A wave of urban reform brings down the notorious Franklin Terrace public housing towers, forcing the Barksdale drug crew to find a new home on the streets of west Baltimore.

Four West Baltimore boys wrestle with what to do with the rest of their summer vacation as the new school year approaches.

Omar continues his bold strikes on Barksdale stash houses. As the wire on east Baltimore's Proposition Joe continues to yield little, a restless McNulty launches his own reinvestigation of D'Angelo Barksdale's prison suicide.

As McNulty and the detail continue to stake out Marlo's crew, newly elected Mayor Carcetti is finding he is stuck between keeping his promises on education and his promises on law and order.

When a witness who testified against D'Angelo Barksdale is discovered murdered, McNulty and the detail take the opportunity to link the killing to Avon Barksdale's drugs crew.

Pearlman and Freamon continue arguing over the subpoenas, as the election draws closer. Elsewhere, Carcetti drops a bomshell on Royce during their telivised debate, while Herc makes a shocking discovery about the mayor himself.
