Sophia's House: Tate arrives to pick up Sophia who doesn't feel like celebrating. She says she is feeling ok but gets a good swift kick every five minutes. Tate grabs a feel and notes how real everything is getting. Sophia doesn't think she's going to be much fun, but Tate wants her to come along. She's also worried about how close she is to giving birth and how they don't have an adoptive family. Further, she thinks if Tate sees the baby, he won't want to give it up.
Horton Square: Holly runs into Arianna Grace and says she's celebrating graduation. Arianna says she would hang but she's having dinner with her parents. They chat a bit about boys when young Douglas walks up and quickly exits.

Arianna Grace asks if Sophia has a thing for Tate. She provides a little history and says she's always kind of crushed on him. Arianna wonders why she's giving up the baby. Sophia says neither of them are ready to become parents and doesn't want Tate with her out of a sense of duty. She thinks they may be able to revisit the situation after the baby is born and adopted.
Holly and Tate return with treats when Aaron arrives. Tate immediately embraces his bestie, and he says he's back for graduation. Just then, Holly realizes she needs to call her mother and dashes.

Brady Pub: Young Douglas goes through the pub mail and finds something addressed to him. He opens the letter and sees pictures of himself and several more of Arianna Grace and Holly. The note inside says it would be a shame if something happened to those pretty faces.
Greene Central: Chad arrives, and Cat wonders why. He says he's there to apologize with what happened with Jennifer Rose. Cat thinks her response is totally justified but he disagrees. Chad says he doesn't begrudge Jack and JRo their opinion but they're not going to dictate with whom he socializes. Chad says Abigail is gone and he has to move forward with his life. Cat understands and says she is trying to find a way to move forward after the accident which killed her father and the one which put her in the hospital for two years.

Hernandez House: Leo and Javi arrive home and are all over each other. Just then, young Douglas arrives with the envelope in tow. Javi decides to leave them alone as he needs to 'go get ready' (Hmmm…). Left alone, Doug shows Leo the contents of the envelope and asks if he could get a loan to get these goons to back down. Leo agrees to give him as much as he can spare.
Horton Square: Aaron sits with Sophia and have an adorkably awkward conversation. He notes how before he moved away, he thought they might end up together.
Holly tells Tate that her mother said she would be there or graduation (really?). She's also looking at colleges in Europe. Holly wonders if Tate has considered where he will go to school. Tate admits he got into Salem U as after rehab he never got his grades back on track. Holly realizes she is the reason his life was so side-tracked.
Endings
Young Douglas thanks Leo for helping him with money and support. Leo says he also has a lead on the Horton necklace, but he probably won't be able to afford to buy it back. Leo asks how Doug got into this mess to begin with. Doug says he was delivering merchandise for this man so they could sell it on the down low. One night, he stopped at a bar and met a woman. The next morning his car had been vandalized, and all the merchandise was gone. The men he's dealing with now are even worse. Doug thanks him for his help and support and exits. Just then, Javi comes back in the room saying the room is ready for their celebration.
Arianna Grace exits to the restroom and calls young Douglas, and he ignores it.
Cat decides she should make Chad dinner, and he agrees to hang out.
Sophia is surprised to learn Aaron thought they would end up together. He understands so many things have changed since then which leads Sophia to look over at Holly and Tate.
Holly says how badly she feels about Tate taking the blame for her choices. Tate says he always wants to protect and support her. Holly used to believe that was true and then says he should get back to Sophia. She hugs him close before sending him on his way.

