Beyond The Gates Recap: Nicole Chooses Herself Over Her Marriage originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Police Station: Jacob tells his father about June's case and the clean up crew. Elon says how proud he is of his son when he gets a call and walks away. Just then, Smitty arrives to see Jacob. He asks if they can go elsewhere as what he has to share is about a police officer. Specifically, he has come across information about one of their officers being on the take, as Elon listens in. Jacob reluctantly agrees to head out and the two exit. Elon makes a call to meet up with someone in their regular place. Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Vernon enters and is screaming at someone on the phone about losing the young waiter. He promises the person on the other end will pay the price. Vernon plays the piano when the phone buzzes. He picks up and says, 'what now?!' When he hears Anita's voice, Vernon apologizes and tries to cover. He asks about The Articulettes and she says things are going swimmingly. Anita wonders what Vernon isn't telling her but he continues to cover. Fairmont Country Club: Martin catches up with the young waiter who finally admits their connection from that dreaded night. He says Martin's friends in high places kept him comfortable for a while but he's back to make certain he pays for his sins. Martin wonders the sins of which he speaks, and the young waiter speaks loudly about a dark night on a back road several years ago. Martin asks how much to make him disappear. The young waiter says he has lost the last two years of his life while everyone else pays for Martin's sins. He notes when you are black royalty everyone else cleans up your messes (another race-based comment). The young waiter says he must speak for his brother who is no longer with them (a clue!). He says Martin should trust him as his day is coming. With that, he storms off. Garland Memorial Hospital - Lobby: Vanessa walks in talking to Joey about their next connection. As they hang up, Doug walks up. She says will be meeting with Joey in empty homes for sale. He tells his wife to make sure she cleans up the bedroom. Vanessa wonders why he agreed to work with Joey when he's clearly not comfortable. They move out of the main lobby where Doug says he never wanted Vanessa to agree to anything illegal to pay off his debt. She thinks his displeasure has more to do with Joey than the legalities. Doug says he knows his wife is attracted to the danger Joey brings. She says she has a plan to learn everything about Joey and will cover her ass. Doug gets snarky before apologizing. Vanessa warns him not to judge her as he is responsible for their current situation. Doug wonders where their marriage will be when all is said and done. Garland Memorial Hospital – Ted's Office: Nicole arrives to say he got the flowers, and she says there's no need to continue to send them as she doesn't take them home. Nicole has actually arrived for them to consider revising their living trust and medical proxies. Ted wants to move back in so they can save their marriage before it's too late. He wants to somehow show her that he is still worthy of her love and trust. Nicole just can't with Ted and says these are things she needs to do for her. Ted goes on and on trying to convince her to give their marriage another chance but finally concedes defeat. Nicole says she has practiced the words, 'I forgive you. Please come home.' However, she doesn't believe them and can never say them. Nicole can't forget what he did with Leslie, the lies he told and how it all makes her feel like their history together is completely false. She says Ted broke her. He is trying to save their marriage while she is trying to save herself. With that, she gathers her papers and exits. Orphey Gene's: Smitty talks about the puff piece on Marcel and Jacob realizes he thinks his partner is on the take. Jacob immediately freaks because Marcel is his partner and their careers are linked. Smitty says it's why he came to him directly so they can review the evidence together. Smitty shows him the information about the connection to Joey and Jacob says it's all speculation. Smitty continues with the information about the house and boat in the Carribean and Marcel's plan to move there after retirement. Jacob counters none of that is a secret as he tells everyone. Smitty continues by discussing Marcel's bank records noting a recent $5,000 cash deposit… leading Jacob to remember seeing Marcel and Joey's handoff a few months prior. Smitty notes another deposit of the same amount two years ago but for half a million dollars. Smitty realizes Jacob knows something and tells Smitty about the handoff he witnessed. However, his father said it was a part of an undercover operation. Jacob says Marcel being dirty is one thing. It's a whole other thing if they're talking about his father, the Chief of Police, also being dirty and lying to his face. Smitty apologizes for the position he's put Jacob in. Jacob thinks if his dad is involved in all of this, Marcel is playing him. Smitty asks Jacob to think back two years. Were there any big investigations that suddenly dried up? Jacob admits he was on patrol back then but would have heard about anything wonky. Jacob still wants to maintain the possibility that everything is a coincidence. Smitty bets his journalist instinct that something happened two years ago that benefitted Marcel to the