Plot Twist of the Week: 'The Deadly Getaway' Proves Love Can Be Lethal

Yandy Smith-Harris stars in a twisted thriller where romance, betrayal, and murder collide.

Last week's BET Friday Night Kickback kept viewers on edge with a double feature, including The Deadly Getaway — a thriller that proves sometimes, the person you love might just be the one you should fear. In her acting debut, Yandy Smith-Harris stars alongside Jason Weaver in a story where a romantic anniversary trip turns into a deadly game of survival.

Missed it? Let’s break down the wild ride (spoiler alert ahead):

The Setup:
Hope (Yandy Smith-Harris) and Jacob (Jason Weaver) head out for a cozy weekend getaway. But the vibes get messy fast when Hope’s ex — who just so happens to be vacationing nearby with his new girlfriend — crashes the scene. Awkward small talk turns shady real quick, but the real danger kicks in once it's revealed that the ex is a wanted fugitive. When the campground owners recognize him from a news broadcast, he snaps — kicking off a deadly chain of events fueled by obsession, jealousy, and unfinished business.

Friday Night Kickback: Two Thrillers, One Unmissable Double Feature—and the Perfect Pairings to Match

The Twists:

  • Plot Twist #1: Turns out, Hope isn’t so innocent. Back in the day, she used her job as a real estate agent to scope out homes for her ex to rob. She wasn’t just along for the ride — she was the brains behind the heists.
  • Plot Twist #2: Hope plays everyone. When her ex goes off-script and starts killing random people, she seizes the opportunity to clean house — and make off with the money herself. The woman you thought was the victim? She’s actually the ultimate villain.

Fun Fact:
Yandy Smith-Harris didn’t just star in the movie — she executive produced it too. Plus, Love & Hip-Hop alum Princess Love pops up as the ex’s new girlfriend. In a shady wink to their reality TV past, Hope even throws a line about "Love & Hip-Hop’s finest" when side-eyeing the couple's relationship.

Moral of the story?
Watch your exes — and your fiancés. And maybe don’t trust your real estate agent either.
