00:04Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:06OMG, I saw the looks between you and Grayson
00:10He told you I have the brocca jean
00:12He did
00:14Come here baby
00:15That woman will always come first for my husband, won't she?
00:18Next time I come home and find you in my wife's bedroom offering comfort
00:22But we're gonna have a serious problem
00:25That cannot be good
00:27No
00:27I'm afraid it probably isn't
00:30I don't have the cancer gene variant
00:32What? That's amazing
00:34Yeah, I'm ready
00:35I'll check
00:38Well
00:40All good
00:44To the women of the hour
00:45Chelsea and Naomi
00:47To Chelsea and Naomi
00:52Cheers
00:56Excellent toast, Jacob
00:57And now if you'll all excuse me
00:59I need to touch base with Nicole
01:00To let her know that Naomi's results
01:02Are absolutely
01:04Solidly confirmed
01:06And why don't we order another bottle of bubbly
01:08I think we can all afford to have a little extra today
01:10That sounds good mom
01:11I think we've all earned an extra round
01:13All right
01:15I'm so glad we beat the odds
01:17Me too
01:21This has been a day and a half already, hasn't it?
01:25So much stress waiting for the test results
01:28Yeah, I can't argue with that
01:29Well, I'm going to take you home
01:33And make a nice big cup of tea
01:36With my secret ingredient
01:38Mmm
01:39Secret ingredient, huh?
01:41What's that?
01:43Love, sweetheart
01:44All my luscious, big, extra juicy love
01:50So, why don't we go ahead
01:52But, um
01:52I think I'm going to stick around a little longer
01:56For the girls
02:00Of course
02:02For the girls
02:07I feel you
02:10I haven't said anything for you to feel
02:13I'm fluent in your exhales, Dani
02:16That was your
02:17Thank God my babies are okay exhale
02:21Used to hear it all the time
02:22When the girls were teenagers
02:23Or when they were out after curfew
02:24You nailed it
02:27I feel like I can breathe again
02:29And I am so grateful that our daughters are healthy
02:32And don't have to carry the uncertainty
02:34Of having that darn brocca gene any longer
02:36Yeah
02:38I wholeheartedly agree with you on that
02:40But now you can focus on keeping yourself healthy, Dani
02:43And you know that
02:44Whatever you need
02:46To do that, I'm here for you, right?
02:49That goes for me as well
02:52We may have had our differences in the past
02:54But
02:56We're all family now
02:57And
02:58That means we have to pull together
03:02Hmm
03:27Hmm
03:36Oh, hi, Dre.
03:40I always love bumping into you.
03:42Yeah, same.
03:43Oh, I was just texting Danny to let her know
03:45that I'm on my way to the club.
03:47I guess you're headed that way, too.
03:49Actually, I am letting the Hamilton Contingent
03:52have their gathering.
03:54Ah, but Danny didn't text you.
03:56About Naomi testing negative, yes.
03:59That is such a huge relief.
04:02So where are you headed to in such a hurry?
04:04I was just texting Vanessa when I bumped into you,
04:07just letting her know that I wasn't standing her up.
04:09Ah, I hear being stood up is a drag.
04:11I haven't been single long enough to be stood up.
04:14Exactly.
04:16But recently I did have to scramble for a date.
04:19Oh.
04:21And how did that turn out?
04:23It was...
04:25unexpected.
04:27Okay, let's review the imaging
04:29because the fracture lines
04:30looked a little bit more distal than I expected.
04:33I called food services 15 minutes ago
04:35to come clean up this tray of ice cream.
04:38You need to send someone
04:39to come take this off my counter now.
04:42Why?
04:44Oh, you chose a wrong day to come for me.
05:03I sent sexy texts to my boo all the time.
05:10I wasn't aware that I had all that going on.
05:14Oh, yeah, I do.
05:16Since I ran into you,
05:17I have to tell you I'm blown away
05:19about Joey's gesture regarding the clinic.
05:22So am I.
05:23I mean, he's been pouring all that moolah
05:26to help that Phoenix Street community.
05:29And that will be for years to come.
05:31I wasn't talking about the money.
05:33I was talking about how Joey's honoring my late husband
05:36by dedicating the clinic to him.
05:39My clinic?
05:41Is that so?
05:53You might want to rethink that partnership.
05:56Armstrong isn't someone you want to cross.
06:00Just can't stay out of my private stash, can you?
