Summary:
McNulty is despondent that he finally had the info to arrest Stringer but that Stringer was killed before he knew that McNulty had beat him.
The Barksdale crew all think Marlo is behind Stringer's murder. Avon corrects Slim Charles, but Slim Charles advises him to go with the lie since they are already committed to the war.
The media catches on to Hamsterdam and Royce quickly pulls the plug, having everyone arrested and then the buildings demolished. Johnny is found dead in one of the buildings.
Stringer's last tip to Colvin, Avon's safe house address, leads to Avon's arrest along with many of his crew on gun charges.
Colvin is demoted and discharged while Burrell threatens the mayor with shifting the blame in order to secure 5 more years as commissioner.
Marlo opens the corners back up and many of Cutty's boxers go back to work.
McNulty is back on a street beat after approaching Beadie about a relationship.
Daniels is promoted to Major and tells Pearlman that his wife does not need him to pretend anymore since she is on the mayor's ticket.
Random thoughts:
BNBG = Big Negro, Big Gun
Rawls has a flair for the dramatic as he plays Ride of the Valkeries during the Hamsterdam arrests.
No real surprise in Johnny's death, that one has been coming for awhile. But it emphasizes Bubble's mixed feelings about Hamsterdam that he expresses to Colvin at the end.
Sad to see the super assassin team of Omar and Brother Mouzone go their separate ways, but it was nice to see them acknowledge each other in that way. Bunk knows who uses a shotgun, but McNulty is not as convinced.
The episode overall felt almost like a series finale rather than just a season finale. Everything is back to normal, some characters have changed places. Some are in better or worse parts of their character arcs, but you can see them all going into the future. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here.
