Meanwhile on Beyond the Gates, Dani Dupree woke up and found Andre smiling at her. Even though she had no regrets, Dani suggested they had to pretend that it never happened. Andre accepted Dani's boundaries, but told her that she had options if she was lonely.

While Bill was getting ready, his former wife Dani visited his place and begged him to cancel his wedding and come back home. However, Bill humiliated Dani by calling her desperate and sad. When Bill questioned her pride, she grabbed her coat and walked away.

Later on Beyond the Gates, Andre got his camera set up at Ted and Nicole's to conduct an interview. He tried to ask about Ashley and her firefighter boyfriend.
