If Peter and Ruth were half-brother and sister, then they should have one parent in common. "His father" implies that Ruth's father was not Peter's father, and "my mother" implies that Ruth's mother was not Peter's mother. In other words, no common parent. Had Ruth said "his father and *our* mother", then it would have made sense.

Peter was Ruth's step-brother, not her half-brother. Ruth's mother and Peter's father got together after Ruth's father died.

Re Angela's motivation, it was to take revenge on the Royals for kicking Peter off Diana's protection detail because of his drinking, after which he killed himself. So her plan was to lure the Royals to that bunker and then blow them all up. In the end, she blamed the Royals for Peter's death and wanted revenge.

I do love this episode, even on multiple rewatches it holds up well.
