"Beyond the Gates" is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where the characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life -- and some with more grace than others.
Anita refuses Dani's request; Bill's reaction to Naomi's news stuns her; Shanice and Nicole have a candid chat about Ted; Hayley tells Randy she did him a solid where Lynette is concerned; Deanna meets a handsome stranger in need.

Heather informs Joey that she's back to tie up loose ends; Elon tells Jacob something he doesn't want to hear; Chelsea's livestream with Eva leaves Kat miffed; Vanessa comforts Dani.
