On today's Beyond The Gates recap:
Dani's Home: Tomas is helping Kat and Chelsea with setting up their new fashion empire. Just then, Dani walks in and trips right into Tomas' arms. Kat re-introduces Tomas to his mother and she asks him about a modeling side hustle. Kat says her boyfriend is a lawyer and has no interest but Dani pushes. Tomas says he is honored but already has a lot on his plate. With that, he says he needs to get to the hospital.
Dani can't believe Kat is involved with a boy and wonders if he is trustworthy. Kat assures her aunt Tomas is on the up and up. Chelsea halts her mother which moves Dani to check in on their move. She wants to help them set everything up, despite them wanting to do it all on their own. Dani gets the hint and Chelsea understands about the new modeling agency. Kat gets impatient pushing Chelsea to say, they wanted to live in the guest house so Dani could help them out with their new business. Dani is thrilled and Chelsea sets up the camera to take a picture.
They chat a bit more when Dani says she's headed out to check on Bill. Left alone, the cousins giggle with glee over their new digs.
Garland Memorial Hospital – Bill's Room: Dr. Montgomery, Hayley and Bill are discussing his possible release. Dr. M wants him to commit to her plan for healing. Bill gripes and Hayley tells him to stand down. She assures the doc she has everything under control and Dr. M exits.
Hayley drops the lights down low and projects pictures of them on the wall. The first picture was when she realized he wanted her. The next is from their wedding, prior to Dani pulling a gun. She follows with one from their honeymoon and concludes with the ultrasound of their unborn child. With that, she shows some pictures from their potential future all in an attempt to motivate him to get better.
Tomas arrives with all kinds of files as Bill's cases are piling up. Hayley isn't certain but Bill is ready to dig in. Tomas shoots a smile at Hayley as they sit down to go through the files case by case.
Garland Memorial Hospital – Lobby: Ashley approaches Andre about her upcoming date with Derek. She thinks she needs to meet up with Derek in public so they can be polite and restrained. Andre thinks Derek maybe simply wants to have a night out with the woman he loves. Ashley thinks Derek is ready to take the natural next step – he wants to say goodbye. Andre asks what she wants, and Ashley says she ants Derek to be happy, even if it's not with her. That being said, she loves him and wants to be with him.
Fairmont Country Club: Vernon meets Martin and shows him an update from his grandmother and The Articulettes. As they chat, the sneaky waiter listens in.
Vernon talks on and on about Anita when Martin says the grandkids are just as lucky. He mentions his kids and then says he has something to dump on his grandfather who is more than ready to listen. Martin tells Vernon about the flashbacks/hallucinations he's been experiencing. He says the visions are now coming to him when he's awake. Vernon inquires and Martin says he heard the person saying 'let's see what color is your money' when he was with a staffer. Martin says he told his mother, and Vernon is aghast by the implications.
Vernon says Martin must only confide in him. Martin says he didn't give his mother any details. He promises not to provide any details to anyone. Vernon reminds his grandson how much they've risked keeping all of this mess silent but Martin isn't certain how much more he can take. Just then, our nosy waiter creeps around the table.
Orphey Gene's: Naomi questions Derek about his upcoming date with Ashley. Naomi wonders if Derek really wants to go through with what he has planned. He says he knows in his heart his plans are the right thing to do. Before he goes, Naomi gives him a hug for good luck.
Uptown: Derek and Ashley awkwardly greet one another and take a seat. She immediately launches into her insecurities about them breaking up.

Chelsea and Kat's Digs: Chelsea calls Madison and they flirt a bit. They agree to meet up after Madison gets off work. Kat gives her cousin the business about her father's doctor, saying she spies a new power couple in the making. With that, Kat says she needs to go see Jacob. Before she can leave, Andre arrives on the scene.

