It was a brutal Tuesday on Beyond the Gates, and no one came out unscathed. Tomas shattered Eva’s heart with a single sentence, Kat finessed an apology out of the man who was supposed to be yelling at her, and Leslie? She’s already planning how to spend Ted’s next ten checks.

June’s Reunion Goes Up in Flames

Let’s start with the trainwreck reunion we all saw coming. June and her estranged sister Regina finally came face to face, and not one hug was exchanged. Instead, we got Regina calling June a parental disaster and June accusing Regina of being a “snake in the grass.”

The real chaos hit when June saw that picture of her kids on Regina’s phone. She practically tackled her sister to grab it, then tried to claim it was just some random photo she picked up. Seriously? Regina was not having it. She called June out for abandoning Ron and Cecile, reminding her that she dumped those kids and disappeared without a backward glance.

When June stormed off, Regina turned to Naomi and Jacob and made it crystal clear: she is done being pulled into her sister’s drama. Honestly, who can blame her?

Andre Sweeps Ashley Off Her Feet (Almost)

Meanwhile, Ashley was living her best fake-Paris fantasy with Andre, who recreated the City of Light right in his living room. There was French music, romantic lighting, and even a beret. Yes, a beret. Ashley was swooning hard, and Andre didn’t let up. He toasted to following your heart and asked her to name her dreams. She couldn’t think of one. Girl, that’s what happens when you date duds like Derek for too long.

Andre shared how losing his parents made him live in the moment, which only made Ashley fall harder. He even offered to paint her something special. And just when it looked like we were heading for a kiss, she got nervous and pulled back. Instead, they ended things with a polite little cheek peck. It’s giving slow burn. Dani, time to start checking that man’s location.

Joey Lays Down the Law With Doug

Over at the casino, Joey was trying to impress Vanessa after losing out on a big deal. His solution? Move more shady money through her realty business. Vanessa, half-terrified and half-turned-on, agreed — until her drunk husband Doug stumbled in.

Doug immediately clocked the sexual tension, made some nasty comments, and started flexing his ties to the cops. Bad move. Joey slammed him against the wall and told him to get lost, but Doug left with a threat instead. He’s got friends in high places and promised to spill Joey’s secrets.

Naturally, Joey had one of his goons plant a bug on Doug. Because on BTG, no threat goes unmonitored.

Leslie Gets Paid, Then Gets Greedy

While Eva secured a very generous loan from Ted, her mother Leslie was already online shopping. Not even a thank you. Once Ted confirmed that Kat really did sabotage Eva’s accreditation, his patience ran out. He told Eva he’s done giving Kat second chances, and you could practically hear the thunder rumbling in Dupree Land.

Eva then stopped by Leslie’s place, only to find her mom dancing around with the check like she’d won the lottery. But Leslie wasn’t done. She immediately asked Eva to hit up Ted again for more. According to Leslie, this was just the beginning of a long, well-funded journey.

Eva had seen enough. “If I ever tell you anything about my life again, it’ll be by mistake,” she snapped before walking out. Honestly? Valid.

Tomas Crushes Eva’s Hopes While Kat Keeps Spinning

Kat tried dodging Tomas all day, clearly regretting their night together. But before she could get to that drink he wanted to share, she stopped by Ted’s room to get an earful. Except she somehow flipped the entire conversation, got him to apologize, and even kissed him on the way out. Classic Kat manipulation at its finest.

Meanwhile, Eva met Tomas at Orphey Gene’s and got the worst news possible: he’s back with Kat, and yes, they slept together. Eva tried to smile through the pain, but when he thanked her for being “understanding,” you could see her soul leave her body.

Tomas then ran straight to meet Kat for that drink. He gushed about how connected they are, how perfect everything feels, and how happy he is that they’re “finally together in every way.” Kat pretended to agree, but let’s be real... she still doesn’t know what she wants.

Back at the diner, Eva sat alone, crying quietly into her coffee. “They belong together, and he can never be mine,” she whispered. Sweetheart, he just broke your heart without blinking. Let him go.
