00:00Previously on Beyond the Gates, a man was just murdered. How can you be so calm?
00:05The cover-up and the conspiracy could get you charged as accessories.
00:09Eva's a snake.
00:10Oh, it's a mess.
00:11Are you sure you...
00:12I don't want to stop.
00:14Eva's the last thing on my mind.
00:15If you want me, you can have me. All of me.
00:19Stay away from my entire family.
00:21They come looking for me.
00:22Then just say no, Bill.
00:25Stop pushing us away, okay?
00:27Because we're not going anywhere.
00:30Looking real cute today.
00:34Lord, give me strength.
00:36So we're doing this?
00:37I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:39For starters, you won't look me in the eye.
00:41And ever since you saw me with Derek, you're treating me as if I ate the last cupcake and licked the frosting off yours, too.
00:47Do not flatter yourself.
00:50What you do with Derek, or any other man for that matter, is none of my business.
00:56Look, I get it.
00:57Breakups are hard.
00:58Especially when you thought he was the one.
01:01You do not know the first thing about Derek and me.
01:04And for your information, he's the last thing on my mind.
01:07So why are you acting so standoffish every time I enter the room, then?
01:10I am not acting anything.
01:12Dr. White, down 360.
01:13But since you insist on having this conversation, I do find it interesting how quickly you pounced on him.
01:21Pounced?
01:21Mm-hmm.
01:23Listen, let's go there, then.
01:24Yes, I think Derek is fine.
01:29I never made a secret of that.
01:30And God knows that man could fill out a firefighter uniform.
01:34And yes, maybe I do like to sample the vanilla side of the menu every now and then.
01:39But not right now.
01:40We're just friends.
01:41But since I see the situation's got you all twisted, for the sake of peace, I'll fall back.
01:49That's if you want me to.
01:50You remember those mother-daughter dinners that we had at that little buffet off MLK?
02:01Oh, you mean when you taught your master class on maximizing that buffet return on investment?
02:07Um, start with the expensive stuff first.
02:10Don't fill up on bread.
02:11And never, ever waste stomach space on lettuce.
02:15Woo!
02:15That's right, baby.
02:17Mama taught you well, didn't I?
02:18Why do I feel like I'm about to get hustled?
02:26Can't a mother reminisce?
02:30A normal mother?
02:32Maybe.
02:33But you always have an angle.
02:35Well, now that you mention it.
02:38Oh.
02:39So, I wanted to ask you a little favor.
02:45Yeah.
02:45Yeah.
02:45I know meeting for an early dinner was my idea.
02:51But would you mind picking up the check?
02:55I mean, consider it a payback for all those valuable life lessons.
02:58Well, now that you're going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little bit, but I'm going to ask you a little

06:19harder to come back and what about that place you were bartending i thought you were killing it there
06:25no honey i was killing it fierce until they let me go why the new management wants a younger crowd
06:34which means a younger staff and i don't fit their aesthetic anymore so apparently they want

08:19of course baby what good are police connections if you don't use them
08:24i met june's sister regina let me guess she wasn't feeling charitable
08:31that's putting it mildly now listen i've dealt with hostile witnesses angry clients grieving families
08:38but regina that woman's walls are built higher than fort knox and the second i mentioned june's
08:46name it's like i threw holy water on a vampire she couldn't have slammed the door faster
08:53i'm sorry about that baby but maybe it's time to take the hand take a beat step back
09:00regroup and revisit it later i can't do that june needs help and her sister knows something
09:07which is why i slid my business card under her door i practically begged her to contact me

11:54you made this whole trip for nothing doctor gave her to beg 112. no i wouldn't say all of that a friend
12:04well she must be some gorgeous supermodel that you shot in milan or someplace equally exotic
12:11why do i feel like there's more to that question just making conversation that's what nurses
12:16do we're chatting are they generally jealous too you wish maybe i do
12:29we could shave that dorsal hump but we need to maintain the integrity of uh food about time

