Beyond The Gates Recap: Hayley Loses Her Baby
On today's Beyond The Gates recap:
Ashley's Place: Naomi urges Ashley to tell her what she knows about her dad and Hayley's baby. Ashley tries to put Naomi off who reminds her friend she is a bad liar. Ashley says she can't reveal folks' medical information, even to a friend. Ashley offers to pay her a dollar so they can have lawyer/client confidentiality. Naomi explains the legal grey area she'd be getting into and doesn't want to cost Ashley her job. They decide to try to discuss a hypothetical situation without names. They take a seat, and Ashley tells her a story about a pregnant woman who refused an ultrasound… They go back and forth until Naomi says she actually saw a sonogram picture of the baby, which contradicts Ashley's story of no ultrasound happening.
Naomi can't imagine why anyone would fake a sonogram. Ashley says Dani has a theory and says she brought Hayley into the doctor's office the last time and is convinced she is faking the pregnancy. Naomi doesn't buy it as Hayley already has the ring but Ashley isn't quite as certain.
They shift the conversation to Ashley, Derek and Andre Richardson. Ashley knows there are bigger fish for Naomi to fry right now and says they can continue the conversation later. With that, Naomi exits.
Uptown: Dani is seated when Hayley stumbles out from the back screaming with blood on her. Dani goes to Hayley, but she screams not to touch her. Dani backs away but tries her best to help but Hayley says, 'don't do me any favors, bitch.' She would rather go to the hospital with a stranger than Dani. She points at a stranger, Sammy, who agrees to take her to the hospital.
Dani calls Bill and fills him in on the situation with Hayley. They hang up and Sammy walks back in. Dani asks what happened and he says he got her to the hospital but returned to get her phone and purse. He tries to leave with those items when Dani stops him saying he looks familiar. Sammy simply says he hopes Hayley doesn't lose her baby and exits.
Orphey Gene's: Vanessa sits thinking about her last encounter with Joey. Just then, Doug shows up and Vanessa tells him to back off Joey. Doug takes a seat and is not surprised his wife only summoned him to discuss Joey. She recognizes he's been drinking, and he says he has nothing else to do since he quit his job. Doug goes off on Ted, but Vanessa redirects him to how dangerous Joey is.
Doug gets all kinds of loud, and Vanessa tells him to quiet down. She talks about what Joey is capable of and thinks back to his story about disposing of a man. Doug refuses to be intimidated and thinks he has Joey exactly where he wants him. Vanessa stops her husband dead by saying he put a bug in Doug's car. They calm down and say they care for each other, and Doug says he worries about his wife's association with Joey. He says if something happens with the money Joey will protect himself. Vanessa gets it but is in way too deep.
Doug promises not to try and expose Joey. He cares about their marriage and wouldn't want the mother of their children, Donnell and Deanna, to go to prison. Doug says he appreciates his wife and Vanessa thanks him for backing down.
Joey's Gambling Pit: Elon arrives to see Joey to talk about the murder in the park. Joey pretends he doesn't know of what he speaks. Elon recalls having a conversation in Bill's office about Kenneth but nothing about him being killed. He says he knows Joey is up to his neck in this murder business and it's his job to bring folks to justice. Elon says the case is closed and wants Joey to be thankful for the favor. Joey says Elon was saving his own behind as so many major players were connected, including himself. As Elon and Joey shake hands, Jacob walks in the room. Joey exits to leave father and son to discuss.
Jacob asks his father why the park murder was closed without an arrest. Elon reminds his son to stay in his place and wonders why he's being questioned. Jacob thinks his dad is involved in a conspiracy. He always thought his dad was the most honest of cops which seems to gut his father. Elon explodes and says his son has no clue how much he has been protected. Elon reminds Jacob how his moral code seems to have family exceptions noting his mother and mother in law avoiding arrest. He can't imagine why his son thinks he can break the rules but no one else can. With that, Elon commands his son to cease all investigating of the park murder and assigns him to desk duty.
Bill and Hayley's Digs: Hayley is on the sofa messing with her tablet when Naomi arrives. She immediately asks why her ex-bestie lied about the ultrasound.
Endings
Joey and Vanessa meet up at the gambling pit. She says she convinced Doug to back off.
Doug opens a burner phone at Orphey Gene's and makes a call. Sammy/Randy is in an adjacent booth and Doug can't believe he's showing himself in public.
Dani flashes back to the earlier scene with Hayley and Sammy. Just then, she gets a text from Andre who wants to talk.
Hayley thinks Ashley snooped in her personal records, but Naomi says she would never do that. Before they can resolve anything, Bill arrives to check on his beloved. Hayley says she's not ok as she lost the baby. .

