I definitely respect the way this show has documented Marlo's rise to where he is now. He is at the top of the pyramid having been just another player when we were introduced to him. However, he's making enemies everywhere he goes and it would likely be in the co-op's best interests to get rid of him. This episode was very much about homelessness, and it did not hold back on how they are exploited and treated by people and the system. McNulty using the man at the end was quite frankly just sad, and yet during his hesitations, I wanted him to go through with it. What he did is shockingly bad but if it means he gets to Marlo, it's a necessary evil. Templeton using the homeless for his news stories is also pretty low, and the entire newsroom is on the whole pretty scummy. The plot progressed quite a bit this episode, with Omar hot on Marlo's heels and Bunk making some headway into the vacant murders. I just wonder if there's gonna be a Marlo to catch by the time this is over
