Moments after Beyonce's got another beating from Mama Ariana Miley, Beyonce checks out how Nidora is doing until she fainted. Later on, a doctor who looks like a faith healer told Mama Ariana Miley that Nidora's okay, except for one thing...he said that they're going to have a new member of the family.
