what happened to angel in beauty in black

Angel does not die in Beauty in Black – his story goes through two big “what happened to Angel?!” moments across Part 2 of Season 1 and Season 2 Part 1.

Quick Scoop: What Happened to Angel?

  • In Part 2 of Season 1, Angel gets arrested after trying to get rid of a dead body to protect Kimmie.
  • In Season 2 Part 1, Horace accidentally puts a hit out on Angel, and he’s shot at a bus stop – but he survives by playing dead.
  • He later hides out using Horace’s resources, staying under the radar while still being tangled in the Bellarie family drama.

So if you’re wondering “what happened to Angel in Beauty in Black?”: he’s beaten up by the plot, but very much still alive and in danger.

Angel in Part 2 (Season 1): The Arrest

After the mid‑season chaos, Angel’s fate in Part 2 centers on a body and a bad decision.

  • Sylvie discovers a dead man in the backseat of a car Kimmie stole; the man was linked to gangster Daniel Lakeland and died after missing his insulin.
  • To protect Kimmie from being blamed, Angel decides to dispose of the body himself.
  • While trying to get rid of the body, he is ambushed by police and arrested.

This is why many fans thought Angel might be “gone” or written out – he disappears from everyday life because he’s in serious legal trouble, and his ultimate fate is teased as important for the next wave of episodes.

Angel in Season 2: Bus Stop Shooting

Season 2 raises the stakes and makes his fate look even worse.

  • Horace Bellarie accidentally signs off on a hit that targets Angel, turning him into a walking target.
  • Angel is ambushed and shot at a bus stop in a brutal attack that looks like a straight‑up assassination.
  • For a while, the show lets viewers believe he might actually be dead.

But the twist:

  • Angel survives by pretending to be dead so the hitmen leave him alone.
  • Later, he’s shown alive, spending money and lying low, while still having enemies and family in danger.

So, in Season 2 Part 1, the answer to “does Angel die?” is no – he survives, but just barely.

Where Angel Ends Up (So Far)

By the end of the latest episodes covered in public recaps:

  • Angel is alive and hiding, using Horace’s place and resources as a kind of protection.
  • Jules and other enemies remain a threat, especially to Angel’s loved ones, so he’s not remotely safe.
  • Commentators expect his survival and choices to drive a big part of future storylines rather than closing his arc.

In short: Angel goes from arrest to attempted murder, but his story is still open and meant to keep fans anxious about what might happen next.

TL;DR

  • Angel gets arrested in Part 2 while trying to cover up a death to protect Kimmie.
  • In Season 2, he’s shot in a botched hit at a bus stop but survives by playing dead.
  • He’s alive, in hiding, and still deeply entangled in the Bellarie chaos – his final fate hasn’t been fully sealed yet.
