Episode 14 of *Beauty in Black* opens with a tense scene: Jules' men are scouring the area in search of Sylvie. Meanwhile, Roy remains confined to the hospital bed throughout this ordeal, and Mallory is burning with a desire for retribution. She pulls a devious move, insisting to the doctor that Roy has an opioid addiction and therefore should not receive any more painkillers. Her intent is clear—she wants him to suffer as much as possible. As Mallory exits the hospital room, she doesn't leave empty-handed; she takes Roy's phone with her, determined to uncover the identity of the woman he's been seeing.
Unfazed by Mallory's machinations, Jules brushes off her concerns and proceeds to visit Roy himself. On the other end of the line, Mallory calls Charles and then makes her way to Delinda’s Dolls, having pieced together that Kimmie is the mysterious woman in Roy's life. Roy is far from pleased with the situation, and his thirst for vengeance against Kimmie burns just as fiercely as Mallory's.
Jules informs Roy that they have Kimmie under surveillance, but Roy's fury knows no bounds. He issues a chilling directive to Jules: push Kimmie out of a window. Jules, however, stands his ground, refusing to carry out such a reckless act. He points out that he needs to keep a low profile for the time being. After all, he's already covered up a hit-and-run for Roy, and he believes Mallory is more than capable of meting out punishment. Eventually, a twisted compromise is reached: both Roy and Mallory will take turns in exacting their revenge on Kimmie.
Next, Trackson arrives at the hospital, admitting to Jules that he has no clue about Sylvie's whereabouts. They both know she hasn't left the club, but their search efforts have been lackluster at best.
Meanwhile, Horace calls Varney and breaks the news that they need to secure another judge for the case. Varney agrees and, in the same breath, once again brings up the false rumors swirling around about him having an affair with Mallory. Horace, however, is already well aware that these rumors are baseless, and he too is on the hunt for Kimmie.
Rain reaches out to Kimmie, urging her to place her trust in Horace. But Kimmie is hesitant, unsure of how to proceed. She sits in her car, lost in thought as she contemplates her next move. Back at the club, Calvin and Mallory make an appearance. Mallory spots Charles, and what ensues is a dysfunctional family reunion filled with banter. As they sit together, Mallory's eyes continue to scan the room, her gaze fixed on finding Kimmie.
Horace finally catches up with Kimmie and clambers into the car she's pilfered. Seated beside her, they hatch a meticulous plan to extricate Sylvie from the club, with Angel as their unwitting accomplice. Kimmie promptly dials Angel's number, filling him in on the unfolding drama and urging him to place his trust in Horace.
Alas, fate has other plans. Before Angel can spring into action, Trackson imprisons him in a closet, sealing his fate. Simultaneously, Sylvie is discovered in a closet by Felicia, the newly appointed head girl, who promptly ushers her outside. Sylvie's newfound "duty" is to welcome a fresh customer in the parking lot—none other than Horace himself.
Inside Horace's truck, a tense dialogue ensues, with Kimmie on the line, vowing to orchestrate their escape. Yet, the path to freedom is fraught with peril. In a selfless act, Kimmie decides to sacrifice herself for her sister's liberation. Seizing the opportunity, Jules pounces, dragging Kimmie back inside the club's clutches.
Meanwhile, Norman stumbles upon Debo, whose tale reeks of inconsistency under Norman's relentless probing. Debo, torn between the fear of Jules' wrath and the looming threat from Norman, finds himself ensnared in a web of deceit. Undeterred, Norman resolves to extract the truth, brandishing a knife as a stark reminder of the consequences that await.
