Bill Makes a Threat You Don’t Walk Away From
Let’s start in the shadows, where all good BTG chaos brews. Martin shows up to meet the busboy who's been blackmailing him, but surprise — Bill swoops in and pulls the “let the professionals handle it” card. Martin’s ego takes a hit, but he steps aside when the congressman makes it clear he’s got this. Joey offers Bill a job if politics ever gets boring, which sounds cute until you realize he means mafia-style work. Naturally, Bill brushes it off, but he’s got bigger fish to threaten.
Bill corners the busboy, unleashing his signature quiet menace and giving him two days to vanish or face “untold dangers.” Translation: this kid’s about to have a very bad week. Bill slides some hush money across the table like a true villain-slash-hero and declares he’s officially out of this mess. Except he isn’t, not really, because Randy — yes, Randy — is already pointing a gun at the busboy. Bill knows, and no, he’s not telling Martin a thing.
Chelsea Tries to Date... and Fails Spectacularly
Meanwhile at Uptown, Chelsea’s sitting pretty with a rose in hand, waiting for her date like it’s a rom-com. Except Madison’s late, Chelsea’s getting stood up vibes, and the entire restaurant is cringing on her behalf. Kat finds out that Madison’s shift ended a while ago, so where is she? Turns out, Madison got into a messy medical situation involving vomit and couture. She finally shows up flustered but adorable, promising Chelsea that her feelings are real despite the chaos.
The two finally settle into something resembling a real date, where Chelsea explains her family dynamics and her tendency to dodge emotional conversations. Just as it’s all going well, in walks Allison — the ex with timing so bad it could be a felony. Allison wants a private chat and Madison bows out gracefully, but not before casting a suspicious glance back. Allison confesses that she dumped Chelsea to save her marriage. Plot twist: that marriage is toast and she wants a second chance. Oh, and did she mention her husband had a temper? Chelsea is shook and Madison is watching from the doorway. Yikes.
Eva Gives Leslie a Second Chance… Barely
Across town, Eva and Leslie are attempting a mother-daughter dinner without flipping a table. Leslie, queen of sad-girl manipulation, leads with “I’m lonely” and begs Eva to remember the woman she used to love. Eva isn’t easily swayed, but Leslie’s emotional nostalgia works some minor magic. They even bond over Alan, and Eva admits she doesn’t hate sharing dinner. That’s progress.
Too bad their moment is ruined when Kat and Jacob show up and loudly whisper about evidence in the Laura case. Like, literally feet away from Leslie. Jacob says they may have found a scratch on the helmet in the footage that could link it directly to Leslie. Kat can’t resist mouthing “You’re cooked” to Leslie, who suddenly realizes this dinner might be her last peaceful meal in a while.
Is Chelsea’s Love Life About to Explode?
Back to Chelsea, who now has a choice between the emotionally present Madison or the emotionally complicated Allison. It would be nice if she could have one night without a blast from the past trying to reignite old flames, but this is Beyond the Gates, where timing is nonexistent and drama is mandatory. One thing’s for sure: Madison saw enough to know her competition is here, and Allison is not backing down. Meanwhile, Chelsea looks like she just got hit by a truck full of feelings, and honestly, she did.
