The sixth episode of "Beauty in Black" unfolds with Mallory striding purposefully towards her workplace, amidst escalating cancer protests. Her determination to address the protesters is unwavering—she insists on their disposal, whatever the cost. Her mind is fixated on eliminating Lena Walton, the attorney who, in episode one, served her with a lawsuit. Jules, sensing the tension, reminds Mallory that the family's own circumstances are increasingly volatile, referencing the mysterious "handling" of Ina. Mallory ponders whether Lena should meet a similar fate.
Elsewhere, Kimmie displays a startling lack of reaction as Yolanda returns and sets Angel's car ablaze outside. She stands frozen, her sorrow over Rain's demise barely flickering in her eyes, as she casually mentions the incident. Angel, unperturbed by the fire, reveals he was approached for penile implants, which he summarily declined. Kimmie, aware of the implanters' sinister reputation, wonders if they might be linked to the Bellarie family.
Tormented by guilt over Rain's death, Kimmie grapples with acceptance, while Angel remains steadfast in his resolve to rob Horace.
Meanwhile, Norman is insistent on transferring Ina to another hospital. A disagreement erupts among the nurses, creating a chaotic scene. Amid this turmoil, Mallory arrives to visit Norman at the hospital. She feigns ignorance about Ina's plight, vowing that Roy would never have allowed such a condition to befall her. Norman, visibly frustrated, provides Mallory with an opening to deflect blame onto Charles or, alternatively, suggest a possible vendetta against him.
Meanwhile, Roy finds himself face to face with Lena, just beyond the confines of Beauty in Black Headquarters. After serving him with legal papers, she smooths over the blow with charming words, reminding him of their long-standing connection. Lena insists on hashing things out privately, far from Mallory's influence.
Upon entering the building, Roy discovers Gillian camped out in Mallory's office, eager to please him and assure him that her actions are solely her own, devoid of Mallory's manipulative hand. Yet, Roy remains unconvinced by Gillian's guile and instead, Lena's enticing propositions swirl in his mind, tempting him to consider a meeting.
Kimmie's phone buzzes with a call from her sister, Sylvie, whose voice conveys the turmoil back home. Frank's overbearing presence casts a dark shadow, while Sylvie clings to a fragile thread of hope—escaping to Chicago to be with her sister, where Kimmie has painted a vivid picture of success and camaraderie.
Unburdening herself to Angel, Kimmie spills the details of her family's strife. Angel urges her to push forward with their scheme to pilfer from Horace, suggesting they seize the money and whisk Sylvie away.
Regarding teamwork, Roy and Mallory's alliance teeters precariously, held together solely by the allure of shared stakes. Their union lacks any profound bond, existing merely for financial gain. Jules cautions Roy against physically dispersing the protesters, warning that such action could escalate into a national scandal.
Roy ponders a rendezvous with Lena, seeing it as a potential resolution, but Jules disputes this, arguing that Mallory or Horace should address the matter. Without delay, Jules confronts Mallory about Roy's intentions, and together, they brainstorm a solution.
Concurrently, Norman receives dire news en route to the next hospital—Ina has passed away. Consumed by grief and anger, Norman snaps, firing shots at the EMTs and abandoning the scene in a haze of sorrow and fury.
