"Queen of Angels" is the 9th episode of the second season of ''Series/{{Bosch}}''.

In the immediate aftermath of the violent shootout that ended [[Recap/BoschS2E08 the previous episode]], Veronica Allen is in jail. Harry Bosch interrogates her, but she proclaims her innocence and, in the absence of Carl Nash, there is little evidence linking her to the murder of her husband. Harry then shows Veronica the security cam recording of Layla leaving the bank right after the murder--her name was on the box so she was able to go right in and get the $4 million.

Carl Nash is still on the loose, last seen near the Angeles National Forest, when he got rid of the woman he kidnapped. In fact, Nash is holed up in some remote wooden house in the woods. He unwraps the bandage he hastily slapped over his leg, and sees that his wound is getting infected. In need of help, Nash goes to an old acquaintance, one Catherine Cross, a "large animal veterinarian". Catherine cleans his wound and gives him antibiotics and pointedly does ''not'' ask what the hell is going on. Apparently she's an old acquaintance and an ex-girlfriend, since after she bandages up the bullet wound, they kiss.

Edgar interview Mo O'Grady, the only member of Nash's crew captured alive. She tells him that Riley was the triggerman for the murders of Allen and Arceneaux and probably George Irving. She gives up Carl Nash, but she doesn't know where he is.

While rifling through her husband's papers, Veronica finds a receipt for $1.1 million in bearer bonds. She goes to visit the shady bond trader who sold Tony Allen the bomds, but he doesn't have them.

Irvin Irving meets Mayor Ramos, who appoints him acting chief of police. Later, Irving meets his wife Connie. She congratulates him on the job he always wanted, and then tells him she's filing for divorce.

Bosch and Edgar head off to the Armenian church where Layla was going to get married. Veronica, who beat them there, confronts Father Tabakian. When he refuses to either give the $400K Layla gave him to Veronica, or tell Veronica where Layla is, Veronica flies into a rage. Bosch and Edgar arrive moments later to find Veronica spattered with blood and Father Tabakian lying dead on the floor. She's arrested for murder.

Up in the Angeles Forest, Carl Nash bids Catherine a melancholy goodbye.

Back at Hollywood station, Annette [=McKay=], the old lady who's been trying to contact Bosch for months, finally gets through to him. She says she knows who killed his mother.

!!Tropes:

* AnswerCut: Bosch, frustrated at the escape of Nash, says "The guy could be anywhere." Cut to the isolated cabin in the mountains where Nash is struggling with his bullet wound.
* AsYouKnow: As Catherine dresses Nash's wound she says "You are lucky it missed your femoral."[[note]]The femoral artery, which will cause you to bleed to death in a jiffy if it's severed.[[/note]] Nash provides the necessary exposition by saying "I'm lucky you're a large animal veterinarian."
* BloodSpatteredWeddingDress: It isn't a wedding dress, it's a woman's white blouse and skirt. But the effect is the same, as a shocked and blood-spattered Veronica walks out of Father Tabakian's office just as Bosch and Edgar show up.
* ClosestThingWeGot: With a nasty leg wound that's getting infected, Nash goes the only place he can--his old girlfriend the veterinarian.
* HeadbuttOfLove: Nash and Catherine do this as he leaves, both well aware that they probably won't see each other again.
* IdTellYouButThenIdHaveToKillYou: Nash makes another veiled reference to the trouble he's in and then says "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." Catherine isn't at all amused, saying "I ''hope'' that was a joke."
* LiteralMetaphor: After Bosch notes that when they caught Veronica she had blood on her hands, Edgar says "hence the expression, caught red-handed."
* ProudBeauty: Weiss makes a rather thinly veiled suggestion to Veronica that, in return for him protecting her from the wrath of the {{Mafiya}}, she'll be his lover. Veronica, who isn't at all surprised, says "If I were you I'd want me too."
* TitleDrop: Weiss reports that Layla was planning to get married at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs church, which is why Veronica goes there to confront Father Tabakian.
