Storyline 2: D’Angelo “D” Gets Out, we see Stringer Bell corrupting the trial and the witness. D’Angelo is driven to the Orlando Club - his uncle’s strip joint - by Weebay.

Finally, he sees that the witness “Gant” from his trial has been shot dead. Storyline3: Bubbles We meet Bubbles, who is running a counterfeit money scam with Johnny Weeks - who is “green” and how Bubbles is trying to get “brown”.
