For the second episode of the second season I was most interested in how the Barksdale gang handled everything they were going through. There was the common scheme of messing up but somehow getting out of trouble. It was evident in this episode when Stringer Bell dealt with the Dominicans’ lawyer. It was amazing how much effort he put into trying to keep them on board. With Avon in jail people lost their trust in the Barksdale gang but everyone is trying to keep them loyal. I was also interested in McNulty and how he was handling the cases that were dumped on to Rawls. It seems like McNulty like to pin point one case and give all his time and effort to that case.
