Beauty in Black, directed and produced by Tyler Perry is filled with drama, suspense, and themes of wealth, power, and class. Starring Crystle Stewart as Mallory and Taylor Polidore Williams as Kimmie, the show dives deep into the lives of these two very different women.
Mallory is a successful entrepreneur, while Kimmie is barely scraping by, working at a club. As their paths cross, tensions rise, leading to some jaw-dropping revelations by the season finale.
The finale starts with a group of masked gunmen entering Horace's club to rob his safe hidden inside while holding Kimmie and Angel hostage. However, Horace manages to kill all the intruders before they can get away.
After pressing Kimmie and Angel with questions they reveal they planned the heist to make fast money and start new lives.
Kimmie and Angel’s desperate heist
Kimmie is struggling. Kicked out by her mom, she finds work in a shady club, trying to earn just enough to survive and escape her dire circumstances. Mallory, on the other hand, runs a booming hair care business but has her share of problems, like pesky family members and a lawyer threatening her company.
Despite their different worlds, Kimmie and Mallory’s lives collide in surprising ways. Kimmie and her friend Angel come up with a risky plan to rob Horace, the club owner, hoping to escape their lives and start afresh.
During the heist, a group of masked robbers arrive, but Horace, defending his club, kills them all. The aftermath is tense, and Kimmie’s involvement puts her in a dangerous position.
After the chaos, Horace suspects Kimmie might have been part of the robbery, but Angel takes the blame, easing Horace's anger. When Kimmie reveals the shady judge, Harold Wiscollins, who helped get them out of legal trouble, Horace decides to let them go, realizing that he has bigger issues to worry about than their failed heist.
The mysterious judge and his connection
Judge Harold Wiscollins has a hidden role in the plot. As an ally to Kimmie’s boss, Jules, he’s part of a larger web of corruption, and Horace starts wondering if Wiscollins might be involved in his troubles. The judge’s shadow looms over the story, adding an element of danger to Kimmie and Horace’s lives.
Mallory’s personal life is as complicated as her business. She’s involved with Calvin, her driver, but is hesitant to make it serious due to their class differences. Mallory’s inner conflict reflects the show’s deeper themes around class and elitism, showing how even successful people have insecurities.
Jules, who seems loyal to Horace, steps in to clean up the crime scene. But he finds clues suggesting the robbers had inside information, leaving viewers suspicious.
Threat to Kimmie
Kimmie faces a new threat when Body, a powerful figure at the club, accuses her of trying to take her spot and reveals she’s holding Kimmie’s teenage sister, Sylvia, as leverage. This act of blackmail pushes Kimmie to her breaking point, leading to a physical showdown between the two.
In a dramatic moment, Roy’s bright yellow car is blown up by masked gunmen on a quiet road. This scene hints at deeper tensions and possible grudges against Roy, but it’s unclear who orchestrated it. The explosion sets a dark tone for the series’ end.
Lena, a determined lawyer, finds herself caught between Mallory and her brother-in-law, Roy, both of whom try to buy her silence to protect their company secrets. But Lena is firm on her principles, refusing their money, showing that not everyone can be bought.
Her stance adds a powerful contrast to the greed displayed by other characters.
In a desperate move to protect her sister, Kimmie retaliates, running Body down with her car. This intense scene wraps up Season 1 on a major cliffhanger. Is Body dead? Will Kimmie’s actions put her and Sylvia in more danger? The ending leaves fans with plenty of questions.
