Fans tuning into Beyond the Gates this Thanksgiving week may notice a sudden shift in how the story unfolds. Just as the drama continues to build around the Dupree family and the fallout from the Articulates history, CBS is making a change that affects what viewers will see on screen, and it arrives right in the middle of the tension.
The Story Pauses Just After New Developments
CBS confirmed that two new episodes will air at the start of the week on Monday, November 24, and Tuesday, November 25, keeping the current storyline moving forward for the first half of the week. But after that, the momentum takes a temporary turn. On Wednesday, November 26, and Thursday, November 27, CBS will re-air the episodes from August 1 and 2, 2025, known as the “Articulates Reunion.”
These episodes centered on Anita and her former girl group, bringing old wounds and long-buried secrets back into the story. When those episodes originally aired, CBS posted a scene from the reunion to its official YouTube channel, which immediately brought in a wave of reactions from fans who noticed small details that raised even more questions.
The Schedule Twist Becomes Official
CBS also confirmed that Beyond the Gates will be preempted on Friday, November 28 for CBS Sports coverage. The good news for viewers is that new episodes will return quickly, picking back up on Monday, December 1, 2025. So even though the storyline hits a brief pause, fans will not have to wait long.
The Articulates Reunion reruns are already stirring up memories from when the episodes first aired. One fan shared that after rewatching, they noticed Tracy seemed to light up whenever Vernon was around. They added that they thought they spotted quiet glances between the two during the dressing room flower scene. If Vernon had cheated on Anita in the past, it would mean every Dupree woman had been cheated on by her husband.
Another viewer said that even though it may still feel early in the series, they wanted a prequel spinoff. They suggested a short limited series focused on Anita and her group that would finally explain what happened to Barbara. The timing of the reruns may give viewers a chance to look back at clues that could matter later. For more such Beyond The Gates spoilers, keep following Soap Opera Daily!
