*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Although Stuart Margolin is excellent as usual as Angel Martin, this episode can be hard to follow as it seems that none of the characters are telling the whole truth about what is going on.
Angel is pretending to be a hit man and he's working for someone, but it is difficult to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys in this script.
It's also another in a long line of episodes where Rockford tells Angel that he's through with him. Of course, he isn't. Angel was too interesting a character to get rid of that easily. Although I do wonder how Angel always managed to avoid being charged with parole violations.
