Beyond The Gates - S2Ep99 - 06.02.26 - Smitty lectures Kat and jokes with Dani (1/2)

While at Uptown, Smitty crosses paths with his sister-in-law, Kat, who enthusiastically shares her passion for true-crime podcasts and boasts that she can usually identify the culprit before the big reveal. Inspired by her hobby, Kat reveals plans to launch her own podcast, with her first episode focusing on the mysterious disappearance of Lynnette Wise and asks for Smitty to be a guest. She points to the fallout surrounding recently arrested Chief of Staff Lia Whitmore, who was allegedly deceived by Lynnette and suffered significant financial losses as a result. Concerned by Kat's willingness to speculate publicly, Smitty cautions her against openly accusing anyone of murder and reminds her that investigations require evidence, due process, and proper procedures. Although Kat agrees, she argues that bureaucracy and red tape often slow progress, echoing lessons she's heard from Jacob in the past. Later, Smitty heads to the police station to attend Jacob's commendation ceremony, celebrating his successful work on his first undercover investigation. During the gathering, Smitty and his aunt-in-law, Dani, keep the mood light with playful jokes and banter, helping turn the formal occasion into a warm family celebration.
