Beyond the Gates: Ted Starts Secret Third Family as Kat Reaches Her Breaking Point?
Beyond the Gates exposes Dr. Ted Richardson (Maurice Johnson) sparking a new relationship. And while Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) is fine with him dating Shanice Johnson (Ernestine Johnson), his insane former sidepiece Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) is not okay with it.
His daughter Katherine “Kat” Richardson (Colby Muhammad) may have some issues if he and Shanice get really serious and settle down.
Dana “Leslie” Thomas Plants a Scandalous Trap for Shanice & Ted on Beyond the Gates
All right, so we have Shanice and Ted getting more serious by the day. They’re not just getting intimate. I think Shanice is more than a rebound for Ted. Right now, Shanice is in the smitten kitten phase, but I see Ted falling for her and Shanice falling for Ted.
This week, we saw Shanice a little annoyed when she found Leslie’s loose drawers in the sofa cushions of Ted’s hotel room. The timing for her finding Leslie’s underthings couldn’t be worse because it looks like Ted was getting all romantic and telling Shanice she’s the one he wants to move on with. This happened right after she got a bit irritated with Ted for paying too much attention to Nicole and her hot date, Kyle Rollins (Greg Vaughan), at Uptown.
Then they come back and Shanice finds what Ted’s sketchy ex Leslie left there, hoping that Shanice would find them. It’s a bit much. Good thing Shanice was smart enough to pick those panties up using a tissue and not her bare hands. She’s ranting at Ted this week that if she’s the one, who do these tacky panties belong to?
Ted Confronts Lunatic Leslie as Drama Escalates on BTG
I don’t think he recognizes them. It’s not like he’s been taking a tour of Leslie’s lingerie drawer. But Ted immediately is going to realize only one person would have left them there. The good news is I’m sure he’ll tell Shanice, “Look, this is another one of those schemes by psychotic Leslie.” I’m sure Shanice will immediately see that makes sense, and I don’t think she’s going to hold it against Ted.
But I think him living at the hotel under the same roof as Leslie is a problem. It’s a big building and a big roof, but Ted is too close to Leslie. It’s long overdue for Ted to move out of that hotel and get further away from lunatic Leslie. I’m hoping that this incident blows up in her sneaky face. I also hope that Leslie’s prank actually winds up moving Shanice and Ted’s relationship forward. That would be a little bit of karma.
By Friday of this week, he’s had enough and confronts Leslie in public about her sketchy behavior. I wonder if Ted is going to make a scene at Fairmont Crest or maybe up at the hospital because we know Leslie keeps showing up to harass and insult Shanice at work.
Class Conflicts and Insecurity in the Beyond the Gates Plot
Of course, we all know what was eating at Leslie. She was the other woman and was jealous of Nicole, who was from a good family, was educated, and sophisticated. Meanwhile, Leslie was a waitress. There is nothing wrong with that, but she felt like her being blue-collar made her less than. That was part of why she and Ted didn’t happen.
All of a sudden, Leslie is feeling fancy because of that big pile of money from Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) that she fell backwards into and didn’t earn. Somehow Leslie now feels better and like she’s been elevated. She’s clearly so insecure and the money’s not going to help that.
Then in comes Shanice, who’s gorgeous and smart, also educated, but not DMV royalty. Ted is not a snob. He really liked Shanice and having peach cobbler with her at Oree Jean’s. She also fits seamlessly into Ted’s country club scene. I loved seeing Shanice hand it back to gossipy Anastasia (Erica Hubbard) the other day, and Shanice consistently shuts down Leslie and doesn’t let her intimidate her at all.

Beyond the Gates Engagement Spoilers and Relationship Milestones
When Ted publicly lays into Leslie, I’m sure that’s going to reiterate to Shanice that she is his priority. We have another spoiler for Friday saying that two people get engaged. I’d be cheering if Ted went there, but I feel like it’s way too soon for them. It may be Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) that proposes to Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) or the other way around, but we’ll wait and see.
Despite them probably not being the couple that’s engaged, I do suspect we’re going to see Ted and Shanice continue to get more and more serious. I think Ted may get his own place and we could see him and Shanice moving in while they’re moving forward and evolving.
This week Ted sees Nicole playing tonsil hockey with Kial at Uptown. That’s hot on the heels of Ted seeing Nicole out with Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald (Robert Christopher Riley). She’s made it crystal clear to Ted that he’s in her rearview mirror. Nicole is single and mingling with multiple hot men. Since they’re okay with it, it’s none of Ted’s business.
