Beyond The Gates Recap: Nicole Rips Ted to Shreds originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Vernon is distraught as he tells Anita he was trying to spare Martin. Anita thinks he did as he's not in prison. She says he has spent the past two years with his family and earning praise for his work in the community. Had he gone to the authorities, Martin likely would have been behind bars. Vernon still thinks it was the worst decision of his life. Anita says they have to move forward. Just then, Martin walks in and says he wants to speak again to his mother. Hotel – Ted's Room: Ted is thrilled to see Nicole at his door. She says she knows everything about the last two years. Ted genuinely seems to not understand and is even more confused when she mentions Martin's press conference. He's been in surgery all day and isn't in the loop. Nicole says she knows he has kept the truth from both her and their son all this time. Nicole can't believe he kept yet another bombshell secret. She says her mother filled her in on everything earlier. Ted can't believe she knows the truth and is responding in this way as he did what he did for her. He knows what it's like to make a horrible mistake and want to make it go away. Nicole notes he even hid the truth from Martin. Ted can't imagine why he would tell Martin and also notes none of this situation is about her. Nicole can't believe the people she loves don't trust her enough to tell her the truth. She wonders if Ted was under orders from 'the Dupree High Command.' Ted says they were all trying to protect Martin. Nicole can't imagine her son needed protecting from his mother. She can't believe Ted would be so cruel as to keep him from confiding in his mother all this time. Nicole says the very slim possibility they would ever get back together is gone for good. They continue to argue until Nicole says she is ready to take next steps and makes her exit. Jacob and Naomi's Place: Jacob is beyond confused about Smitty going from being his partner in an investigation to giving him the silent treatment and trying to kill the Malone story. He thinks he is covering for Martin, but Naomi can't imagine her cousin doing anything worthy of covering up. She asks what's changed and Jacob tells her about the body in the park and Martin calling off his presser. When he went back to Smitty, he completely shut down and claimed spousal privilege. Naomi, once again, says Martin is clean. Jacob reminds her that he is talking about her family… Naomi thinks Smitty was right by claiming spousal privilege. Jacob is still beside himself when Naomi flips the script and wonders if he's thinking about whether or not his father is complicit. Jacob doesn't want to think about it but Naomi notes it's a real possibility. She tells her husband to slow his roll and remember which family he's still a part of.

Garland Memorial Hospital: Derek walks in and right past Ashley to chat with Shanice. He admits she was right about her exercise suggestions, as Ashley side eyes the duo. Ashley calls someone and says she needs backup. Derek tells Shanice how much she makes him smile. She wonders if they're time together is simply to make each other smile. Shanice wonders if the heat between them is a real thing or is Derek just trying to push Ashley's buttons. Derek wonders if it's ok if it's both which makes Shanice giggle. Shanice plays with Ashley by laughing about nothing. Derek is tickled by Shanice and thinks they are at the beginning of a very fun connection. Just then, Andre arrives and Ashley makes a big, loud deal about it. He wonders if she is feverish as Ashley called him to come over. She whispers and tells him to just follow her lead. Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Dani is horrified after learning about what happened tow years prior. Martin admits it was all horrifying. Vernon says Dani and Nicole never faced anything so terrible and hoped they never would. Martin wonders if he made assumptions about those white men the way they did about them. Dani rises and goes to Martin to says she loves him and thanks him for protecting her father. With that, they embrace. They all discuss the entire situation as Martin worries his mother will never forgive him. Dani says every decision he made allowed their safe return home. In addition, she notes he would have told his children to do the same thing he did two years prior. The mention of his children reminds him of Kenneth's recent tour through Fairmont Crest. He realizes he could lose his family for good. Just then, Nicole storms in. Everyone leaves the room so Martin and his mama can be alone. Nicole wants her baby boy to get some sleep as she knows he's exhausted. They exchange I love yous and embrace. Hotel – Ted's Room: Bill arrives to see Ted with a drink already in his hands.

