What happened on Beyond the Gates on March 5, 2025?
Kat is suspicious
"Kat," short for Katherine, is the daughter of Nichole and Ted Richardson. When she sees Eva working for her mother, she feels an odd discomfort about her presence in the office. After discussing this with her mother, Nichole advises her not to look down on anyone, as not everyone has lived a life like hers. However, Kat remains unconvinced and keeps her eyes on Eva.
Eva suspects her mother

Eva, who has just started working at Nichole's office, feels guilty because Nichole is a kindhearted person who is incredibly supportive and appreciative of having Eva fill in for Laura.
Laura recently had an accident, which Leslie orchestrated. However, Eva is unaware of the truth and feels guilty about her own plans. She meets Kat, who does not know they are half-sisters. Eva also briefly encounters Ted Richardson, her biological father.
Jacob, Niomi's husband and Nichole's nephew, is investigating Laura's accident, which is at a standstill. After retrieving the footage from the accident, he couldn't find a license plate on the car. He visits Ted and Nichole to give an update on Laura's accident and the security footage.
Upon discovering the details of Laura's accident, Eva asks Leslie if she was involved in what happened to Laura. Leslie was shocked when Eva questioned her about the accident and quickly denied any involvement.
Martin and Smitty face challenges
Martin, the son of Nichole and Ted Richardson, is an openly gay Black member of the political scene. In the recent episode of Beyond the Gates, Smitty shares with Nichole that he is unhappy because he wants to be more than just a stay-at-home husband.
Smitty was a journalist but left his career after marrying Martin. They chose to start a family through adoption. While Martin opted to pursue his political career, Smitty decided to be a stay-at-home dad to their two children, Tyrell Richardson and Samantha Richardson.
In a heartfelt conversation with his mother-in-law, Smitty said that now that the kids have grown, he wants to return to work. She suggested that he could work with Martin, which he politely declined. Meanwhile, Martin is determined to run for the presidency, aiming to become the first Black gay president.
