Bill said things changed and wanted her to move on and someday wish him and Hayley well. Dani said she wanted to put a curse on him. Bill warned her not to hit Hayley again. Dani said he couldn’t possibly hurt her more than he has. Bill said not to try him. Dani said she wasn’t afraid of him. On her way out, Dani warned Hayley that she hoped she got what was coming to her. When Dani got on the elevator, she cried.

Update written by Suzanne

Martin naps on the couch, having a nightmare. Smitty wakes him up, so he jerks awake, sweating.

Anita looks out the window. Vernon comes in, wondering what she’s thinking so hard about. She was remembering their early days of marriage, when times were simpler. They thought they could change the world. It’s much harder to deal with the problems that arise from having children and grandchildren. Anita concludes, “They hurt, we bleed.” She vents that she could kill Bill with her bare hands. Vernon says they don’t have a choice on how to go forward. Martin must be protected. She laments that Dani will pay the price – again.

Meanwhile, Dani threatens Bill with his golf club, so he tells the others to leave and close the door. He wants to know what she wants and if she feels better, having gotten that out of her system. She says that she doesn’t yet, but then she slaps him, hard.

In Nicole’s office, Ted praises Kat’s marketing skills. Her ideas have increased his bookings by 10% (he’s a plastic surgeon). Andre is impressed and notes that her talents will take her far in life. Nicole asks him where he’s shooting the video bio. He replies that he’ll shoot tin her office, and also on Ted’s grounds. He jokingly asks Ted if he’s camera shy. Ted says that he’s not and he’ll be there to support his beautiful wife, who’s getting an award. Ted and Nicole hold each other in their arms. Kat and Andre agree that the couple should talk about how they met and the rest of their story. Ted praises Andre and says that it’s good to see him. Andre points out that they all saved him. He thanks them, saying he can never repay them. He and Ted hug warmly.

Naomi and Chelsea watch one of Chelsea’s social media videos and talk about it. Naomi doesn’t know how Chelsea can live such a public life – always being judged. It doesn’t bother Chelsea. She tells her sister about the purse line that she and Kat are working on. Naomi thinks it sounds great but wonders how their mom, Dani, will feel. Chelsea hasn’t told Dani yet about her plans, or that she’s quitting modeling.

Bill picks up chairs, making fun of Dani for threatening him and slapping him. She says that beating him to death would be fun, but she demands answers. How dare he move his whore into her community, she asks. He bristles at that, saying that Hayley is no whore. They like it there in Fairmont Crest. He sold his house and has been living in a suite at the Ritz. She suggests, exasperated, that he find another house, outside of their community. He says that it’s the best address in Maryland. She reminds him that it was marrying her, and getting help from her family, that moved him into their community in the first place, and it was her father’s connections that jump-started his career. He laughs derisively, telling her to get over herself. He states that he would have gotten to the same place, with or without their help. They didn’t make him; he made himself and brought her along for the ride. She looks at him like he’s crazy.

Leslie, AKA Dana, sits with Jan and Mona at the diner, Orphy Gene’s. Jan notices that Leslie seems down. She says that the guy sitting nearby reminds her of her late husband, Alan. They know she lost him not too long ago, but she’s still processing her grief. Leslie brightens up and asks to hear about the rich folks gossip. Mona tells her about Dani punching Hayley, and also about how Vanessa saw her throw the coffee cups. She asks Mona for more, but Mona says that things go smoothly at Ted and Nicole’s. They are in love. Leslie admires Nicole, so Mona says that Nicole is amazing and inspirational.

Andre recalls his first year after the plane crash that killed his parents, Stan and Ira (I guess Ira is a girl’s name here). Nicole tells him that she and Ted haven’t flown together since. Andre hates to think how his life would’ve turned out if not for them and Martin. Kat hugs him. They’re happy to have him home. Kat wants to take his photo, but he won’t let her. He doesn’t want to be on social media. He takes a photo of the three of them, instead.

Naomi advises Chelsea that both she and Dani are adults, so she can do what she wants and not have to worry about Dani. Chelsea just wants to do her own thing. Naomi can relate because she moved away, married Jacob and opened her own firm. Dani also did that she was young, ignoring her parents’ wishes. Chelsea feels that Dani is very fragile right now and that being her manager is all she has. Naomi reminds her of when they were younger, always waiting to see what mood Dani was in. They still do that, and she thinks Chelsea should move out, to get away from all that. Chelsea feels guilty, but Phoebe tells her that there’s only one life, and that Dani is a survivor. It’s not easy, but she has to create a distance of her own.

Dani and Bill argue. He says that his marrying Hayley is not about her. He fell in love. She knew he was unfaithful, but she ignored it, to keep the family together. He says that he can’t do this with her. He says that people change and move on. He postulates that maybe one day, she can wish he and Hayley well. She replies, “Never.” and hopes that he has a long life of misery. She would put a curse on him if she could, and she calls him a selfish, heartless bastard. He warns her never to touch Hayley again. She storms out of his office, but Hayley is outside, so she figures she must have heard everything. She sneers at Hayley that she’s not special and warns her that “Past is prologue.” Once she gets in the elevator, Dani breaks down, crying.

Vanessa is in a bar called Upswing (at the country club?). She’s sitting in a booth, wearing sunglasses and a scarf, like she’s in disguise. A handsome man comes in and takes the other seat. He flirts with her and grabs her knee under the table, which she enjoys. Dani arrives, orders a drink and wonders what’s going on. She can tell that this is not Vanessa’s husband, Doug.

Doug is sitting in his car when a man named Randy Parker gets in. Doug hands him some kind of paper or packet. They shake hands, and Randy leaves.

Kat lets Andre know that she’ll bet at the photo shoot tomorrow. He agrees that she can be his assistant. She warns that things will be tense between Dani and Chelsea. She asks him how he’s doing, so he tells her that he’s been photographing a new resort in Bali. They laugh about how tough that must have been. She feels bad that he lost his parents in a horrible accident, even though it was 10 years ago. She admires that he lives his life on his own terms. He reminds her that he lives off his parents’ inheritance, which makes him feel uncomfortable, but she thinks it balances out, since he gives so much to charity. He asks what she’s been to and whether she has anyone. She shares that she’s been working a lot and has no time for romance. She’s been learning about business. She declares that she and Chelsea will do big things, but she swears him to secrecy for now. He agrees, and they do a brother-sister type of secret handshake, which is cute.

Anita and Vernon look at a photo of Dani as a baby. It kills them that they have to add to her pain, as well as give in to Bill and help Hayley. Vernon suggests that they call his bluff, but Anita doesn’t want to gamble with Martin’s future. Vernon tells her that she’s not telling Martin about any of this, and she agrees. She notes that they’ve never spoke about “that night,” and he adds that it’s for good reason. They don’t admit their choices, so they’ll move forward as planned. Then they hug.

Mona leaves her friends at Orphy Gene’s to go back to work. She complains about having too much work and overtime. Leslie points out that she’ll be glad to get that in her paycheck. She has missed Mona at choir practice.

Smitty tells Martin that he thinks he should talk to someone about the nightmares he’s been having. Martin doesn’t react well to that suggestion. Martin gets a text about a sudden family meeting with his grandparents, so he has to leave.