Bill tells Ted to chill because the immediate threat to all of them is dead and gone. Ted isn't so sure it's ok to celebrate a death. Martin texts Smitty and tells him about his day and how he loves him beyond measure. Nicole has retreated back to Dani's place and she serves her sissy a drink.

Beyond The Gates Recap: Anita Demands The Truth From Vernon
Beyond The Gates Recap: Anita Demands The Truth From Vernon originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Vernon tells Anita the surviving attacker returned to the area. He got a job as a bus boy at the country club and listened in on their conversations. He says the man has been back for more than a month. Anita is furious he kept the secret and demands to know every detail. Vernon says he tried to pay the man off but things spun out of control. He says the man tried to get to Martin through his children but did them no harm. Martin scheduled a press conference to take all responsibility. He didn't go through with it because the man is dead, gunned down in a robbery (Not Vernon continuing to lie to Anita!). Anita turns and asked if he made this happen. Vernon says he had nothing to do with that man's death. He also wanted to stay out of it so he left the details up to Bill. Anita tells Vernon he couldn't have known Bill would resort to murder. Vernon continues by telling her the Joey Armstrong of it all. She hates that Martin and Joey are now tied together forever. Anita wonders if the press got wind of anything, but Vernon says Martin ended the presser before anything got out. That being said, it's all a mess and Dani and Nicole are going to have questions. She thinks Nicole is going to be especially difficult to deal with. Vernon wonders if they should have included her the entire time since Martin and Ted are so intricately involved. Anita worries Nicole will pull away when she learns more secrets have been kept from her. Martin and Smitty's Place: Smitty has no clue how Kenneth could be dead then wonders if Martin had something to do with it. Martin vehemently denies any involvement. He realized to protect his family he needed to admit the truth. Martin was ready to go through with revealing all at a presser but then learned Kenneth was deceased. Smitty isn't stupid and knows someone made this happen to help him. Martin says the only thing he knows is his grandfather wasn't a part of Kenneth's murder. Smitty starts to ask who did kill Kenneth but stops as he's certain Martin already knows. Martin says his family didn't tell him what was going on (True, but he sort of knows who's responsible). Smitty counters saying Martin knew Malone was involved and then hired him to protect their family. Martin says he doesn't know if Malone was involved in today's events. Smitty asks about Joey and Smitty admits he was at the press conference and doesn't think it was a coincidence. As they continue to argue, Samantha and Tyrell march downstairs and demand to know what's going on. Smitty begs the kids to go back upstairs but Tyrell says they deserve to know what's going on. Martin agrees and says he will fill them in. Martin tells them the story of that fateful night two years ago, while smoothing over many of the details. Smitty watches as Tyrell and Samantha go to search their phones for details. Martin says they didn't report the incident to the police which confuses the kids. Martin didn't think the police in that area would believe they were acting in self-defense. He then reveals the man was Kenneth. Both kids are stunned and wonder why, like Smitty, their pop didn't tell them the truth. Martin says it was better for them not to know for their protection. Samantha asks what they do about Kenneth now but Martin says he's gone. Tyrell and Samantha have all kinds of questions about the presser and Kenneth. Smitty intervenes and says their pop waited too long but finally decided to tell the truth about the situation. Samantha thinks pop's plan worked as Kenneth probably ran when he realized how much trouble he would be in. Tyrell jumps in asking why he ended the press conference early. Martin simply says Kenneth is gone. Samantha wants so badly to crush the conflict saying she's so happy everything has been settled and they can go back to normal. Smitty says he's going to need a little more time. Samantha can't imagine why and doesn't want her dad to punish her pop for being the hero. Smitty says he's not trying to punish anyone and Tyrell backs him saying pop has been lying to them from the beginning. Samantha backs Martin who steps in saying her dad and brother have a right to be upset. Martin says it's going to take more than apologies to fix what is broken. Smitty says he can't make any promises about what's to come. With that, Martin says he won't be far, takes his bags and exits. Samantha rolls her eyes and heads upstairs. Tyrell follows saying he will talk to her. Nicole's Home: Vanessa arrives to see Nicole and says her blood pressure is up after dealing with 'that bitch' Leslie. She explains about the scene at Orphey Gene's after confronting Leslie about Laura. She hates she