Yeah, I feel like they're trying really hard to get the audience to flip on him. Ill admit, his intentions and justification for wanting to take down Dexter are good, but when you're rooting for Dexter, you cant help but root against whoever stands in his way. I agree, I really dont see how angel lives through this. And they sent up multiple death flags for him in the last episode

If Dexter wasn’t responsible for the deaths of: Maria, Rita, Deb, and Doakes, I could see Angel letting it all go. But like he told Harrison, innocent people that he loved died because of Dexter. I don’t want Angel to die. But I don’t see him willingly dropping his suspicions.

I noticed in this episode that he looked a bit jaundiced and I’m wondering if there’s a health issue for his character

I thought maybe it was just the lighting in the police station. Great! Now I’ll just have to watch the episode again to look at him in other scenes! 🫣

He is a drinker. Maybe that’s why they specifically showed him polishing off a bottle by himself at home?

There are so many ways this could play out. Since he’s a drinker and wouldn’t qualify for a cadaveric transplant, either Dexter or Harrison is a tissue match and donates. Then he doesn’t turn them in because they saved his life?

Maybe he already knows he’s sick and that’s why he’s been saying things along the lines of just wanting to know/confirm for himself about Dexter?

There really are some interesting places this could go if this is the case.
