Deanna McBride’s blast from the past hands her a mission, Anita and Vernon’s romantic night gets crashed, and Jacob Hawthorne and Naomi finally have the raw conversation about his undercover life.

This Week in Fairmont Crest

Bill Hamilton has spent months running interference for Joey Armstrong‘s plasma ring while pretending to be a respectable family man, and this week the cracks finally start showing. Bill orders Tomas Navarro to stand down on Tuesday, gets schooled by Dani Dupree on Thursday about his selective memory, and by Friday Joey Armstrong notices Bill is off his game.

That kind of attention from Joey is never good news. Meanwhile Deanna McBride is back from school and a blast from her past has a mission for her to accomplish, Anita Dupree and Vernon Dupree‘s long-overdue romantic night gets crashed by their daughter and son-in-law, and Jacob Hawthorne and Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne finally have the raw conversation about how his undercover operation has wrecked their marriage. Buckle in.

Monday, May 25

Beyond the Gates is in repeats for the Memorial Day holiday, so settle in for a flashback episode and use the day to catch up on every storyline that exploded last week at Samantha Richardson’s cotillion. Fresh episodes return Tuesday.

Tuesday, May 26

Bill Hamilton orders Tomas Navarro to stand down on his Lynette investigation, which is exactly the move you would expect from a man with too much to lose if Tomas keeps digging.

Nicole Dupree Richardson confides her fantasies to Dr. Kial Rollins, and given that Nicole has been quietly fantasizing about her ex-husband Ted in inappropriate places, this confession is going to land hard.

Joey Armstrong gives Donnell McBride what he wants, which after weeks of Donnell pushing back on Joey’s overtures means Joey is finally extending the olive branch Donnell has been waiting for.

Deanna McBride’s blast from the past arrives with a mission for her to accomplish, and a woman who just came home from school being immediately handed an assignment from her past is the kind of cliffhanger that has us screaming.

Leslie Thomas is worried the plasma ring’s reach could impact her, which suggests Leslie knows more about what Joey is running than anyone has let on.

Wednesday, May 27

Shanice Johnson gives Ted Richardson her decision on the future of their relationship, and after weeks of Leslie working overtime to get Shanice out of Ted’s life so she can have her ex-husband back, this answer is going to send shock waves through Eva, Leslie, and Ted’s entire situation.

Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne does her best to help Ashley Morgan in her time of need, and given Ashley is reeling from whatever happened to Grayson Perez at the cotillion, Naomi stepping up is the bestie moment we have been waiting for.

Martin Richardson and Tyrell Richardson have an important father-son talk, and Martin needing to sit Tyrell down right after his son’s first night with Jessica suggests this conversation is going to be about a lot more than the birds and the bees.

Leslie Thomas crashes Garland’s press conference, which is the kind of move only Leslie would make, and Mona Wilson has a health update for Jan Morgan.

Thursday, May 28

A fallen hero is memorialized, which is the most haunting line of the week given the cotillion ended in a body count. Whoever Fairmont Crest is laying to rest, expect tears, eulogies, and at least one storyline-changing confrontation at the wake.

Dani Dupree schools Bill Hamilton on his selective memory, and Dani has been quietly cataloging Bill’s lies for months. When she finally puts it to him, expect Bill to either fold or double down.

Ted Richardson’s vote of confidence in Nicole Dupree Richardson rubs her the wrong way, which after Nicole has been fantasizing about Ted while she sleeps with Carlton means the timing on Ted being supportive could not be more cruelly ironic.

Madison admits to Chelsea Hamilton that she still holds out hope for a reconciliation with her family, and Chelsea is going to have to figure out how to support her best friend without lying about how unlikely that reconciliation actually is.

Friday, May 29

Anita Dupree and Vernon Dupree’s long-overdue night of romance gets interrupted by Kat Richardson and Martin Richardson, which is the most Dupree family thing to ever happen. Picture Anita finally feeling like herself again post-chemo and her granddaughter walking in unannounced.

Joey Armstrong wants Bill Hamilton to contain a potential threat, but then notices Bill is off his game. This is the moment fans have been waiting on. Joey clocks his fixer, and once Joey clocks you, your days in Fairmont Crest are numbered.

Jacob Hawthorne and Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne have a raw conversation about his undercover operation and the lasting effects it will have on their lives, and this is the conversation that could either save their marriage or finally end it.

Leslie Thomas insists on making Hayley Lawson an ally, and given Leslie is angling for Ted while Hayley is married to Bill, this alliance has every chance of blowing up in everyone’s face by next week.

Bill Hamilton has been Joey Armstrong’s fixer for months and the man pulling the strings just noticed Bill is slipping. Do you think Joey takes Bill out himself or sends someone else to do the job? Sound off below!