didn't just walk away. Vanessa is certain Leslie deserved whatever words Nicole threw her way. Nicole admits she threw more than insults as she came close to strangling Leslie. Vanessa thinks she was justified. Vanessa says no one is talking about her and Leslie as all are focused on Martin and his very odd presser. Nicole is strangely unaware of this event which puzzles Vanessa. Nicole grabs her tablet and finds some news. She immediately wonders why Bill was there, which also surprised Vanessa. She says Bill was acting like his spokesman and was very supportive of Martin. Vanessa fills Nicole in on all the details. Nicole is beyond annoyed her family didn't bring her in the loop. Vanessa thinks Martin is in trouble and suggests she not wait for an invitation to get involved. Nicole thanks her friend and heads out to find Martin. Fairmont Country Club: Dani and Bill continue to snark and chat. Bill tells Dani to stand down as he's met his 'read for filth' quota for the day. Dani realizes Vernon's words really cut Bill, who says her father cut him to the core. He admits he still desires her father's approval and is annoyed it's still the case. Dani isn't buying it as Bill is so cold. She notes the only person whose approval he's ever needed was his own father, who only withheld it because Bill wanted it so badly (Oooooh, a mention of Bill's father!). Bill says approval and respect are different. What he wants from Vernon is respect. Martin and Smitty's Place: Nicole arrives and promises not to always stop by unexpectedly. Smitty is happy to see her but she recognizes things are not well. Samantha runs downstairs and greets her grandmother. She asks about Martin and Smitty says he's not staying there right now. Nicole is rightfully surprised and hugs Samantha when she learns these events just happened a few minutes prior. She mentions the press conference and Smitty says that was about something Martin should explain himself. Nicole tells Samantha her family adores and supports her. She looks at Smitty and says that sentiment is for everyone. Smitty thanks his mother-in-law. Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Vernon tells Anita that Smitty was assigned to write a profile of Malone. It was intended to be a puff piece but Smitty did a deep dive, uncovering Malone's connection to Joey. He continues saying that deep dive led Smitty to connect to Jacob who joined the investigation. Anita can't even imagine what Smitty will do with the information as he built his career on uncovering corruption. Vernon thinks Smitty's sense of loyalty will come before his career. Just then, Martin storms in with his bags. Martin says he gave the kids a sanitized version of what happened, but told Smitty everything… which is why he's there. Anita says it was unfair of them to pressure him to keep everything from his husband. Martin counters he should have told Smitty everything two years ago but he would have never gone along with covering it up. Vernon realized he was dead wrong to set the coverup in motion. Anita pushes back but Vernon says they could have dealt with the situation despite the consequences. If they'd done so, there wouldn't be another death on their hands. With that, Vernon says the situation is different now. They can't come forward or Joey will retaliate. Martin and Smitty's Place: Jacob arrives and tells Smitty an unidentified man was found dead by a single gun shot wound in the park, discovered by Malone. Smitty tries his best to avoid making connections but Jacob says he thinks there's a connection to Joey. Smitty thinks the connection is a stretch which confuses Jacob. He continues saying there has to be a larger issue going on here. Smitty doesn't disagree but says he's kind of done for the night. Jacob realizes something is going on and Smitty admits Martin moved out. Upstairs, Samantha tells Tyrell she doesn't understand why he and dad are so mad at pop. Tyrell says they can have differing opinions. Samantha thinks their parents should just forgive each other and be done. Tyrell says dad will eventually forgive pop. Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings Samantha calls Tyrell a hypocrite because he wanted folks to stay out of his business. Tyrell rightfully says that situation was very different. He says Kenneth was dangerous and no one knew. Samantha admits pop should have informed them sooner but no harm no foul. Tyrell says there is way more going on than they know about. Jacob asks Smitty about Martin not being there. Smitty thinks it's for the best right now as he doesn't recognize the man he's become. Jacob says he and Naomi will do whatever they can to be supportive before making his exit. Martin tells his grandparents Smitty understands the entire situation which is why he's upset. He is trapped in a situation not of his own making. Vernon offers to talk to Smitty but Martin says to give him the time he asked for. Anita says they will support him no matter what. Just then, Nicole storms in and demands to know what the hell is going on. Keep checking back for the latest Beyond The Gates recaps!

