THE COPS
Storyline 1: Prez is no Longer “A Hump”
The judge signs the affidavit and the cloned pager is up and running. Freamon points out that they’re not real numbers - it’s a code. Prez cracks the code.
Storyline 2: Herc and Carver Chase down Bodie
Herc and Carv chase down Bodie and bring him for processing. They try “Good Cop/Bad Cop” on him, but it goes hilariously wrong. As they wait for the juvenile intake, they end up shooting pool with him.
Storyline 3: Omar Comin’
Bubbles tells Kima and McNulty about Omar’s van, and they stake it out, hoping to catch him with a gun and turn him informant. They parlay at a graveyard. McNulty reveals that Bailey has been killed, and Omar reveals that a guy called Bird killed William Gant, and that he knows Bubbles is their CI.
THE STREET
Storyline 1: Paranoid Barksdale
The cold open shows us just how paranoid and careful Barksdale is. Stringer and Barksdale discuss that a corner is wide open and Stinkum should run it. He takes D’Angelo to see his brother in a nursing home, and stresses how unpredictable life can be.
Storyline 2: D’Angelo and the corner
D’Angelo gets a lecture from String about trying to find the snitch. Bodie throws a bottle at Wallace for not being on his guard. Later, Poot and Wallace spot Brandon in an arcade and phone it in.
