The Beyond the Gates episode that aired on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, opened with Madison meeting Chelsea’s family for the first time, only to face tension from Dani and confusion from Nicole. Dani admitted to Nicole that she’s been sleeping with Andre, leading to a loud fallout in the hallway. Meanwhile, Ted sent flowers to Nicole, which Shanice ended up delivering to the hospital.
Dani told Nicole that she and Andre have been sleeping together for months.
The confession happened in the hospital hallway after Nicole vented about how Ted had lied to her in the past. Dani admitted the secret, which immediately pushed Nicole over the edge. Nicole wasn’t just angry that Dani had been with Andre—she was furious that once again, someone close to her had been hiding something.
When Dani tried to explain that Andre isn’t family by blood, Nicole sarcastically snapped, “I wish I was sleeping with my nephew!” and stormed off. Dani tried to ask if Nicole was jealous, but that only made things worse. Nicole wasn’t in the mood for jokes or explanations.

She felt blindsided. The fact that Dani had kept this hidden for so long, while Nicole had been trying to figure things out with Ted, only made her feel more isolated. Dani didn’t follow her or try to fix things right away. The fight ended with Nicole walking away and Dani standing alone in the hallway, clearly shaken by the fallout.
Beyond the Gates: Why did Chelsea bring Madison to meet her family so early?
Because Dani pushed for it, not Chelsea. The episode started with Madison and Chelsea arriving at the Dupree mansion so Madison could be introduced to the family. Nicole was confused right away, wondering why a neurologist was sitting in her living room.
When Dani revealed Madison was Chelsea’s girlfriend, Nicole was visibly thrown off. Madison questioned whether this meeting was happening too fast, but Vernon stepped in and handled it. In a one-on-one with the couple, Vernon expressed surprise that Chelsea would bring someone home this early in the relationship.
Chelsea immediately clarified that it wasn’t her idea, but Dani’s. Later, Dani explained to Madison that the family had been through a lot lately and was just being cautious. Madison reassured her that she would never hurt Chelsea and led Vernon to show support for the relationship.
But when he was alone with Dani, Vernon admitted he suspected Chelsea was rushing into this as a reaction to everything she had been through with Bill. The visit may have been framed as a sweet gesture, but underneath it, everyone was questioning the timing and what was motivating it.
Beyond the Gates: What happened between Derek and Ashley after the proposal rejection?
Derek ended things for good after realizing Ashley wasn’t ready. In Beyond the Gates, Ashley and Derek met at her place after she turned down his proposal. She had been sick earlier, likely from drinking, and was still trying to piece things together emotionally. When Derek arrived to pick up his forgotten gym bag, they ended up talking about the proposal.
Ashley told him that getting married to fix their problems was not the answer. Derek tried to get clarity on what she wanted, but she couldn’t give him a straight timeline. She told him he was kind, brave, and wonderful, but that wasn’t enough for him. He asked whether she was waiting for something better to come along.
Ashley didn’t answer that. Instead, she just repeated that she wasn’t ready. After that, Derek said goodbye and walked out. The conversation ended without any yelling, but it was clear. They were done. Both admitted there was nothing more to say. It wasn’t just a pause or a break. It was a clean end to their relationship, with both of them choosing to move on separately.
Beyond the Gates: Why did Bill secretly buy a $10 million life insurance policy?
Because Hayley broke down and said she couldn’t live without him. Bill is still struggling during recovery. He demanded alcohol and steak, even though he’s clearly not healthy enough for either. Hayley refused to give in. Shanice later showed up to help with physical therapy, which Bill tried to avoid.
Then Naomi arrived, but she didn’t hide her feelings about Hayley, calling her a “stepmonster.” After Naomi left, Hayley broke down in front of Bill. She told him he was all she had left and that if anything happened to him, she wouldn’t know what to do.
Bill tried to reassure her by saying he wasn’t going anywhere, but then made a secret call to purchase a $10 million life insurance policy with Hayley as the sole beneficiary. He didn’t tell her about it.
He didn’t tell anyone. The move came off like Bill wanted to protect her financially, but wasn’t confident he would survive his health issues. The call ended without drama, but the decision could change everything if the truth comes out.
