On today's Beyond The Gates recap:
Smitty and Martin's Brownstone: Martin arrives with a bag. He and Smitty chat with the kids about meeting June but they would rather discuss their pop coming home. Smitty says Martin is home for now so they can be supportive as they move forward with their mother. Neither Samantha nor Tyrell have any interest in a meeting beyond what they already had. They thank their parents for taking care of them as everything they are is because of them. They don't want their dad and pop to worry they will stop loving them. Just then, Naomi calls Martin and thanks him for the night before. She asks if the kids have made a decision about seeing June again. Martin says they have decided not to go forward with further visits.
Smitty asks Samantha what is wrong. She says she is thinking about how June's feelings must be hurt. Martin and Smitty say she can change her mind. Tyrell says they are all set as June was their mother but she messed up and gave them away. They are happy as can be with their life as it is. Samantha confirms they don't want a relationship with June. With that, the kids go upstairs.
Smitty asks Martin if he's good with a sleepover. Martin thanks his husband for letting him stay. The two get a wee adorable with each other as Samantha and Tyrell listen from the top of the stairs.
Orphey Gene's: June excitedly asks Naomi what Samantha and Tyrell decided. Naomi tells June the kids don't want to see her again. June wonders if she did anything wrong. Naomi says Samantha and Tyrell are only children and don't understand all June has been through. She says she feels like she's being thrown away like trash. June pulls out her picture and rips it up. She turns on Naomi and says she got her hopes up and wishes she had never seen their faces. June says Naomi ruined her life.
Jacob reminds June that Naomi helped save her life. June wonders what she saved as her life is meaningless. Naomi brings up Regina and says she cares about her. June says she should have been left where they found her and exits. Jacob tells Naomi to let her go and blow off steam.
Naomi thinks someone needs to be there to help June process. Jacob reminds his wife that June has lived on the street for years and has ways of processing she could never fathom. Naomi blames herself for everything but Jacob says she gave her hope. Naomi says she should have stayed out of it as she's destroyed so many lives (She's not wrong). Jacob promises to go looking for June and heads out.
Naomi calls Regina and gives her the heads up June may be headed her way. Just then, Jacob calls and says she's at the Brownstone. Naomi says she's headed that way.
Leslie's Digs: Eva arrives with coffee to find her mama all decked out. She is thrilled with her new station in life as everything in the world is right. Eva has never seen her mother this ecstatic. She wonders about her next step and Leslie says she is heading over to talk to Anita as she had such a negative impact on her mother's life and tragic ending.
Eva wonders why there's a rush and Leslie says she is feeling guided by her mother's hand. She as the envelope with the proof of her parentage. Leslie recalls how Peaches taught her to stand up for herself and is grateful for the peace that comes with clarity. She has been reborn a new Leslie.
Leslie insists on going to see Anita saying her mother brought The Articulettes together. Eva understands her mother thinks Anita owes her. Leslie concurs saying her mother set the course for Anita to be the star she is today. Eva asks her mother to tread lightly but Leslie wonders why she should start now. Leslie says everyone should worry because she has what she wants and they are all going to pay. They are not ready for Miss Leslie.
Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Anita tells Vernon that Leslie is on her way over. Vernon has to be in a meeting and Anita says she can handle it. Just then, Vernon gets a text from Martin saying he is staying the night, just one night, at the brownstone.
Leslie arrives in sunglasses and Vernon heads upstairs for his meeting. Anita wonders why she is there. Leslie says she has arrived and plans on staying a long time. They take a seat and Leslie asks about Barbara. She says it seems like all three Articulettes seemed to love Barbara but notes the bad blood and resentment. Leslie goes on and Anita tells her to get to the point or get gone. Leslie thinks Anita is just as nasty today as she was when she kicked Barbara out of the group. Anita says Leslie doesn't know anything about Barbara. Leslie notes Barbara died by suicide because of how Anita treated her.
Anita tells Leslie to get gone. Leslie says she won't be as easy to get rid of AS HER MAMA WAS. Anita questions her words and Leslie blatantly says Barbara was her mother.
Smitty and Martin's Brownstone: June shows up and Smitty and Martin don't understand why. Martin says how sorry he is but this is Samantha and Tyrell's home. If they don't want her here, she can't be. Martin tries to get her gone but June raises her voice saying she remembers when she shut her door for privacy her girl sat right outside waiting for her. She wonders if Samantha still does that. Smitty says the family is trying to digest everything from the night before. June says she doesn't want to hurt anyone. She gets loud as she tries to convey other things to her kids they must remember. With that, she says she will go. Samantha and Tyrell come downstairs and tell June to say what she needs to say and go.
June tells her kids she used to be very pretty pre-addiction. Some folks said she might have been a model. She says Tyrell got his math skills from her. Tyrell gets sassy and June notes he got his edge from her as well. She gets to the point and says there is good in her. The addiction is all hers as there is no family history on either side of the family. With that, June gets up to leave. Samantha says she has to be a good person to have given them up. She knows June kept a picture of them which meant a lot to her. Samantha heads over to a shelf and finds an updated picture of her and Tyrell for June, who is thrilled. Just then there's a knock at the door and June knows it's Naomi. She says she has to leave them again but wants them to know they have a mama who is proud of them. June heads over to Naomi and the two head out. Samantha and Tyrell head over to their parents for love and comfort.