06:04Let's just say I'm keeping it on brand.
06:08I thought I made it clear
06:10that I will not be hands-on at the clinic.
06:13Yeah, I got the message.
06:15Then there's no reason for you to be here
06:18drinking my booze.
06:21Hmm.
06:22Except I just heard from your little gun mall Bertie.
06:25I don't like anyone giving Vanessa nicknames.
06:29For Mrs. McBride, I'll make an exception.
06:33I appreciate your flexibility.
06:36You know, I am more than willing to be flexible
06:39when it comes to Vanessa's name.
06:41Her husband's name on my clinic, however.
06:45Now, see, that is a whole other story.
06:49What's cooking, Shanice?
06:52Hey.
06:53You good that day?
06:56It's been a roller coaster.
06:58You got some moody patients?
07:00Hmm.
07:00Moody me.
07:01Are these up for grabs?
07:04Sure.
07:05Take them all.
07:06You're just sitting there, mocking me.
07:08Mm-hmm.
07:10I get it.
07:11I have a hard time resisting sweets, too.
07:14So have you seen, uh, Dr. Dupree?
07:17Nicole?
07:19No.
07:19I haven't seen her all day.
07:22Did Chelsea and Naomi get tested?
07:24Yes.
07:25And thank goodness they both are negative.
07:28Hallelujah.
07:29Danny must be incredibly relieved.
07:31I know how difficult it is watching your kids go through hard times,
07:35even kids who are adults.
07:37And kids who aren't quite.
07:41Deanna's still struggling with Doug's death?
07:43Yes.
07:44The only thing she doesn't want to do is come home to visit her mother.
07:48Her reaction is perfectly normal.
07:51Your house has so many reminders of her dad.
07:55Reminders that could be triggering for her in a way she's protecting herself.
08:00I offered to sell the house and the kids didn't want that.
08:03It's frustrating.
08:04I just feel like I should be doing more.
08:07You text her every day, right?
08:08Yes.
08:09And we video chat.
08:10So you are doing everything you can with an almost adult.
08:14Doesn't feel like it.
08:16Trust me.
08:17You are walking a fine parental line.
08:20Big present for your daughter while respecting her independence and decision making.
08:25Well, at least Donnell's at Banneker with her and Deanna's seeing a therapist.
08:30Good.
08:31That's important.
08:32The only thing she doesn't want to do is spend time with her mother.
08:35That is not a reflection on you.
08:37You are a great mom.
08:40Deanna will come home one day.
08:42When I'm old and gray?
08:44It might sound counterintuitive, but your relationship with Deanna will get stronger because you gave her space.
08:51Easier said than done.
08:52I know.
08:53Even Danny was able to learn the lesson when it came to allowing Chelsea to end her career.
09:00And that's when I realized we weren't just dealing with random teenage girls.
09:04Uh-huh.
09:07Okay.
09:08Not one word I've said has landed with either of you, has it?
09:11I heard you.
09:12You said, um, many words.
09:15I'm sorry, baby.
09:16I checked out.
09:17But I swear, I love hearing your work stories.
09:19It's fine.
09:20I get it.
09:21Both of you must feel some type of way celebrating while Danny's still facing the unknown.
09:25Mom's a trooper.
09:26She can handle anything the universe throws at her.
09:29Well, I don't know if I can handle the boredom that I feel.
09:32Well, okay, excuse me, Miss Thrillseeker.
09:35You know, maybe Mom and Haley will liven things up by going on a few rounds.
09:40Thank you for all of your support, Haley.
09:42I know how worried Bill's been about all of his girls, and, uh, it's good to know that we can
09:47still count on him to be our rock.
09:48And that's never going to change.
09:51Will your husband be joining the celebration?
09:55Here he is now.
09:57Hi.
10:09So, why are you three at the bar when the guests of honor are over there?
10:13I certainly can't speak for the terrible twosomes motives, but I came over to the bar to order another bottle
10:20of champagne for the celebration.
10:22Understood.
10:23Oh, and I grabbed your favorite caffeine fix treats just for you.
10:28Oh, Andre, that is so thoughtful.
10:30I really appreciate that.
10:32And I appreciate your appreciation.
10:37Uh, excuse me, I need to make a call.
10:43Bill!
10:44Bill!
10:45Wait!
10:48Damn, was it my cologne?
10:49If it is, let's bottle it and bathe in it daily.