13:00person that you want to see especially right now and after that ugly incident with nicole and yet
13:07you're here again yeah believe me i hate this just as much as you do yeah somehow i doubt that
13:18well i didn't plan to spend my afternoon like this either
13:21but life has a way of humbling you just when you think that you're on top
13:30well next thing you know you are accounting quarters for coffee at the 7-eleven like a college student
13:37oh but you wouldn't know anything about that you never had to worry about keeping the lights on did
13:43you what do you want dana we both know this is not a social visit i lost my job okay i mean
13:53age discrimination if you can believe it like experience means nothing these days
14:01then this is my problem how okay i need a loan and i will pay you back i promise i give you my
14:09word and and nicole doesn't have to know anything about it nothing at all your word
14:17the same word you gave me when you swore you'd stay away from my family
14:20or when you swore you changed you've been breaking your so-called words since the day i met you
14:26test please the answer is no not today not tomorrow not ever
14:31when i said fight for your man i meant like post a thirst trap on ig or maybe throw some shade eva's
14:40way not go full on hot girl summer it wasn't like that and you know it oh please let me have my
14:47moment i just can't believe it and what happened to little miss i'm saving myself for the right
14:53moment well you said when it was the right time i would know and i did tomas and i just had this
15:00vibe and energy we just knew everything clicked into place i'd hope so seriously that's kind of
15:11beautiful all right like those romance novels your mom claims that she doesn't read so it was perfect
15:21i mean full fireworks and shooting stars you finally got your disney princess moment actually no
15:28i hated every second of it
15:35evil looks mighty focused over there probably clinic stuff you know she's working for ted now
15:43oh i know that look seriously you can't turn off your detective brain for one dinner not even for your
15:50wifey says the woman who's been hunting june's sister determined to get answers come hell or high
15:56water okay fine fine go ahead break it down for me detective hawthorne i'm just saying after what
16:03leslie pulled setting eva up to be accused for a heinous crime and now they're just thick as thieves
16:09you know what's funny about toxic family members the worse they treat you the harder it is to break free
16:15it's like you have this invisible chain around your heart pulling you back every time
16:21sounds like you're speaking from experience whenever i think i'm done with dad like done done
16:29i remember when i was little and how big and safe his hands felt around mine and how he made me believe
16:38i could do anything sometimes the good memories cut deeper than the bad ones
16:43makes you wonder what if this time will be different what if this time they'll actually change
16:55when families involved logic goes right out the window
17:00like june and her sister maybe well guess that mystery will remain unsolved unless you just ask i assume
17:10that's her regina you wanted to talk let's get this over with
17:29okay i'm starting to think that there's something over here that you are looking at nurse morgan
17:34yeah well i am wondering why a world famous photographer has posted up in my little corner
17:42of the hospital you know we're not really giving off the vogue aura in here as a matter of fact there
17:48is this nurse batty yeah i've been dying to take her out to dinner again you wouldn't happen to know
17:53she's free tonight would you huh she just might be after she finishes her shift but you know she is
18:03having a hard time understanding why someone who photographs supermodels would look twice at a
18:08girl who's rocking scrubs and sneakers well you'd be surprised what actually catches my eye
18:15i'm actually way more interested in something real although i can't front those after parties are kind
18:20of lit well i wouldn't know the most lit my life gets is a happy hour in george down
18:28i've never even been outside the east coast i mean georgetown has its charm but over in shaw
18:36there's the soul food spot that'll make you rethink your whole existence
18:40doro soul food yeah those collard greens and cornbread got me through nursing school
18:46okay okay i'll see you ashley so uh tell me something then if you could go anywhere in the world
18:53and i do mean anywhere where would that beautiful mind take you why are you planning on shipping me
19:01off to be your pa on your next shoot i'll just say that you'll be surprised what might develop
19:09fifty thousand dollars that's what i gave you and you have the audacity to come back here asking for more
19:15yeah barely covers what i'm old after all these years of raising eva on my own huh so what happened
19:24to that money oh oh wait uh let me guess uh you're wearing it oh honey keeping up with the joneses is
19:32expensive especially around all these bougie black folk some of these outfits you've been wearing lately
19:39costs more than some people's rent are you telling me that you have been checking me out and after
19:48all this time i thought you only had eyes for little nicky actually i've been taking notice lately for
19:55exactly this moment when i could tell you and your expensive tastes to go straight to hell this isn't
20:01you teddy this is not the man that i knew and it's not the man that eva is getting to know that man is a
20:08humanitarian someone who believes in helping people when they're down i told you to stay away
20:14from my family and you go and file a report against nicole making this whole sordid affair
20:19even worse i had no choice that hepa laid hands on me then let me take a closer look at these so-called
20:25injuries that you've been hiding behind that scarf i do not have to show you anything the police report
20:31speaks for itself so does this a single-handedly raised our daughter protected you from child
20:45support payments for years and this this is how you repay my kindness you robbed me of my own daughter
20:53years are first that i will never get back i would have been there for eva if i'd have known she'd
20:58existed you sent me away this this is a chance to get to know her because of me are you serious very
21:09my god did under all that anger i know there is a decent man someone who is actually going to provide
21:18for his own when you see that your own is suffering one of my own yes say the the performance for someone
21:26who actually believes you have a heart i'm not giving you a damn thing now get out i won't forget this
21:42you hated sex with tomas hot bod bedroom eyes tomas i know how that sounds there must be something
21:53wrong with me stop the first time is weird for everyone there's like a million reasons why it
21:59might not have been great but first things first he didn't hurt you did he god no tomas was perfect
22:07it was all gentle touches and are you okay and trying to make me feel comfortable well that's a
22:13positive we love a considerate king so what is the actual problem well that's the thing everything is
22:22technically fine my body did what it was supposed to do but i just felt like i was watching it happen to
22:30someone else okay i'm trying to understand what specifically felt off oh that's the thing nothing
22:39felt off nothing felt like much of anything my body was going through the motions but the whole time i
22:46was thinking is this what everybody's obsessed about because i'm not getting it damn i can't even imagine
22:54yes thank you i'm very well aware of your healthy sex life chelsea well maybe you just need more
23:02practice or someone with more experience no tomas knows what he's doing it wasn't his technique
23:10that was the problem and it's not you okay you're just figuring it out what if there's nothing to figure
23:17out chelsea what if i'm broken hey yo slow down mamita where's the emergency my bad but i can't right

