Who Dies in Beauty in Black Season 2?
Let’s cut straight to it: nobody from the main cast dies in Beauty in Black Season 2, Part 1. That might be a relief (or a bit of a letdown, if you’re one of those people who secretly root for chaos).
But before clicking away, hear me out. Tyler Perry isn’t exactly known for leaving his audiences yawning when the credits roll. There’s danger, bullets, blood, and plenty of drama, just not a full-on Game of Thrones body count. And honestly, the suspense over who’s safe and who’s next almost becomes another character in the show.
The Non-Deaths That Still Got Us Sweating
To answer the question above in plain language: nobody major bites the dust, but wow, do they come close. Angel literally shrugs off a hit job. Shot at a bus stop, he survives by playing dead, which, let’s be real, is the sort of move Perry characters would pass around as advice at company workshops if they could.
He’s last seen out shopping, casually dodging mortal danger, and grabbing a call from Rain. The show's knack for keeping supposedly doomed characters on the edge could drive a person to stress-eat popcorn with both hands.
And then there’s Glen. Poor guy, getting shoved out a window during a chaotic argument between Rain and Sylvie. This was the kind of scene that makes you hold your breath, not entirely sure whether to gasp or snort in disbelief.
Glen’s alive, but barely, after Rain intervenes, thinking Sylvie was being assaulted. He’s found together with Rain, both clinging to life, while Kimmie tries to squelch this mess before family secrets spiral out into the morning news.
Here’s a casual rundown of “almost” deaths:
-
Angel: Survives an assassination attempt, fakes his demise, then goes shopping.
-
Glen: Falls out a window after a misunderstanding, survives against the odds.
-
Daga & Shake Shake: Actually do get shot dead by Officer Alex, but let’s be honest, the real tension here is whether Kimmie and company will get away with it.
Mallory, Kimmie, Charles, and the rest of the Bellarie clan might dodge bullets (literal and metaphorical), but their emotional bruises are another story.
Bullet Points, Bodies, and Beauty in Black’s Morbid Humor
Okay, for folks who love lists, here’s everyone at fatal risk this season, with my own grades for how nail-biting their near-death experience was:
-
Angel: 9/10, played dead so well I believed him.
-
Glen: 8/10, window falls always rank high.
-
Daga & Shake Shake: Actual casualties, though mostly side characters.
-
Rain: 7/10, involved in half the season’s chaos, but still standing.
-
Charles: 6/10, ends up at gunpoint, but not on a slab (yet).
It’s a fast-paced game of roulette. Just when you think Tyler Perry might finally do in a fan favorite, plot armor clings tight.
Death? More Like Dramatic Survival
A lot of the suspense is not about who dies, but who gets away with almost dying. Angel’s fake-out felt like the show winking at viewers who expect bodies to stack up. “See?” it seems to say.
“We can shoot, stab, and kick out windows, but our emotional pain lasts longer than any bullet hole.” It reminds me of that time on a college trip when a buddy tried (and failed) to do parkour, survived with just a scraped elbow, and spent weeks milking the story for sympathy.
Mallory’s storyline, too, is brimming with threats, although the weapons she wields are more psychological than physical. At one point, as she’s being muscled out of the company meeting, I half-expected her to produce poison from her purse.
No dice, just dagger-eyed stares and ominous warnings, which, in a Perry show, sometimes sting even more than actual violence.
Kimmie’s Survival Instincts: The Real Power Play
Kimmie herself is walking through a minefield of corporate sabotage, family secrets, and literal gun-toting enemies, but she emerges, at least for now, as the true survivor. Becoming the new Mrs.
Bellarie has elevated her threat level, but she's transformed that risk into resilience. She doesn’t just survive, she thrives, snapping out comeback lines and sneaking past every danger like she was born in a soap opera boot camp.
Frankly, her ability to hold the company meeting hostage with sheer force of personality deserves a whole genre of its own. Tyler Perry choreographs boardroom scenes like action movies, and for my money, watching Kimmie flip entrenched hierarchy on its head is almost as satisfying as any murder mystery unraveling.
Family Feuds, Masked Men, and Unsolved Cliffhangers
You want intensity? The season closes with masked men invading Charles’ house and threatening him and Varney at gunpoint. If you ever considered binging Beauty in Black as a low-stress evening entertainment, you might want to sit with a stress ball and some chamomile tea.
These cliffhangers pack more dread per minute than most slasher flicks, minus the explicit gore and trip-wire horror.
Family feuds escalate, betrayals multiply, and gunshots ring out, but the show’s real casualties are trust, dignity, and maybe a little bit of sanity.
Why Perry’s “Near-Deaths” Hit Harder Than the Real Thing
Frankly, I think Perry knows what he’s doing. The fun of Beauty in Black isn’t just the prospect of another shocking twist; it’s how close everyone comes to the edge without going full tilt over it.
By faking out deaths, scoring near-misses, and giving us “is he really gone?” moments, Perry keeps viewers guessing. It’s a high-wire act that stays compelling long after the shock of actual casualties would wear off.
I once heard from a friend who edits reality TV: “People want drama, but they really want suspense. Don’t always kill the character, kill their reputation, kill their alliances, kill their sense of security.” Beauty in Black Season 2 takes that advice to heart.
