Episode Synopsis
Frustrated in his grass-roots reform efforts, Colvin arms himself with intelligence from the Major Case Unit and approaches the mid-level drug dealers instead. McNulty sees Stringer is now unreachable as a drug target because of his ties to a legitimate business. Stringer throws a welcome home party for Avon and launches a citywide co-op for drug dealers but fails to recruit West side rival, Marlo. Greggs follows Stanfield to his meeting with Stringer. Dissent spreads in Omar's crew over his bloody-minded pursuit of the Barksdale Organization.
