What Happens to Angel in Beauty In Black?
Angel’s story in Beauty In Black is honestly a wild ride not exactly the “leave your hometown and glow up” kind of journey. Nope. His arc is part cautionary tale, part survival saga, and sometimes just plain unlucky. From the jump, Angel is portrayed as this streetwise guy a hustler, a friend, a little bit of a magnet for trouble. He’s not inherently bad, but circumstances keep dragging him back every time he’s about to catch a break. Trust me: if you’ve ever had that feeling where your life is starting to look up, only to get sucker-punched by fate? Angel would completely understand.
In Season 2, Angel gets himself tangled up in a mess that even makes regular viewers want to shout at the TV: “Don’t go to that bus stop, man!” But, well, sometimes people have to find out for themselves. The Bellarie clan’s drama is swirling, assassination attempts are flying, and Angel is smack in the middle wrong place, wrong time, wrong company. There’s something almost Shakespearean about how he’s caught between loyalty to his friends and just wanting to make it out of the club with his dignity and a future for his own kid. Most folks don’t dream of dragging bodies for friends or taking bullets for the cause, but Angel’s reality is closer to an extreme episode of “how not to adult.”
Does Angel Die In Beauty In Black Season 2?
Nope Angel survives, but just barely. For a good chunk of Season 2, the show wants you biting your nails, wondering if Angel’s luck has finally run out. There’s a botched hit job on him: Horace, in one of those spectacularly awful Tyler Perry twists, accidentally signs off on taking Angel out. Angel gets ambushed at a bus stop, and for a while, it looks like he's just another casualty of Bellarie family business.
But here’s the kicker (and the part where I got up to refill my popcorn): Angel fakes his own death. Yep, he pretends to be dead, lets his would-be killers think the job’s done, and uses the chaos as his best shot at disappearing. (Honestly, probably inspired by every action movie ever but let’s hand it to him, it works). He ends up in hiding, staying with Horace classic, since Horace was behind the whole mess in the first place! If I had a rupee for every TV character hiding in plain sight in a villain’s house, I’d have…well, at least enough for a Netflix subscription.
I remember when I watched that scene with my sister she shouted, “Of course he’s not dead! Angel’s got nine lives!” And really, it does feel like he’s the show’s cat: always landing on his feet, even as the ground keeps shifting. For now, Angel’s alive, definitely a little banged up, probably looking over his shoulder every five minutes, but still part of the ongoing chaos.
The Real Angel: Caught in the Middle
Here’s the thing about Angel he’s not just some background tough guy. He’s a representation of people who never quite get the fair break, who have dreams bigger than their resources, and who end up in messes that aren’t entirely of their own making. He’s fiercely loyal to Kimmie and Rain, and his willingness to risk everything for their safety speaks volumes. Whether it’s covering up for friends, dancing for tips, or dodging bullets, Angel rolls with it sometimes with more swagger than sense.
There’s a moment that sticks with me: Angel, after getting out of another scrape, just pauses, like he’s taking in the absurdity of his own life. It felt real like that time my buddy maxed out his credit card because he forgot when his rent was due and had to juggle, borrow, and fast-talk his way out of eviction. Survival, in its weirdest, most relatable form.
What’s Next for Angel?
With Angel still breathing by the end of Season 2, the future’s wide open and still perilous. He’s got enemies, secrets, and, let’s face it, a face that too many people recognize. The show loves to play with our nerves, so don’t expect Angel to settle into a peaceful desk job anytime soon. Chances are good he’ll get dragged back into the Bellarie vortex but after everything, I’m rooting for the guy. If anyone deserves a happy ending, it’s somebody who’s faked his death, evaded killers, and still managed to look out for his friends.
And hey if all else fails, maybe Angel can teach a master class in “How To Survive When Your Life Is A Tyler Perry Plot.” I’d sign up.
