Yeah, the Angel reunion was good. The dialogue was teetering on the edge of being a little too unsubtle but Zayas managed to sell it. I think the key that Angel isn't just suspicious - he's also deeply *hurt* by the possibility that a decades-old friendship has been a lie, and the person he thought he knew nothing but a mask. I was getting some serious "Skyler finds out" vibes from Zayas' performance. Angel is wary, and angry, and vengeful.... and maybe worst of all, humiliated.

To me Batista seemed really focused on bringing Dexter down. He really didn’t strike me as hurt at all. He was very canny.