Naomi and Chelsea hug. Chelsea decides that she’ll wait until after the wedding, and Dani’s feeling better, to tell her the news. They both the text, too.

Nicole, Ted and the rest also get the text. Nicole hopes that Dani didn’t do something she shouldn’t.

Vanessa tells Dani that she hired the guy for some role-playing. She’s Incognito Taylor and he’s her biggest fan. Dani looks shocked, so Vanessa laughs and says that she’s joking. She introduces the guy to Dani as Zeke from her office. She thanks him for dropping off her keys, and he leaves. Dani notes that role-playing with him might not be such a bad idea. She tells Vanessa about her visit with Bill (leaving out the golf club and the slap). Dani vents to Vanessa that she can’t reach the man that she was married to for her over 30 years. It just makes her hurt and more angry. She’s decided to go to Paris after Chelsea’s photo shoot tomorrow. Vanessa thinks that’s a great idea. Dani gets the text. She says that if Bill has done one more thing to disrespect her, she can’t be held responsible for her reaction. She leaves.

Mona gets a bracelet from Laura as a thank-you for her previous advice. Nicole walks in and admires it. Laura tells Nicole that the smaller country club room is available for both nights. Nicole just has to choose which night. She tells them both to take off early. When Laura brings up Maui again, Nicole mentions that she met Ted at a medical conference there.

Naomi spills her guts to Chelsea about how angry she is at their dad. She despises him for the affairs and the way he treated their mom. She no longer feels any love toward him. Chelsea is shocked by what she said because they used to be so close. Nicole declares, “Never again,” saying that she has no father.

Bill and Hayley pick up debris in his office, including a photo of them (now the glass is cracked). She’s sad that they both lost their relationship with Naomi. She misses her. She hopes that she’s worth his losses. He agrees that she is worth it. He was going through the motions before meeting her. She jump-started his heart. He tells her that he’ll never regret being with her, and he kisses her.

Naomi plays piano and sings a little, at her grandparents’ place. Chelsea is on her phone nearby, on her live social media feed. She tries to take a video of Naomi, but Naomi waves her off. Nicole and the rest of her family arrive. Kat suggests to Chelsea that she’s eating too much meat (before the photo shoot tomorrow). She apologizes for acting like Dani and urges Chelsea to eat it, quick, before Dani arrives. It’s too late because Dani arrives and takes the plate away from Chelsea. Chelsea seems used to this, so she doesn’t even resist. Dani fixes her a plate of vegetables instead. Naomi suggests to Dani that she let Chelsea live her own life, but Dani doesn’t want to hear what she says. She says that eating healthy food is just as easy as eating junk food. Martins asks Nicole quietly how he can help. Nicole says that Dani needs someone to listen to her. Vernon and Anita arrive.

They tell their family that there’s been a change of plans, and they won’t like. Dani tells them, first, that she’s going to Paris tomorrow, but Vernon says that won’t do because they need everyone there to go to the wedding as a family. Dani, shocked, says, “No!”

Laura tells someone on the phone that Nicole likes option #3 for the Lynch brunch menu. She heads out from the office, alone.

Anita reminds them all that they’re Duprees – they don’t cower or hide. She says, “If Bill has the nerve to marry that heifer in our community, then he’ll do it looking at their pissed-off faces.” Vernon says that it’s not just their family; he needs to get people from the community to turn out for it, too. Dani can’t believe they want her to support her ex, who’s marrying again. Martin says he’s all in for making Bill and Hayley as uncomfortable as possible. Dani refuses, but Anita tells her that she needs to be there. Naomi also likes the idea. Dani storms off. Vernon follows her and asks her to attend, saying that he has a good reason that he can’t tell her. He asks her to trust him. She agrees, reluctantly. He kisses her on the forehead and thanks her. Vernon goes back and tells Anita that Dani feels betrayed all over again. Anita assures him that they’ll make it right.

Later, Naomi and Chelsea ask Dani if she’s okay. They don’t understand what’s going on. Dani figures that Bill got to her parents somehow. They think of ways that they could ruin the wedding and sympathize with Dani’s feelings. They tell her, “We got you,” and they all huge.

Laura drives home, but someone behind her comes up, fast, with their brights on, and she’s run off the road. Leslie arrives at home, all dressed in a black motorcycle outfit. She smiles after taking off the helmet.

Update written by Suzanne

In Nicole’s office at the hospital, her young assistant, Laura, asks if she’s picked a recipient winner yet for the Dupree Heritage Foundation Scholarship. Nicole hasn’t yet. She’s having a hard time deciding between all of the wonderful young people. Her other assistant, Mona, who’s older, asks her to choose a menu for the upcoming Lynx brunch. Nicole asks her to email them to her, so she can decide later. Her husband, Ted, comes in and compliments her on her beauty and youthful good looks.

Martin and Vernon discuss Dani punching Hayley. Vernon thinks that physical violence is never the answer, but he understands how Dani feels. He can’t understand how Bill can treat her so badly in their divorce. Martin notes that Bill isn’t a decent man, which Hayley will no doubt find out.

Hayley and Bill chat briefly on the phone. She tells him that it’s “been a morning.”

At home, Dani watches photos of her and Bill on a slideshow. Anita walks in and wonders what she’s doing. Dani is remembering the good times she had with Bill She doesn’t understand how he could just throw their life away. Anita sits down near her. Dani hugs her mom and cries on her shoulder.

Vernon wonders whether everything is okay with Martin because he mentioned wanting more. Martin replies that his homelife is solid. He’s just wondering what his next challenge will be. Vernon promises to help him, and Martin mentions that Vernon has already done so much for him. He owes him everything.

Dani pulls away from her mom, saying that she doesn’t want to cry because it makes her weak. She expects that Anita is going to give her a hard time for punching Hayley. Anita tells her that she wasn’t thrilled about her display of temper. Dani rants some more about Hayley’s betrayal; she says that it felt good to punch her. Anita assures her that she’s human and that sometimes folks deserve a sucker punch. She worries that Dani will make it a habit. Dani confides that she thought she was okay when they signed the divorce papers, but Bill and Hayley having their wedding at the country club and then moving in to Fairmont Crest made her angry all over again. Anita lets her know that she didn’t do anything to deserve this treatment. She urges Dani to let go of her anger, or it will eat her alive. She reminds her that she’s a Dupree, so she needs to find her inner strength and not let the losers get the best of her.

Nicole tells Ted that Bill bought the house on Marigold, so Dani went ballistic. She fills him in on the punch. She sighs that she tries to be the voice of reason with Dani, but she’s angry at Bill and Hayley herself. Ted is sympathetic. They hope Dani can move on. Ted has to get to the hospital, so she asks him if he can come by for the video bio for their awards ceremony that Andre is filming. He replies that he’ll try to be there. She reminds him that he’s Andre’s favorite uncle. He suggests that they plan a family gathering while Andre is in town, so she agrees. He kisses her neck, saying she smells good. She chuckles and sends him off.

Nurse Ashley’s mom, Jan, shows up to bring her a healthy lunch at work. Leslie and her daughter, Eva, are also there with Jan. They’re very supportive of Ashley’s new career. Eva wishes she had done something more with her life than be a hairdresser. They all assure her that there’s nothing with that, and that women always needs their hair done. Ashley thanks Jan for being such a great single mom to her and sacrificing for her. They hug.