Advertisement According to a report by Jacob Feldman of Portico, this massive development represents more than 700,000 new followers on TikTok and over 250,000 new followers on Instagram. This huge jump comes right after Cunningham grabbed all sorts of headlines for her actions in the Fever's 88-71 win over the Connecticut Sun. That matchup turned out to be quite a testy affair between the two teams, with Cunningham getting herself involved in one of the most contentious moments in the game. Cunningham was ejected late in the fourth quarter for a flagrant foul 2 on Sun guard Jacy Sheldon, who, for her part, was involved in an earlier incident with Caitlin Clark. Fever fans loved how Cunningham appeared to retaliate on behalf of Clark after the Indiana superstar was poked in the eye and shoved to the ground earlier in the game. The supporters showed their love to the 28-year-old on social media, and the fact that Cunningham has earned close to a million new followers on TikTok and Instagram combined serves as proof of the same.

Beyond The Gates Recap: Nicole Chooses Herself Over Her Marriage
Beyond The Gates Recap: Nicole Chooses Herself Over Her Marriage originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Police Station: Jacob tells his father about June's case and the clean up crew. Elon says how proud he is of his son when he gets a call and walks away. Just then, Smitty arrives to see Jacob. He asks if they can go elsewhere as what he has to share is about a police officer. Specifically, he has come across information about one of their officers being on the take, as Elon listens in. Jacob reluctantly agrees to head out and the two exit. Elon makes a call to meet up with someone in their regular place. Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Vernon enters and is screaming at someone on the phone about losing the young waiter. He promises the person on the other end will pay the price. Vernon plays the piano when the phone buzzes. He picks up and says, 'what now?!' When he hears Anita's voice, Vernon apologizes and tries to cover. He asks about The Articulettes and she says things are going swimmingly. Anita wonders what Vernon isn't telling her but he continues to cover. Fairmont Country Club: Martin catches up with the young waiter who finally admits their connection from that dreaded night. He says Martin's friends in high places kept him comfortable for a while but he's back to make certain he pays for his sins. Martin wonders the sins of which he speaks, and the young waiter speaks loudly about a dark night on a back road several years ago. Martin asks how much to make him disappear. The young waiter says he has lost the last two years of his life while everyone else pays for Martin's sins. He notes when you are black royalty everyone else cleans up your messes (another race-based comment). The young waiter says he must speak for his brother who is no longer with them (a clue!). He says Martin should trust him as his day is coming. With that, he storms off. Garland Memorial Hospital - Lobby: Vanessa walks in talking to Joey about their next connection. As they hang up, Doug walks up. She says will be meeting with Joey in empty homes for sale. He tells his wife to make sure she cleans up the bedroom. Vanessa wonders why he agreed to work with Joey when he's clearly not comfortable. They move out of the main lobby where Doug says he never wanted Vanessa to agree to anything illegal to pay off his debt. She thinks his displeasure has more to do with Joey than the legalities. Doug says he knows his wife is attracted to the danger Joey brings. She says she has a plan to learn everything about Joey and will cover her ass. Doug gets snarky before apologizing. Vanessa warns him not to judge her as he is responsible for their current situation. Doug wonders where their marriage will be when all is said and done. Garland Memorial Hospital – Ted's Office: Nicole arrives to say he got the flowers, and she says there's no need to continue to send them as she doesn't take them home. Nicole has actually arrived for them to consider revising their living trust and medical proxies. Ted wants to move back in so they can save their marriage before it's too late. He wants to somehow show her that he is still worthy of her love and trust. Nicole just can't with Ted and says these are things she needs to do for her. Ted goes on and on trying to convince her to give their marriage another chance but finally concedes defeat. Nicole says she has practiced the words, 'I forgive you. Please come home.' However, she doesn't believe them and can never say them. Nicole can't forget what he did with Leslie, the lies he told and how it all makes her feel like their history together is completely false. She says Ted broke her. He is trying to save their marriage while she is trying to save herself. With that, she gathers her papers and exits. Orphey Gene's: Smitty talks about the puff piece on Marcel and Jacob realizes he thinks his partner is on the take. Jacob immediately freaks because Marcel is his partner and their