The Glory That Is The Wire

OMG, one episode left. How sad. And this was one of those excellent almost-wrapping-it-up shows.

RAID! Raid on the re-supply! The raid results in the arrest of just about every main bad guy (including Marlo) plus a $16 million drug bust. Marlo and his peoples suspect that Michael is the "source of information" in the charging documents (the source actually being a front for the illegal wiretap). Michael figured out Snoop is about to kill him, so he gets there first and blows her away. RIP Snoop. That girl always made me laugh.

Unfortunately, now Michael is on the run. He drops Bug off with their Aunt in the suburbs and drops Dukie off with homeless druggies. Great. Dukie is the New Bubbs. I was yelling at Dukie to call Prez. And in the preview, we do finally see Prez, but it doesn't look like things end well between them. Or at least not how I want to see them end - with Dukie and Prez living together happily ever after.

The Sun is entering Scott into Pulitzer competition and I want to freaking light the paper on fire. BOO! Gus was busy catching Scott in Lie Number 757 where he quoted someone as saying Daniels stabbed Burrell in the back. And also Lie Number 658 where he got the homeless vet's story wrong (Gus tracked down the vet's buddy at Walter Reed).

Lester got some info out of Clay Davis - follow the lawyers. He says Levy has someone at the courthouse. It would be nice if they could bring down this scumbag Levy.

In the end, Kima goes to see Daniels and tells him McNulty is making up the homeless serial killer. Daniels shares with Rhonda and they confirm that Marlo's cell phone is the one that McNulty claimed belonged to the serial killer. McNulty is so dead. Lester is so dead. Marlo's going to be victorious.

To end on two positive notes, YAY BUNNY AND NAMOND and YAY BUBBLES! How great to see Namond on a debate team with proud Bunny looking on. And Bubbs celebrated his sober anniversary and finally shared about Sherrod with the group. A nice reminder that a couple people have gotten out of this mess.

Goddamn this heartbreaking show!