Martin and Vernon discuss the woman in the diner yesterday that was grateful to Vernon’s years of service as senator and civil rights champion, and who also appreciated Martin. Martin compliments Vernon and how much he admires him. He remembers watching him when he was young, demonstrating, and how he was committed to non-violence, even though he was behind bars sometimes. Vernon reminds him that he was just one of so many, like Dr. King and John Louis before him. Martin worries that he hasn’t always lived up to his grandfather’s standards, but Vernon is proud of him.

Dani, still with Anita, looks at Bill and Hayley’s wedding invitation. She wishes she could stop thinking about them, like Nicole suggested, but she gets upset every time she sees their wedding preparations, etc. She wonders if she should move. Anita tells her that would be unacceptable because she belongs there. She reminds Dani that her grandfather designed and built Fairmont Crest, and she’s not going to be chased out by these interlopers. She promises that this will all pass. She just needs to get through it. Dani doesn’t know how she could have been so blind about Bill and asks her mom if she ever suspected Bill was cheating on her with Hayley. Anita lets her know that she had no clue and reminds Dani that Bill and Hayler are expert liars. Dani tells her that she plans to put all of her time and energy into making them pay. Anita looks worried.

Hayley drops by to see Nicole, who’s not happy to see her.

Back at the hospital, Eva tells Ashley that she envies her job and her relationship with hot firefighter Derek. Ashley assures her that this was all careful planning, and things are working out the way they should. She hugs her mom. Jan, Leslie, and Eva go to the elevator. Ted walks out as Leslie watches him carefully, like she knows him.

Nicole’s two assistants chat. Laura is going to Maui with her boyfriend, David, and hopes he might propose. Mona suggests that she enjoy being young and free. She points out that she hasn’t known him very long. Laura agrees and asks if Mona ever regretted not getting married or having kids. Mona replies, “No, not even for a second.” She shares that marriage is not for everyone. Laura is happy to get advice from her and says she can be like the daughter she never had. Mona gives her a strange look.

Nicole can’t believe that Hayley is there. Hayley brought her some homemade cookies. She admits that Dani’s assault at the country club was mortifying. She’s willing to forget what she did, for the sake of peace. She wants Nicole to help her assimilate into the community because she used to like Hayley. Nicole is shocked that Hayley would think she would side with her over her sister. Her loyalties always lie with Dani, especially after the double-betrayal of her and Bill. She knows that Hayley used her friendship with Naomi to steal Bill. Hayley swears that she didn’t plan to fall in love or hurt anyone. She says that she “fell in love with an inconvenient man.” Nicole replies that she’s going to have to deal with the consequences. Hayley seems oblivious to what Nicole’s saying. She goes on to declare that the damage is already done, but her support could help her. She hopes that Dani will decide to accept her. She tried apologizing already, she pouts, but Dani can’t get past her anger. Nicole tells her that Dani is hurt. She tells Hayley to take her cookies and go.

At the hospital, Nicole welcomes Ashley to the hospital. Ashley meets Shanice Johnson, her preceptor AKA her trainer. They shake hands. Shanice is impressed that Ashley knew what a preceptor is. She says that she’ll be teaching her many things, to take notes, ask questions and ask for help. Ashley follows her.

Vernon rants more to Martin about how Bill has trashed his family. He states that Anita had the right instincts about Bill. She kept him at a distance, whereas he gave him the benefit of the doubt because Dani loved him. He helped him with his practice and shared his connections with celebrities. Martin talks about Bill’s ego and how he’s a control freak and narcissist. Vernon is happy to see the end of Bill and his connection to their family.

Hayley goes to Bill’s office. He notices that her cheek is red, so she tells him that’s from Dani’s fist. Shocked and angry, he takes out his phone, but she tells him to let it go. It’s her battle, not his. She recovered from the slap with her head held high. Dani needed the win, she says graciously. He agrees, reluctantly. She pouts about her morning, which she thought would be great, since she was picking up the keys to their new home. First Vanessa gave her an earful, then Dani, and then Nicole. He can’t believe that she went to see Nicole. She thought that Nicole, being a psychologist, would be more objective. He guesses that didn’t go well. She tells him that Nicole sent her and her cookies packing. She wonders if they should elope or go to Vegas rather than have their wedding at the country club. He asks if she wants to have it there, and she does, but she doesn’t want it to be just work friends and people he knows. He thinks he can fix it.

At home, Dani gets dressed to the nines in a beautiful blue dress. She looks at the photo of her and Bill, which is cracked. She takes a shot for courage and then does her makeup.

Martin’s husband, Dani, Smitty, is on the phone with someone as he carries a basket of laundry down some stairs. He tells the person on the line that he has to make a decision. He thanks them for checking. Martin comes home, and they hug.

Andre flirts with Ashley again at the hospital. He asks if she’s still with the firefighter who stole her away. She chuckles that they were never together and makes fun of him for flirting. He takes some photos of her before he leaves, which she doesn’t see. Shanice warns Ashley against Andre, saying she doesn’t want to end up as another notch on his belt.

Vernon answers the doorbell at home when it rings. He sees Bill and tells him that he’s not welcome. Bill says amiably that he heard about the incident at the country club. He thinks this was “not cool” of Dani. Vernon asks him impatiently what he wants. Bill wants a favor from him – he wants Hayley to have guests at her wedding. He knows that Vernon can get his family and others to attend. Vernon tells him that the Dupree women want nothing to do with him or the wedding, so he can’t help him. Bill reminds him that he’s done many favors for him and his family when they needed help. Vernon glares at him as he leaves.

Eva and her mom, Leslie, are at home, plotting something. Leslie offers to do this thing without Eva being involved. Eva tells her that she’s already involved and they need to do this. She insists that Leslie deserves better.

Martin’s husband, Smitty, massages his shoulders on the couch. Martin is frustrated about how long things take in Congress. He tells him that he’s enjoyed spending time with his granddad. It reminds him of his legacy. He mentions that they adopted Samantha and Tyrell. Smitty can’t believe they’re teens already. He tells Martin that Tyrell passed his calculus test. Martin wonders if that is good enough. Smitty thinks that’s the best he can do right now. That makes Martin wonder what’s going on, so Smitty informs him that Tyrell is going through something right now… He’s been more standoffish and quiet. Martin also asks him if they should allow Samantha, who’s 16, to date. Smitty thinks that giving their permission is better than her sneaking around. Martin suggests half-jokingly that he tag along.

Vernon greets Anita when she returns home. He tells her that they have a problem.

Ted and Nicole are in her office. Andre arrives and compliments the warmth of her office. He wants to capture it on film. He also likes Ted’s practice, which has nice grounds. After Andre leaves, Ted says wistfully that Andre reminds him so much of his late brother. He’s also very glad to be with her.

Vernon fills Anita in on what Bill said. They agree that they have to protect Martin as they clasp hands.

Dani marches into Bill’s office, ignoring the receptionists that try to stop her. She grabs one of his golf clubs, sweeps everything off his desk with it, and then waves it at him threateningly. (The other people in the office scurry out of the way as she does this) She calls him a sorry S.O.B.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

[“Best of My Love” by the Emotions playing]

Calvin: Good morning, Mrs. Dupree.

