Everything that happened on the April 28, 2025, episode of Beyond The Gates
In the April 28, 2025, episode of Beyond The Gates, Ashley and Derek spent the better part of their day moving in together into one apartment. Ashley seemed concerned with how they would be able to make space for all the junk that Derek had accumulated and owned. She was also stressed about sharing one bathroom during similar work shift hours.
Ashley's mother spent time at Orphey Gene's, also worrying about the future of her daughter and Derek moving into an apartment too small for the two of them. Vernon Dupree and Anita Dupree had lunch together at Uptown, where he tried to encourage her to take her agent's offer for her to make a comeback in the music industry. He supported her and encouraged her about the beautiful voice that she had.
After a while of coaxing Anita, she opened up to Vernon about the reality of why she seemed to be so hesitant. She told him that the band she used to be a part of earlier, The Articulettes, broke up on bad terms, and she was still ashamed of how she had formerly treated Tracy and Sharon. Chelsea Hamilton showed up at Martin's house to discuss an important topic.
She shared about how she had felt an instant attraction to a woman called Allison during one of the times that she had gotten intimate with her married couple friends. She opened up about how she felt that she could be gay or bisexual and was on the cusp of exploring her sexuality.
Chelsea ended up meeting Allison at Uptown to discuss her feelings, and to her surprise, Allison also admitted that she had felt something special between them and was open to the idea of them getting together and spending time intimately. Vernon and Martin met at Orphey Gene's and ended up running into Leslie, who weirded them out quite a bit.
Leslie kept on talking about how much she admired the entire Dupree family. After going home, she had a heated conversation with her daughter Eva, who warned her that she had been taking way too many risks lately and her cover could be blown as a result.
Meanwhile, on Beyond The Gates, Ted Richardson spent some heartfelt moments with his wife, Nicole Richardson. He toasted to her and their relationship, and how supportive she had been of him throughout.
