Will Beyond the Gates' Ted and Nicole reconcile — or divorce?

On Beyond the Gates, Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) has a tough decision to make: Can she forgive Ted? Or, will she opt for divorce? Fairmont Crest is now rattled once again due to an affair, only this time, it's the unlikely couple, Ted (Maurice Johnson) and Nicole. What will be the repercussion of this ordeal? Ted's dirty laundry is out for the world to see, especially since several notable people were there and Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) was recording the festivities.

Now, we find ourselves wondering what's next. Will Nicole be able to forgive Ted — or will she be joining her sister, Dani (Karla Mosley), in the recently divorced club?

Beyond the Gates and out of her face

Nicole told Ted to leave their home on the May 5th episode, and he, rightfully, obliged. So, now that Ted is gone, will Nicole take this time to heal and try to make sense of things? When Nicole and Ted were hashing it out, she did ask Ted if there were others. Before he could reply, however, she told him not to answer. Nicole remarked several times that she feels that she doesn't know who Ted is anymore. Twenty-plus years is a long time to keep a secret of that magnitude, child or no child. But, of course, a child being the result of it only makes matters worse.

There are so many layers to this unfortunate tale. Now, we find out that Ted took Martin (Brandon Claybon) with him to his extracurricular activities with Leslie at the diner where she worked. And, lest we forget that Ted paid Leslie to have an abortion (which she chose not to do, but didn't tell him, until recently). Ted, you've really outdone yourself as far as obliterating your marriage and any trust that Nicole could ever have in you again.

What will Nicole do?

So, Beyond the Gates has us all wondering, where do we go from here? On the one hand, if Nicole chooses the route of forgiveness, she may never trust Ted the same again — ever. And, she'll face loads of criticism from all of those who saw the spectacle at the party, as well as, undoubtedly whether to her face or behind her back, from her family who is most likely ready to throw Ted to the wolves and be done with him, much like Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett).

On the other hand, if Nicole chooses to divorce Ted, it will be a huge change for their family, and assets will have to be divided, packing will have to be done, they'll have to explain why to the grandkids, etc. Also, as Nicole stated, she has been with Ted for half of her life, and, I'm guessing, it's the same for Ted. So, the emotional toll that either option will take on them, especially Nicole, is going to be tough to watch, but necessary to show. Beyond the Gates has given us much to consider and even more, hopefully, to watch.
