Plot summary

Epigraph: "The world is a smaller place now." - The Greek Bodie's crew gets in a shootout with rivals, accidentally killing a child. He throws their weapons over a bridge, but they land on a barge and are given to the BPD. Major Howard "Bunny" Colvin orders mass arrests, and Bodie goes free after seeing through the bluff that they have his fingerprints. McNulty infiltrates the brothel and the detail busts in to find him having sex with a pair of prostitutes. Petrovich is arrested. Terrance Fitzhugh looks into Glekas at McNulty's request, but finds that FBI agent Kristos Koutris, in league with the Greeks, has sealed his file.

Vondas plans to go back to importing drugs rather than distributing them. Ziggy's duck dies from alcohol poisoning and Glekas agrees to buy a stolen shipment of cars from him. Stringer takes Joe's deal, prompting Avon to hire New York hitman "Brother" Mouzone to protect his territory.