10:55Well, I guess I'm not getting my bar brawl, but I must say, seeing Mom laughing and in love is
11:01a hell of a lot better.
11:02I won't argue with you on that.
11:04I can't believe I'm saying this, but I want to be like Mom.
11:09I'm sorry.
11:10Who are you and what did you do with my sister?
11:12You know, the girl who spent many years trying to get away from her?
11:16I mean, she's not caught on being a carrier.
11:20She's living life in the now.
11:23That's tough, and she's nailing it.
11:27And you're so impressed you're looking for something else to do?
11:31Well, there's gotta be something poppin' that's better than this.
11:34No offense.
11:35If I find some place, do you want to join me?
11:38Um, I don't want to ditch Mom and Dad.
11:41Okay.
11:42Well, I'll go see what the parentals are up to and what's taken them so long to get over here.
11:46Okay.
11:52I'm fine.
11:54You don't have to keep asking me if I'm okay.
11:57Now that I know the test results, I'm better than okay.
12:00I know what my future looks like, and I can face it head on.
12:04Okay, fine.
12:05No more feeling questions tonight.
12:07Okay.
12:08But know this.
12:10I will never stop checking in with my wife.
12:16Those offending ice cream cups have been taken care of.
12:19Now, I refuse to believe you ate all of those.
12:21That's the kind of guy I am.
12:23Always willing to take one for Team Shanice.
12:26Okay, I only ate one.
12:28And then, uh, you know, the food services, they took the rest of them.
12:32Uh-huh.
12:34But I was hoping that my willingness to do a solid for you, I can ask a favor.
12:39Yeah, I suppose it is.
12:41I was hoping you could give me some intel on one of the docs here.
12:45Ah, Dr. Nicole Dupree.
12:48I've got enough info on Nicole.
12:49We had, uh, quite the get-to-know-you session after the Winterfest date.
12:54Oh, really?
12:55Do spill that tea, Kyle.
12:57I never neck massage in the office until.
13:00Oh, la-la.
13:03But honestly, I would like to get some information about one of the doctors I'm consulting with today.
13:07He's got a great professional rep, but...
13:10Does this doctor have a name?
13:13Uh, Fitzgerald.
13:16Carlton Fitzgerald.
13:17Yeah, that's the one, you know him?
13:18What's up with the look?
13:20Is he an ass or something?
13:22No, not at all.
13:23Well, you two just have something in common.
13:26Nurse Johnson.
13:28Dr. Fitzgerald.
13:30And you are the orthopedic surgeon I'm meeting for a consultation.
13:33I am.
13:35Uh, Dr. Rollins.
13:36Kyle Rollins.
13:36All right, you ready to dive in?
13:37Always.
13:38Let's do it.
13:40Have fun, you two.
13:43It's about to get real awkward around here.
13:47You're still thinking about you and me going on a double date.
13:50When I have a great idea, I do not let it go, my friend.
13:54So, will Carlton be joining us or someone else?
13:59I do not know who you could possibly meet.
14:02Your new paramour, the one from Winterfest.
14:06Kyle will not be joining on the double date.
14:09Carlton is still my plus one.
14:11Kyle was a fun distraction.
14:14I am all for fun distractions.
14:17But I think Carlton is smitten with you and seems like a very loyal man.
14:23He is attentive.
14:26And I enjoy his company.
14:29But?
14:30He wants more.
14:32And he has for a long time.
14:34I'm not sure I am ready to dive into something as serious as he would like yet.
14:40Well, since you are playing the field, I can think of several men who would be more than willing to
14:48show you attention.
14:52Now that the location is secured, the clinic's name game is a done deal.
15:02Bill, it's going to be called the Phoenix Street Free Clinic.
15:05And there will be a plaque outside that reads,
15:08In Memory of Dr. Doug McBride.
15:11That is final and irreversible.
15:13Bill Hamilton is writing up the contract.
15:15Oh, you know Bill, don't you?
15:18Bill's writing up the contracts.
15:20And I expect you to sign them without a fight.
15:24You overplayed your hand when you got involved with Satan's cousin.
15:28And I'm not signing squat from the law offices of Bill Hamilton, Esquire.
15:36Well, the bravado never stops.
15:38It's entertaining, but I'm busy, so.
15:46What's that?
15:48You're going to keep me in suspense?
15:50Oh, that?
15:52That's my ace in the hole.
16:00Hmm.
