This week in Beyond the Gates, things are getting spicy, secretive, and downright scandalous. From tangled affairs to life-altering confessions and medical scares, Beyond the Gates is serving up a full plate of drama from June 16–20.
Vanessa’s Power Play – Joey Caught Off Guard
To start, Vanessa McBride doesn’t waste time mourning her betrayal by Joey Armstrong. After discovering his plan to use her real estate firm for money laundering, she stuns him on Monday with a surprising move. Rather than blowing up, she tells Joey he could’ve just asked, honey catches more flies than vinegar, after all.
Instead of cutting him off, Vanessa negotiates a new deal, one that benefits her and Doug McBride a little more. While her affair with Joey continues, she insists her loyalty still lies with her husband. But is she seducing Joey to gain the upper hand, or simply playing both sides? As the week continues, their connection deepens, and so does the danger.