Will Ted Start a Third Family with Shanice on BTG?
Here’s the point that I’m really curious about: how will Ted’s kids handle it when he gets serious with somebody else? They know Leslie was a mistake from the past. This relationship with Shanice is very much the present and possibly the future.
Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) and Kat were both very upset when they found out Ted cheated on their mom. Meanwhile, Martin has been very welcoming of his new sister, Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle). Martin isn’t holding Leslie’s awful antics against Eva. Martin understands and he’s tried to explain to Kat that Eva was raised being told the worst things about all of them.
Eva came to the DMV with an agenda because she’d basically been gaslit her whole life. But once she saw that Leslie had lied and misled her, Eva did try and stop what her mom was doing. She tried to stop her from breaking up Nicole and Ted. But of course, Kat doesn’t want to show Eva any grace ever for any reason.
Kat’s Insecurity Over Ted’s New Relationship on Beyond the Gates
Kat was also offended when Ted said he loves all his children equally: her, Martin, and Eva. It’s incomprehensible to Kat that Ted would love all his children the same, no matter who their mom is. I say this just because I’m curious how Kat will feel if Ted starts a third family, this time with Shanice.
Ted never intended to start the second family; that was a mistake. But Shanice has no kids of her own. She’s at the right age for her biological clock to be ticking. It’s not like Ted is over the hill. If he wants to settle down with Shanice and she wants kids, I can see Ted saying, “Okay, let’s do it.”
The other day when Kat saw Ted and Shanice at Uptown, I thought it was very nice. Kat was making an effort to get to know Shanice since both Ted and Shanice were very clear that they started seeing each other after Ted and Nicole’s divorce was official. But will Kat change her mind if Ted decides he’s going to marry Shanice and make some more babies?
Kat Struggles with Insecurities on BTG
Kat seems to think love is finite and that there’s not enough to go around when more people come into the picture. She’s feeling very insecure and threatened while saying that Eva is the one who’s insecure. I know Beyond the Gates fans are deeply divided on Kat versus Eva. I’m not going to weigh into those waters, but I’m curious to see how Kat will handle it if Ted decides to expand his family beyond Martin, Kat, and Eva.
I think Martin and Eva would be very accepting. I don’t think they would even question that if Ted wants to do that. But Kat’s reaction when Ted gets really serious with Shanice is what interests me. Even if they don’t say they want to start a family, Kat can probably look down that road and see it’s a possibility, and she’s already feeling shortchanged. Is she going to freak out? We’ll see.

Olivia Culpo Feeds Her Hair to Coyotes to Keep ‘Baby’ Safe
Olivia Culpo is using offcuts of her hair to keep wild coyotes from stalking her pet dog.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, March 8, to detail her experience, Culpo, 33, revealed that she’d kept pieces of her hair from a recent cut to fend off threats that reside just outside her California home.
“I asked if I could take the hair we cut to sprinkle along my fence line to scare away the coyotes,” she wrote over a photo that captured her hair in a small plastic bag. “This is the level of insane dog mom I am but by the way, it works! The coyotes are everywhere and hungry.”
A subsequent Instagram Story featured footage of a coyote standing at the foot of her glass fence while peering into the model’s backyard. Culpo captioned it, “This video honestly still haunts me. A cute but hungry coyote … trying to eat my baby. And during the day.”
Culpo is fur mom to Oliver Sprinkles, an adopted Goldendoodle that she took in with her husband, NFL player Christian McCaffrey. The couple also share a human daughter, Colette, 8 months.
Culpo also shared footage of herself throwing her hair onto the surrounding grounds. “Yesterday I heard some rustling over here … not anymore. Coyotes, be gone,” she told fans in the clip.

Olivia Culpo’s Instagram Story Courtesy of Olivia Culpo/Instagram
According to Human Material Loop, an organization focused on sustainable innovation, “human hair has been used for centuries to repel animals and control pests in various ways.”
A doting mom to Oliver Sprinkles, Culpo created an Instagram account for her pup that’s attracted more than 30,000 followers. Prior to Culpo giving birth to her daughter, she shared a post in June 2025 that showed McCaffrey, 29, gazing adoringly at the pooch while cradling it on the couple’s back deck.
Another snap captured the athlete holding Oliver Sprinkles in his lap while seated on an aircraft.
