Summary: McNulty makes sure to pay back Rawls for reassigning him to the marine unit by sticking City Homicide with the stone cold whodunit floater he fishes out of the harbor. It's the stevedores versus the police when Sobotka beats out Valchek for the honor of providing a donor-themed stained glass window for the local church. Bodie and Bell take separate business trips. Ziggy makes a fool of himself as Nick negotiates a deal with the Greeks to steal a container from the docks. The Greeks end up reneging on the deal, leaving Russell to discover that the abandoned and broken-sealed container contains the bodies of thirteen women.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

BOOM: A boom mic is visible when Beadie enters the container for the first time.
GEOG: When Bodie and Shamrock are driving back home to Baltimore from Philadelphia it appears that they are driving on a highway in or near a city there's a mile marker sign that says "Havre de Grace 3 mi Baltimore 40 mi". This would place them around Perryville MD which is a more rural setting on 95.
FAKE: When Stringer is talking to Bodie and Shamrock about the detour they had to take in Camden. Idris Elba's English accent can be heard.
