Carcetti continues to curry favor in Mayor Royce’s inner circle with a scheme for jump-starting a police academy class for Burrell. Omar and crew get more than they bargained for during a stick-up of a Barksdale stash house; Colvin has a new crime-reduction plan, one that he is not telling to the bosses. Already awash in police work, Bunk is dispatched on a mission impossible. McNulty probes deeper into D’Angelo Barksdale’s death. Cutty struggles to stay on the straight while a group of colleagues gather to pay tribute and provide a proper send off to a friend at an old-time Irish wake.