Culpo recently opened up exclusively to Us Weekly about how her San Francisco 49ers star husband has adapted to fatherhood of the human variety. “I always knew he would be a really good dad because he’s a really good person,” Culpo told Us in January. “He has a really good example because his parents are great.”

She continued, “He will be such a good example and protector to her. I know that she’ll always be able to feel like she has someone who loves her more than anything. I feel like everybody deserves to feel that.”
Culpo evidently can’t help doting on her little one herself, sharing a collection of infant onesies via Instagram that supported the 49ers during the last NFL season. Several of the tiny creations even featured McCaffrey’s jersey number, 23, traced into the back of them.

Rachel Zoe’s Los Angeles Home Broken Into
Rachel Zoe‘s glam weekend in Las Vegas took a dark turn back home … ’cause TMZ has learned her Los Angeles house was broken into.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star’s Bel Air property was burglarized early Sunday morning while she was in Sin City for the opening of Zero Bond Las Vegas.
We’re told Zoe’s alarm company received an activation alert and the alarm company quickly notified police. Patrol units in the neighborhood responded and spotted two male suspects leaving the property. We’re told one of those suspects is in custody.
Our sources say no one was home during the break-in. It’s still unclear what — if anything — was taken.
We broke the story … Zoe’s “RHOBH” costars Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke were both burglarized last November while they were in Las Vegas for BravoCon. In fact, Kathy’s home is just a short walk from Rachel’s.
We’ve reached out to Zoe’s reps … so far, no word back.

Netflix’s Steamy New 8-Part Thriller Is Already Coming for ‘Bridgerton’s Crown
With Season 4 now fully released, Bridgerton has reigned over Netflix relatively uncontested for the past month and counting. The Regency Era series returned in January to tell the love story of Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) and Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and, unsurprisingly, immediately shot to the top of the streamer’s charts, where Part Two has remained globally ever since its premiere back in February. There are few shows capable of challenging Shonda Rhimes‘ much-loved adaptation of Julia Quinn‘s romance novels in the recent aftermath of a new season, considering not one, but two installments rank in the platform’s Top 10 English-language series of all time. However, a spicy, much-anticipated new thriller is starting to make a push for the crown.
Thursday marked the premiere of Vladimir, the miniseries take on Julia May Jonas‘ novel of the same name, starring The Mummy favorite Rachel Weisz. It follows a middle-aged English professor whose life begins unraveling amid a scandal at her college. During this, she becomes consumed by her obsession with one of her young colleagues, the dashing Vladimir (Leo Woodall), despite both of them being married. Regardless of the risks, she’s ready to do anything to make her fantasies a reality, pushing boundaries and bringing secrets to light in the process. In the words of the author herself, it “explores what women feel like they’re allowed to desire, and how they’re allowed to desire.” Judging from the streaming numbers so far, audiences desire the series, too.
Currently, Vladimir sits in second place on the platform, falling just behind Bridgerton and barely coming out ahead of The Night Agent, another of Netflix’s most-watched series that just got renewed for Season 4. Critics have been a bit more mixed on the final product, giving it a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences in general have shown they’re on board for the darkly comedic, seductive, and twisted tale being told through the star-studded cast, including John Slattery, Jessica Henwick, Matt Walsh, Kayli Carter, Miriam Silverman, Mallori Johnson, Tattiawna Jones, and Louise Lambert. Collider’s Taylor Gates lauded Weisz’s comedic performance in particular in her 8/10 review, saying, “By not leaning into its edgier, murkier elements, Vladimir stops short of being a masterpiece, but it’s still a hell of a lot of fun.”
Happy Birthday, Connie Britton — The Collider TV Quiz!
Let’s help a prolific star blow out her candles by celebrating some of her long-standing work in television.
What’s Next for Rachel Weisz After ‘Vladimir’?
Vladimir is only Weisz’s second leading television role, following her acclaimed dual turn in Prime Video’s 2023 series adaptation of David Cronenberg‘s Dead Ringers. Next, the Oscar winner will be heading back to the big screen and to easily one of her most beloved roles as Evelyn O’Connell. Last year, The Mummy fans got a big surprise when it was announced that Ready or Not directing duo Radio Silence would be helming a new sequel to the 1999 adventure film starring Weisz and Brendan Fraser, and it’ll premiere in May 2028.
