This is one of my favourite episodes from the second half of Season Three.
It always seems to me to be under-rated, which makes it nice to see someone
who appreciates it as it deserves. I agree that the ending is particularly
powerful; and it owes a great deal of the effect to the editing. You point
out Nick's trip in the Caddy, which is fatefully delayed by that red light
(and we *know* what is going to happen!)--but the final scene is another
clever bit of writing/editing.
Usually, there's a tag after the solution of the murder: between Nick and
his partner, maybe; or at the loft with Natalie. In "Avenging Angel",
though, it is only at the very end that we learn for certain that what we've
slowly been suspecting is, in fact, true: the apparent victim/witness is
actually the killer; and her abusive father has been wrongly accused. And
the final scene, like the one in the car, does not involve expository
dialogue. Instead, we see the actual crime--rather than the false version
we've been shown up to this point--concluding with the revelation of the
hiding place of the weapon. In fact, that's the final shot.
As you say, very Hitchcock.

I've been watching the Olympics while I've been home on my
winter-hibernation-vacation, and had to laugh when they were talking about one
of the Canadian speed skaters. I think Henderson was his name. Anyway, his
coach was Marcel LaCroix, and it made me wonder how badly Henderson would have
to skate before he became lunch.
Most people have minds like concrete: mixed up or permanently set.

And the head of the Canadian mission for VanOC is called Nathalie Lambert. It
was in the Globe and Mail a couple of days back.

Yes, she was a famous speed skater when FK was still on the air. I used to
picture our Natalie working off her frustrations with Nick on the ice. :)

Or how very well he'd do with the wrath of LC awaiting him otherwise. :)
