In the May 5 episode of Beyond The Gates, Leslie went over to the Dupree family mansion to share her version of the story with Anita Dupree, Vernon Dupree, Dani Dupree, Chelsea Hamilton, and Martin Richardson. Leslie had gone over to their house expecting that she would be able to leave as soon as her narration was done.

However, things happened differently. Both Vernon and his daughter Dani got angry with Leslie. They exclaimed how she would eventually end up getting tired of listening to herself and then exit. Martin, Ted and Nicole's son, was so furious that he would have probably ended up shoving Leslie if not for his grandparents, who held him back.

Leslie handed over a DNA test and Eva Thomas's birth certificate, which proved that everything she had claimed was indeed true. She told the Duprees that all she wanted was for her daughter Eva to have a healthy bonding with her biological family and for Ted to accept her as her own. Leslie stressed the fact that Eva was not to blame for this fiasco.

Leslie attempted to leave the mansion after saying everything that she had to, however, Anita Dupree stopped her from leaving. She told her how disappointed she was with Leslie's behavior, and knew that the only reason why she revealed the secret publicly was because she wanted revenge. She also criticized her for having used Eva as a pawn in her game.

Anita told her how she felt that a mother should never put her child through something like this. She warned Leslie about how she perceived her actions as a direct attack on the Duprees and reminded her that their community would never forget her act of war on them.
