Welcome to the Beyond the Gates Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:
What Happened on Beyond the Gates

Today was a hoot. Nicole and Dani were asked to leave the room by Vernon so he could properly interrogate Madison on her relationship with his granddaughter, Chelsea. Did that mean the two sisters would chat about the weather and what's good? Nope. Dani broached the subject of her and Andre, and that they are sleeping together. Nicole took the news well and rationalized it as the only good news she’d had in a very long time, and she was happy for them, and at least one of them should be in a loving relationship. LOL, I wouldn’t believe that either, and that's pretty much the opposite of how it went down. Nicole ripped into Dani, saying that it was her nephew (by marriage and not by blood) and that it was disgusting, and when she asked Dani a few weeks ago, if that was what was going on, Dani denied it. Well, she was lying.

Dani told Nicole, and that's when we heard all about Eva lying, Ted lying, and now Dani was lying. Um… They are not quite the same; they are all very different. Eva lied to support her mom's crazy scheme, and Ted lied because he wanted to avoid something that would destroy his marriage. Dani lied to protect something she wasn't ready to share, and it is none of Nicole's business, grown adults present. So now we have Nicole spinning out about that, just as she gets a card and a bunch of flowers from Ted. Worst timing.
