Everything that happened on the May 8, 2025, episode of Beyond The Gates
In the May 8, 2025, episode of Beyond The Gates, Chelsea Hamilton went over to Anita and Vernon Dupree's apartment to discuss how she had been feeling after the aftermath of finding out about Ted cheating on Nicole decades ago, and about how her father, Bill Hamilton, had threatened Leslie and her unborn child.
Chelsea shared how she felt that if her father had genuinely threatened Leslie and her unborn child, she was afraid that she was unwilling to try to ever reconcile with him. While Vernon and Anita Dupree agreed that Bill Hamilton was more than capable of making threats like that, he was not the kind of person who would follow through with it.
Meanwhile, on Beyond The Gates, Ted Richardson went over to Bill and Hayley's apartment to discuss what had happened when he had cheated on Nicole with Leslie. Bill told Ted that he had indeed threatened Leslie, but had no intention of following through with them, and he also told Ted how he should have directly come over to meet him when he had first found out that Leslie was in Fairmont Crest Estates.
Bill reminded Ted that every member of the Dupree family was more than capable of holding onto a grudge, and Hayley agreed with him. At Nicole Richardson's apartment, Dani Dupree went over to comfort her sister with chocolates, Nicole's favorite teddy bear, and a bubble bath.
Dani tried to add some perspective to Nicole's dilemma and told her to see things differently. She tried to tell her that ever since Ted and Leslie's affair had ended, Ted devoted all his time to Nicole and the family that they had created. While he had messed up a lot, he had done more than enough to try to make up for it by being there for Nicole and her family.
Dani told Nicole that all of them had changed since the affair had happened decades ago, most of all Ted. Dani ended their conversation and asked Nicole whether she saw a future where she could end up forgiving Ted, and she replied with a no. Meanwhile, Leslie kicked Eva out of her apartment after arguing that she had sided with Nicole and Ted over her mother, and Eva went over to meet Ted Richardson at his hotel room and tried to bond with her biological father.
