WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Well, this is the episode that we've all been anxiously waiting for since the beginning of the season. The many instances of foreshadowing of Wallace's death pays off in a major tour de force way in a scene that is both agonizing and mesmerizing. Culminating in a brilliantly, written, acted, and directed scene that you can't keep your eyes off of, this is the episode that solidifies "The Wire's" place in the conversation about the greatest TV shows of all time. Aside from talking about this traumatic event that unfolds, Willy and Jacob also break down D'Angelo's transformation, the real-life inspiration for Levy's character, George Pelecanos' specialties, and much more. And don't forget, we've also added some new segments to the show to spice things up.
