AIRED: 11/28/04

"Call it a crisis of leadership." - Proposition Joe

Brother Mouzone returns to Baltimore on a mission of revenge and casts a wide net in his search for Omar, who has his own plan for vengeance. Colvin manages, for now, to put off a Sun reporter inquiring about Amsterdam, while Burrell delivers news to City Hall, and the reaction is surprisingly mixed. Carver learns how much he doesn't know about good policing, while Pearlman and Daniels plead their case for a new kind of wiretap to Judge Daniel Phelan. Carcetti is about to launch his campaign, but struggles with its effect on his friendship with Council colleague Tony Gray. Stringer falls out of the loop with Avon and is given an ultimatum by Prop Joe and New Day Co-op crews. Cutty's initial approach to teaching boxing ends up alienating the corner boys, while Marlo raises the stakes against the Barksdale gang. Bubbles provides entree to Freamon in an undercover cell-phone hustle.moreless

FAN RECAP

Fan Episode Reviews (1)

I admit it- I've lost a certain degree of objectivity about this show. This episode may seem to others like nothing happened, but I am now really into the pace The Wire has established, and I'm invested in the characters- so it's all good to me.moreless

The season finale is almost upon me, and I am amazed that S3 has flown by so fast; that's how good this show is. The plots have been well written and well played this season. I like the character of Bunny Colvin and the actor playing him. While his lines would have sounded preachy in lesser hands, Robert Wisdom's readings are perfect. Ditto the character of Cutty. He is someone you just want to root for. Their characters were sharply drawn and carefully developed, but at the same time, the show didn't sacrifice other characters' screen time- The Wire excels at this.moreless