tune of 500k and maintains the link is through Joey Armstrong. Joey's Gambling Pit: Marcel and Elon meet up and discuss how there's been a hack into his bank accounts from an unknown computer. They both know for a fact Smitty is responsible. Elon recounts how Smitty just told Jacob about his suspicions before they left the precinct together. Just then, Joey walks in. The three men take a seat and play cards. Joey makes digs at how bad they are at the game but they are more worried about their current situation and how they shut it down. Elon says he will try to throw his son off the scent. Marcel thinks Smitty is still a problem and is willing to take him out. Joey thinks violence is never a proper solution and wants to deal another hand. Elon says he's out as life is enough of a gamble these days. Just then, Vanessa arrives on the scene and Joey introduces her to the police chief and detective as his gambling buddies and her as his business partner. With that, Joey pushes the two men out Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Martin walks in and Vernon says he was right to fill him in on the latest. Grandpa is not thrilled his grandson disregarded his orders and confronted the young waiter. Vernon says he made a call and confirmed the dreaded night from two years ago has come back to haunt them. Martin notes the young waiter's words and tone of voice saying he wants to destroy them. Vernon sets his jaw and says that will never happen. Vernon tells his grandson to mind his business and simply let him know when the young waiter approaches with his demands. Garland Memorial Hospital – Lobby: Doug leaves Vanessa in his dust when Nicole walks up. She asks if her friend is ok and Vanessa says she is living the life she wants to live and everyone else can kick rocks. With that, she dramatically makes her exit. Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings As Ted leaves the hospital, he spies Nicole who turns her back on him. Joey pours Vanessa a martini and says they need to establish some boundaries for their new relationship. He thinks there are topics to avoid but she wants to know everything. He knows if she knew everything about him that she would quickly disappear. Vanessa thinks he should try her. Jacob doesn't know how he's supposed to go back to the station and pretend he doesn't know what he does. Martin knows it's a problem and hates he gets to go home and simply spend time with his family (little does he know). Vernon tells Martin he will take care of the family as he always has. Martin asks that his grandfather never lie to him again. He needs to be apprised of everything his grandfather knows. Vernon agrees and Martin exits. Afterwards, Vernon grabs his phone, calls someone and says, 'he's back.' Keep checking back for the latest Beyond The Gates recaps!

Beyond The Gates Recap: Nicole Tells Ted He Is a Liar And The Truth Ain't in Him
On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Anita and Vernon's Mansion: The Dupree family is stunned by Leslie's appearance. She can't believe she's in the room where the power players make their strategic decisions. Martin wants someone to call the police which leads Leslie to call him 'little brownie man.' (When I tell you I HOWLED!) Anita stops her by saying she should be concerned with what she has to say. Leslie wants to go but Anita says it would be rude to leave before revealing why she believed she had the nerve to darken their door. Martin loses his s*** saying she has messed with the wrong damn family. He goes on to remember how Leslie was the waitress who was so nice to him whilst infiltrating his family. She asks little brownie man if that's any way to talk to his Auntie Leslie. Vernon shuts everything down and Martin makes his exit. Naomi and Dani spit vitriol at Leslie when Anita stops them and reminds them of their manners. Anita and Vernon think it's time for Leslie to state her reason for being there. He thinks maybe she is seeking forgiveness. Leslie says that would be too much to ask but is only seeking understanding. Leslie gives credit to Anita and Vernon for carrying the torch of civil right but notes she should be considered along with King, Fauntroy and Angelou as she has suffered from what Ted did to her. Anita asks if she has any proof and Leslie pulls out the DNA proof of Eva's connection to Ted and the birth certificate with him as her father. She tells them to pay attention to the birthdate noting Eva and Kat were born within two weeks of each other. Anita asks what she wants and Leslie says she wants Eva to have a connection with her family and to be treated like a princess. Leslie looks at Anita and Dani and says she is a mother just like them. Her daughter matters to her and her baby is out there right now needing her mother. She doesn't want them to blame Eva for her vendetta. She explains how Eva never had access to anything they had and deserves the world. Leslie notes the Duprees consider themselves amazing people and says this is their chance to demonstrate their truth. With that, she bids them farewell. Before Leslie can leave, Anita stops her and says she needs to have her say. Anita goes IN on Leslie saying her speech was downright Shakespearean and the family has a good laugh. Anita says Leslie put Eva through hell only to serve her own agenda. She goes on to say Leslie filled Eva with her own hatred and then wielded her like a weapon. Anita thinks she was trying to