careers are linked. Smitty says it's why he came to him directly so they can review the evidence together. Smitty shows him the information about the connection to Joey and Jacob says it's all speculation. Smitty continues with the information about the house and boat in the Carribean and Marcel's plan to move there after retirement. Jacob counters none of that is a secret as he tells everyone. Smitty continues by discussing Marcel's bank records noting a recent $5,000 cash deposit… leading Jacob to remember seeing Marcel and Joey's handoff a few months prior. Smitty notes another deposit of the same amount two years ago but for half a million dollars. Smitty realizes Jacob knows something and tells Smitty about the handoff he witnessed. However, his father said it was a part of an undercover operation. Jacob says Marcel being dirty is one thing. It's a whole other thing if they're talking about his father, the Chief of Police, also being dirty and lying to his face. Smitty apologizes for the position he's put Jacob in. Jacob thinks if his dad is involved in all of this, Marcel is playing him. Smitty asks Jacob to think back two years. Were there any big investigations that suddenly dried up? Jacob admits he was on patrol back then but would have heard about anything wonky. Jacob still wants to maintain the possibility that everything is a coincidence. Smitty bets his journalist instinct that something happened two years ago that benefitted Marcel to the tune of 500k and maintains the link is through Joey Armstrong. Joey's Gambling Pit: Marcel and Elon meet up and discuss how there's been a hack into his bank accounts from an unknown computer. They both know for a fact Smitty is responsible. Elon recounts how Smitty just told Jacob about his suspicions before they left the precinct together. Just then, Joey walks in. The three men take a seat and play cards. Joey makes digs at how bad they are at the game but they are more worried about their current situation and how they shut it down. Elon says he will try to throw his son off the scent. Marcel thinks Smitty is still a problem and is willing to take him out. Joey thinks violence is never a proper solution and wants to deal another hand. Elon says he's out as life is enough of a gamble these days. Just then, Vanessa arrives on the scene and Joey introduces her to the police chief and detective as his gambling buddies and her as his business partner. With that, Joey pushes the two men out Anita and Vernon's Mansion: Martin walks in and Vernon says he was right to fill him in on the latest. Grandpa is not thrilled his grandson disregarded his orders and confronted the young waiter. Vernon says he made a call and confirmed the dreaded night from two years ago has come back to haunt them. Martin notes the young waiter's words and tone of voice saying he wants to destroy them. Vernon sets his jaw and says that will never happen. Vernon tells his grandson to mind his business and simply let him know when the young waiter approaches with his demands. Garland Memorial Hospital – Lobby: Doug leaves Vanessa in his dust when Nicole walks up. She asks if her friend is ok and Vanessa says she is living the life she wants to live and everyone else can kick rocks. With that, she dramatically makes her exit. Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings As Ted leaves the hospital, he spies Nicole who turns her back on him. Joey pours Vanessa a martini and says they need to establish some boundaries for their new relationship. He thinks there are topics to avoid but she wants to know everything. He knows if she knew everything about him that she would quickly disappear. Vanessa thinks he should try her. Jacob doesn't know how he's supposed to go back to the station and pretend he doesn't know what he does. Martin knows it's a problem and hates he gets to go home and simply spend time with his family (little does he know). Vernon tells Martin he will take care of the family as he always has. Martin asks that his grandfather never lie to him again. He needs to be apprised of everything his grandfather knows. Vernon agrees and Martin exits. Afterwards, Vernon grabs his phone, calls someone and says, 'he's back.' Keep checking back for the latest Beyond The Gates recaps!

Wordle hints today for #1,463: Clues and answer for Saturday, June 21
Hey, there! Welcome to the weekend. We hope it's a fabulous one for you. If you're looking for some help with today's Wordle, you've come to the right place. Here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Saturday's puzzle (#1,463). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets and Discord. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Friday, June 20 — TAUPE Thursday, June 19 — CURIO Wednesday, June 18 — MUNCH Tuesday, June 17 — PRANK Monday, June 16 — PETTY Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: An open area in a forest. There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is G. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... GLADE Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.
