(Spoiler alert: Please do not read on if you haven’t watched Sunday’s episode of “Power”)
We’re going to preface this by saying that we don’t really like Angela Valdes (Lela Loren) very much — that’s actually a pretty nice way of expressing how we genuinely feel about her (Hint: she’s annoying af).
Now that we’ve gotten our biases out of the way, Sunday night’s episode of “Power” on STARZ won Angela some cool points because she finallydid something right for once.
Last week’s episode showed the AUSA (Assistant United States Attorney) agent viewing security footage from Truth nightclub that, basically, showed that James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) didn’t go anywhere near where the murder weapon was found, indicating that the gun had to have been placed there by someone else — meaning, he was framed.
On tonight’s episode, Valdes decided to approach her colleague Mike Sandoval (David Fumero) and tell him about the tape, which he ended up dismissing, saying that they shouldn’t bring it up to the defense because it would weaken their case.
Now, old annoying Angela would’ve probably left it alone and went about her business because she annoyingly believed that Ghost was guilty of murdering Greg Knox (Andy Bean) because, as we said, she’s annoying.
But new Angela decided to put her own job and reputation on the line and approached St. Patrick’s defense attorney on her own and offered to testify about the exculpatory evidence she found.
So homegirl ended up taking the stand and revealing everything — from the security tapes she found to her sexual relationship with Ghost.
Because of how messy the prosecution and Angela was, the judge decided to dismiss the case against St. Patrick and he got to go free.
We could all tell Valdes was still salty about everything because even when Ghost tried to thank her for what she did — even though he shouldn’t have, because she’s the reason he was in this mess to begin with, but whatever — she was being annoying.
But it’s all good, because now Ghost is free and Angela is probably fired or something, but that’s OK because no one really cares about her anyway.
'Power': 7 Main Characters Ranked by How Shady They Are (Photos)
OK, so we get that "Power" is basically based on a shady premise, but there are levels to this.
In anticipation of Season 4, how about a reminder of which remaining (alive) characters are the shadiest of them all?
1. Kanan (50 Cent)
Do. Not. Trust. This. Man.
We don't really need to explain this, but if a man is capable of killing his own son for not carrying out his vengeful wrath, then there's very little we can put past Kanan.
2. Angela Valdes (Lela Loren)
OK, so home girl was in a relationship with James (knowing he was married) and once she found out he was Ghost she tried to play double agent and bring him down?
Yeah, definitely shady.
3. James "Ghost" St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick)
Ghost will always be bae, but even our love for him can't blind us from how shady he can be.
I mean, it's not like he cheated on his wife, killed people working for him, manipulated Angela, Holly and practically everybody else.
He's in it for himself and himself only and doesn't really seem too concerned with what happens to anyone else -- except Tasha or Angela (depending on which one he loves at the time).
4. Josh Kantos (Adam Huss)
No, no, no, no.
There isn't one good quality about Kantos. He's a snake at heart.
5. Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora)
Tommy is a ride or die friend, but that doesn't mean he isn't a little bit (a lot bit) shady.
He fell out with Ghost (his apparent bff for life) because he wanted to keep the drug business going while the latter wanted to shut it down.
Oh and there's also that time he killed his girlfriend Holly.
6. Tasha St. Patrick (Naturi Naughton)
Even though Tasha has her sketchy moments (having an affair with Shawn), she can hold her own.
Tasha could've easily taken down Ghost's entire empire once she found out about Angela and all the other sketchy things he's been doing, but instead she understood that there was a bigger picture and ended up doing what was best for her and her family.
Go Tasha!
7. Lakeisha (La La Anthony)
Keisha was nothing but a good friend and even after she found out that Tasha was lying to her, she still tried to make the situation right.
It's too bad she's probably dead. Maybe. We don't know yet.

OK, so everyone is at least a little bit sketchy
