Storyline 1: Lester Freamon Becomes Even More Badass


Kima and McNulty try to flip some witnesses from the busts, but nobody is interested. The judge presses the deputy commissioner for results, and the wire tap/pager idea gets the go-ahead. Back in the office, Greggs explains that they have a case for “exhaustion” which would give them enough to clone a pager. Freamon drops another badass bomb by revealing he already has D’Angelo’s pager number. 


Storyline 2: Deirdre Kresson Case


McNulty and Bunk get landed with a cold case that Jay insists might be linked to D’Angelo - they do him a favour and take a look into it. The “fuck” scene happens. It ties in directly with the story D’Angelo tells Bodie and Wallace.



Storyline 3: The Hit Goes out on Omar


Omar and his crew are celebrating their victory on the streets. We realise that Brandon is Omar’s lover. Brandon apologises for using Omar’s name. Omar gives a free fix to a mother - like Robin Hood of the Projects.


Meanwhile, Barksdale, Stinkum, Weebay and String are shooting hoops and casually decide to put a hit on Omar. They mock him for being gay. String says he’s worried there’s a leak in D’Angelo’s crew.
