Everything that happened on the April 2, 2025, episode of Beyond The Gates
In the April 2, 2025, episode of Beyond The Gates, Bill Hamilton was shown being delusional about the kiss that he had shared with Dani Dupree and not taking any accountability for it. Bill's motive behind going over to meet Dani was to coyly ask her for a favor for Hayley.
Hayley had been denied entry at the esteemed country club, and Bill wanted Dani to help her get in.
Bill insisted that the kiss between them changed nothing, and he still very much loved Hayley. Dani Dupree got the reality check that she needed from Bill and also realized that she needed to have some sort of control over her drinking habits and her life in general.
Dani voiced how she had done everything that Bill had ever asked of her, and since it still had not been enough, it was time to let it go.
In an attempt to try to move on from all the hurt that Bill had caused her, Dani called Andre over to her place to get intimate with him for one night.
While she was ready to share her woes and troubles with him and be honest about her feelings, Andre seemed to be closed off and only able to share his true thoughts and feelings with Nicole.
Meanwhile, Hayley struggled with trying to understand why everyone around her seemed to be different.
The consequences of her actions with Bill Hamilton went unnoticed to her, and she could not seem to understand why Chelsea, Naomi, and Dani were acting cold and indifferent towards her.
Anita and Vernon Dupree seemed to be extremely worried about Bill Hamilton and his actions. The couple met their granddaughter Naomi over for drinks and heard about what was going on regarding the lawsuit and Naomi's legal representation of the women who had filed the case against Bill.
While both Anita and Vernon were supportive of her courage, they seemed to be tense about how Bill would retaliate if Naomi won and subtly asked Naomi to drop the case as well.
Both of them knew that Bill knew a lot about their family and could try to leverage that fact for as long as the case dragged out and came to a conclusion that they needed to find a way to stabilize Bill.
Meanwhile, on Beyond The Gates, Jacob witnessed his detective partner Marcel Malone accept money from Joey Armstrong and wondered under what circumstances both of them were dealing with cash.
