At the end of Beauty in Black (Season 1, Part 2), the story wraps up with Kimmie making a shocking, high‑stakes decision that sets up the entire Bellaire family saga that continues into Season 2.

How Season 1, Part 2 ends

  • After a trail of kidnappings, blackmail, and murder linked to the hair‑school and strip‑club world, Kimmie kills Delinda, the owner of Delinda’s Dolls and Dudes strip club, by shooting her in the head with a shotgun.
  • With blood on her hands and no way back, Kimmie is then approached by Horace Bellaire, who is dying in a hospital bed and proposes marriage to her. His real motive is to block his greedy children from inheriting his fortune.

Kimmie’s big choice

  • Kimmie accepts Horace’s proposal, realizing she could inherit up to $376 million and gain the status, power, and protection of the Bellaire name.
  • For her, it’s not just about money: she becomes obsessed with becoming an official Bellaire, using the family’s influence to protect her sister Sylvie and elevate people like her friend Rain.

What that ending sets up

  • The finale of Season 1, Part 2 is essentially a setup for the next season: by marrying Horace, Kimmie formally steps into the Bellaire family’s corrupt empire, which is why Season 2 focuses on alliances, betrayals, and the eventual collapse of that empire.
  • In later seasons, that “endgame” plays out as Kimmie helps expose Horace’s children’s crimes at a shareholder meeting, leading to arrests and the family’s downfall—so the very last line of Season 1 is the spark that ignites the whole Bellaire power struggle.

In short: the end of Beauty in Black Season 1 sees Kimmie accept a marriage proposal from dying Horace Bellaire, agreeing to join the family and setting off the chain of events that blows up the Bellaire empire in later seasons.
