‘Beyond the Gates’ ‘The Impaler’ Is Finally Unmasked in a Shocking Sibling Confrontation
Beyond the Gates reveals the Impaler as Heather Armstrong, Joey’s long-lost sister, shocking fans with this twist on CBS and Paramount+.
Beyond the Gates fans have been speculating for months as to the identity of the mysterious Impaler, but now the answer has finally been revealed, as Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) came face to face with his sister Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones), who revealed herself as being the head of the criminal organization.
Initially, Joey didn’t believe his eyes, as the sister that he hadn’t seen in years was before him. Joey quickly questions Heather and her involvement. “Not who you were expecting?” she questioned her brother.
“The Impaler shares your flare for the dramatic, he promises a one on one and sends you in his place.” Joey angerly ask. He then questions Heather’s involvement. “His emissary? His wife? His right hand woman?”
Heather explains she lives in London. Joey shared that he had hoped Heather would have a happy and normal life, but then questions what her connection to “the Impaler” is when Heather reveals the truth. “I am the Impaler.”
“I’m not the little girl you have to protect anymore, I learned from the best, you and dad.”
Heather shares how she dealt with the sexism of their father, instead of staying home and minding the house, she created a larger organization than he could ever do.
Heather than reveals that the illegal blood plasma ring will no longer be taking place in Fairmont Crest. She then offers Joey the ability to work together and help build a giant organization.
Joey declines, sharing that he is happy with where things are. Heather simply allows the conversation to end there, but not before hugging her brother goodbye.
This ends the speculation as to who the Impaler is, but with the crime lords arrival in Fairmont Crest, the question now becomes, what will happen next.
