted may push Leslie beyond reason, and then there’s no telling what she does.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Joey Flirts with Vanessa
Joey is flirting quite openly with Vanessa at Orphe Jeans this week and things spark with some blatantly steamy banter between Vanessa and Joey. But then Doug wanders in and sees them together and lightning finally strikes.
His brain has been so addled by his gambling addiction that he did not notice Joey circling Vanessa like the shark that he is. And now all of a sudden Doug finally realizes, “Oh, Joey was playing me all along.” But it’s pretty much too late.
Tracy opens up to Anita about the feelings of her and the other girls in the group when she went solo and ruined their friendship by betraying them.
Beyond the Gates Week 2: Leslie’s Dangerous Plan and More Fallout (May 26th – 30th)
Week two, May 26th through the 30th on Beyond the Gates. We’ve got Leslie getting increasingly desperate as her bid to frame Eva for Laura’s crash is less than successful. And if it finally gets into that delusional cray cray brain of hers that Ted will never be her man, Leslie might get even more dangerous, which is kind of a scary proposition considering how deadly she already is. Cat may not like Eva or want her as a sister, but Leslie is the bigger problem and a problem for both of them.
Week 2 Character Updates: Relationships, Reunions, and Reveals
Meanwhile, Eva keeps making inroads with certain family members, and it could be Martin who’s the key to push the Dupri to see her as more than a scheming interloper and family enemy.
Chelsea deals with reactions to the reveal about her personal life. Obviously, Martin’s going to be cool, but everybody else, that remains to be seen. Hopefully, Dani will handle it well.
Will Vernon get his dream of seeing the Articulletes reunite? If Anita can win over Tracy, she might turn around and advocate to the other ladies to at least hear Anita out. Obviously, she owes some apologies to the other girls.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Andre Steps Away?
Ashley and Derek’s relationship was hanging by a thread. And if it snaps, it may take another relationship with it. Don’t forget, Andre is really into Ashley.
And he was just doing the casual hookup thing with Dani because he felt like he didn’t have a shot with Ashley and his surrogate mom Nicole said leave Ashley alone.
But if she truly is alone, Andre may take a step away from Dani, leave her in his rear view and run to comfort her. And if Andre walks out on what he thinks is just this casual fling thing, will Dani come unhinged?
Ted keeps trying to win Nicole back, but Leslie’s ongoing scheming is an ongoing issue. Eva and Ted keep bonding, making up for lost time. And will Vanessa freak out when she hears what Joey has planned for her and how deep Doug is in with this thug?
