Naomi confronts a legal challenge

Meanwhile, on Beyond the Gates, Naomi attended an important meeting at Orphey Gene's place. Three women arrived at the scene and they shocked Naomi with their request. They wanted her legal assistance in suing Bill's firm. Thinking that she needed to go head-to-head against her father, she found herself in the middle of a moral dilemma.

The women informed Naomi about Mike Davis' inappropriate comments, petty revenge tactics, and nonconsensual touches. They narrated how these resulted in poor reviews and they were all ultimately fired. They felt Naomi would be the best person for the job because she knew Bill inside and out.

The woman approached her since she already had a lot of experience arguing with her father. Later, Naomi consulted with her husband, Jacob, who already knew about the impending case. He had heard rumors about the case and he wanted to ensure that this was something his wife could do. Naomi was excited to tackle such a big challenge.

Bill comforts Hayley while Kat clashes with Eva

Next on Beyond the Gates, Bill entertained his firm employees Tomas and Mike Davis, who took any chance he could to talk about women in a derogatory manner. As Bill tried to focus on work after returning from his honeymoon, Hayley arrived home and talked about her grievance.

After returning from the country club, Hayley complained to Bill about how people treated her poorly at the club. She told him that she felt invisible to everyone as nobody waited for her or even looked at her while she sat at the table.

Bill tried to comfort him with reassurance. He told her he would bring down the entire city just for her. He promised that he would make people respect her. Despite Bill's promise, Hayley did not understand how she became an outsider when Dani was the one who shot a gun at her wedding.

Back at the country club, Kat and Eva continued clashing against each other. Kat could not tolerate it as Eva was trying to steal her life. On the other hand, Eva started flirting with Tomas, knowing he had something going on with Kat. The rivalry between them heated up as they mutually disliked each other.

Later, on Beyond the Gates, Jacob was on a stakeout with Marcel before he met Naomi. While out with the legendary detective Marcel Malone, he thought about his retirement, where he could relax and spend quality time with himself and his boat.

However, his stakeout mission took a deadly turn. The two of them witnessed Joey Armstrong receiving money from a mystery man. The situation was quite suspicious, but Marcel refused to do anything.

Jacob was ready to bring Joey in, resulting in a smaller payoff. He looked like he did not understand or liked Marcel's way of doing things. Displeased with Marcel, he thought about taking matters into his own hands.

On the other hand, Dani was extremely happy when she solidified her deal for Chelsea's fashion show. While having breakfast with the Duprees, she smiled and acted like things were normal with her family.

However, her mood changed drastically as the episode ended. When she returned home, she started drinking from a bottle of vodka and then passed out on the floor. While she prepared to fall asleep, she looked sad and emotionally devastated.

With tensions rising higher than ever, fans are eager to find out how Jacob's mission turns out. Additionally, with the latest developments on Beyond the Gates, viewers look forward to witnessing what happens between Kat and Eva.
