Episode 4 of *Beauty in Black* Season 2 kicks off with a dramatic entrance: Delinda’s son, also christened Horace, arrives at the club and attempts to gain entry. Trackson, ever the vigilant bouncer, promptly ejects him. Meanwhile, amidst the pulsating lights and throbbing bass, a stripper named Dustin sidles up to Andy, spinning a web of conspiracy about Charles’s immense wealth and hatching a plan to rob him.
In another corner of this intricate web, Rain confides in Kimmie, revealing that Horace has orchestrated a hit on Alex. Enraged, Kimmie begins packing her bags, determined to flee. Rain implores her to hold her horses until she returns. Kimmie, in turn, tries her utmost to persuade Sylvie to leave the dangerous environment. She calls Rain, urging her not to place her trust in Alex.
In a candid moment, Kimmie opens up to her sister, laying bare the harrowing truth of her ordeal and how she found herself ensnared in the Bellario family’s clutches.
Elsewhere, Angel arrives at his ex-partner Yolanda’s doorstep, searching for his son. Yolanda, resolute and unyielding, refuses to divulge his whereabouts and summarily kicks Angel out.
At the hospital, the doctor delivers grim news to Horace, stating that they cannot save his life. In a last-ditch effort, Horace mentions a treatment facility in Thailand. The doctor retorts, suggesting that a traditional Eastern Medicine facility might offer a glimmer of hope.
In a bustling restaurant, a tipsy Olivia creates a scene. Mallory and Varney attempt to intervene, but Olivia, unyielding, demands that they leave her be. Stepping outside, she catches Mallory and Varney in conversation. She requests Varney to drive her home and tells Mallory to make her own way. When Mallory refuses to comply, Olivia accuses her of infidelity toward her son.
Mallory, maintaining her composure, instructs Varney to drive Olivia home, adding that she would be accompanying them. During the car ride, Rain subtly tries to extract information from Alex about a vehicle she could use for her escape.
Meanwhile, Jules is ensconced in Harold’s house, plotting mischief. He calls Norman, proposing to create a spectacle by setting Harold’s house ablaze, all the while hoping the blame wouldn’t fall on him.
Back at the club, Trackson updates Jules about Delinda’s son’s recent visit and his threats to sell off the establishment. Jules, in turn, relays this information to Norman, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the potential threat Delinda’s son poses to their interests.
That fateful night, Angel found himself at the hospital, hurrying to meet Horace Bellario. Horace's face lit up with relief upon seeing Angel alive and well. However, the atmosphere quickly turned tense as Horace, with a mix of guilt and desperation, confessed that it was he who had orchestrated the attempt on Angel's life. Angel's initial shock and anger were palpable, but Horace, his voice trembling, pleaded with Angel to stay by his side if he valued his own survival.
Meanwhile, at Olivia's lavish residence, she requested Varney to accompany her inside. Once the door closed behind them, Olivia's demeanor shifted dramatically. She threw herself at Varney, her hands fumbling with his buttons as she began to undress him. Just as things were about to escalate, Mallory burst into the room, her presence a sudden and unwelcome interruption that halted Olivia's advances.
Back at the club, Charles engaged in a clandestine transaction with Dustin, purchasing a stash of drugs under the dim, flickering lights. As the night wore on, Rain returned home to find Kimmie already packing her bags, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and determination. Rain urged Kimmie to think rationally, reminding her of Sylvi's obvious trauma and the fact that they were trapped within the Bellario estate's confines. Horace had instructed security to ensure that Kimmie and Rain remained inside, unable to leave on their own accord.
The pair, along with a hesitant Sylvi, hatched a plan to wait until nightfall, when the security guards would be changing shifts, providing them with a window of opportunity to escape. As darkness enveloped the estate, the three of them stealthily made their way outside, climbing into a car and attempting to flee as fast as they could. But Kimmie, her nerves frayed and her hands shaking, lost control of the vehicle, careening off the road before coming to a sudden, jarring halt.
Their hearts pounding in their chests, they realized they were not alone. A car, its headlights piercing through the darkness, had been waiting for them. As the door of the mysterious vehicle opened, Horace stepped out, his face a mask of calm determination. He approached Kimmie's car, his voice carrying a hint of menace as he asked, "Where do you think you're going?" The episode ended on that ominous note, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
