Is Jules’s Son Dead? Beauty in Black Season 2 Reveals Glen’s Fate
Glen and Sylvie shared a special connection before a dangerous fall sent him to the hospital.Exotic dancer-turned-businesswoman Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) ends Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black Season 2 with the Bellarie family against a wall. She’s newly installed as chief operating officer of the Beauty in Black hair-care empire and married to patriarch Horace (Ricco Ross). The happy couple — along with Horace’s daughter-in-law, Mallory (Crystle Stewart) — have served up the rest of the family to the feds on a silver platter.

A woman in a bright pink coat stands facing a man in a leather jacket in a modern office with large windows and city views, while another woman in a dark outfit looks on.

Needless to say, Kimmie has enemies — and most of them are now her own family. But another member of the Bellarie crew also has Kimmie in his sights: Jules (Charles Malik Whitfield), the head of security who carries out the less-than-legal wishes of his employers. His son, Glen (Ace Small), is found with major injuries after a fall from the loft of the Bellaries’ barn, where he’d been working to take care of the family’s horses.

Unfortunately, Glen dies after succumbing to his injuries. And Jules thinks Kimmie had something to do with his son’s death, despite not having any proof.

Viewers know that Kimmie wasn’t involved with the situation surrounding Glen’s death — she wasn’t even home at the time. But Kimmie is involved in the cover-up, because the fall actually occurred when her BFF, Rain (Amber Reign Smith), walked in on Kimmie’s little sister, Sylvie (Bailey Tippen), having sex with Glen and mistakenly believed Sylvie was being assaulted. Rain’s protective instincts kicked in, and she shoved Glen off of Sylvie. He then lost his footing and plummeted out the window. After Glen is declared brain-dead at the hospital, Jules pulls the plug and his son officially dies.

When Jules heads to his ex’s place to inform him of their son’s death, she opens the door too high to have much of a reaction. “Shit, it happens,” she says, and asks whether it was a seizure that killed Glen. Jules didn’t even know his son had seizures. Later, he heads back to the drug dealer–filled house and shoots the place up.

Meanwhile, Sylvie sneaks out of Horace’s house using the old “pillow under the covers” trick to visit Glen in the hospital, and Jules corners the teenager to question her about what really happened. Thankfully, she knows not to give anything away — and because the barn isn’t covered by the house’s security cameras, Jules doesn’t actually know anything about the circumstances surrounding his son’s death.

But he does know that the common denominator for all of his current problems is Kimmie, and is convinced she’s somehow involved in Glen’s death, too. He’s not going to stop until he finds out what happened — and that’s bad news for Kimmie.

“Grief can be relentless. When someone is carrying that kind of pain, they don’t stop asking questions,” Williams tells Tudum of Jules’s new obsession. “The real question becomes how far he’s willing to go to get the truth.”

We’ll have to wait until Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black Season 3 debuts to find out.