16:04Bravo.
16:05Joey Armstrong.
16:06Nice reveal.
16:07And you know, I am a big fan of theatrics, but I have notes.
16:12Notes?
16:13Notes on how I'm blackmailing you.
16:16Well, I've got to admit, that's a first.
16:18Try a public setting next time.
16:21no no that's your style oh that didn't go so well for you last time though did it
16:27no contraire yeah the duprees they did vilify me and my rep took a tiny hit but i am rectifying
16:37all of that which is why you don't get to rename the leslie thomas outreach project
16:50you think a little something like that is going to get in my way oh this could be quite the
16:55setback
16:56no i don't believe in setbacks joey i call them step back because when you step back
17:04then you have just enough time to get the lay of the land and figure out a plan
17:14i may be down at times but i am never out
17:22leslie what catch
17:27just so you remember who holds all the cards
17:31just for now
17:36women in this town
17:39that card entitles you to the friends and family discount heart attach i recognize that
17:46that's that escort service you like i cannot believe you use them often enough to be sharing
17:52a discount do escort services have punch cards book six dates get the seven free no and so punch
18:00cards could be a profitable idea i don't want my business compared to a nail salon i suppose there
18:06are some similarities though we offer a variety of polishes from regular to a very hard gel and
18:14the customer gets to choose the length of their manicure wait a minute what do you mean your
18:22business hard attach is under new management mine
18:30thanks for waiting
18:32uh i am thrilled naomi and chelsea tested negative
18:37maybe naomi will let me take her out for drinks to celebrate just the two of us
18:42after all she didn't snap the olive branch i offered
18:46olive branch the text i sent her she could have blown me off but she didn't
18:52well there's nothing that would make me happier than to see the two of you become good friends
18:56again all right well let's go back inside rejoin the party but you know what why don't we
19:04stay out here a little bit longer
19:12congratulations thanks stepdad anyway would you like to celebrate with some of these pastries or
19:18some more champagne they just delivered a fresh bottle well you're better off popping that cork
19:22over here than over there what shop talk who's talking law or order something about a shoplifting
19:30operation your brother-in-law is an excellent detective but his storytelling skills could use enough
19:36great oh madison just got out of her lecture invite her to join us nah i might surprise her at
19:43the
19:43hospital and tell her the good news in person then we might hit up a different spot unless that would
19:48be rude have i ever cared about what is socially acceptable in your personal life can't say that you
19:54have and neither should you i should probably tell that bye okay
20:08work um yeah but it can't wait until tomorrow it looks like things are starting to die down here

22:30or escort that she wanted to go with or a limousine that satisfied her but then i realized you know
22:35it
22:36was just because she was a teensy bit self-conscious is that why she was pouting around that whole week
22:41yeah yeah that's right yeah but after i danced around the living room a few times and she learned
22:46the moves to the coming out dance she was good to go

24:47is
24:48a lot joey owns the dating service you're now in charge and diego works for you yes yes and yes
24:56bookings
24:57have almost doubled since i took over and customer satisfaction through the roof i can see how excited
25:04and fastened you are but but what my concern is for your liability are escort services even legal in
25:12the dmv hard attach offers dates not sex which is legal and above board if a client and their date
25:20hit
25:20it off and it leads to something more well not much i or the authorities can do about that is
25:25there i don't
25:26think your argument will hold up in court but hey if you are not worried i won't be either i'm
25:32not
25:32worried joey never would have put me in charge if he thought there was the slightest chance i'd get
25:36into legal trouble besides if i did find myself in trouble i know a judge who has a punch card
25:43who is this judge i would never betray a client's confidentiality would you no but something to
25:52keep in mind should you find yourself in need of attachment i appreciate your support friend
26:04i have no idea what you're talking about bill and i have never been closer and happier yeah
26:11and why were you hanging on to him tighter than a tick on a dog you sure it's not because
26:18wifey number one
26:19was sitting right across from him and he just couldn't take his eyes off of her do i look like
26:25i care to hear your vapid observations bill has a gift of making people miserable he threatened to
26:36snatch my baby from my arms in order to run me out of town tried to take my mansion and
26:43now he is sticking
26:44his big old nose all in the plans for my free clinic from the looks of it well he is
26:52making your life
26:53miserable too i bet that we could together you know shoot him a little misery into his world
27:05and don't play the innocent on jamu with me because ain't nobody got time for the games
