It’s chaos and confessions on Monday's Beyond the Gates, where Kat and Tomás bring the heat, three couples look like they’re circling the drain, and Leslie finds herself backed into a legal corner she can't sass her way out of. From shady alibis and scratched-up fridges to surprise makeouts and emotional breakdowns, this full episode recap of BTG has it all — lies, love, and a whole lot of yelling.

Vanessa and Doug: Cheaters, But Make It Romantic
Nothing says "marital bliss" like your husband catching you getting your arm caressed by the local gangster. Vanessa and Doug’s date night was anything but when he rolled up on her and Joey mid-flirt at Uptown. Doug fakes a kid emergency to get her away from Joey's octopus hands, only to get hit with the ultimate mic drop: Vanessa’s been seeing other men and just assumed Doug was too. Awkward.
But instead of rage or revenge, Doug hits her with a Hallmark moment: he’s not leaving her, and she doesn’t really want to leave him either. Apparently, honesty is sexy now, because Vanessa is suddenly feeling free. Sweetheart, if you think all the cards are on the table, you must be playing Go Fish.
Dani and Andre: Hot in Private, Cold in Public
Dani and Andre are back in bed — again — but don’t you dare ask her to act like they’re a thing. After ditching Ted’s birthday lunch with his daughter Eva for some mid-day romance, Andre suggests they head to Uptown. Dani promptly shuts that down because someone might see them. Pamela, to be specific.
Dani insists it’s not about shame — she just needs to rediscover herself post-divorce. Translation? She likes Andre enough for a quickie but not for Instagram. Meanwhile, Andre is left wondering how long he’ll be Dani’s dirty little secret.
Ashley and Derek: Love Is Not a Lysol Commercial
Some people bring flowers. Derek brought rubber gloves and Windex. After weeks of fighting, Ashley walks in to find her man deep-cleaning her apartment, which sounds sweet — until she spots what used to be her stainless steel fridge now looking like it went through a belt sander.
Oh, and he threw out her lunch. Her perfectly fine lunch. Cue the meltdown.
Derek tries everything — scrubbing the fridge, suggesting a new place, baring his soul — but Ashley is not having it. She doesn’t want a new apartment. She wants him to stop screwing everything up. And no, Derek, she is not a fridge you can polish the dents out of. When she runs off to Uptown to breathe, she ends up with Andre’s shoulder to cry on. That’s not a rebound, that’s a warning sign.
Kat and Tomás: From Suspicion to Smooching
Kat is laser-focused on her mission to expose Eva, but her radar gets scrambled when she crashes into Tomás at the country club. She demands an apology for him playing hero to Eva the other day. Instead, she gets a lecture about reckless accusations and a Navy tattoo origin story.
But who needs resolution when you’ve got chemistry? Kat and Tomás go from arguing to making out in public faster than you can say “bad idea.” Turns out nothing spices up a BTG recap like some unresolved trauma and mutual attraction. Is it love, lust, or just a distraction from the fact that Eva might be a hit-and-run queen? Probably all three.
Leslie’s Lies, Alibis, and Side-Eye
Speaking of Eva, her loyal ride-or-die Leslie just got hauled in for questioning about Laura’s not-so-accidental accident. And for once, Leslie skips the coy act and goes straight for the sass. She calls Kat a snitch, insists Eva’s harmless, and practically scoffs in Detective Jacob’s face.
Then Jacob drops the tape Kat recorded, and Leslie’s fake confidence evaporates faster than her alibi. She tries everything — blame, denial, lunch plans with Mona and Jan — but the timeline isn’t adding up. Still, she slinks out of the station with a defiant strut… until Jacob reminds her he always gets his man. Or woman. Tick-tock, Leslie.
Ted Tries, Eva Cries
Back at Orphey Gene’s, Ted is in full dad mode trying to make Eva’s birthday special. He gifts her a framed photo of herself, which apparently triggers memories of betrayal, sibling dress loans, and a mountain of resentment. Just your typical birthday vibes on Beyond the Gates.
Andre, who was supposed to be part of this heartwarming moment, ditches it for a booty call. Maybe it’s for the best — Ted’s solo parenting game is already strained without watching Dani and Andre play “just friends” in real time.
