Episode Synopsis
Bubbles attempts suicide after confessing his part in Sherrod's death and is taken to rehab. Freamon begins to build his investigation and has Chris and Snoop brought in for DNA samples. Bodie reaches breaking point over Marlo's murder of his people and turns to McNulty. Bodie is later killed on his corner because he was seen leaving central booking with McNulty. McNulty decides to rejoin the Major Crimes Unit. Proposition Joe is forced to reveal his supplier to Marlo to reassure the Co-Op after Omar's robbery. Marlo meets with Spiros Vondas who vouches for Joe. Omar brazenly sells the stolen drugs back to the Co-Op. Carcetti rejects the Governor's offer of assistance with the schools as it would cost his career too much in the future. Despite Carver's efforts to prevent it, Randy is reluctantly returned to a group home. Colvin's special class is shut down by the education board. However, he persuades Namond's parents to let Namond live with him in order to keep him away from drug dealing. Michael commits his first murder and is given Bodie's corner to run; Dukie is unable to settle in high school and joins his crew.

March 28, 2023 Lance Reddick: A Tribute and Exclusive Interview
This special episode is in tribute to Lance Reddick, who passed away on March 17th 2023, at 60.
Dave, Kobi and Producer Tom talk about what Lance meant to them before releasing the full interview we recorded with him all those years ago. He talks about auditioning and joining The Wire and who he initially auditioned as Bunk and Bubble!
We are eternally grateful to Lance, who joined us before we had any episodes out and paved the way for other cast and crew members to join our show. We really wouldn't be the same show without him.