Beyond The Gates Recap: Martin Tells Smitty The Truth About Two Years Ago
Beyond The Gates Recap: Martin Tells Smitty The Truth About Two Years Ago originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Anita arrives home and immediately ignores a call (Tracy?). She calls out for Vernon but gets no response. Orphey Gene's: Bill, Martin and Vernon are chatting. Martin can't believe Kenneth is dead and his nightmare is over. Bill lies and says Kenneth was at the wrong place at the wrong time and is dead. Either way, it works well for them. Vernon remembers back to a few minutes ago when he saw Malone with a gun pointed at Kenneth. Martin can't believe he almost burned his whole world to the ground. Martin grabs Bill's phone when he realizes the picture of dead Kenneth was sent to him at the perfect time. Bill tells him to focus on the two-year weight that has been lifted from his shoulders. Martin doesn't think the weigh has been lifted. Kenneth may be dead but his nightmares will remain. He won't be free until he stands in his truth. Bill wants his nephew to straighten things out with his family but thinks going public is crazy. Martin thinks he's seeing everything clearly as he looks around the room and sees Joey and suspects either Malone or the Chief of Police is in on the situation. Just then, reporters approach and ask about the cancellation of the presser. He doesn't make a comment and they are ushered out. Martin mouths off at both Bill and Vernon before storming out. Joey won't reveal any more details. He says his business is such that he can't tell her every little thing. He knows she gets turned on by the rush, but Vanessa wants to be the judge of what she can handle. Vernon is furious with Bill for not calling off his thugs. Bill shoots back that his 'self-righteous ass' heard what he wanted. Money wasn't going to fix anything and a more permanent solution was necessary. Vernon says his entire family is now an accessory to murder. Bill shoots back saying he's not that sloppy. They continue to snipe back and forth until Vernon stops him saying, 'we both know who really holds the power in this room.' With that, he exits. Vanessa pushes Joey about being his alibi. He tries to charm her but to no avail. She says she's involved with the Duprees and wants to know every dirty detail of whatever is going on. Joey tries to get out of telling her anything but Vanessa pushes. He gets close and says they disposed of a very bad man. Malone arrives and Vanessa makes a spectacle of calling him over to their table. She looks at him and says she hears the evening has been quite productive. Vanessa gets snarky with Malone and Joey about the adrenaline rush of the night's activities. She continues but Joey yells, 'ENOUGH!' Joey says if she ever brings up his business in this way again things will not end well for her. Martin and Smitty's Place: Samantha is beyond irked they are just sitting and waiting for pop. Smitty reminds her and Tyrell that their pop made a choice, and he chose to leave. Smitty's phone rings. He says it's not their pop but he still needs to take it. His boss fills Smitty in on Martin's press conference and how it was quickly cancelled. Next, Smitty gets a call from a reporter at the presser who asks about the family emergency. He knows better than to answer and quickly hangs up. Martin returns and finds his family waiting and his bags at the door. He begs Smitty to let him explain. Smitty is not trying to hear any of it and can only focus on the secrets and lies. Samantha and Tyrell are just happy their pop is home, but their dad is on a roll. Martin says he's done with the secrets and hiding. He asks the kids to leave the room, but Smitty stops him. They've all been impacted by Martin's deception and deserve to know the truth. Samantha agrees to go upstairs, and Tyrell reluctantly follows. Martin apologizes to Smitty, but he only wants to know what happened two years ago. Martin goes directly into the story. He and Vernon were at a political event. On the way back, they took a wrong turn. Flashback: Martin is driving and talking to Vernon about life on the political trail. Just then, they get a flat tire. In real-time, Martin says they were alone on a dark, deserted country road. Flashback: Martin gets out of the car and opens the trunk to get the spare tire. Just then, a car approaches and pulls up behind them. Kenneth and presumably