Ted witnessed yet another date between Carlton and Nicole. Joey tried to convince Vanessa to give up her crusade to find out more about Doug\u2019s death. Meanwhile, Martin set boundaries with Smitty while Kat dealt with the fallout from catching Eva and Tomas post-sex. It wasn\u2019t pretty. Let\u2019s concentrate on BTG\u2019s Martin and Smitty, along with the toxic trio of Eva, Thomas, and Kat.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Martin and Smitty<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">These scenes left us unexpectedly emotional. Things were going well. Martin (Brandon Claybon) and Smitty (Mike Manning) had dinner, and it was as if the two were working their way back to each other. They were in sync. Then Martin leaned in to kiss his husband.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But Martin didn\u2019t let the kiss happen. Instead, he had a reaction that probably looked stupid, but was, in reality, smart and healthy. He didn\u2019t kiss Smitty because he didn\u2019t want a part-time or halfway relationship. He didn\u2019t want to share intimacy with his husband and then go back to sleeping on the couch as if he had one foot out the door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Martin wanted his marriage back\u2014all of it. He knows he and Smitty will never be the way they once were. But there\u2019s an opportunity for their relationship to evolve, or how did Kat (Colby Muhammad) put it in this episode? Elevate. Martin was completely justified in wanting more for them, and so he decided to leave until the day Smitty could completely forgive him for his transgressions. And for the day that the two can, once again, live as husband and husband 100 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI can\u2019t occupy only a tiny corner of your world,\u201d Martin said. \u201cIf I\u2019m yours, I\u2019m everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Martin has been doing the work, and he knows his flaws; he owns them, and he acknowledges how he was responsible for their relationship going off the rails. It\u2019s time for Smitty to do some work.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Eva, Tomas, and Kat<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As heartfelt and emotional as Martin and Smitty were, that\u2019s how messy and toxic Eva (Ambyr Michelle), Tomas (Alex Alegria), and Kat were. Their individual thought processes were illogical.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the end of the day, Eva has real feelings for Tomas, yet she got with him knowing full well he was still with her hated half-sister. It doesn\u2019t matter that Kat had been ghosting him. They never officially broke up. And by the end of the episode, Eva realized she was in the same position as her mother \u2014 she put all her eggs in the basket of a man who wasn\u2019t available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, it seems that Kat\u2019s ego has been hurt, and she doesn\u2019t have deep feelings for Tomas, although there are some feelings present. However, for her, this was about not letting Eva get her man. And as a result, she wasn\u2019t willing to ditch the guy who would treat her so horribly. If she could only listen to the words Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) was throwing at her. They should have done the job, but for now, Kat\u2019s not willing to give up Tomas, even though she should be running from the man. Why won\u2019t she do that?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Finally, Tomas doesn\u2019t know what he wants. Actually, scratch that. He wants his cake and to get to eat it, too. He wants the girl who gives him the feels and takes care of him on an emotional level (Eva), and then with Kat, he wants something different. Eva put it so well when she had an epiphany.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cYou want someone you can mold. But also who can take you places.\u201d Tomas wants it all. He wants to keep the fulfilling friendship and also the status of being with a Dupree. It\u2019s what he thinks he deserves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kat and Eva should both steer clear of this guy. But for some reason, Kat\u2019s not there yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>READ THIS: <\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/beyond-gate-spoilers-october-1-145306293.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Here\u2019s what\u2019s coming up on BTG.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Here\u2019s what\u2019s coming up on BTG.<\/a><br \/><strong>READ NEXT:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/btg-moments-watch-september-29-045856747.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:BTG Moments to Watch for this week.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">BTG Moments to Watch for this week.<\/a><br \/><strong>WATCH THIS:<\/strong>\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/soaphub.com\/soap-hub-says-podcast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Soap Hub Says\u00a0breaks down what\u2019s heating up in soaps;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em>Soap Hub Says<\/em>\u00a0breaks down what\u2019s heating up in soaps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>This story was originally reported on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/soaphub.com\/beyond-the-gates\/news-btg\/september-30-breakdown-martin-sets-boundaries-while-tomas-blows-his-up\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Soap Hub;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Soap Hub<\/a> on September 30, 2025.
