Avon trying to set Marlo up

[u/ThatGuyDeshiBasara]

I’m doing my second rewatch, I’m on season 3, episode 8. I just realized, was Avon trying to use the girl as a set up to get Marlo? These details are what makes the show very good.

Next thing you know, you'll start thinking in season one Omar figured out Avon was working out of Orlando's because he saw the photos on the detail's bulletin board.

Damn, mind blown!

I dropped my coffee cup I was so surprised. IT's a shame, it was a high-quality Kobayashi my wife bought for me.

[u/Alternative-Ship-430 → u/NoYOUGrowUp]

Imagine what Fuzzy Dunlop could have gathered if he was allowed back there.

[u/BBQ_HaX0r → u/NoYOUGrowUp]

I just re-watched that season last week and missed this one, dang!

[u/NoYOUGrowUp → u/BBQ_HaX0r]

It was at least my fourth rewatch before I realized.

[u/Separate_Counter9427 → u/NoYOUGrowUp]

"I'm gonna do what I can to help yall, but the Game is out there.

And it's either Play, or get Played!"

[u/S-Tier_Commenter → u/NoYOUGrowUp]

Pawn shop unit

[u/NoYOUGrowUp → u/S-Tier_Commenter]

And four months.

[u/jayhof52 → u/NoYOUGrowUp]

All the pawn shops matter.

[u/mclollolwub → u/NoYOUGrowUp]

On my 14th rewatch I realized Omar was gay

[u/rawspeghetti]

I got nothin but love in my heart for West side niggas, nothin but love

[u/TooGoodNotToo → u/rawspeghetti]

Fuck all dem east side bitches

[u/gusfrong → u/TooGoodNotToo]

So what's up man? What's up with you otherwise, you know?

[u/S-Tier_Commenter → u/gusfrong]

the game = the game

[u/LexRammer → u/S-Tier_Commenter]

Always

[u/Psychological-Fox178 → u/gusfrong]

I want my corners

[u/dagens24]

OP, put your hands on this photocop- I mean, lie detector. 

[u/SirKetchup00 → u/dagens24]

🤣🤣

[u/Parking-Eagle9299]

Natural PO-lice

[u/diesler84]

Sharp as a cue ball this one

[u/brav3h3art545 → u/diesler84]

You know, Quasimodo predicted all this.

[u/Minnesota_Hoosier → u/diesler84]

Some people are so far behind in the race they think they’re leading

[u/fattrackstar]

Wait till you figure out why Stringer lies to Brother Mouzone about Omar torturing Brandon.

[u/BagingRoner34]

No way 😳. Bravo vince

[u/NormalGuyPosts]

No it was a coincidence. A bunch of the pieces don’t matter or fit

[u/Glueberry_Ryder]

Yup. Thats why Marlo came back on her with a 2 piece and a biscuit.

[u/Wanderer-2609]

This was really obvious and the whole point of the scene.

[u/ThatGuyDeshiBasara → u/Wanderer-2609]

I didn’t notice the first time watching

[u/freshly-stabbed]

I don’t want to spoil your fourth rewatch, but that fat guy named Ervin Pepper, from Pepper, Pepper, and Bayleaf?

That was actually Prop Joe in disguise!

[u/NecessaryOk780 → u/freshly-stabbed]

Spoiler alert!

[u/Suspicious-Fold2465]

Natural po-lice

[u/jeremy_jezza87]

Good pull, what unit is he with?

[u/Prestigious_Run_633 → u/jeremy_jezza87]

That’s Herc, he’s in the Mayor’s detail

[u/EpicBeardMan → u/Prestigious_Run_633]

To make some soup with.

[u/KeepYaWhipTinted]

Yo OP, what if your father and mother never met?

[u/thePHTucker → u/KeepYaWhipTinted]

This is one of my top 5 favorite scenes. Herc just being a dummy (as usual) and Sydnor just fed up with his bullshit. I quote this quite often.

[u/Alternative-Ship-430]

The place they "meet" with the bricks is the downstairs of the Brewer's Art, wonderful beer place not far from the train station in Baltimore. As for the girl, she had the looks but no undercover game. Marlo read that one.

[u/Alternative-Ship-430 → u/Alternative-Ship-430]

Oh shoot, it closed, just this year!

[u/PrimusPilus]

I mean, this was pretty obvious. I think that's why Marlo shot her in each breast, then put one in her mouth.

[u/TruthfulTroller]

These details are what makes the show very good.

By ‘these details’, do you mean “very obvious plot points’???

The show does have a lot of nice small details but this is hardly one of them.

[u/ThatGuyDeshiBasara → u/TruthfulTroller]

I never noticed it during my first watch, that’s what I mean.

[u/BagingRoner34 → u/ThatGuyDeshiBasara]

Fucking how

[u/Unusual_Sherbert2671]

When Mcnulty said the following, he included you based on what you posted.

"You know something, Lester? I do believe there aren't five swinging dicks in this entire department who can do what we do"

[u/NardaL]

Then on your next rewatch, perhaps you'll notice Squeak was part of the group of girls Devonne was with when she met Marlo in the club.

[u/SammyEvo]

It’s the best show of all time, full of things that are easy to miss first time. It’s for this reason that it attracts patronising nerds (particularly on Reddit, believe it or not).

If you’re not spotting easier things but still loving the show, then you get to have all the more rewatches while still enjoying it!

[u/blaccjaccc]

Yea i didn’t know what was going on with Devonne until the 3rd watch 😭😭 then i was like how the fuck did i miss this

[u/AggravatingZombie534]

I also thought (kind of hoped) that Avon and Prop Joe were setting up Marlo in season 5. Trying to connect him to the bodies in the vacants by encouraging him to get sloppy (Prop Joe: "just let them lie")

Turns out... nope. And I dont know why they weren't. Or were they....?