his brother get out and size up the situation. Vernon hops out and thanks them for stopping but says their foot to go. Kenneth says they can help but not for free. He asks how much money they have. Vernon mentions calling the police to help. The brother gets too close to Martin who pulls back the tire iron as if to strike him. The brother says, 'let's see what color's your money.' Kenneth goes for Vernon while the brother goes after Martin. Kenneth pulls a gun and Martin knocks him to the ground with the tire iron. The brother comes for him and Martin knocks him down, as well. Martin then jumps on top of the brother and beats him until blood splatters all over his shirt. Vernon begs him to stop and then pulls him off. Vernon reaches down and says the brother is dead and Kenneth is unconscious. In real-time, Smitty is in shock but Martin says there's more. He isn't even certain what happened afterwards as he was in shock. Smitty begs him not to shut down now. Martin says his grandfather knew who to call to make everything disappear. Smitty knows he means Malone. Martin confirms and says he showed up with Chief Hawthorne right behind him. His grandfather told the Chief to get him out of there and he drove him home, which is when Smitty saw him in a disheveled state. Smitty knew something serious had gone down. Martin says he was in his grandfather's clothes because there was so much blood. He admits he killed a man, snuffing his life out like it was nothing. He continues to see what he did to Kenneth's face in his nightmares. Smitty asks about the dead body and the witness to the crime. He asks if Martin was a part of the cover up. Martin says he went along with all of it, even when Joey was brought in. Smitty realizes that's when Malone's bank account blew up. Martin explains his rage. When he saw the white man lay hands on his grandfather, he couldn't control himself. The rage exploded against the situation and the hatred of those two men. Smitty is in tears as he can't believe Martin has lived with this much pain for so long. With that, the two embrace. Martin asks if Smitty wants to hear the rest and he says yes. Martin says Kenneth was one of the two men. He just found out Ted was called in for the plastic surgery and Kenneth was given money to start a new life overseas. He always worried Kenneth would return and he did, weeks ago. Martin explains he was working at the country club but he didn't realize who he was, until Kenneth made contact. Smitty begins to breathe like a bull when he realizes Martin kept quiet despite the danger looming over their father. Martin says granddad insisted but Smitty isn't hearing it. He is beside himself knowing how Martin's inaction kept them in all kinds of danger as they walked around oblivious. Smitty reminds Martin of how he held him through every nightmare and begged to be let in. Even so, Martin should have told him immediately when Kenneth returned. Smitty says he should have protected them but he failed. Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Vernon arrives home and is thrilled to find Anita waiting for him. She can tell something is wrong and asks him to tell her everything. Vernon is evasive asking all kinds of questions about Chicago. Anita stops him dead as she wants to know what is going on. Fairmont Country Club: Bill is drinking when Dani approaches. Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings Vanessa wants to leave but Joey holds her there until he checks in with Malone. Afterwards, Joey grabs Vanessa and the two get all kinds of dangerous in public. Dani and Bill drink together and she asks what's wrong. After they go back and forth a bit, Bill admits her daddy raked him over the coals. Dani says if her father gave it to him hard then he knew Bill could take it. Further, she thinks Bill and her father compliment each other but he disagrees. Vernon tells Anita the night from two years ago has all come back, and Martin is drowning. Martin admits the worst choice he made through the last two years was not being honest with him. Smitty believes him and is horrified by what his husband experienced. He can even understand Martin maintaining the lie until a few weeks ago. His loyalty should have been to his family. Smitty looks upstairs towards the children and tells Martin he needs to go as he is a danger to the family. They argue back and forth until Martin admits Kenneth is dead.
