Kicking off the video preview is a whole new Nicole (Daphn\u00e9e Duplaix). The serious doctor must have learned a lot about herself when she went on the WinterFest blind date with Dr. Kial Rollins (Greg Vaughan). Because next week, Dr. Dupree is on another date, and it\u2019s with Carlton (Robert Christopher Riley), who\u2019s apparently back in town!<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is this fun, loving, adventuress?\u201d Carlton asks in awe. \u201cNicole Dupree, Phase 2,\u201d she boldly responds. It wasn\u2019t too long ago that Nicole was busy licking the wounds she received from the disastrous end to her marriage. Now she\u2019s dating two guys. Nicole\u2019s finally healing and realizing she doesn\u2019t always need to be stuffy and judgy. It\u2019s time to have fun.<\/p>\n

Hayley\u2019s Past is Present<\/p>\n

On the Friday, December 12, episode<\/a> of BTG, Hayley (Marquita Goings) met Bill\u2019s new client and had an immediate reaction. She clearly knew the woman who desperately needed legal help.<\/p>\n

Her name was Lynette Wise (Dominique Madison), and on Monday, she and Hayley are out and about, probably reconnecting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI invited someone,\u201d Hayley tells Lynette. \u201cRandy?\u201d Lynette responds, seeing Hayley\u2019s cousin walking up to their table. \u201cLong time no see,\u201d Randy (Maurice P. Kerry) counters. So Lynette is well-versed enough in Hayley\u2019s life to know Randy. Who is this woman to the cousins? What\u2019s the connection?<\/p>\n

Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) isn\u2019t one to gossip, except when she is (which is all the time). So, it\u2019s no surprise to see that she divulges the \u2018secret\u2019 she thinks she has been holding on to for about two minutes. And Ted\u2019s jaw drops at what he hears. \u201cYou\u2019re saying Vernon Dupree had an affair,\u201d Ted (Keith D. Robinson) inquires.<\/p>\n

The plastic surgeon looks like he just found out aliens existed. Poor Ted. He was about to spit out who Vernon (Clifton Davis) was cheating on Anita with when the action cuts immediately to the Articulettes gathered at the Dupree headquarters, AKA Anita and Vernon\u2019s mansion. \u201cI came here to cheer you up. And here I am sticking my foot in my mouth,\u201d Sharon (Bonita Brisker) admits to Anita (Tamara Tunie).<\/p>\n

\u201cNo news there,\u201d Anita quickly says with a tone that screams unhappiness and disappointment. Those two are always clashing.<\/p>\n

Dani and Andre Live Their Bliss<\/p>\n

Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) still can\u2019t comprehend how Dani (Karla Mosley) has moved on with her young husband. \u201cI\u2019m surprised the honeymoon phase has lasted this long,\u201d he says. Dani responds by telling her ex-husband that Andre (Sean Freeman) is \u201cthe real deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The preview ends on a fun note at Dani and Andre\u2019s house, gearing up for some quality honeymoon time. \u201cSo, why do you need me in your bedroom to help you with all the uh presents?\u201d Andre somewhat innocently wants to know. \u201cMore along the lines of\u2026unwrapping the presents,\u201d Dani explains. After that, Dani and Andre can\u2019t get to the bedroom quickly enough.<\/p>\n