24:08than just another homeless case you do know she's been living on the streets right doesn't surprise me
24:17i haven't spoken to my sister in years and i certainly don't plan to start now
24:22she's uh quite a character funny resilient stubborn as a mule i know that's right

26:43he'd actually loosen his purse strings but now not our ted for real you had me rushing over here
26:53thinking something was wrong all because dad curved you on some money why are you suddenly so protective
27:01of him did you forget that he left us high and dry he didn't leave anybody mama he didn't even know i
27:08existed and you still haven't told me why this was so urgent do you have any idea how much money
27:14that man has he could actually buy his own island but now now doesn't want to spare a dime for
27:24the woman who raised his child but it's all good
27:29i've had an epiphany i've had an epiphany i'm almost afraid to ask but what kind
27:35you are going to ask him for a loan

27:49long lost daughter especially after all the time he missed but i don't need money everybody needs

29:04had children beautiful sweet babies who deserve better than what she gave them
29:11which was nothing less than nothing actually what happened to them what happens to any children

31:43where are they now june abandoned them said she couldn't handle it anymore and no one reached out
31:51to you as next of kin a neighbor called cps by the time i found out they were already gone
31:59and you never offered to take custody hell it all went down before i could even process what happened
32:06suddenly they were adopted and the system wouldn't tell us to who
32:12you think i wouldn't taking those babies in a heartbeat
32:15i love them like they were my own
32:20still do
32:20there's something different about you today what do you mean
32:29not sure a certain glow is it
32:41must be something in the air
32:45damn i mean you aren't feeling him at all i am
32:48that's the thing when we're making out it's like pure electricity
32:56chemistry is off the charts but but when we did the actual thing i mean i felt the initial pain
33:05or whatever but then after that nothing so the preview was a hit but the main feature was a flop
33:12oh girl it was like watching paint dry i was just just waiting for it to be over
33:19maybe i should visit my gyno something might actually be wrong the only thing wrong is expecting
33:25your first time to be some magical fantasy for real you said tomas is sweet and respectful right
33:33not like these f boys in my dms total gentleman then give yourself and tomas some grace
33:40sex it's different for everybody maybe tell him what you're feeling and if he's about it like you say
33:46he'll want to figure it out together you don't think i'll scare him away
33:51if you do then he's not the one
33:54but i think your puerto rican prince will surprise you plus you know what the grands say
33:59what practice makes perfect okay i think me and tomas can work on that
34:11i swear dana
34:18oh oh this is a welcome surprise
34:22i said do you have a minute yeah i was just working on some uh reconstructive procedures uh
34:29i could take a break
34:33um
34:36what's wrong is that cat giving you more drama no i can handle cat this is about mama
34:45of course you know all these decades and dana is still finding new ways to complicate my life
34:53she told me about coming to see you and about asking for money
35:00i don't blame you for curving her even by leslie logic standards thinking you'd help after
35:05everything was a stretch i'm glad you understand i do which is why i was thinking
35:12why don't you loan it to me instead
35:19i can't believe you're really asking me this
35:23listen i know how it looks do you because from where i'm standing it looks like your mother is
35:30using my daughter to manipulate me again she's not using me
35:38look this is my choice and i'll pay you back every cent i promise
35:44it's not about the money it's about the hold this woman has over you
