** [[spoiler: Green finds Fowler at a bar, reveals he knows what he's up to, gets violent on him and therefore establishes himself as a threat...and then turns his back to him and walks out, as if expecting Fowler won't follow and retaliate. Sure enough, Green ends up getting shot]].
** [[spoiler: Fowler himself isn't very good at keeping his head during his EngineeredPublicConfession. Once he realised Angel had him on a wire, he would surely know that such a thing is hardly an admission of guilt and given Angel broke into his house and assaulted him could easily have covered up by saying he was threatened into confessing]].
