Herc apologizes to Bubbles for [[Recap/TheWireS04E09KnowYourPlace not being there when Bubbles was getting beaten up by the Fiend again]], and promises to do right by him next time, even giving him a cellphone. Unfortunately, Herc also decides to finally confess to Marrinow - sort of - about [[Recap/TheWireS04E07UntoOthers losing the camera]], but Bubbles calls while he's doing it, and so naturally, Bubbles gets beat up again. To get revenge, Bubbles calls Herc while near a minister's car, and claims to Herc he's tracking Marlo; naturally, Herc is gung-ho about making an arrest, only to be made a fool of once again. Speaking of Herc, [[Recap/TheWireS04E09KnowYourPlace Little Kevin returns from being interrogated by Herc]], and Bodie tells Little Kevin he should tell Marlo about being pulled in by the police, just to be on the safe side. Unfortunately for Little Kevin, Marlo's response is to have Chris and Snoop take Little Kevin for a ride, and put out the word that [[Recap/TheWireS04E06MarginOfError Randy's]] a snitch. Speaking of Chris, he agrees unquestioningly to take care of Michael's stepfather, and ends up delivering a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of him.
