On the August 4, 2025, episode of Beyond the Gates, at the centre of the stage in the comeback concert of the Articulettes, Anita stole the show with a heartfelt tribute put together by Andre to her, Tracy, and Sharon's former bandmate, Barbara, who had tragically passed away at a young age.

Meanwhile, in the audience section of the event, Dani and Andre ended up sharing a kiss with each other, which shocked every member of the Dupree and the Richardson families. Naomi ended up being the only one who seemed not to have taken the news very well.

In the Beyond the Gates episode, the three members of the Articulettes put up a successful show for all their fans and supporters. As they performed, Sharon also forgave Anita for everything that had happened between them in the past. After the concert ended, the afterparty moved to the Fairmont Crest Country Club. Smitty told Martin, Tyrell, and Samantha that he would try to make it to the party.

Leslie and her daughter, Eva, tried to crash the party, but Kat ended up barring them from entry. While they tried to argue and say that they did not have any intention to cause trouble, Kat did not budge and asked them to leave the premises immediately. Nicole also quickly headed towards Leslie, ready to fight with her, but once she saw that Kat had the situation under control, she backed off.

Nicole, meanwhile, took a detour, meeting up with Leslie at Orphey Gene's Soul Kitchen. There, she confronted the latter, the two exchanging barbs as Eva tried to mediate the situation, saying that her mother was a genuine fan of the Articulettes.

At the afterparty on Beyond the Gates, Smitty did end up coming and met with Anita and Vernon. He told them that while he was not yet ready to forgive the two of them for everything that they had kept from him, he was thankful that they had done so much for his husband, Martin. Smitty and Martin met each other and had an awkward conversation, not making a lot of progress on their dilapidated relationship.

Meanwhile, on Beyond the Gates, Chelsea and Andre ran into each other during the afterparty.

At Smitty's apartment, Tyrell and Samantha discussed how lucky they were to be Martin and Smitty's children and would never take it for granted again.
