WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD McNulty turns to drunken debauchery and promiscuity in a painful reaction at his failed attempts of rekindling romance with his wife, Elena. The detail makes the case to Pearlman for a wiretap citing the evidence of Nick's drug dealing. Seeing how McNulty is rapidly approaching rock bottom, Freamon and Bunk desperately plead with Daniels to get McNulty involved in the case, knowing that he isn't functional without good police work to keep him busy. Ziggy is pissed that Nick is cutting him out of the drug business, pissed at his father's continuous shunning, and pissed that his coworkers are goading him into picking fights with Maui that he's so clearly not cut out for. So naturally, he decides to double down on his status with the IBS as a clown and purchases a duck who becomes his drinking buddy. Frank's flagged phone bill makes him very suspicious and brings him to the realization that he's now a full-fledged criminal. Bodie is forced to take measures into his own hands when business becomes slow. Thank you for listening everybody. Be sure to give us nice reviews and five-star ratings on itunes.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD Nick, who once promised Ziggy he wouldn't succumb to selling drugs, starts selling drugs. Prez and Kima continue to look forward to being temporarily able to mix work and hedonistic pleasure. Herc and Carver learn the hard way that tennis and law enforcement don't mix.  The detail has DNRs for Sobotka and Horseface, but are shocked to find out that human trafficking does not allow for a wire tap permit but drug-dealing does.  With his inability to read the room, Proposition Joe makes an offer to Stringer during D'angelo's funeral service, who then relays it to Avon who refuses in a showing of a mixture of anger, pride, and grief.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD Beadie Russell, once considered an outsider and an amateur, really starts to throw her weight around and helps the detail figure out that Sobotka's unexplained earnings are more likely from smuggled containers than from drugs. Bunk and Freamon struggle to convince Lieutenant Daniels that the murder investigation and the Sobotka racket are intertwined. Prez, Kima, and Sheryl take an awkward trip to a strip club off of a tip from Shardene in an effort to start looking into local Russian strippers and prostitutes. Meanwhile, Nick gets assistance from Sergei and Proposition Joe to help shut Ziggy up and settle any financial problems. Omar gives earth-shattering testimony on Bird's case in a bid for revenge for Brandon. And last but not least, D'Angelo breaks all of our hearts when he makes the naive decision to try and live a straight-laced existence.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! We have officially ended #Docktober and we are now going into #NoCrossingThePicketLineNovember. Come celebrate with us by listening to our recap of this incredible episode, which features the grand entrance of M-E-T-H-O-D MAN as Cheese (Proposition Joe's nephew)! And he shows up to shake Ziggy down for his incompetence (duh!) with handling the package that he bought off of him, setting off tension with the eastside and Prop Joe.  An apologetic Carver joins the detail and gets reunited with his BFF Herc. Herc, Carver and Greggs suspect foul play with drugs, concerning the Sobotkas, but Freamon who's already been busy with the murder investigations thinks there's more at play.  Sobotka tries to back out of his ongoing arrangement with the Greek, but Nick has different ideas. Meanwhile, Stringer tells Avon that the drugs they're getting from Atlanta are very disappointing, while he continues to have anxiety about D'Angelo's attitude about his jail sentence, which could lead to possibly deadly consequences.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Kima starts "dancing" again, causing her relationship with Sheryl to suffer. Frank chews out Nick for stealing and then flipping the cameras. In a bit of hardball with Burrell, Daniels agrees to lead the Sobotka detail, which also signifies the beginning of the end of his marriage with Marla. McNulty, who is unable to escape Rawls' unforgiving grip and is forced to stay in the marine unit, continues to go rogue and pursue the clues of the murder investigation of the dead women in the can. Stringer hems and haws about the quality of the package from Atlanta. Avon cooks up a scheme to frame Tilghman for the hotshots that he wants to include D'Angelo in, but D'Angelo's newfound conscience gets the better of him and he refuses to take part. Stringer Bell laments the quality of the package that the organization is importing from Atlanta.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD Bunk and Lester keep running into dead ends and language barriers aboard the Atlantic Light in Philadelphia on the case with the dead women in the can. Jimmy can't help but go rogue with his own unofficial investigation into the sex trafficking victims but Bunk, Lester, and Beadie all wildly outpace him.  The Sobotka detail goes nowhere,  which prompts Valchek to lash out at Burell. Avon Barksdale gets his revenge on Tilghman. Nick and Ziggy Sobotka boost a bunch of digital cameras to get back into business with the Greek.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Valchek lashes out at Sobotka for beating him to the punch with the church window, and an epic pissing contest gets off to a roaring start. Avon Barksdale operates his organization from jail while doing his version of "looking out" for his nephew. Port Cop Beatrice Russell finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation as a result of McNulty lending an unfriendly hand to the investigation.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! The dismantled detail leaves The Wire's viewers confused and scattered in the second season premiere. With a brand spanking, new intro montage and a different version of the opening song, David Simon and Ed Burns expand their world-building outside of Franklin Terrace and into the docks of Baltimore where stagnating wages and advances in technology are erasing the middle-class workforce. Being pushed up against a wall, financially, Frank Sobotka from the Stevedore's Union resorts to crime. With a whole new cast of characters, Season 2 continues building on its complicated web of characters all with the aim of giving its viewers into all the different facets of an American city.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! We wrap up talking about the incredible first season by reading bizarre online reviews of The Reptile House in Druid Hill, where Wee-Bey killed Little Man. We also discuss how depressing of an episode this is since almost nothing goes right for the detail's investigation which should have resulted in a career case, the shoddy nature of Bubs' hard-fought battle for sobriety, D'Angelo's difficult decision to flip on his uncle, and all of his friends (haha, just kidding because Mom's gonna have the last word on that one), and Kima's masochistic tendencies of making her life as a police officer consistently difficult for her, amongst many other things.

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.
