Episode Synopsis

Four West Baltimore boys wrestle with what to do with the rest of their summer vacation. When a neighbouring group of children beats up unkempt outcast Duquan "Dukie" Weems, Michael Lee is the quiet leader of the group's retaliation. Randy Wagstaff has the imagination to plan the endeavour. Namond Brice is the most outspoken and the richest of the four. Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski prepares for his new career as a school teacher. The Major Crimes Unit continues with its wiretap investigation into the Stanfield Organization. They remain unaware that when Marlo Stanfield orders a death, the target is taken to a vacant building and killed by enforcers Chris Partlow and Snoop. Randy is unwittingly involved in one such murder. The mayoral election campaign between councilman Tommy Carcetti and incumbent mayor Clarence Royce begins to take shape.
