Watching Season 5 in my rewatch now. It's crazy how SE05EP04--"Bad Medicine"--is like a half season of The Wire in miniature; not surprisingly, the teleplay was written by David Simon. This is the second big Luther Mahoney episode, where he has another dealer killed because he's putting out an inferior product with the same package as Luther. You've got a junkie acting as an informant for the police, a narcotics cop comes over (first appearance of Stivers) to try and help homicide nail him, there's double-crosses and killed witnesses, a raid on a stash house, etc. It's almost like his first draft. Great stuff if you haven't revisited it in a while!
I also forgot how close together this Luther episode and Kellerman's being investigated for bribery are; it really ties together his rage and what eventually happens in the Luther story line.
