On today's Beyond The Gates recap:
Fairmont Country Club: Eva arrives to check in with Kat, who is on the phone talking about her purse line. She hangs up and Eva confronts her about taking the helmet and gloves from her room and planting it at Leslie's place. Kat denies her accusations and Eva suggests she stop trying to take her mama down. She says they will both stay around until they are ready to go.
Ted runs into Carlton who asks if he managed to win back Nicole. Carlton goes on and on about Nicole when she arrives on the scene. She makes small talk and bids Carlton farewell before exiting to her yoga class. Carlton pushes Ted to make things right quickly with his wife before someone else snaps her up (Get to snapping, Carlton!).
Martin and Smitty's Place: Smitty has been assigned a new piece on a retiring police detective, Marcel Malone (Note Martin's reaction). Martin thinks it's a puff piece, but Smitty doesn't want to develop a reputation for being difficult. Just then, Zack arrives and Smitty exits. Zack says a family run business in his district was robbed and the owner was brutally assaulted. He thinks it's a good time to send out a press release highlighting Martin's commitment to fighting crime. Martin agrees and says he will reach out to the family. As Zack tells him more about the robbery, Martin flashes back to the night of his own incident. Zack continues saying folks will do anything for money which sends Martin into another flashback. Afterwards, Zack exits leaving Martin alone with his thoughts.
Uptown: Jacob and Marcel arrive and discuss a case. Marcel spots Leslie and thinks she is fine as wine. Jacob says she is a viper. He explains a bit about Leslie's connection to the Peterson case and how he is this close to collaring her.
Marcel mentions there used to be other ways to get around the rules, but Jacob wants to keep on the straight and narrow. Just then, Leslie exits
Garland Memorial Hospital: Derek and Ashley connect for the first time in a few days. He wonders if they are all good and she assures him they are. They both admit they are out of sync when Ashley gets a call to check on a patient. As she exits, Shanice enters and asks Derek what's wrong.
Andre tells Ashley about his meeting with the board about the documentary. They've signed off which means he won't be around as much. Andre makes mention of Derek which leads Ashley to fill him in on the situation.
Nicole and Ted's Home: Kat arrives to ask Mona about Leslie. Mona is still blaming herself for Leslie and Mona's presence, but Kat says to let it go. That being said, she has formulated a plan to allow Mona to help get rid of Leslie.
Fairmont Country Club: Eva and Ted take a seat. She admits she felt more useful yesterday with Laura than at the salon. It made her remember how much she loved her work with Nicole. Ted realizes they may be able to help each other. He notes how Carlton has returned, and Kat has taken a leave of absence. Ted believes Eva could do the job. Eva is flattered but can't understand how he can trust her. Ted gets it but blames Leslie for everything. Further, he wants one of his daughters in the office. They chat a bit more and Eva agrees to take the job. She does wonder how Kat will feel about the situation. Just then, Colton arrives and Ted introduces him to their new office manager.
Uptown: Derek meets up with Nicole who asks for details about Ashely. He says things are weird as they are being overly polite with one another. Naomi asks if he loves her and says that's all that matters. Derek isn't so sure, and Naomi tells him time is precious and urges him to fight for his relationship.
Orphey Gene's: Leslie arrives to see Mona. She wonders why Mona invited her. Mona apologizes for lashing out and Leslie takes a seat. Kat watches on as her plan comes together.
Mona tells Leslie she is open to hearing her out so she can get her point of view. Leslie talks about not getting over Ted and how, after Allan died, she snapped. Just then, Jacob arrives and sits in a nearby booth with Kat.
Jacob is annoyed with Kat's continued meddling. He notes how she and Leslie have a lot in common. She blows off his comparison and says she is determined to rid her family of both Leslie and Eva. Unlike Leslie, her heart is in the right place.
Mona tells Leslie she has a little smudge of something on the corner of her mouth, and she wipes it up. They go on with their conversation and Mona admits she doesn't blame Leslie for telling Ted about Eva. That being said, the way she went about it was shameful. She can't get past Leslie taking delight in Nicole's pain.
Nicole and Ted's Home: Martin arrives to see his mother and he learns about his grandmother's revisiting his past. Nicole notes something is wrong, and Martin asks for a bit of advice. He admits to having nightmares and flashbacks which are hard to describe. Martin remembers flashing lights, loud noises and screaming. He tells his mother he thinks he is losing his mind.
Nicole asks if he knows the origins, but Martin says he has no clue. He says the nightmares began far before Leslie: The Miniseries. Martin says his only real current stress is work and the kids but nothing new. Nicole asks how they make her feel and Martin says both scared and guilty. She thinks he needs to see a therapist and he promises to use one of her referrals. With that, he makes his exit.

Endings
Martin arrives and our favorite waiter/spy chases after him.
Leslie says Mona is cruel for luring her to their favorite spot only to be brutally rebuffed. After her exit, Kat thanks Mona, grabs the napkin and re-joins Jacob. She explains the napkin was disposed of in public so the chain of custody should be clean (I'm not sure that's how any of this works).