Anita: Good morning, Calvin.

Calvin: You look radiant.

Anita: Thank you.

Calvin: And top of the morning to you, Dr. Richardson. May I take your coat?

Nicole: Yes, thank you.

Calvin: Always a pleasure. Let me know if either of you need anything.

Thank you.

Nicole: Mother, you look beautiful as usual.

Anita: Looking pretty swank yourself. Have you spoken to Dani?

Nicole: I texted. No response.

Anita: Well, I hope no news is good news and Dani’s not out there giving her emotions free reign. If so, God help us all.

Anita: How are the boys, Jerome?

Jerome: Oh, you know, this time of year, busy, busy, busy.

Anita: Thank you, Jerome.

Jerome: Oh, my pleasure. Please, enjoy your breakfast.

Anita: Thank you. It never ceases to amaze me how two sisters can grow up in the same environment with the same advantages and turn out completely different.

Nicole: One of the things I’ve learned from my patients… People are born who they are. Outside influence either takes or doesn’t.

Anita: Dani is exactly herself. A force of nature with no apologies. My little force of nature is all over the place right now. Truthfully, I can’t fault her for that. Dani was blindsided by Bill and Hayley’s affair. And she surely never anticipated the end of her marriage. But here’s what I don’t understand, Nicole. Bill moved out months ago. I thought Dani had come to some sort of acceptance.

Nicole: She was getting there. But literally, the minute the divorce is final, Bill and Hayley are booking the country club for their wedding. Set Dani off again.

Dani: Morning, Vanessa.

Vanessa: Oh, well, so much for stop by for a cup of coffee.

Dani: Plenty more mugs where those came from.

Vanessa: Is that? You still have the wedding invitation. Why didn’t you do what everyone else in Fairmont did and toss it in the garbage?

Dani: It’s the audacity. I can’t get over it. It’s bad enough Bill’s marrying that traitor. But to do it here? I will be the laughingstock of Fairmont.

Vanessa: Who are you? And what have you done with Dani? You are picking a hell of a time to start caring about what people think. Besides You’re not factoring in the Dupree of it all. Your family rules this community. Your grandfather built it. Everyone’s on your side.

Dani: Be nice to think so.

Vanessa: Fact! Know what you need? Dedicated spa time. Get your head out of Bill and Hayley for a couple hours and put yourself in therapeutic hands.

Dani: Tempting. Maybe later. I have to meet my mother and sister at the club. They’re worried about me.

Anita: I never did care for Bill. Oh, I put on a good show for the sake of peace in the family, but There were red flags from the very beginning.. Even when he was hiding behind that public servant persona No, that didn’t last long soon as Bill married Dani his true ambition came out just in time to use your father for a leg up Once the criminal law practice took off, we got the real Bill Hamilton with his shiny suits and pocket squares. That calculated charm reminded me of some of the shadier denizens of the music business. Oh, they charm you silly while they took everything. Your money, your gift, your talent, your looks, your pride. Too many talented girls fell into that trap and were never heard from again.

Nicole: Not you.

Anita: I kept my eye on the prize. I was going to be the best at anything I took on. And I wanted to take on the world. No way was I going to be seduced off my path by some jive turkey trying to get over.

Nicole: Well, I wish Dani inherited that gene.

Anita: I often think how different her life would be if she didn’t give up her career for Bill. I tried to warn her. Use your father as an example. Vernon embraced who I was. Never once tried to change me. But, you know your sister. Gets her mind set and that’s it. Nothing would do but to become Mrs. Bill Hamilton. And here we are. Bill’s about to marry the proverbial younger woman and Dani’s a powder keg primed to explode.

Nicole: Naomi.

Anita: She’s still joining us?

Nicole: Just running late. Says something came up.

Ashley: Derek! You didn’t have to do this.

Derek: Sure I did. My lady’s turning the page on a brand new chapter. You need to meet it well fortified.

Ashley: Wow.

Derek: Welcome to the rest of your life, Nurse Ashley Morgan.

Dani: Hang tight, I just got a touch base with Chelsea.

Chelsea: Hey, Mom, what’s up?

Dani: I’m just calling to remind you about your wardrobe fitting later today.

Chelsea: Believe it or not, I know how to keep a calendar.

Dani: Well, it is my job to make sure you are where you’re supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. And so far, I think it’s served you well. Agreed?

Chelsea: Whatever, gotta go.

Dani: Ungrateful little brat.

Vanessa: Do me a favor. Don’t channel your anger and frustration with Bill into riding poor Chelsea. I don’t think you realize the pressure you put on that girl.

Dani: Well, excuse me while I find my tiny violin. Chelsea is a successful model making big bucks. She’s got millions of followers on social media eager to like and copy whatever she does.

Vanessa: It’s a life any 23 year old would kill for. The life you wanted.

Dani: The life I had.

Vanessa: I wish I’d known you in your modeling days. You must have been something.

Dani: Those were some good times. I had so much to prove. That I was grown, even though I was a baby. That I could make it doing what I wanted to do. The entire time terrified out of my mind. But I pulled it off. Fake it till you make it? That was me. The most seemingly confident 17 year old ever on the planet. Until Chelsea came along.

Chelsea: Just when I think mom can’t be a bigger control freak, my phone rings again. Oh, God, Kat, I hate my life.

Kat: We’ll be changing it soon enough. In the meantime, embrace what you do. People will be interested in our brand because you’re Chelsea Hamilton. Fashion icon and social media influencer. We’ll be tapping into that a lot, so don’t knock it.

Chelsea: I just want to get on with it, you know? Once we launch my purse line, we’ll be on our way to giving the Kardashians a run for their money. I’m just not sure about the timing. Mom’s a pain, but it doesn’t feel right to walk out on her just yet.

Kat: But we agreed on a timetable.

Chelsea: I know, I know, but that was before Dad dumped Mom for Hayley. And these last few weeks, since the divorce was finalized and wedding prep started at the club, Mom’s been like insane. If I quit now, she’ll have lost everything that defines her. She gets on my nerves, but that’s my mom. I love her, and I don’t know if I can pull that trigger.

Anita: Mmm. Don’t think all this focus on Dani has made me forget you’re being honored. Now, what’s this award again? I mean, there are so many, it’s hard to keep track.

Nicole: Look who’s talking, Miss EGOT. It’s the State of Maryland Distinguished Service Award in Psychiatry.

Anita: Right. Vernon received one for his work in the movement.

Nicole: It’s a nice plaque.

Anita: It is a fitting tribute for the wonderful, healing work that you do. You consistently make your father and me very proud. Sometimes we don’t say that enough.

Wedding Planner: The wedding’s just a couple days away and you still haven’t given me a final headcount.

Hayley: I’d like all invited guests to be accommodated.

Wedding Planner: I’m sorry, I thought most of them either hadn’t responded or they sent regrets.

Hayley: True, but I’m an optimist by nature. Don’t worry about cost, money’s no object. Excuse me.

Hayley: Dani. Wait.

Dani: What?

