Storyline 1: Stringer Bell is a different type of gangster
We see Stringer Bell attending Community College Introduction to Macro Economics and then starts to show the guys in the copy shop what he has learnt straight away. He talks about de-escalating the violence after Stinkum dies, but is disregarded by Avon.
Storyline 2: Catching Clay Davis' Driver
Senator Clay Davis' Driver is caught in the drug zone taking $20k from Littleman but Deputy Comissioner Burrell sets him free. They are told to shut down the detail by the end of the week. McNulty and Greggs call to Judge Phelan and he tells Deputy Commissioner off and threatens him with “contempt” for not wanting to run the wire tap for a full 60 days…
Storyline 3: Omar Kills Stinkum
Weebay and Stinkum set out of kill a couple of rival drug dealers and think its going to be an easy take out. Omar has other ideas and ambushes them, killing Stinkum. The Bounty on Omars head goes up to $10k. Omar is brought in to chat to The Detail and scopes out Orlando's whilst there.
Storyline 4: The party gets out of hand
Wee Bay, Stinkum and LittleMan have a party - it gets out of hand and one of the ladies dies. It appears to seriously affect D'Angelo.
