Dani Drags Ted: “You’re Actually Worse Than Bill”
Monday’s Beyond the Gates recap kicks off with Dani storming into Ted’s sad little hotel hideout, serving looks and lethal one-liners. “How’s my favorite scumbag brother-in-law doing?” she snaps, wasting zero time in letting him know he’s the human equivalent of trash juice.

Ted’s all, “I’ve heard enough,” but Dani isn’t done dragging. She calls him a disgrace and lets him know that using Nicole’s fertility struggles to excuse his betrayal is lower than low—and we’re talking rock bottom of the ocean low. Even Ted’s weak protest about not knowing he had a kid with Leslie gets laughed out of the room. Dani’s verdict? “That remains to be determined.” Slam.

Anita Serves a Five-Star, Michelin-Grade Verbal Smackdown
Just when Ted thinks it can’t get worse—ding dong! It’s Anita, the Dupree family’s resident queen of shade, and she’s not here to play.
 |
| Dani & Anita | BTG |
She tells Ted to stop hiding like a scared little boy and start acting like a man, which, let’s be real, is probably asking too much. She lets him know Nicole deserves better, Leslie’s out here swinging that DNA test like it’s a golden ticket, and if Ted wants even a shred of redemption, he better start cleaning up his mess. Anita leaves him with this parting gem: “Handle your business.” Translation: Grow up, loser.
Mona Wrecks Eva at the Casino
Over at Garland Memorial, Doug’s half-present and fully distracted, which makes sense since Mona is busy bodying Eva at the casino.

| Mona & Eva | BTG |
She rolls up to Eva’s table and wastes zero time calling her out. “Funny, I didn’t take you for a poker player,” Eva says. Mona snaps back, “Funny, I didn’t take you for a backstabbing heifer—yet here we are.” Game, set, match. Eva hands over the key to Nicole’s house with her tail between her legs while Mona, unbothered and iconic, sips her drink like nothing happened.
Doug Doubles Down on His Downfall
Meanwhile, Doug—sweet, messed-up Doug—lets the pull of the poker table win again. Randy gives him one last pep talk, tells him to walk away, and Doug does... for about five seconds. As soon as Randy’s out of sight, it’s chips on the table and dignity in the trash. Somebody stage an intervention already.

Nicole to Leslie: “You’re Pathetic—Now Leave”
Leslie shows up at Nicole’s door with receipts, hoping to smooth things over with a sob story. She claims she was only trying to “expose the truth.”

Nicole? Unmoved. She lets Leslie know that falling for Ted doesn’t justify wrecking her life, and she drops the quote of the day: “As pathetic as you are, it doesn’t excuse anything that you have done.” Then she tells her to do something she’s probably never done before—show some grace—and leave her family alone. Leslie got metaphorically evicted, and honestly, she had it coming.
Kat’s Revenge Era Has Begun
Over at Uptown, Kat is fully in revenge mode. While Martin tries to make sense of their newfound half-sister, Kat is too busy planning Eva’s social execution.

After all, she saw Eva getting cozy with Tomás, and she’s not having it. Nicole tells them both the DNA test is real, but Kat isn’t interested in facts. “If it’s the last thing I do, I’m going to make them pay,” she vows. And if we’ve learned anything on BTG, it’s that when Kat gets mad, things get messy.
Mona Closes the Book on Leslie With Fire and Fury
Mona shows up at Leslie’s with nothing but smoke and fury. She calls her out for lying, for maxing out credit cards on a party dress, and for being the worst “friend” imaginable. Leslie tries to tug on Mona’s heartstrings, calling her the realest friend she’s ever had. Mona’s not buying it. Her final words? “Hell was made for people like you.” Leslie might be immune to shame, but even she flinched at that one.

Leslie Shoots Her Shot (Again), Ted Shoots Her Down (Again)
Ted finally shows up at Leslie’s, not to reconcile but to draw a big, bold line in the sand. “Stay away from the Duprees,” he warns. Leslie insists she didn’t want to ruin his life—which is hilarious since she’s been doing exactly that for weeks—and then she makes her big move. “I’m still in love with you,” she blurts out. Ted basically tells her he’d rather fall off a cliff, but Leslie’s convinced love is still alive. The delusion is strong with this one, and frankly, we love to see it.

Vanessa and Joey’s Flirty Surprise
Back at Uptown, Vanessa’s having a pity party at the bar when Joey slides in, offering a sympathetic ear and a charming smile. She gives him a quick full episode recap of Nicole’s heartbreak, and he hits her with some surprisingly deep insight. They flirt, sparks fly, but when he invites her back to his place, she pulls a fast one and declines. Joey looks shook, and we’re impressed. Vanessa’s got standards.
Anita Officially Banishes Eva
Dani and Anita, fresh from annihilating Ted, spot Eva and decide to be civil... for about five seconds.
 |
| Dani & Eva | BTG |
Anita grabs her hand like a sweet grandma, but then comes the hammer. “You will never be a part of the Dupree family.” It’s said softly, but the sting? Permanent. Eva might’ve thought she had a shot at sisterhood, but Anita slammed that door and bolted it shut.
