* [[Right Hand Versus Left Hand]]: When Avon Barksdale gets sent to prison at the end of Season 1, he and Stringer Bell start pulling their gang in separate directions. Stringer is a businessman at heart, and wants to turn the gang into a mostly nonviolent [[Thieves' Guild]] that finances legitimate business investments. Avon is a thug at heart, and is obsessed with controlling as many corners as possible, even if it inevitably leads to war and police investigation. Their conflict reaches its nadir in late Season 2, when Stringer {{spoiler|tries to trick Omar into assassinating Brother Mouzone, Avon's new enforcer}}.
* [[Road Sign Reversal]]: played for ''lots'' of drama.
* [[Running Gag]]: Herc's issues with surveillance, Omar's attempts and failures to get Honey Nut Cheerios and Donut's intermittent, and hilarious, appearances in various high-priced
* [[Rustproof Blood]]:
** Subverted: at first, it appears that {{spoiler|Michael}} has shot {{spoiler|Chris and Snoop}}, but it turns out that it was a training exercise with paintball rounds.
