Bruh, I'm right there with you. I've had a few chicks hypnotized in the past -- even been caught up once myself -- that's why I haven't made too much of the issue 'til now. But the writers are taking this shit a little too far now. But here they're just letting her play the dummy.
In the middle of her presentation to the task force they're throwing Ghost's picture on the table with everyone elses, then laying out how Tommy has a lease with Stern, the same Stern who seems to be all Ghost talks about with her. She knows Ghost and Tommy are partners and she not once has even asked the question if he's deeper in this that just the club shit. She won't even let herself slip just a moment to connect the dots.
Not to mention she knows Jaime comes from the street and the type of shit he was into in the old neighborhood. It's one thing if she asks herself the question then turns a blind eye on some cognitive dissonance, but she appears to not even entertain the possibility that James is involved.
How they should have handled it is on some of that Godfather 1 type shit where Michael Corleone lets his wife ask him on question about the business... then lies to her face and she believes him, falling into his arms sobbing and shit.
I see what you're say plus where its coming from but I didn't see you point out some of what happen in the last ep.
Once Ghost swept the room for whatever info she had on their clique with Tommy pressing to merc her, he got on his own brand of bullshit to keep he on that cloud.
She may be bad @ her job, not well written or whatever but once she got up off that cloud (gassed by him talking about moving down to Mia with the babies) by finding out that he is still keeping it facts with Tasha, she slapped herself out of that funk that her sister was warning her on.
He gassed her earlier suspiciously & now she's gassing & lying to him now:
Look when he caught her with the coffee @ the train station - wan't no crying or dramatic shit but she was straight gaming because from that point on EVERY call she does get & every piece of pertinent, important business she's on definitely has to do with Tommy & Him; she told him that it wouldn't be like that.
In the last convo, her other co worker trying to be smart after the Match.com comment told her to tell her classmate that he better LawyerUp
because their silly, thirsty asses are coming & questioning whether she has something concrete or not;
She told him she'd try to keep them off of him as much as they could but how's she going to do that, flirt with somebody?
She's good @ gaming info to get what she needs but not necessarily getting mofos locked up as she's working on that past her own shit.
Also, I learned that it's not just about having them hypnotized, but actually what/how u do/say/influence them while they're under that said spell(when listening/ while invested in u) - Ghost was doing his thing until he let that Tasha beef slip & result in how they end also putting her in some more crossfire by Tasha as well as Tommy.
Angela has been reminded by her Pops who remembers him well & she finally asked about having any biz with Tommy in this ep.
They finally have her using her head by not jumping in the ride with them after the flight & by her keeping her distance from him putting mouth & hands on her clouding her shit.
She doesn't have time to rock all black, creep & stalk him to see if he's lying or not as she's just going with her gut & her gut woke up after she got what she really wanted all of that time, to wake up with her Jamey