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett managed to revitalize the Scream franchise after the death of Wes Craven, and they’re looking to do the same with the return to Egypt, which aims to begin shooting in August. In an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff for their sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, Gillett described the challenges of balancing nostalgia with new ideas as they take on such a beloved franchise.
“I feel like we have some muscle memory now. You don’t want to be too beholden to what came before, but you want to be really respectful of it. It’s walking that fine line of giving people and ourselves something new and fresh that stands on its own when it comes out without alienating what came before it, but also without just being nostalgia bait. I think it has to be both of those things.”
Vladimir is now available in its entirety on Netflix. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on all the biggest streaming hits throughout the year.

Logan Paul Says WWE Won’t Let Him Box NFL Players
The NFL’s toughest players are so lucky the WWE is holding Logan Paul back from fighting them … at least according to a tweet Logan posted today.
As you know … the YouTuber-turned-WWE Superstar threw down a challenge, claiming no football player could beat him in a boxing match — and offered $1 million to anyone willing to try. Well, there were a lot of people chomping at the bit. From former running back Le’Veon Bell to 6’3″, 300-pound nose tackle Breiden Fehoko, it seemed like almost everyone wanted a piece of Logan if the opportunity presented itself.
Welp. The bosses called
Turns out I’m too valuable of a WWE Superstar to be fighting bums
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate @LeVeonBell and @BreidenFehoko for their 15 minutes of relevancy. Now back to being broke and retired
I’m going back to RAW every Monday…
@LoganPaul
Now, it looks like the offer is off the table … and Logan is blaming his superiors.
He wrote, “Welp. The bosses called. Turns out I’m too valuable of a WWE Superstar to be fighting bums.”
He added … “I want to take this opportunity to congratulate LeVeon Bell and Breiden Fehoko for their 15 minutes of relevancy. Now back to being broke and retired. I’m going back to RAW every Monday on Netflix.”
But not everybody is buying Logan’s excuse.
Le’Veon commented with an edited pic of Logan wearing a clown nose and holding up a sign with the text, “I literally staged this phone call. That way when I decline I don’t look like a little bitch because I’m scared to fight.”
Another user wrote, “Literally not one person believes you. Afraid to back up your words because fighting actual athletes is the kryptonite of the ‘Paul Brothers.’ Enjoy the fake fighting you do for work though lmao.”
Whether you believe Logan’s excuse or not, one thing is clear … no fights are happening anytime soon.

Nancy Guthrie Case Not Linked to Phoenix Canal Body, Sheriff Says
Nancy Guthrie‘s disappearance remains unsolved and authorities say a body found in Phoenix is not currently tied to her case.
Pima County Sheriff’s Office tells us they have “not been notified of any connection reference that case to the Nancy Guthrie case,” addressing speculation surrounding a woman found dead along a canal in Phoenix on Friday.
Phoenix Police say officers responded to a call about an unresponsive adult female on a canal bank. When they arrived, the woman was located and pronounced dead at the scene. Her identity has not been released.
The discovery sparked online chatter because the location is roughly 100 miles from Tucson, where Nancy was taken from in the middle of the night on February 1. She was last seen entering her home just before 10 PM on January 31 after having dinner with her daughter Annie and Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni.
TMZ.com
We broke the story last week … Savannah visited the ‘TODAY’ studio in New York City, where we captured video of her greeting the show’s crew and Hoda Kotb and other NBC talent.

For now, authorities are drawing a clear line … no confirmed connection between the Phoenix canal death and Nancy’s case.

Doja Cat To Timothee Chalamet
You Have Opera & Ballet All Wrong …
People Do Care About it!!!
Published
Doja Cat is adding her name to the chorus of people slamming Timothee Chalamet over his ugly comments about opera and ballet.
The hip hop star posted a TikTok video Sunday to address the issue, kicking things off by noting opera and ballet are 400 and 500 years old, respectively. She then mispronounced Timothee’s name before saying he had the “audacity to tell the cameras that nobody cares about [opera and ballet].”
Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.
Doja also said she’s “pretty sure” that if anyone went to an opera house today, it would be totally packed with fans sitting silently during the performance because “they have so much respect” for the genre, which is “very beautiful!”
She also explained that dancers endure a lot of pain and suffering because they love what they do. Doja went on to say that even though the industry is going through a tough time, it doesn’t mean people don’t care about opera and ballet anymore.
