In the episodes leading to the finale, Gerald finally breaks free from Lucille’s control. Angela on the other hand discovers she is pregnant with their baby. Knowing that Lucille will never give them peace, Gerald plans to put an end to her evil schemes. He continues his act as Lucille’s boyfriend and in a surprising twist, drives their car over a cliff.


However, Lucille escapes the tragedy using her evil powers, leaving Gerald behind. Angela and Benedict arrives and tries to save Gerald. With the help of a rescue team, Benedict climbs down a helicopter to get Gerald out of danger. Lucille won’t let them have their happy ending. She uses witchcraft putting both men in harm. Much to Gerald’s surprise, Benedict sacrifices himself to save him, eventually dying in the process.




Seeking to avenge Benedict’s death, Angela uses a powerful and forbidden magic to finally face Lucille. Their magic explodes upon impact and Lucille disappears into thin air. Unknown to Angela, Lucille gets trapped in a doll. Several years later, Angela and Gerald get married and now have a young daughter.



As fate would have it, Angela’s daughter finds the doll where Lucille is trapped, a foreboding that her evil half-sister may come back again to get her revenge.


In an interview, lead star Sanya Lopez admits that she has grown so much as an actress through her experience in Angela. “I will definitely miss everyone, especially the cast and crew. I will never forget all our catfights with Thea (Lucille) and all the drama,” the actress said.
