This Angels episode doesn't fly for this viewer

Warning: Spoilers
I've watched all of the episodes sequentially over the last few months, and this one felt like the series fell off a cliff, IMHO, like the writers didn't put in an "A" effort and in seeing the next episode, although somewhat better than this, was surprised that the series was renewed. In this episode, an attempt on the trio is not an unusual plot line, that didn't bother me. It was turning to another agency for help that just happened to have 3 young men with smiles worthy of dentists that started my souring on this episode. Then, as the wary Angels tried to ditch each of those assigned to them, how they did so was clumsy and predictable. Each of the men had a talent, but it was almost an afterthought, held back towards the end of the episode, that each would use theirs, and the execution was weak and unconvincing. A man catching up to a plane taking off with barely any runway left, then lassoing the tail and pulling it off to flip the plane was impossible to believe, the coup d'grace! Altogether, this was a poorly written and executed episode, reminding me of some of my home movies, and it seems that the series has run out of gas.
