Beyond The Gates Recap: Martin Hires Malone to Protect His Family originally appeared on Daytime Confidential.
On today's Beyond The Gates recap:
Orphey Gene's: Kat continues to demand answers about Leslie from Jacob and the two snark back and forth (these two have such good brother/sister chemistry). They shift to discussing Leslie's case. Kat can't imagine what more information they need to trap Leslie. Jacob says they have to move beyond reasonable doubt, which frustrates Kat. Just then, Smitty enters which leads to more questions from Kat.
Kat asks Smitty what's up and Jacob picks it up saying they're working on a story together. Kat quickly makes her exit and Smitty takes a seat. Jacob asks what's up with Martin. Smitty thinks Martin is still the victim but worries he's blinded by how close all of this is to his family. Jacob says, if Martin is involved, they will need to part ways. Smitty gets it but wonders if Jacob will feel the same way if/when they find out Elon is involved. Jacob says justice makes no exceptions.
Jacob gets a call indicating Martin requested police protection from Malone. Smitty is furious and wants to know, right now, what his husband is hiding.
Martin and Smitty's Place: Martin pretends to talk on the phone as Smitty tries to continue their discussion from the night before. After his husband walks out, Martin puts down the phone.
Samantha runs downstairs to try and get past Daddy Martin. He grills her about where she's going, and she makes an ill-timed joke. Samantha apologizes but says she and Tyrell understand the concept of stranger danger. Martin reminds his daughter how her brother made such a grave error by bringing home a grown man. Samantha gets it but truly wonders what is going on with him. Martin says the world is crazy but Samantha says she will be leaving to head to the park and with that she exits.
Malone arrives and they discuss the Kenneth issue which is why Martin invited him. He says his family needs police protection 24/7 without anyone knowing it's happening. Malone promises his family will be protected.
Uptown: Chelsea and Madison discuss how happy they are with each other. Chelsea mentions her grandmother and how much Madison will love her. They discuss the amazing Anita Dupree which leads Madison to say she doesn't know anything about the way her family lives. Chelsea says there are many sides to Anita Dupree but mostly she is just a fabulous grandmother. She wants Madison to meet her for the first time at the Articulettes' reunion concert.
The waitress comes over and knows Chelsea from social media and they take a selfie. Madison says she's stunned by how much she has accomplished and how much she helps her followers. Madison fears they will get to know each other better and Chelsea will be bored.
Madison probes about Chelsea purse venture with Kat. She can't imagine dealing with so many unknowns. Chelsea is thrilled with the changes to her work and personal life. With that, they kiss and Madison suggests they go back to her place. As they get up to leave, they see Allison across the way.
Chicago: Anita calls a meeting with Tracy and Sharon. She thinks they need to update their choreography. Tracy and Sharon roll their eyes when they realize has already called someone. They are annoyed she continues to make decisions for the group rather than consulting them beforehand.
Anita tries to convince her bandmates that breathing new life into their classics will bring younger folks to their concert. Sharon thinks Anita is being bossy and remembers all the ways she used to tell them what to do. Anita continues to make her pitch but Sharon is done and makes her exit.
Tracy tells Anita their most recent argument isn't about the choreography. Anita agrees but pushes forward saying she wants Tracy to blindly agree with her and convince Sharon of the same. Tracy wishes she could but simply can't. Anita thinks she's being made into the villain again. Tracy thinks Anita always thought she had more talent than the rest of them which meant she could make the decisions. This time, it has to be different as the success of the reunion means everything to her and Sharon. They need the money which Anita has possessed for so long. She backs up Sharon saying Anita's thinks she is the boss of them, just as Sharon returns. Anita has enough and thinks maybe she should write some checks and get gone. Tracy and Sharon counter saying they have never been gold diggers sniffing around for a payout.
Anita admits most everything that happened before is her fault. She thought she could make things right and they could recreated their magic, but maybe they need to deal with the fact it's gone. Sharon and Tracy can't believe the reunion is off just because Anita says it's so.