Hayley: There it is. The animosity. Feels like something physical. I hate it, Dani. You, Chelsea, especially Naomi. We’re like the family I never had. We were close. And I realized that I can never have it back in that way, but surely there’s something we can salvage.

Dani: You really are a piece of work. I thought we were close too, Hayley. So did Naomi, your so-called best friend. We opened our hearts to the poor little orphan girl all alone in the world. Made a place for you at our table. And you paid us back by stealing Bill? My husband? My daughter’s father?

Hayley: I didn’t intend to hurt anyone.

Dani: How do you live with yourself? How do you look yourself in the mirror every day and walk around this world thinking you’re a good person when you betrayed the people who cared about you? And now you want it to be what? Bygones?

Hayley: If we could just find a way to be civil.

Dani: Back up, Hayley. This conversation is over.

Ashley: Do you have any idea how much I appreciate you? You’ve always been so patient and supportive. I know it hasn’t always been easy.

Derek: Right. Because being with you is such hardship.

Ashley: And to be frustrating. All those nights you wanted to make plans like a normal couple and I blew you off to go study.

Derek: Garland Memorial has no idea what an asset it’s getting today.

Ashley: I’ve wanted this all my life. When I was little. Every Halloween I had to be a nurse. Somehow I knew it was important work even though I didn’t quite understand what that work was. And it meant easing pain. Saving lives. Being of comfort. ”

Derek: You’ll be great. Know why? Because you’re one of the most selfless people I have ever known.

Ashley: I’m honored that you love me.

Dani: Well, I just ran into Hayley. Do you know how much I loathe that woman?

Anita: Well, good morning to you too.

Dani: I can’t believe I let myself be taken in by that cheap conniver. I trusted her. Hell, I’m the one who convinced Bill to hire her. Let’s all laugh about that. Meanwhile, she’s moving in on him. I’m no Hayley fan by any means, but last time I checked, it takes two. And I’m willing to bet Bill was the instigator.

Wouldn’t have been the first time he cheated.

Dani: Look, I’m not making any excuses, but before Hayley, Bill kept his affairs away from home, which made it easier to pretend it wasn’t happening. He got with Hayley right under our roof. I will never forget either of them for that.

Caroline: Law offices of Bill Hamilton Esquire. How may I help you? I’ll let him know. Thank you.

Bill: What is with this schedule? You do realize I’m getting married at the week.

Caroline: I also know you’ll be taking off on your honeymoon, which is why I’ve scheduled you within an inch of your life for the next two days.

Bill: Well, hopefully none of my clients will commit a heinous crime this week. Is Hayley in?

Caroline: At the new house, picking up the keys.

Bill: You know what this is, Caroline?

Caroline: What?

Bill: A new dawn.

Hayley: Hey, Vanessa.

Vanessa: Hayley.

Hayley: You realize that’s the last time I’ll ever have to ring that doorbell? Finally getting the keys to our brand new home. I can’t believe I’m going to be living in Fairmont Crest.

Vanessa: Frankly, neither can I. Mind if I ask, what are you thinking?

Hayley: Excuse me?

Vanessa: You and Bill could live anywhere. Instead, you choose Dani’s community, and make no mistake, it is Dani’s community. Not Bill’s. And these upstanding citizens will rally around all things Dupree and freeze you out.

Hayley: Sell many homes with that negative attitude?

Vanessa: The women who live inside these gates? You’re their worst nightmare. The sexy younger husband thief.

Hayley: But it wasn’t like that. Bill and I didn’t set out to fall in love. Trust me, life would be a lot easier.

Vanessa: No one will care how you justify it. You’ll be a social outcast.

Hayley: Well, I’m choosing to stay positive. Sure, it’ll take time to be accepted. I’m sure Dani’s poisoning everyone against me. But, I am confident that if I’m patient and persistent, things will work out. They always do. I assume the designer has finished furnishing the house?

Vanessa: All done.

Hayley: Excellent. I can’t wait to take a look around. Thanks so much for your help and your discretion.

Vanessa: Just doing my job. Good luck, honey. You’re going to need it.

Oh, Congressman Richardson, man. Good to see you.

Martin: Good to be seen.

Will you be having the usual?

The usual it is.

Martin: Granddad.

Vernon: Martin.

Martin: You’re looking awfully pleased with yourself.

Vernon: Taking a moment of reflection.

Martin: Well, it’s good to appreciate your blessings. Yeah, show gratitude, and God will keep them coming. Words to live by?

Vernon: Uh, look no further than here. I got a magical wife, and she can sing. Beautiful family. I’ve managed to do some good in this world. Of course, a lot of that hard work is being undone, but my grandson is in the trenches. Yeah, doing his part. To make it right. And I get to cheer him on from the sidelines in retired glory. What, what’s not to be grateful for? A life well lived, indeed.

Martin: And I still want to be just like you when I grow up.

Vernon: I’d say you’re about half way there. Making a difference for your constituents. Solid marriage. Couple of terrific kids.

Martin: I know, but…

Vernon: But what?

Martin: I want more. I just haven’t figured out what more is yet.

Jacob: So what’s your day like, bae?

Naomi: Um, settlement conference this afternoon. But first order of business is checking in on mom.

Jacob: Well, have you spoken to your dad?

Naomi: No. That’s the way I like it.

Jacob: You and your dad used to be tight, Naomi.

Naomi: Yeah, well, that was a long time ago. And apparently not tight enough to stop him from sleeping with my so called best friend. You know what? I don’t want to talk about him. Especially when you’re standing there all fine in plain clothes, distracting me again. I swear, Jacob Hawthorne, you make it hard to leave this house. Here’s a thought. Let’s not. Let’s cancel everything but each other today.

Jacob: Come on. Baby, you know I want to. But the D.C. Metro Police Department frowns on a brand new robbery homicide detectives playing hooky with their wives.

Naomi: I don’t know about this new gig of yours, then. When you were a beat cop, we got to sneak in breaks.

Jacob: Well, that just means I have to work harder when I get home there, right? Or, before you leave Oh, Naomi Hamilton iPhone?

Naomi: Hmm. Yeah, we’re bad, know that? It’s the way you like it, right?

Jacob: Yeah.

How is it?

Vernon: Pretty good. As usual.

Bessie: I am so sorry to interrupt.

Vernon: That’s why we’re here. To be accessible to the community. What’s on your mind?

Bessie: When I glanced over here and I saw one of my heroes, Vernon Dupree, That’s an honor.

Vernon: Aren’t you kind. What’s your name?

Bessie: I’m Bessie. I was involved in the movement back in the 70’s, too. Now, I wasn’t as good as you, of course, but I did do my time.

Vernon: How awesome is that?

Bessie: I’m a big fan of Anita’s as well. Her group was so inspirational. It’s just living proof that black girls can come right out of their projects and conquer the world. Well, I’m not going to take any more of your time. I just wanted to let you know that your service in the movement and also as a senator is much, much appreciated.

Vernon: It was my privilege. Thank you for stopping by, Bessie.

Bessie: Thank you, Senator. Have a good day.

Vernon: Is that right there? That’s the kind of interaction that wins voters permanently. The small, personal moments. People never forget them.

Martin: Voters don’t forget a brush with greatness, either. You’re an icon, Granddad. And there’s no doubt about that.