Gaming Influencers: A Powerhouse For Game Developers
Michael Kuzminov is the CEO of HypeFactory, a global AI-powered influencer marketing agency. Gaming and influencer culture have been intertwined since the earliest days of social media. Icons like Jacksepticeye, PewDiePie and Markiplier launched their careers by streaming games—turning play into profit and fandom into influence. Today, gaming can be a fast track to visibility and revenue for content creators. Yet, curiously, I've noticed that many mobile game developers still overlook influencer marketing, opting instead for in-app ads and static banners. I run an agency that has been working with gaming clients since 2017. We've launched campaigns for many well-known game developers. Below, I'll share some of the insights we've gained over the years, along with some key challenges to overcome and best practices for working with gaming influencers. The global gaming market continues to experience explosive growth. It's expected to reach $503 billion this year, up from $396 billion in 2023. Mobile gaming itself is a dominant and highly profitable segment—it was estimated to be worth $100.54 billion last year. What makes the gaming space especially valuable for marketers is its accessibility, diversity of content and the sheer scale of its audience. Gaming has become a mainstream cultural force, and gaming creators are now among the most-followed influencers among Gen Z audiences. Of the 66% of U.S. teenagers who follow influencers, 36% follow gaming influencers. Gamers often have deeply engaged communities. They create a dynamic and high-intensity space for viewer engagement through the livestreaming of gameplay or battles between streamers and viewers. All this inspires the audience to engage in the game and fuels a sense of loyalty and unity. Speaking of loyalty, research shows that YouTube viewers who watch gaming content are 53% more loyal than the average viewer. Gaming influencers also see the highest engagement among influencers on YouTube, with 5.5% of their viewers liking their content. Gaming influencer marketing spans a dynamic range of platforms: • TikTok and Instagram reels for short-form gameplay highlights and viral content • YouTube for reviews, tutorials and long-form video • Twitch for live, interactive streaming • Discord for building and nurturing tight-knit gaming communities These platforms are more than content hubs—they are commercial ecosystems. Influencers don't just promote games; they build trust, host Q&A sessions, launch challenges and even integrate e-commerce. Merchandise drops, affiliate links and direct game purchases through influencer content are becoming common, turning creators into full-fledged revenue channels. While the potential is massive, influencer marketing in gaming isn't without risks. Key pitfalls include: • Lack of transparency: Failure to disclose partnerships can damage trust and tank campaign performance. • Unclear objectives: Without well-defined goals, both brands and influencers risk misalignment and inefficiency. • Overcontrolling content: Restricting creators stifles authenticity. It's smarter to partner with influencers whose tone and audience already align with your brand and to give them creative freedom. • Prioritizing reach over relevance: Choosing influencers based solely on follower count is a rookie mistake. Engagement—likes, comments, shares and view consistency—is a far more reliable indicator of influence. • Neglecting performance tracking: Without campaign analytics, you miss critical insights that could guide optimization and improve ROI. • Global coordination gaps: Working with international influencers can create logistical hurdles. Time zone misalignment and inconsistent communication can delay launches. I recommend focusing on the quality of influencers—how well their content matches your brand's values, as well as the creator's performance indicators. The number of subscribers has long been an irrelevant indicator of quality. For a quality search, you can use influencer platforms or talk to agencies that specialize in working with gaming influencers. To maximize influence and be memorable to your audience, strive to build long-term relationships with creators. Today, the audience needs to get to know your brand and your values in order to make a purchase decision. Offer creators exclusive discounts and promotion codes to create several points of contact and motivate the audience to try your game. Finally, remember that word of mouth still works. These days, it often just takes the form of user-generated content (UGC). The audience likes to feel like part of something bigger. Encourage them to engage in publishing content that mentions your brand and thereby increases your reach. Three major shifts are redefining gaming influencer marketing. Let's examine them: • The rise of micro-influencers and mid-tier influencers: These creators have smaller audiences, but they inspire greater loyalty and engagement from followers. Brands are leaning on these influencers for more targeted, effective campaigns with better ROI. • Long-term partnerships over one-offs: Instead of one-off promotions, brands are building ongoing relationships with creators. These collaborations generate trust, deeper storytelling and greater consistency in messaging. • Community-driven marketing and UGC: Gamers thrive on collaboration and shared experiences. Campaigns that incorporate user-generated content and interactive challenges spark engagement, drive organic reach and create buzz. Gaming is no longer just entertainment; it's a dynamic marketing channel with unmatched influence. With deeply engaged communities and endless content potential, gamers offer huge opportunities for creating authentic influencer partnerships. Successful brands that treat influencer marketing as a fundamental strategy, not a gimmick, can reap the rewards of increased user acquisition, engagement and loyalty.
