Summary:
Avon is either very smart or very paranoid, maybe both. Omar and his partners steal from some dealers on the East side in a well planned but with a kind of bad ass whimsicality.
The judges sign the forms to clone D'Angleo's pager. Unfortunately the phone numbers are in a code. McNulty and Greggs are keeping tabs on Omar's van hoping to catch him with a gun so they can push him for more information on Avon. The lunkheads finally catch Bodie but are unable to get him to talk.
Stringer tells D'Angelo he may have a mole and to root him out by not paying anybody.
The bullet from the girl's homicide matches some others related to Avon. A friend of the girl gives McNulty and Greggs a ton of info about Avon including his strip club, Orlando's.
McNulty and Greggs talk to Omar. Omar is reluctant to cooperate until they tell him that his partner, Bailey has been killed. He then tells them that someone named Bird killed the witness in D'Angelo's case. He also lets them know that he knows Bubbles is working for them.
Prez shows that he is not completely incompetent by breaking the code used on the pagers. Still the warrant does not give them much more info than the numbers and the duration. Freamon tells Daniels that they need a wiretap on the payphones.
Bubbles visits Johnny in rehab. He is not enthusiastic about Bubbles going to the police, he has also contracted HIV and wants to get high again.
Avon and D'Angelo visit Avon's comatose brother in a nursing home. Avon talks about how you only have to mess up once to end up like that.
Poot and Wallace see Omar's boyfriend playing an arcade game and call D'Angelo who calls Stringer. Stringer goes to pick him up. All the while the various pager messages play out on a computer screen in an empty police office.
Random thoughts:
I was really surprised the killing of Bailey and the kidnapping of Brandon happened off-screen. The audience is almost as in the dark as some of the players.
I get a bad feeling from Johnny, that plus Omar's knowledge again makes me see bad times ahead for Bubbles.
D'Angelo continues to struggle with the street life. He seems to want to do something different by going to a nice restaurant, but his background haunts him. I am not sure how this squares with someone who has at least two murders under his belt, one in cold blood. He is very conflicted but also jealous of what he could have like the stripper and the job Stinkum gets bringing in new territory.