Bill: Ha ha ha! Wayne! It’s been too long, man.

Wayne: Thanks for seeing me on such short notice. I know you’re busy.

Bill: Aw, come on, man. Never too busy for an old friend. I still miss seeing you out in the field, by the way. You’re not here to rehash your glory days. How can I help you?

Wayne: It’s my son. He’s in serious trouble.

Bill: Why don’t you let me be the judge of that? Here, sit. Tell me what’s going on.

Wayne: Terry has a drug problem. He broke into someone’s home and he stole money and jewelry. And a security camera got a clear shot of him and he got arrested.

Bill: Is he in custody?

Wayne: No, I was able to bail him out. But the victims are determined to press charges.

Bill: Okay, and they are?

Wayne: Um, uh, Jerry and Diana Overton.

Bill: Oh, he owns World Tech Innovations.

Wayne: I don’t want my son’s life to be trashed before it’s even started. So I was hoping It’s you could represent him.

Bill: I’ll do even better than that. I’ll make the whole thing go away.

Dani: Every time I think about Hayley, another blood vessel explodes in my head.

Nicole: Here’s a suggestion. Don’t. Don’t think about Hayley or Bill. They’re not worth it.

Dani: Well, it must be wonderful to be you. With your perfect husband, and your perfect marriage, no must, no fuss, right? Just smooth sailing through life with a man who not only wouldn’t cheat on you, but also doesn’t seem to know that any other woman exists on the planet.

Anita: Don’t be snarky with your sister. Nicole’s just trying to help.

Nicole: It’s okay. I recognize I’ve been luckier in love than Dani. Blessed in a way she hasn’t. She needs to take pot shots at me to feel better. I’m good with it.

Dani: Thank you for your permission, Nicole. I just truly wonder if you think that telling me to not think about Bill and Hayley is at all helpful.

Anita: Okay, I know this isn’t easy, but Nicole is not wrong. Obsessing over what’s past isn’t hurting the two of them. They’re moving forward, post haste. But it’s keeping you stuck in a cycle of anger, and that isn’t healthy, baby.

Dani: Oh, I’ll be healthy again. As soon as I make a couple of cheaters pay for blowing up my life.

Ashley: These last two years with you have been the best ever.

Derek: I feel the same way. I can’t imagine my life without you anymore.

Ashley: Good. Because I’m not going anywhere.

Derek: Except the hospital. We gotta hit.

Ashley: What? Wait, you’re taking me?

Derek: And picking you up. You get the full service from me today.

Ashley: Oh really? I’m gonna hold you to that later.

Derek: Please do.

Ashley: I love you, Derek. You’re the only man I’ll ever want.

Derek: It’s go time. Ready?

Ashley: Ready.

Jacob: What’s that, babe?

Naomi: It’s a gift for Ashley.

Jacob: Jacob: Oh yeah, it’s her first day on the job. Wait, what’d we get her?

Naomi: A stethoscope on a chain.

Jacob: Oh, okay. I mean, that’s cool, right?

Naomi:I, uh, got you something, too. Actually, it’s for both of us.

Jacob: Oh, yeah? Mm hmm. Well, let’s see. Really?

Naomi:Now, I expect my detective husband to arrest me tonight for a serious crime.

Jacob: Well, I’ll drum up the charges and wrap the warrant.

Naomi:Okay.

Jacob: Turn around.

Naomi:Oh, my God!

So what am I looking at here? Golf for business or pleasure?

Martin: For inspiration. A couple of kids in my district expressed interest. Granddad and I are going to give them a crash course on the basics. Expand their horizons a little.

Anita: I love that about you. Always looking to inspire our youth. Turn them on to something new. I’m so proud of you, son.

Dani: On that, my sister and I can agree.

Uh oh. You two disagreeing?

Nicole: Mother and I are trying to convince Dani Bill is not worth the grief she’s putting herself through.

Dani: And I resent the implication that I created the situation.

No one is saying that.

Dani: Good. Because I’m not the one who cheated. Ever. I was the one who was cheated on. Dumped. Remember?

I’m sorry. I’m with Mom and Grandmother. Good riddance to that guy. You’re better off without him.

Dani: Well, what all you well meaning people don’t seem to understand is that Bill and I got married when I was 19. My entire adult life revolved around him and our family.

Nicole: Erasing yourself was your first mistake.

Anita: Let Dani have her say.

Dani: Right, wrong, indifferent, that’s how it was. Bill’s world that I lived in. My focus was the home that I created for him, the daughters I gave him. Now the girls are out of the house, Bill is gone, everything. Every routine that was familiar has been upended. And that wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. Bill and I were supposed to be together forever. That was the pact.

Right.

Dani: But he broke it. And I don’t know what to do with that. It’s, it’s confusing. It’s angering. And I have every right to those feelings.

Vernon: Yes, you do. Just remember, you’ve given that man power he didn’t earn. That devotion you gave to Bill? He threw it back in your face. And he walked away with his little chippy. He is unworthy of even one of your tears. But come on now. Who’s the best?

Dani: Me.

Vernon: Who’s the brightest?

Dani: Me.

Vernon: That’s right. Never forget that.

Dani: Maybe you’re all right. Maybe I should just let go.

Anita: If you can do that, praise Jesus.

Chelsea: Check out granddad working his magic. He actually got Mom to laugh. Didn’t realize how much I miss hearing that.

Kat: Can I ask you a question?

Chelsea: When did you start checking first?

Kat: You haven’t said much about your father. Maybe you’d rather not go there?

Chelsea: Nothing’s off limits with us, Kat. You’re not just my cousin, you’re my best friend. Ask whatever you want. Do you hate him?

Kat: I hate what he did. The awful way he treated my mom. Like all their years together. Our family meant nothing. But he’s my dad. I don’t know how to hate him.

Naomi: Wanna take lessons from me?

Chelsea: Hey, sis.

Naomi: Chelsea, Kat.

You okay?

I’m good.

Am I hallucinating or is our mother actually smiling?

I know, right? Long time no see. I think we should take advantage of the sun while it’s out.

Bill: All done. The Overtons won’t be pressing charges.

Wayne: That was amazing.

Bill: Connections and favors, man. That’s what makes the world go round.

Wayne: Whatever you charge, it’s well worth the cost.

Bill: No, no, no charge.

Wayne: You’re kidding? You just saved my kid.

Bill: All I did was make a phone call. You just owe me one. You see? It all balances out.

Vernon: So there I was, middle of the night, dead of winter, trying to not only find a store that was open, But one that sold Asian pears. I never even heard of Asian pears. But that’s what my pregnant wife wanted, so off I went.

What can I say? Dani was demanding even in the womb.

Nicole: That’s my sister. Difficult from the jump.

Dani: Don’t hate because I know what I want.

Anita: And you managed to find a couple too. A little bruised, but you weren’t gonna hear me complain.

Martin: Your dedication to a cause is truly a thing of wonder, Granddad.

Oh, you know how Daddy is when it comes to his baby girl. What Dani wants, Dani gets.

Vernon: Oh, it wasn’t about Dani. It was about this woman right here. If Anita asked, I’d run through fire then and now.

Hi. Hope you’re paying attention. That’s relationship goals right there.