Being Pregnant at the Same Time as Rihanna (Twice) Is the Ultimate Pregnancy Style Cheat Code
Forever a fun fact about me: I've been pregnant 100% of the time as my personal style icon Rihanna. My own bump was just starting to swell with my second child when Rihanna revealed she was pregnant with her third ahead of this year's Met Gala in May. Sitting on the couch in my living room—half-groggy from nausea medicine—I could hardly believe it wasn't a mirage. I was officially going to endure a second pregnancy with Rihanna, who has redefined how women dress and could now hold my hand again as I navigated the queasiest and most uncomfortable months of my life. For years, I've asked myself a simple question when caught in a fashion bind: What would Rihanna wear? The prompt has never spit out a disappointing result, and I'm guilty of copying Riri's looks, sometimes head-to-toe, for everything from dinners out to my college graduation. And while worshipping Rihanna as a fashion god isn't exactly novel, the universe has seen my piety and blessed me with something exceedingly rarer: two concurrent pregnancies with Rihanna at Coachella, circa 2012. Talking about Rihanna without sounding like I'm doing a Mean Girls impression is impossible. I mean, I dyed my hair red because Rihanna's scarlet turned up on the cover of Vogue. That's only the beginning: I wore studded shorts, creepers, rushed to the store to get a nude bodysuit, a Lakers jersey accessorized with red wine, and a Nike tracksuit for a transcontinental flight all because Rihanna did it first. I can look back at the most important events in my life and see Rihanna's influence plainly. For my college graduation, I searched out the perfect white skirt-suit and Chanel brooches and wore nothing underneath the jacket the same way Rihanna did while out shopping in Paris in 2013. Little did that young woman in the white suit understand how important Rihanna's style would become, though. While emulating the Bad Gal's aesthetic was once about a single-minded pursuit of good fashion, clothes take on an entirely new meaning in pregnancy. My body changed in a flash and within a few months of both pregnancies massive sections of my wardrobe seemed off limits to me for an endless list of reasons: pants became uncomfortable, a shirt no longer slid easily over my growing stomach, and dresses made me look like I was smuggling a bowling ball. (Sorry, just a baby). Most pregnancy style advice suggests finding skin-tight dresses that seem to suggest I just keep dressing as if nothing has changed, or to shamefully hide everything away underneath a muumuu. (Rihanna, meanwhile, prefers Miu Miu.) Marc Piasecki A Bad Gal Riri-inspired college graduation look. A month and some change after giving birth to my son, I had never been away from him for more than a few minutes, but I left for the first time to drive across Los Angeles and interview Rihanna at an Ulta. She was nearly at the end of her pregnancy with her first son RZA and was still finding ways to make her stomach the star. We bonded briefly over new motherhood and I complimented the chains draped like glittery string lights over her belly. 'Belly chain extended, girl,' she advised. I held onto that hot tip until my current pregnancy. Three years later, I've made the extended body chain a staple of my pregnancy look, a style that feels emblematic of Rihanna's whole approach to pregnancy style. Pre-Rih, it felt like I should be packing my belly away rather than making it the star of the show. The Bad Gal's guide to pregnancy style prescribes dressing the tummy up with golden chains, pulling a shirt up and out of the way to give people a good view, and using sheer to maximum effect.

Mother-in-Law 'Hurt' After Daughter Chooses Baby Name with Link to Her Ex-Husband
The woman thinks the name is too close to that of her ex-husbandNEED TO KNOW A pregnant woman says that she and her partner's baby name has caused drama in their family The woman and her partner want to name their baby Georgia, which her mother-in-law feels is too close to the name of her ex-husband: George Now, internet users are advising the couple on how to move forwardA pregnant woman says that she and her partner's baby name choice has stirred drama in their family — specifically, with the poster's mother-in-law. In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous woman writes: "I am pregnant and my wife and I have decided to name our daughter Georgia. My father-in-law's name is George. Our daughter is not named after him; we just love the name." But the poster's mother-in-law — George's ex-wife — is unhappy about the name choice. "They had a tumultuous divorce and are not on great terms and she feels hurt by the similarity in names," the post continues. Adding more context, the Redditor notes that they are "very close" to both her mother-in-law and father-in-law and "see them regularly." "They divorced 22 years ago and have both been remarried for over a decade," she adds. Still, she ends her post by asking if she and her partner should pick a different name for their daughter, or if her mother-in-law is "overstepping boundaries." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Other Reddit users weighed in on the situation, with one suggesting a compromise. "If you really love the name Georgia, maybe suggest a nickname MIL can use, like GiGi," they suggested. "Having a name so similar to a family member can get confusing, so a nickname could solve that issue as well." The commenter continues, "If you're not 100% sold on the name, maybe find one you like as much or more. It would be a way to keep the peace and would be thoughtful towards your MIL, and you don't have to think of it as pandering to her. Names are a very personal choice, and really it's only between you and your spouse. But finding family harmony when a new baby is expected can make it easier on you too. Drama is never restful." Another commenter, however, offered a different take. "Disagree. This is one of those things that MIL is actually not entitled to have an opinion on," they added.
