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.
