Angel in "Beauty in Black" was targeted for murder in Season 2 after Horace unknowingly agreed to let Angel be killed. Angel was shot at a bus stop but survived by playing dead and fooling his attackers into thinking they had succeeded. He was not injured and managed to escape once his assailants left. To stay safe, Angel hid in Horace’s home, using Horace’s resources for protection and luxury. Despite surviving this attack, Angel's life continued to be in danger from his enemies. Later in the season, Angel was involved in disposing of a body but was ambushed and arrested by the police. Thus, Angel did not die but faced ongoing threats and legal troubles by the end of the season.