As you know, Timothee has been getting a lot of heat lately after he said he wouldn’t want to work in opera and ballet just to keep the industry alive because “no one cares about this anymore.”
Timothee made the controversial remarks during a CNN-Variety town hall in Austin, Texas on February 21. The actor was discussing the future of the movie industry with Matthew McConaughey and making a comparison with the opera and ballet industries.
Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.
Since then, the Metropolitan Opera and other opera houses have blasted Timothee over his ugly remarks. The MET released a video showing its hardworking staff preparing for a performance with a caption that read, “This one’s for you, Timothee Chalamet.”

‘Tracker’ Is Still Missing 1 Thing After a Twisty Action-Packed Case for Colter
Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Tracker Season 3 Episode 11.With Tracker finally back to a weekly release schedule on CBS, “To the Bone” pushes Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) to the East Coast, which is probably good after all he dealt with on the West Coast last week. In addition to Colter’s latest case, the series expands on Reenie Greene’s (Fiona Rene) law practice with the start of a new subplot that shakes things up. But, as usual, most of the action remains with Colter, who finds himself tracking down a kid with a shady side job that leads to a bigger conspiracy.
‘Tracker’s “To the Bone” Begins With a Missing Person’s Case That’s Not Quite Straightforward
In Queens, New York, Ben Pateras (Ben Krieger), an employee at a local Greek restaurant, Stepho’s, pockets some tip money from the joint and locks up. Leaving the building, he’s met by a seemingly menacing vehicle. And it’s here that Tracker kicks off its latest case. 12 hours later, Colter Shaw arrives at the scene to meet Stath (Joshua Bitton) and Antonia Pateras (Sarah Strange), Ben’s parents and the owners of Stepho’s. They explain to the rewardist that Ben never deposited the $12,000 cash from the restaurant into the bank account, offering $10,000 to Colter if he can find their son. Stath takes our hero to the back lockers, where he explains how Ben has become an activist fighting for different causes. In Ben’s locker, Colter finds a spent cartridge from a taser, something Stath didn’t even know his son owned. Hoping for more clues, Colter and Stath head outside and find Ben’s phone. Upon meeting a homeless woman at the end of the street, they learn that Ben got into the car with a man who matches the description of a former Stepho’s employee: Elias Brawner (Alex Barima). According to Stath, Elias was fired for theft.
The hit CBS series was recently renewed for a fourth season.
Unsurprisingly, Randy (Chris Lee) finds Elias’ rap sheet and sends Colter to his last known address. But as the rewardist travels across town, back at Reenie’s Denver-based law office, she meets with a bulldog of a lawyer named Maxine (Kathleen Robertson) who wants to bring Reenie in on her latest case: a class-action lawsuit against a real estate developer. It may be “grunt work,” as Reenie notes, but Maxine is very persuasive. As she explains it, doing this job first could lead to a mutually beneficial relationship where she recommends Reenie to more high-profile clients. If this isn’t Tracker trying to start another mysterious Leo Sharf (Pej Vahdat) plotline, then we have no idea what to expect next. Hopefully this time it will tie back into the show’s overarching mythology somehow…
Back in New York, Colter arrives at Elias’ apartment and, when nobody answers, does his usual “breaking and entering” thing. It isn’t long before he makes a discovery: tons of fake passports and IDs. Just then, Elias walks in to find Colter there waiting for him. He makes a run for it, but Colter eventually gets to him and demands answers about Ben. According to Elias — who never stole anything from Stepho’s, by the way, he just took the fall for Ben, his business partner — Ben bought a car from him with the money from the restaurant and ran.
This Week’s ‘Tracker’ Dives Deep Into the Criminal Underworld
In Denver, Mel Day (Cassady McClincy Zhang) and Randy exchange their hesitations about the new job Reenie’s considering from Maxine, with Randy the more suspicious of the two. But Colter interrupts this little side plot by asking Randy to break into Ben’s laptop that he lifted from Elias’ apartment — oh, and to track Ben’s new car. (Who is really the tracker on this show?) While the laptop is going to take some time, Randy gets a hit on the car in record time, sending Colter to the junkyard where it was last seen. While there, Colter finds the car and discovers the dead body of a young woman in the trunk. After the police arrive, local NYPD Detective Blake (Sandy Sidhu) confirms the woman’s identity as Nadia Fedosh, who is in the U.S. on a visa. While Blake thinks Ben is responsible, Colter doesn’t believe so due to a second set of tire tracks. But the bloodhound that is Colter Shaw is soon chasing a new lead when Randy — who is basically just a wizard at this point — uses the metadata from Nadia’s fake ID photo to send him to a new address.
