Episode Synopsis

As the homicide unit's newest detective Greggs is assigned to the high-profile witness case in an attempt to stall the investigation until after the election. Freamon joins Bunk on finding his missing suspect and realizes the connection to the lack of violence from the Stanfield Organization. Freamon suggests the suspect has been killed and his body hidden. Marlo loses big in a poker game and decides to take over Bodie's corner. Chris and Snoop assess Michael as a potential recruit. Proposition Joe manipulates Omar into robbing Marlo's next card game. Watkins becomes more angry with Royce when he sees he has reneged on a promise to back his protege Marla Daniels for a council seat. Randy is caught skipping school and becomes a reluctant informant for the teachers.

Episode Synopsis

Royce strikes back against Carcetti with his mayoral powers; however, he alienates State Delegate Watkins over his refusal to fund witness protection. Carcetti impresses Watkins by his reserved behaviour at the funeral of the murdered witness. Bunk visits Jimmy McNulty and Beadie Russell for dinner and finds McNulty sober and enjoying domestic life. Marlo Stanfield visits Bodie's corner and muscles him into selling the Stanfield package. Marlo is impressed with Michael a second time when he sees him working for Bodie. Proposition Joe and his New Day Co-Op face problems on two fronts; New York drug dealers on the East side and the Stanfield Organization in the West; they agree to attempt to negotiate with Marlo. Omar Little robs a Stanfield stash house. Rawls sends a caustic new lieutenant to gut the major case unit from the inside. Freamon and Kima Greggs leave for the homicide unit. Howard "Bunny" Colvin embarks on a new career as a researcher into violent behaviour. Prez is shocked by a violent incident in his classroom.

Episode Synopsis

Thomas "Herc" Hauk is now working for the Mayor's security detail. He catches Royce in a compromising position and learns how to spin it into a promotion opportunity. Namond visits his father, Wee-Bey Brice, in prison. Wee-Bey urges Namond to work harder at his job with drug dealer Bodie Broadus, but Namond swaps it with Michael as he is in greater financial need. Bunk Moreland investigates a murder but finds his prime suspect missing. Rhonda Pearlman and Lester Freamon argue over-delivering subpoenas to political figures. Another murder involving a state's witness gives Carcetti damaging ammunition in a debate with Royce. Marlo gives money away to the neighbourhood children, and Michael catches his attention when he refuses the handout. Dennis "Cutty" Wise continues to run the community boxing gym and notices Michael because of his aptitude for the sport. Bubbles mentors young and homeless Sherrod in his junk-selling business.

Four West Baltimore boys wrestle with what to do with the rest of their summer vacation. When a neighbouring group of children beats up unkempt outcast Duquan "Dukie" Weems, Michael Lee is the quiet leader of the group's retaliation.

"The Wire" turns 20 years old and we thought who better to speak to than Snot Boogie!! He kicked off the whole show!

DaJuan Prince (@HomeOfTheWire on Twitter) was a fantastic guest. We love that he carried on being part of the show much longer than that one iconic scene!

All together:

"Got to. This America, man."
