* DemotedToExtra: We don't see any more of Santangelo until the end of Season 2, and that's a rather brief appearance, as most of his appearances will be from this point foreward.

* MirrorCharacter: Herc and Poot. Both start out the season as knuckleheads, but by the end, both of them have learned enough about the game to be (a little) smarter.

* PoliceLineup: The police can't do a line-up to identify Kima's shooter because she's still in the hospital, so they use a photo array. Bunk tries to "fat finger" Wee Bey, the man they think is the shooter (Correctly). But Kima can't remember and refuses to lie.

* ComicallySmallDemand: After being arrested, Wee-bey demands some take-out food to confess all of the murders he's ever committed. Given that he's already facing a life sentence at best for a different crime he's being charged with, he has nothing to lose by confessing, and prison food sucks.

* ChessMotifs: The metaphor about the drug game being a chess game between the cops and the criminals reaches its conclusion when Avon and Stringer (the King and Queen) are the last pieces on the board, waiting for a mass of SWAT units to raid their compound. The criminals are both wearing white, the cops are all either dressed in black or wearing black flack jackets. Avon quietly surrenders when he's faced with a checkmate.

* IronicEcho: Poot catches one of the crew in the Pit taking money and handing off drugs in the same motion. He chastises them and calls out to everyone, "We gotta tighten things up around here!" just as D'Angelo did at the beginning of the season.
** Stringer leans down to [=McNulty=] and says "Nicely done" after the sentencing trial, just as [=McNulty=] did to him in the very first episode.

** Santangelo mentioned last episode "What can [Rawls] do to me?" Demote him to walking a beat, apparently.