It’s here that “To the Bone” takes a bit of a detour, as we follow Reenie in her pre-lawsuit interviews. When the lawyer tries to speak with Simone Arthur, a former employee of the real estate company in question, regarding the class-action lawsuit, she meets with her mother, Josephine (Allegra Fulton), instead. After one of the most awkward moments a lawyer could have outside the courtroom, we learn that Simone died two months prior of cancer. On that downer, Tracker returns to the main event as Colter arrives at the address Randy sent his way, once again breaking in (though, to be fair, this time the door was already ajar). Inside, he discovers a locked basement that contains several floor beds in the same room, in poor condition. But things get a bit more complicated when he stumbles into a room all dressed up and adorned with ring light cameras and other recording devices. It appears to be some sort of human trafficking/illegal webcam operation.
While there, Colter gets Randy to recover a video from one of the loitering webcams where Ben attempts to rescue a girl named Kendall (Andrea Abreu), leading to his capture. Unfortunately for Colter, he’s no longer alone. Although he gets a drop on the thug returning to the scene, a fight endures before Colter gets him in a vice. The hired gun gives up the names of the sister-brother duo Eliza (Jessie Fraser) and Nico Watts (Jon Bryant), the ringleaders of the whole operation, who are currently holding Ben captive.
Collider Acrostic — The Collider TV Quiz!
Can you answer these television questions, wherein each correct response begins with a successive letter of the word “Collider”?
This Week’s ‘Tracker’ Ends With a Heartfelt Family Reunion and a Promise of More
It turns out that the names of the Watts siblings were all that the dynamic duo of Colter Shaw and Randy (do we still not know his last name?) needed, because their research sends the former to a nightclub called Celebrities. After sneaking in with some hired hands, Colter conveniently makes his way to the basement just in time to stop another goon from assassinating Ben. After Colter dispatches the would-be killer, he tries to get Ben to safety, but he refuses to get out of harm’s way until he can save Kendall. Although he didn’t reveal her hidden location, the Watts’ discovered it anyhow — and are on their way to take her out.
Speeding across town, Colter and Ben do everything they can to get to Kendall in time. As it turns out, Kendall was the one who found Nadia’s body and called Ben to help her move it to avoid being blamed for the Watts’ crimes. It’s because of what she knows that she’s being hunted — and why Ben was nearly killed. But before Colter can arrive, the Watts siblings show up and grab Kendall. However, with some record network television timing on his side, Colter gets to the motel just in time to stumble upon them as they threaten the frightened girl at knifepoint. Nico spots Colter, and the two get into a brief firefight before the rewardist takes his opponent out, saving Kendall before Eliza can use her as leverage. With that, Ben and Kendall are safe, and Colter has secured his latest reward.
Of course, this isn’t where “To the Bone” ends. That evening in Denver, Reenie and Randy discuss the weirdness surrounding the real estate case, with Reenie still unsure whether she’s going to get involved. But she’s certainly interested, at the very least, because she thinks there’s something suspicious going on that ought not to be covered up. How that plotline will progress remains to be seen. Back in New York, Colter returns Ben and Kendall to the former’s parents safe and sound. Ben’s parents are willing to help take Kendall in for the time being, without any question at all. Grateful for his son’s return, Stath repeats an old Greek phrase to Colter: “Ísoun o sotíras,” meaning “You were our savior.”

Netflix’s Gripping 8-Part Thriller Refreshingly Rewrites a Tired Genre
As well-worn as the subgenre is, “what would you do?” thrillers just hit that sweet spot. Combine this with an effectively executed gimmick and genuine moral ambiguity, and we get the surprisingly addictive That Night. Here, the scenario is: what would you do if your sibling called you in the middle of the night and confessed they killed someone? Then, the next episode begins, and the scenario changes as the events are told from a different perspective, catalyzing a series of unreliable narrators and shifting realities all stemming from that night. The kicker? Even the night in question changes.
Created by Jason George (Narcos), this Spanish thriller is an adaptation of a 2021 page-turner of the same name by British author Gillian McAllister and unfolds treacherously, peeling back layers of story and of the family dynamics at the crux of it all. It may begin as a high-stakes thriller about the consequences of an unwitting kill, but That Night evolves into a far more resonant family drama, one that gorgeously and quite painfully questions the worth of family loyalty.
