Here are your Beyond the Gates spoilers for next week: Here’s a look ahead at the episodes we’ll see from Monday, February 16th, 2026, to Friday, February 20th, 2026.
Next Week on Beyond the Gates

A new week and new drama are ahead of us. Lynette Wise's (Dominique Madison) presence in Hayley's (Marquita Goings) and Bill’s (Timon Kyle Durett) hotel room has set off warning bells in Bill's head, and whether he’s starting to suspect his wife of being up to more than just making tea, he wants answers. Bill famously said that this town runs on favors, and today that’s just what he's after. Bill calls his friend Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom). Joey immediately wonders what sort of problems the Dupree family has gotten themselves into now, and Bill quickly tells him it’s got nothing to do with that family and everything to do with his family. Later in the week, Joey is going to enjoy watching Randy (Maurice P. Kerry) and Hayley squirming under Bill's questions, so it’s none too hard to figure out what Bill wants from Joey.
Hot Fuzz

Jacob is putting in the work to prove to his father that he really is cut out to be a great detective. The case he’s working is high profile, and his undercover assignment is as dangerous as anything he’s taken on thus far. The Blood-Plasma crime ring is well-connected and ingrained in the fabric of Fairmont Crest. Jacob, more than anything, really wants his father's respect, having that person also be his boss, and being the Chief of Police can’t be easy.

Jacob (Jibre Hordges) has a heated interaction with Elon (Malachi Malik) in the middle of the bull ring at the station. R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me! This week, we also see, in a move that's more about protecting Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) than anything else, that Jacob decides he’s going to move out. To really make a go of this undercover work, Jacob will have to cut ties with his family to maintain his cover. Can’t have Ren (Donny Carrington) just dropping by or following him home to find his wife is a high-profile lawyer and the daughter of Bill hamilton can we?
Telling It Like It Is

Randy isn’t about to let this upstart Lynette ruin his plans on cashing in with Hayley. Ten million dollars plus the rest is quite the payday. When Hayley explained Lynette's new and improved involvement, Randy was annoyed and rightly so. Lynette is a liability and a snake. As nasty as the day is long. It’s time for Randy to get personally involved there. Randy meets up with Lynette and gives her a stark warning. If I go down, then you and Hayley will go down right beside me. Lynette doesn’t seem too bright, so I’m going to go out on a limb here and say she will be the reason that Hayley and Randy find themselves with Joey and Bill and some rather awkward questions. Can Randy get himself out of this one? The ‘Man in black’ is on thin ice with Joey after his last little stunt with Kenny. (Jason Vendryes)
Sisterly Gossip

The two Dupree daughters, Dani (Karla Mosley) and Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix), are having a very animated conversation this week, and it’s got nothing to do with work, Anita's health, or Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant). Dani doesn't understand why they can’t swap bedroom stories as normal sisters do. Before I tell you what Nicole says, can you guess on your own? Yup, who wants to hear about the sexual exploits of your sister and your nephew together? Nicole tells Dani that it’s because she is married to her nephew, and that, my fellow soap fans, is just TMI.
Matriarch Down

Later this coming week, Anita (Tamara Tunie) is going to find it impossible to hide her health conditions, which are going to be public information. Leslie decides to take a seat with Vernon (Clifton Davis) and Anita at the Fairmont Crest Country Club, and Leslie can have this effect on people, as we have seen. Anita stands up, her eyes close, and she pitches forward onto the table, just managing to put her hand out at the last minute. Vernon rushes to steady his wife while Leslie rushes to steady her plate.

The Impaler storyline is heating up, and the arrival of Lia (Chief of Staff at Garland Memorial Hospital) played by Cecelia Specht, is just the next layer being peeled back. Watch every episode, catch every detail, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll figure out who the bad guys are!
