Very creative use of "envy" as the prompt. Delighted to see some in depth study of Cowley. He's such an interesting fellow, what with the vague suggestions of his exciting past life that the series gave us. It is very believable that a person with major health problems would be envious of another person's total recovery.
I particularly like how you implied guilty intent, when Cowley put Doyle in harm's way, but still left us enough logical alternate explanations of his actions that we could forgive the man if we were so inclined.
Personally, I was willing to believe Doyle really was the right man for the job, and that Cowley's self-incriminations were mostly attributable to feelings of guilt with respect to his envy.