What Is ‘That Night’ About?
In the sunny Dominican Republic, happy-go-lucky Cris (Paula Usero) locks up her recently established animal shelter and picks up a fateful phone call from her youngest sister Elena (Clara Galle). As any good sister should, Cris hears the tears in Elena’s voice and immediately comes to the rescue, finding her car parked on a dirt road near the beach. When she arrives, their third sister, Paula (Claudia Salas), is already there, and they are aghast to see the dead body of a policeman jutting from underneath Elena’s car.
Between arguments, they decide to bury the body and dispose of the evidence, helping Elena, who is also a single mother to a one-year-old, evade prison. In doing so, the sisters’ bond is strained as they’re forced to face the consequences of all the secrets that lurked around that night, ones that ripple and alter their family forever.
‘That Night’ Refreshes Two Overused Techniques in the Thriller Genre
Initially, going into That Night, the show appears to be relying on two clichés to attract attention: the self-insert hook and the Rashomon effect. Admittedly, the combination of the two makes for an engaging, if not gimmicky, watch, but once the novelty wears off halfway through the second episode, where we witness the same narrative beats just from a different perspective, it’s clear that this route isn’t sustainable. They tread the same ground and arrive at the same endpoint while only incrementally shedding light on the central mystery, focusing on characterization instead. However, once the series emerges from this repetitive period, that’s when it really takes off — with Episode 3 rewriting all your expectations.
From the third episode onward, That Night demonstrates the true power of combining these two techniques, as the truth not only changes forms but also how we interact with the show. As we’re forced to consider different perspectives, another “what would you do?” arises, each more morally ambiguous than the previous. It’s as if the show were pushing our boundaries rather than just the characters’, inviting us into the fold on an unnerving level. The plotting itself is relatively straightforward but confident nonetheless, ensuring the POV shifts don’t become disorienting while still maintaining a provocative atmosphere in its questions of fluid ethics and loyalty.
Episode 3 also marks a drastic tonal shift from a fairly standard thriller laced with dark comedy to something with far more weight and devastation. That Night deftly becomes an insightful dissertation on family dynamics, giving each relationship a fair shake and exploring how far fidelity can actually go before it buckles under the weight of guilt, reason, or justice. What remains throughout the series is a steadfast suspense, especially once we grow to distrust the narrators’ retelling of events or as we empathize with their viewpoint and actions. Episodes hit around the 40-minute mark, each tightly woven and generally fast-paced in the emotions and ramifications it explores, rather than the progression of the plot itself.
Family Tensions Are Beautifully Explored in ‘That Night’
The relationships between Paula, Cris, and Elena make up most of That Night‘s meticulous investigation into family and morality, where each actor effortlessly plays into their characters’ idiosyncrasies. Usero makes Cris delightfully naive and impulsive, then achingly tears off the rose-colored glasses in an increasingly conflicted spiral, while Salas gives Paula a dry wit and fierce protectiveness over her sisters that feels authentic and desperate. Galle, however, stands out as Elena, whose custody over her precious daughter has just been threatened by her own actions, sending her into a wretched state that is tantalizing to watch unfold. Their chemistry and credibility as sisters is what makes That Night possible, each vastly different but bound by a tragic childhood and present.
As far as the supporting cast goes, Paula’s wife, played by Nüll García, is probably in the most polarizing role in the story, yet García manages to garner sympathy — a difficult and commendable feat. In a similar position is Pedro Casablanc, who gives a particularly gut-wrenching performance later in the series, contrasting neatly with his character’s initial zealous and disparaging attitude towards the sisters. That Night strikes a balance between highlighting the central triangle while giving platforms for these other characters to shine, a balance that becomes integral to its ability to manipulate the viewer’s perception of how far you’re supposed to go for those you love.
Every character in That Night is deeply flawed in some way or another, and their moments of humanity never necessarily redeem them, but instead paint a holistic, contemplative portrait of a person struggling between their morality and their love. Within this gray area is where the show hits its stride, where its capacity to enthrall using two seemingly tired thriller tropes resides. It may start on uneven ground, but once it truly starts digging up the truths and questions the characters would rather ignore, there’s no going back.
That Night premieres March 13 on Netflix.
