Angela was a recovering addict and former girlfriend of Pope’s twin sister, Julia. She was introduced in season 4 and became a manipulative presence in the Cody family. By the end of the season, her fate was left uncertain after being sent away by Pope.
Angela, portrayed by Emily Deschanel, entered the series as a controversial character due to her past connections with the Cody family. Her history of drug abuse and her close relationship with Julia, who had died from an overdose, made her arrival complicated, especially for Pope, who had a complex relationship with his late sister. Angela attempted to integrate herself into the family by getting close to J, offering information about Smurf’s operations, and trying to fill the void left by Julia.
However, her intentions were often questioned by the family, especially Pope, who struggled with his feelings towards her. Angela’s manipulative behavior became more apparent as she tried to leverage her knowledge and connections for her benefit. Despite her efforts to stay clean, her past with drugs and her tendency to manipulate those around her for her own gain created tension within the Cody household.
In the season 4 finale, Pope confronted Angela about her manipulative actions and her attempt to use the family. Realizing that she was a toxic influence and could not be trusted, Pope made the difficult decision to send her away for the sake of the family’s well-being. Her departure was abrupt, and the show did not provide a clear resolution to her storyline, leaving her ultimate fate open to interpretation by the audience.
