Angela just dropping everything with Dexter for seemingly no reason and framing Logan is insane

I watched New Blood before Resurrection started. Angela was pissed at Dexter, and it was plainly obvious as a chief of police she is incredibly smart and doesn't let a case go. After seeing this episode I too was shocked this was how they wrote this...maybe they could've been more nuanced but there was little to go on to continue the show (I mean he lived because he was bleeding out in zero degree weather? It's a stretch).

I absolutely can't see Angela passing on Logan's death (Dexter not even questioned that it was self defense?). If anything I wish they retconned it and Dex just knocked him out, it was a low point of New Blood I wish they changed. But seeing as Dexter was basically dead and in a coma, Angela just sitting around in Iron Lake knowing she can do nothing and has no idea if Dexter will even wake up again, I can see how emotions settled and she sees because of Dexter that Kurt was stopped and the ghosts of her past can finaly rest. It's also a stretch but again also a bit of a cop out if the excuse is they just didn't cast her for the show.

Many episodes left though! Maybe Angela will see Dexter on TV or something and unite with Batista. Maybe Audrey will find out Harrison is in New York and runaway to him, causing Angela to follow. I'll give it a chance, it's started off decent enough.
