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.