secure her own space in society. Anita says what happened between her and Ted was in private but what Leslie did tonight was in public. Nicole and Ted's Place: Nicole tells Ted she doesn't know who he is. She wants the man she married back. Ted says he is the same man she married but she says everyday of their life has been a lie. She tells THEODORE (not using his government name!?!) he is a stranger who has been lying to her for over twenty years. All his lies did was delay her heartbreak. She wished he had revealed the truth all those years ago. It would have hurt but she would have been saved from being so smug and condescending about her relationship all these years. Nicole remembers how her body was betraying her as her husband was, as well. She wonders if Ted grieved her miscarriages from Leslie's bed. Ted says he confronted Leslie and never knew about Eva. She only wanted money (lies). He paid her and thought she would leave. Nicole lashes out saying Leslie nor Eva is the problem as Ted is the one who is at the center of the issue. Ted says he never loved her but before he can go forward Nicole says his actions have caused her and the family so much heartache. Further, he had the audacity to pull in Bill Hamilton to fix his mistakes. He trusted that bottom feeder more than his own wife. He had everything but it wasn't enough. Nicole asks if there were other women but stops him before he can answer. Ted says the two of them and their relationship is all that matters. Nicole can't imagine who this man is who stands before her. With that, she tells Ted it is time for him to go. He vows to find a way back for their marriage and makes his exit. Fairmont Country Club: Kat and Eva are discussing the events of the evening. Eva notes Kat never liked her. Kat says she is correct but that did no one any good as no one believed her. Eva wonders what made Kat suspicious. Kat says she tried too hard and is disgusted by Eva. Kat thinks she should have tried harder to convince her family and Eva surprises her when she agrees. Kat goes through how Eva planned the anniversary party and got them in the perfect place to give Leslie a venue to spew her poison. Eva notes Ted is her father and pulls out the DNA results to prove it. She says she tried so hard to stop what happened that evening. Kat notes her father did something horrifying and got a crazy woman pregnant with a curbside delivery daughter with half a brain (Sweet Heavenly Lord). That all resulted in a horror show at the anniversary party. Kat can't fathom how or why Eva thinks she should be forgiven for such tomfoolery. Eva once again says she tried to stop what happened but Kat thinks she is a toxic parasite. She tries to storm out when Eva stops her, saying there is more. Eva explains she grew up thinking her father hated her enough to know she existed and throw her away. She just now found out the truth. Kat says they clearly both had different fathers than they thought. Eva tries to explain the truth about how Leslie poisoned her mind against Ted. She says when she met Ted she was stunned to learn he wasn't a deadbeat. He was a great man who was funny and caring. Kat says her appearance changed everything about her father. Eva notes they had two different fathers. Kat agrees saying it's a reverse fairy tale. She thought her father was a good man but now believes he is a nightmare and Eva believes the opposite. Eva knows Kat is furious but begs her not to let what happened that evening destroy what she's always felt about her father. Kat says Eva is her mother's child. Eva lashes out and Kat notes that is exactly who she is. She could have stopped what Leslie did but chose to go forward with the humiliation. Kat says they are done and Eva is dead to her. As Kat exits, Eva breaks down in tears. Martin and Smitty's Condo: Martin arrives home (with the Tide box full in view) and flashes back to Leslie calling him 'little brownie man.' He finds a book on the shelf with an inscription from his father and throws it across the room. He throws all of the books across the room as Smitty arrives on the scene. Martin tells Smitty about Leslie showing up at the house and Smitty takes Martin into his arms. Smitty tells Martin he has a right to be angry and is not alone. They will work through this horrible issue together. Martin mentions the kids and Smitty says they will work together to make them safe and secure. Smitty says he loves Martin because he is stronger than anything that's ever tried to take them down (Get ready, Smitty!). Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings Leslie leaves and Dani asks if anyone has heard from Nicole. They all note how devastated she must be and Anita mentions Martin. She calls on Vernon and he says they have raised children and groomed their entire family to have hope for the future. It's a long dark night for the Duprees but there is light at the end of the tunnel. With that, Anita hits the piano and begins a haunting version of 'Amazing Grace.' As she continues to sing, we go to Smitty and Martin's place as they put the books back on the shelf. Ted is freaking out at the hotel and Nicole is at the house clinging to a pillow. Kat walks in (where is Chelsea?) and pulls her mother into an embrace. Eva heads home but finds the chain lock on the door. As she screams from outside, Leslie enjoys wine inside and ignores her cries (Brutal!). Keep checking back for the latest Beyond The Gates recaps!