Naomi: Nope, not interested. It’s a single life for me.

Anita: Oh, you just haven’t met the one yet. When you do, you’ll change your tune.

Nicole: Or not. There is nothing wrong with being single.

This from the woman who’s been married most of her life.

Mm hmm. You’re gonna be alright, sissy.

Hmm.

Andre: Congratulations. Uh, Nicole told me you were starting today.

Ashley: Look who landed. The elusive Andre Richardson. We haven’t seen much of you lately.

Andre: Yeah, I’ve been keeping busy.

Ashley: Jet-setting around, taking amazing pictures of tropical islands and luxury resorts.

Andre: Yeah, it’s a dirty job.

Ashley: What brings you home? Is it a hit and run, or are you staying a while?

Andre: Uh, I’m in between gigs. So I offered to shoot on Nicole’s video bio for her latest award. Yeah, I’m checking out the hospital for potential locations. And since I’m around, I volunteered to shoot a fashion layout for Chelsea. After that, I’m open. Especially to suggestions from the lovely Nurse Ashley.

Bill: Hey babe, how’s the house?

Hayley: Uh, above and beyond my wildest dreams, babe.

Bill: Hey, that was the plan, right? Where are you now?

Hayley: I’m at the country club, about to go to the restaurant for a bite. I am famished.

Bill: So am I, but not for food. I was thinking we could meet at my hotel suite this afternoon.

Hayley: We might be able to work something out one last time before the wedding.

Bill: One last time?

Hayley: Yes.

Anita: Vernon and I make it a practice to count our blessings and express gratitude every day. And this is today’s moment for me. Of course, it’s trying time because one of our own is in pain. But it warms my heart to see this beautiful family that Vernon and I created together in this way. To think, a march on Washington in the 70s resulted in the existence of such remarkable, accomplished human beings. I am so proud of each and every one of you.

Vanessa: Sorry to hit and run, but Vanessa McBride Realty is popping and I’ve got a showing. As the seller’s agent, I’ve been bound by confidentiality. But now that we’ve closed, I wanted you guys to hear it from me. The home that was for sale on Marigold Road? Bill bought it.

Wait. In Fairmont?

Vanessa: Hayley picked up the keys this morning.

Dani: Are you freaking kidding me? So now the plan is to flaunt this woman in my face forever?

You’re right. It’s outrageous, but what can we do? Bill can buy wherever he chooses.

Vanessa: I’m sorry to dump this on you, but I really have to go.

Dani: I don’t believe this. They’re moving in and I’m just supposed to lie down for this? I’m done being disrespected. Done.

Baby, now…

Dani: You have a hell of a lot of nerve. Getting married at the country club is disrespectful enough. But then you and Bill leave. It’s one thing to move into this community? Expect me to live down the way from my cheating ex husband and his piece of trash new wife while you all go on about your Married business having no consequences for what you did? No That will not happen

Hayley: Dani…You’re upset. I get that Let’s not do this.

Dani: Shut up – I’m talking. You could have stopped this, Hayley. You could have dug way down for a shred of decency and told Bill that buying here was not only a terrible idea, it was heartless. You could have told him that the two of you had inflicted enough damage. And you could have stayed in the home that Bill bought when he left. Or moved to another community. But you went along with living in Fairmont. Who knows? Maybe it was your idea. Well, let me be the first to give you a housewarming present.

Woman at bar: Welcome to Fairmont Crest.

Beyond The Gates Updates

 

BTG logo

Update written by Suzanne

First, some family background to help you out: The main family of this soap is the wealthy Dupree family. Grandfather Vernon was an activist and senator. His wife, Anita, was a singer who raised their family and supported his work (Both are now retired). Anita dresses in fancy clothes, but with her own personal tastes. Everyone on the show dresses very well. They have two daughters: Dani (a former model) and Nicole, a successful doctor. Nicole is married to a surgeon, Ted. They have two children: Martin, an ambitious congressman, and Kat, who’s starting a business with her cousin, Chelsea. Ted has a nephew, Andre, who’s a photographer. Martin is gay and has a husband, Smitty, a former reporter. They have two teens, Tyrell and Samantha. Dani has two daughters, Naomi and Chelsea. Her ex-husband, Bill, is a savvy attorney. He and Dani are divorced, and he’s marrying a former family friend, Hayley. Naomi’s best friend is Ashley, a nurse. Ashley is married to Derek, a firefighter. Naomi’s boyfriend is Jacob, a police detective.

SUMMARY:

Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson drives her car into the gated community of Fairmont Crest while the song “Best of My Love” by The Emotions plays. She and her mom, Anita Dupree, are welcomed into the country club restaurant by the host, Calvin (clearly they eat there a lot). Anita and Nicole hug and sit down. They talk about Dani, another daughter, who’s supposed to be there, but neither has heard from her. Anita hopes that Dani isn’t giving her emotions free freight. The waiter, Jerome, greets them. Anita sighs that Nicole and Dani are so different. They talk about how Dani’s ex-husband, Bill, cheated on her with Hayley. Dani is still reeling from the end of her marriage, and now that Bill and Hayley are getting married there at the club, it’s set her off again (even though she and Bill have been divorced for a while now).

Dani is in her kitchen, looking upset and making coffee. She has two mugs. She throws one across the room. It smashes against the wall. She tries to calm down, but instead, she throws the other mug, too. Her good friend Vanessa drops by for a visit. She sees the mug debris on the floor and makes a funny comment. She can’t believe it when she sees that Dani still has the invitation to Bill and Hayley’s wedding. She thinks Dani should have thrown it into the garbage like most people have. Dani feels humiliated, but Vanessa assures her that she shouldn’t be embarrassed because her family rules Fairmont. She suggests they have a spa day to make her feel better. Dani likes the idea, but she has to meet her mom and sister.

Anita mentions to Nicole that she never liked Bill and felt that he just used them to get ahead and become more upper crust. It reminds her of how men acted in the music business (when she was a singer years ago). She wishes Dani had taken her advice and not given up her modeling career. Naomi texts Nicole to let her know that she’s running late. Naomi, meanwhile, is having sex with her husband, Jacob Hawthorne.

New nurse Ashley Morgan is greeted by her husband, Derek, in their kitchen. He is wearing pants and an apron (no shirt) as he offers her breakfast. He wanted to do something special for her on her first day as nurse.

Dani phones her daughter, Chelsea, to remind her about her wardrobe fitting later on. Chelsea is annoyed that her mom doesn’t think she can handle her life. After she gets off the phone, Dani remarks to Vanessa that her daughter is a brat. Chelsea is a model (and influencer) like Dani was when she was younger. Vanessa wishes she had known Dani back when she was a model. Dani speaks fondly of those days, saying that she faked confidence that she didn’t have.

Chelsea gripes about her mom to her cousin, Kat. Kat reminds her that they’re going to be starting their new line of purses, so they will be making their mark. Chelsea isn’t sure that she wants to abandon her mom just yet.

