Epigraph: "This is me, yo, right here." - Wallace Daniels convinces McNulty to get over his guilt about Greggs while Herc passes his sergeant's exam with a higher score than Carver. Daniels accuses Davis of corruption in a meeting between them and Burrell, who tries to threaten an unafraid Daniels with his FBI file. Lyles is killed to protect the Barksdales and Stringer orders Wallace's death due to the risk he poses, which Poot and Bodie reluctantly carry out. As the Barksdales stop using phones entirely, Shardene, now in a relationship with Freamon, maps out the dimensions of Orlando's, giving the detail the position they need to install a camera in the neighboring building. They hear Avon ordering D'Angelo to pick up their next package and fit his car with a tracker. He is arrested and McNulty reveals that Wallace is dead, which he does not believe until Stringer refuses to answer his questions. He rejects Levy's counsel while Avon is arrested.