Nicole is going to receive an important award, so Anita tells her that she’s very proud of her. Nearby, Hayley is chatting with her wedding planner – giving her instructions. The planner points out that most of the invited guests haven’t responded, but Hayley dismisses the idea that there is any problem. She spies Dani, who’s just walked in. Hayley tells her that she’s upset that Dani and her family all hate her. She wonders if they can salvage their relationships. Dani tears into her for stealing Bill, saying that she betrayed them all. Hayley asks if they can find a way to be civil to each other, but Dani’s not having it.

Ashley thanks Derek for his support, as she sits on his lap. He is proud of her starting her new job as a nurse at Garland Memorial. He praises her for being so selfless, and they kiss.

Dani arrives at the table where Anita and Nicole sit, griping about Hayley. They remind her that Bill is also to blame, and in fact, he cheated before that. Dani is aware of that, but is more insulted that he slept with the woman that they had taken in, right under their roof. Dani makes fun of Nicole having the perfect husband and family.

Bill arrives at his office. His assistant, Caroline, has given him a very heavy schedule. She knows that he’ll be off on his honeymoon soon, so that’s why she’s given him so much to do before that. Bill tells her earnestly that “This is a new dawn.”

Hayley gets the keys for her new home in Fairmont Crest from Vanessa, her realtor. Vanessa wonders why she and Bill picked the same community where Bill’s family lives. She points out that everyone will freeze Hayley out, socially, thinking of her as the “sexy, younger, husband thief.” Hayley is optimistic that people will come around. Vanessa wishes her luck, sarcastically, saying that she’s going to need it.

Vernon, Anita’s retired Senator husband, meets his grandson, Martin, at a diner called Orphy Gene’s. It’s clear that they go there often. Vernon counts his many blessings and praises Martin for following in his footsteps to make a difference in their community. Martin declares that he wants more, but he’s not sure what that is yet.

Naomi checks in via text with her mom and Dani. She undresses Jacob again, to have more sex. Jacob is a police detective at the DC police department.

A woman, Bessy, walks up to Vernon and Martin at the diner. She chats with them about how she was also involved with the civil rights movement in the 70’s. She admires Anita as well, and his work as a senator. They shake hands, and he’s glad to hear from her. Vernon points out to Martin that this is the best way to get people to vote for you – talking to them personally and giving them attention.

A man named Wayne (a former football player) visits Bill in his office to ask him for help. He tells him that his son, Terry, was arrested. He’d gotten in trouble with drugs, so he broke into someone’s home to steal jewelry and cash. He tells Bill that the couple he stole from were Diana and Jerry Overton. Bill tells him that he’ll make this go away.

Dani and Nicole bicker (in front of Anita) about marriage. Naomi thinks that Dani should stop obsessing about Bill and Hayley; Anita agrees. Dani doesn’t like that advice and wants to make the cheaters pay.

Derek leaves with Ashley, saying that he’ll take her to the hospital and pick her up after her shift. She’s impressed with how much he’s spoiling her. They kiss.

Naomi tells Jacob that she has a gift for Ashley – a stethoscope on a nice chain. She also got him a gift: pink, fuzzy handcuffs. He puts them on her

Vernon and Martin join Anita, Dani and Nicole. Dani vents that everything she had is one, telling Nicole that she has a right to her feelings. Vernon says soothing things to Dani, which calms her down. He agrees with her, saying that Bill is not worth her tears. They do a little verbal thing that seems like they’ve done it many times in the past, where he gets her to say that she’s the best and brightest. She agrees to let it go.

Chelsea and Kat sit nearby, admiring how Vernon got Dani to cheer up and actually laugh. Naomi comes in and joins them. Chelsea’s not sure how she feels about hating her dad for all he did, but Naomi already feels that way. They go over to join the rest of the family in the lounge.

Ashley starts her first day as nurse at the hospital.

Bill gets the Overtons to drop the charges. Wayne is astonished and how quickly that happened. He’s even more shocked when Bill tells him that there’ll be no charge. Bill tells him that he owes him one.

Vernon tells his family a story (that they’ve probably heard many times already) about trying to find Asian pears when Anita was pregnant with Dani. They talk about family and marriage. Naomi says she plans to stay single. Nicole tells her that there’s nothing wrong with that.

At the hospital, Andre, a photographer (Naomi’s husband’s nephew), chats with Ashley and congratulates her on her first day. He flirts with her as well.

Bill has a short video chat with Hayley. They make a date to have some sexy time in his hotel room.

Vanessa arrives at the club briefly to tell Dani that Bill and Hayley bought a house in Fairmont Crest. Dani is outraged, saying that she’s done being disrespected. She approaches Hayley and yells at her for moving into the house. She slaps Hayley, hard. The rest of the family each glare at Hayley as they walk out, one at a time. A woman sitting nearby, played by guest star Karen Huger of “The Real Housewives of The Potomac.” She says to Hayley, “Welcome to Fairmont Crest.”

Recap written by Michele & Cheryl

Dani and Andre were together in bed. She agreed with Andre that their night felt like a dream. Their night had to stay a dream. She didn’t regret being with him, but she’s not ready to get involved with anyone right now. Andre was fine with keeping things casual between them. He reminded her that she had options if she got lonely. Andre thought she should let her neighbors see him leaving her house. It would prove to everyone that she was over Bill. Dani had a problem with that plan. She wasn’t over Bill. Later, Dani went to see Bill to beg him not to go through with the wedding. She wanted him to come home to her. Dani thought they could be a stronger couple than they were before. It couldn’t happen if he went through with that farce of a wedding. Bill seemed to contemplate her offer. He let her know that she was his everything. They talked about what it was like when they first met each other. Bill remembered how beautiful she was when they met. The memory makes what happened harder. It was hard to watch how desperate she’s become. He wondered what happened to the woman he fell in love with. Dani was hurt by his comments. He was the reason she’s acting that way. Bill advised her to be the bigger person and forgive Hayley. Dani didn’t want to hear what he had to say anymore. Andre went to Garland Memorial Hospital and asked Kat for information about Ashley. Ted and Nicole talked about Andre falling for Ashley. Nicole didn’t think he would feel that way about her for long. Andre always falls in and out of love with women.

They got trapped in the elevator with a pregnant patient who went into labor. Everyone arrived at Bill and Hayley’s wedding. The guests were dressed in black. Bill wasn’t happy about the guests dressing for a funeral. Vernon warned him that he was burying his influence on his family. It’s the last favor Bill’s going to get from them. After talking to Vernon, Bill tried to apologize to Dani for the way he talked to her earlier, but she wasn’t ready to forgive him. She hoped that her presence at the wedding was a bad omen for his marriage. Dani threw a drink in his face. Nicole wondered if Dani was still in love with Bill or just didn’t want to be alone. Dani was upset and almost forgot about that for a minute. She wanted to get her revenge on Bill. Dani refused to stop going after him until he suffered completely. Eva arrived home with news for Leslie. It turns out Leslie is Eva’s surrogate mother. Eva’s mother died when she was younger. Leslie was the only mother she’s ever known. Eva got the job working for Nicole. Nicole didn’t know they existed. Leslie waited for that day to come. She thought that Eva would get to live in her father’s house. According to Leslie, Ted is Eva’s biological father. Bill and Hayley’s wedding began. The crowd wasn’t happy to see them getting married. Once the minister asked if anyone objected to Bill and Hayley getting married, Dani made her move. Dani announced that she objected to them getting married.
